that you can come up with video ideas for YouTube,
and we're starting right now.

What is going on?
My name is Nick from TuberTools.com,
welcome to another video.
If this is your first time here and you wanna
learn how to grow your channel, make videos,
and all types of other YouTube related stuff,
start now by subscribing and clicking the bell
so you don't miss anything.
Okay, I know coming up with video ideas
can be difficult, it's actually one of the biggest
hurdles outside of getting on camera in the first place
that YouTubers have, coming up with ideas
over and over and over and over again,
this is gonna help you out.
But first, if you have any techniques or tricks
that you use to come up with ideas,
make sure you leave them in the comments
below for anybody else that's gonna watch this video.
Okay, the first thing that I always recommend
to people when they're trying to come up with video
ideas is to go up to the auto complete feature
inside of YouTube, basically that's the little
search box at the very top of the page.
If you just start typing stuff in there,
it can be anything, type anything up in the search box,
and then YouTube is gonna start suggesting ideas to you.
Those are all things that people are looking for
and those are things that you can make videos about.
And as a bonus, those are also the exact keyword
phrases that people are searching for, so if you make
videos that are specifically based on those phrases,
then you're massively increasing your chances
of discovery on YouTube.
So not only are you gonna come up with a great
idea by using that, but you're also going to help
urselff get more attention on YouTube which is a
win and and win, or in other words,
you're killing two birds with one stone.
Until just now, I never really thought about
how sad that phrase actually is.
Number two is the magazine rack at your local store.
Now wait a minute, hear me out.
The cool thing about going to a magazine rack
is not only do they have tons of magazines that are
based on specific topic sets, you know you can
find the ones that are based on the topic sets
that you happen to cover on your channel,
but if you start looking into magazines
that are not directly related to your topic set,
you would be blown away at all of the different
ideas that you can come up with by seeing the things
that they're covering in other magazines.
As an example, if you make car videos,
videos about cars, and you look into a beauty magazine,
you see the way that they're titling things
and the topics that they're talking about and you think,
okay, how can I apply this to a car?
Not only are you getting ideas that are most likely
a little bit more unique than your competition,
but you're also giving your viewers something
that's a little bit more unique.
If you end up using the magazine rack method
make sure that you definitely look inside
of the magazines that apply to your niche,
but also keep your mind open, look into some
other magazines, just random magazines that have
nothing to do what it is that you talk about,
and see if you spark any new ideas.
Now, you can take this whole thing up a notch
and even save yourself some gas money for
not having to run to the store, or unless
of course you're driving an electric vehicle,
but even if you're using an electric vehicle
you can use some of your electricity in your place
to hop on the internet and just look at industry
magazines from the comfort of your own home.
The only downside of doing it this way is you're
only looking at the magazines that you happen
to know about that you happen to know to search for
instead of also being inspired by the other types
of magazines that we are talking about in the last one.
But regardless, it is a fantastic method
to come up with video ideas.
Another way to come up with video ideas
is to search in your comments section.
No matter what type of content you make,
there's a really good chance there's somebody down there
asking you a question about what it is that you're doing.
Make videos about that, and as a matter of fact,
if you have any YouTube questions that you want
me to answer, go ahead and leave them
in the comments right now.
And if by some chance you don't have enough comments
coming in yet, or you don't have people that
are asking you a bunch of questions yet,
you can always as your viewers to ask a question
just like I did a second ago.
Another method of coming up with video ideas
is don't necessarily think of a video idea
as a video idea, hey I gotta come up with this
video idea, think of it more along the lines
of, what do I have to say?
I mean, really, what is it that you want to say?
What message do you wanna get out there?
What information do you have or what thoughts
do you have, or what opinions or ideas or theories
do you have that your audience might be interested
in and that you might wanna share with your audience?
Here's the thing, of course you wanna make as many
videos as possible to where you can rank them
in search so you can increase your chances of discovery
and all of that good stuff, but, if you have
something that you wanna say, you've got the stage
to stand on, you've got the people that are watching you,
you've got YouTube that you can use to help you
express whatever thoughts, ideas, or opinions,
or anything else that you wanna share in your videos.
But hey, make sure you keep it clean, okay?
Another way that you can get video ideas is you
can ask your family, your friends, anybody
that watches your videos, ask them what they think
you should make a video about.
Personally, I actually get a surprisingly large
number of video ideas just from people that I know
asking me questions about YouTube.
So you can pool the people that you're around
and see what you can come up with.
