- You're about to witness the power of ChatGPT
for generating creative and unique video ideas.
The kind that can take you
from just getting a few views
to completely blowing up your channel.
And this AI tool is completely free,
but will 100% help you make videos
that will earn you more money and subscribers,
while saving you a ton of time.
This is exactly what I do when I need
a banger YouTube video idea, using ChatGPT.
There's three methods here.
Let me know which of these you like most in the comments.
The first method is to take inspiration.
First off, go find the top creators in your niche
or just a few that inspire you.
Then make a list of their top videos,
or best videos from the last 30 to 90 days,
to get an idea of what's currently working for them.
For this example, let's pretend that
I'm a self-improvement adventure-style channel.
- Yee-haw.
- I'd look at my favorites like Nathaniel Drew,
Yes Theory and Michelle Khare.
Then add five or so of their videos to a list.
This list is important.
This is what you're going to feed ChatGPT
to, kind of, guide it into the direction
that you want to go.
Personally, I go to ChatGPT
and talk to it like I'm talking to a friend.
"Hey, can you help me come up with ideas
for videos like the ones on this list?"
And ChatGPT actually responded,
"Sure, I'd be happy to help you
come up with ideas for videos.
Could you please provide me with the list
you're referring to, so I can get a better sense
of the type of videos you're interested in creating?"
So, copy, paste, and hit Enter.
ChatGPT will start generating video ideas
for you that are similar to the things
that are already working in your niche,
but with a unique twist.
- Whoa.
- In this example, it gave me things like,
"Going off the grid for a weekend"
and "Trying a Zero Waste Lifestyle for a Month."
I could totally see those creators making these videos,
if they had the idea.
Method two is to remix your existing videos.
Honestly, the existing content in your channel
could be, just, a gold mine for ideas.
Go through your library
and look for the best performing videos.
If you're a smaller channel, specifically look
at the videos that are attracting the most new subscribers
and watch time hours.
Go to YouTube analytics, tap Advanced Mode.
Then change the date range to last 30 to 90 days.
Then take a look at the top videos
for either Watch Time or Subscribers.
Now make a list of a few of them,
throw them into ChatGPT, but this time we're just
gonna use them as inspiration to remix the videos
that your subscribers are already falling in love with.
So, I'll literally say,
"My YouTube channel is doing well with these videos.
Can you suggest new ones in the same style?"
Copy and paste that list, then hit Enter.
This time ChatGPT will give you winning ideas
personalized to your channel.
I mean, for us, it was able to recognize
that we create content related to YouTube
that helps creators grow their channels.
Then it suggested videos like,
"Inspiring Stories of Small Channels
That Made it Big on YouTube"
and "Secrets of Highly Successful YouTube Channels."
I mean, matter of fact,
would you like to see any of those videos?
Let me know in the comments below.
And then method three is just to freestyle.
I love giving ChatGPT examples
from the past videos that perform well on my channel
or for other channels just to give it some context
and help guide it into the direction
of video ideas that are already resonating with my audience.
But sometimes it's just fun to freestyle.
Unfortunately, if I ask ChatGPT basic questions,
it gives me basic answers that I don't really like.
When I asked it to give me creative video ideas
for an entertainment YouTube channel
it gave me the usual stuff like challenge videos,
top 10 video list, parodies.
That's just too generic.
So, instead I make highly detailed requests like this,
"Give me 10 video ideas for an entertainment YouTube channel
about finance that would invoke the feeling of curiosity.
Each title should be under 70 characters."
That's much better.
Or "I need 10 video ideas for a fitness channel
that would invoke the sense of fear about workout mistakes.
Each title should be under 70 characters long."
This time it gave me
"The Dangerous Consequences of Bad Form."
"Stop These Workout Mistakes Before It's Too Late."
"The Hidden Risk of Popular Exercises."
You can reverse engineer any of these videos
into, like, absolute bangers,
and I can already see the video title and thumbnail
that would go out with these.
Like these are...
you might want to take these,
if you're interested.
And once you make your perfect video idea
here's a legitimate hack to get more views,
I love you guys and keep creating.
