How do you come up with good video ideas for YouTube that get lots of views?
In this video, I'm going to show you five highly effective tools that will enable you
to generate ideas for your YouTube videos, so you'll never have to stare at a blank screen
again.
Every one of these tools is a YouTube video ideas generator.
Hello, my name is Herman Drost.
If you want to grow your audience on YouTube and generate traffic leads and sales on autopilot,
hit the subscribe button, and click the bell notification icon so you'll be notified whenever
I upload new videos.
The biggest challenge for generating new video ideas is to come up with topics that your
audience is interested in.
If they're not interested in your topic, they're not going to watch your video.
One of the best ways to do this is to find out what your audience is searching for.
You can achieve this for free in online tools that show you what people are typing into
the search engines, what questions they're asking, and getting the search volume for
those terms in questions.
Here are five highly effective tools for generating new YouTube video ideas.
Number one, Keywords Everywhere.
This is a free Chrome extension that allows you to see the search volume, the cost per
click, and the competition for 16 different websites.
When you type in your keywords, you'll automatically get the search volume per month for that keyword.
This means that people are actively searching for that particular keyword in the search
engines.
If there's no monthly searches for that particular keyword phrase, you'll waste a lot of time
creating videos that don't rank in the search engines and don't get any traffic.
Therefore, you want to choose topics that guarantee views.
Number two, YouTube Search Bar.
All you have to do is to enter your main keyword in the YouTube search bar, and you'll get
a bunch of suggestions.
For example, if I enter "train puppies" in the YouTube search bar, I get a bunch of suggestions
for train puppies, train puppies not the bite, train puppies to walk on a leash, et cetera.
Keywords Everywhere gives me the search volume for these keyword phrases.
If I enter "_ train puppies," I get all the how-to terms for that particular keyword phrase.
I got how to train puppies, how to train puppies not to bite, how to train puppies in Hindi.
Down here, I've got how do you train puppies, 590 searches per month.
If I enter space, underscore at the end, I get longer keyword phrases such as train puppies
not to bite, train puppies to walk on a leash, train puppies to sleep through the night.
Big train puppies, train chihuahua puppies, et cetera.
I can also go through the alphabet such as, A, how to train puppies at home.
B, how to train puppies basic commands.
C, how to train puppies commands, how to train cavachon puppies, 30 searches per month.
D, how to train dachshund puppies, 210 searches per month, and so on.
By doing this exercise, you'll find a whole bunch of new video ideas.
I can do the same for Google.
If I enter "train puppies" on the Google search bar, then I get a bunch of keyword phrases
with the search volume beside them.
How to train a puppy to sit, 2,400 searches per month.
Puppy training guide, 1,900 searches per month, et cetera.
If I scroll down, I can find related keywords with the volume, cost per click, and the competition.
You can also find what people search for with the volume, cost per click, and competition.
If I scroll down to the bottom, you can find searches related to train puppies.
I can also see that YouTube videos appear as a carousel in Google search as shown here.
If you find a keyword phrase that has a good search volume both in Google search and YouTube
search, then you could rank for that phrase both in Google and YouTube.
You'll then be able to get double amount of traffic, than if you just appeared in one
type of search.
Number three, AnswerThePublic.
This is a free video ideas generator that gives you the most frequently asked questions
in your niche.
If I enter the keyword phrase, "train puppies" in the search bar, click Get Questions, we'll
get questions in a few seconds.
I've got an image at the top here with 47 questions.
If I hover over the questions, I can get the search volume.
If I scroll down, I get 292 alphabeticals, and I can also get the search volume.
For instance here, I got trained puppies for sale set around 20 searches per month.
$1.45 cost per click.
Under I, potty train puppies in apartment, 2,400 searches per month, and 90¢ cost per
click.
Kennel train puppies, 2,400 searches per month, $1.23 per click.

video ideas.
How can you quickly sort the search volume for these particular keyword phrases?
Scroll down to the bottom, click Add All Keywords, and go to Keywords Everywhere, refresh the
page.
Now I've got the keyword, the search volume, the cost per click, and competition for all
these keyword phrases.
If I click the drop down, show 500, and I click search volume, then you can see the
search volume in descending order.
Of course, these first ones don't make any sense, but if I scroll down, I can see toilet
train puppies has 9,900 searches per month.
How to train puppies for toilet, 6,600 searches per month.

Number four and five are paid tools that generate video ideas for YouTube videos.
Number four TubeBuddy.
There's a free Chrome extension that gives you the keyword score for the topics that
you choose.
It will suggest topics that are easy to rank for based upon the keyword score.
I highly recommend upgrading to the star option, so you get access to many more keywords, and
you'll save a lot of time.
After you've installed the TubeBuddy Chrome extension, you see the TV icon at the top
of the page.
Click on the icon, click Launch Keyword Explorer Now.
I'm going to enter the keyword phrase, "Hawaii vacations."
You can see automatically, it provides suggestions from the YouTube search bar.
Click explore, you see that the way the keyword score specific to my channel is very poor.
It's based upon how many views my videos tend to get and my chance of ranking in these search
results.
The unweighted keyword score is how this keyword is searched very often, but it's bad to target
because it's extremely competitive and hard to rank.
Therefore, I should choose a longer keyword phrase.
I'm going to select "Hawaii vacations best time to go."
You can also see these score analysis down the bottom here.
Search volume is excellent, competition is very poor, optimization strength is excellent,
number of videos and search results, 6.32 million, number searches per month, 350,000.
Let's look at a longer keyword phrase, "Hawaii vacations best time to go."
Now I see that my weighted keyword score is very good, 71 out of 100.
Search volume is fair, competition is excellent, optimization strength is excellent, number
of videos and search results is 14 million.
Searches per month, 80 per month, then the unweighted keyword score is also very good,
70 out of 100.
That would be a great video idea for future videos.
It would be easy to rank and be able to get a lot of traffic.
You can check for "Hawaii vacations" again and look at these other opportunities like
"Hawaii vacations 2020."
Very good weighted score, and a good unweighted score.
With the TubeBuddy tool, I can quickly and easily find video content ideas for future
videos.
I know that these videos are going to get views and subscribers because they have a
great search volume.
If you want to get access to even more keywords, I highly recommend upgrading to the star or
legend options of TubeBuddy.
