- I'm gonna show you how to find YouTube topics
so you know what to make a video about
and we're startin' right now.
(upbeat music)
What is going on?
My name is Nick, 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,
Subscribe and hit the bell so you don't miss anything.
If you've been making YouTube videos for any amount of time,
you know that it can be difficult
to come up with video ideas.
I mean, what do I make a video about?
What topics do I cover?
How do I come up with, time and time again,
what to make a video about?
Since I'm all about solutions,
I'm gonna give you five tools that you can use
to help you come up with video topics.
And real quick, if there are any tools that you use
to help you come up with video topic ideas,
leave them down in the comments below.
We need to go to the computer, so, let's go.
Okay, so, once you get settled down in front of the computer
and you are ready to find some YouTube topics,
some video ideas that you can make,
the very first thing that you can look at
is the YouTube auto-complete feature.
This basically tells you, in order of importance,
the things that people are looking for.
So, in my case, if I wanna make a video about YouTube tips,
then I would start typing in YouTube tips
and then it would give me a list of ideas
that people are actually looking for.
This is a common thing, a lot of people know about this one.
A really unique one is actually coming up next
but one thing you can also do here that some people often
overlook is you can have, as an example, YouTube tips
and then do space and then a
and then that gives me a bunch of options.
You can do a backspace b, gives me a bunch of more options.
C and you just go through the entire alphabet
and before you know it you have an entire book full of ideas
that you can further research to find out
if that's the topic that you should make your video on.
Next up on our list is keyword io.
Basically with keyword io, what it is
is it is a general keyword research tool.
This will let you know what people are looking for
in Google, it'll let you know what people are looking for
in YouTube, and so on.
So, in our case, depending on if you're trying to rank
a video in Google or YouTube or both,
then we're just going to go in this particular tab here
and we're gonna search YouTube specifically.
So, again, in my case, I would do YouTube tips
and I would see what would come up there
and as you can see it's loading a bunch of keywords for me
and then I'm gonna scroll down the page and you can see
it's giving me all of these ideas.
If you get this popup, of course you can create your account
or you can just click no thanks down here at the bottom,
that will get you past that, but right here it's giving me
a bunch of different ideas based around YouTube tips
that I can create videos on.
Now, unlike the auto-complete option,
these keywords here, these are not in order of popularity.
These are in alphabetical order, so,
just keep that in mind when you are putting these together
but this will basically give you tons of insight into things
that people are actually looking for which is extremely
important when you are trying to make content
that people can find so that they can watch your videos
and subscribe to your channel.
Next up on the list is the Google AdWords KeyWord Planner.
You can get here by just going to Google
and typing in KeyWord Planner into the search box
and it will bring you here.
Now, as a side note, you have to have a Google AdWords
account in order to get into this
but you can set up a Google AdWords account for free.
So, when it prompts you at the beginning
for a bunch of extra stuff, just work your way through it
and don't worry about any of it
because you can actually get into this for free.
But once you are into your AdWords account,
you just wanna go to your Tools option
and then go down to Keyword Planner.
Once you are in the Keyword Planner,
all you have to do is you type in whatever topic it is
that you are going after and, of course, if you're going
after a certain language, a certain location,
or something like that, then you can actually select it
down here in the bottom.
But if you want a nice broad range of ideas
then you can just go down, click on Get Ideas,
it's pretty appropriate, and then what's gonna happen is the
Keyword Planner is going to load a bunch of ideas for you.
Now, as you can see, it's giving me a bunch of ideas
based on the average monthly search volume
which is very valuable information
but it's also giving me ad group ideas.
Now, with these ad group ideas,
basically if I click into these, then I can see under
Create A YouTube that I have YouTube create channel,
YouTube create a channel, create YouTube video,
and I have all these other different ways, Become YouTube,
how to become famous on YouTube,
how to become YouTube famous,
and basically it's an endless sea of ideas
that you can tap into regardless of the niche that you're in
to come up with tons and tons and tons of video ideas.
And the cool thing about this one is that it also gives you
a general range of how many people are actually
searching for that on Google.
Now, this isn't YouTube specific, this is Google specific,
but it gives you an idea of how many people are searching
for this on Google, which there's usually a pretty strong
correlation between Google and YouTube
depending on the topics.
If there's a lot of people searching for it on Google,
there's a good chance that there's a lot of people
searching for it on YouTube as well as long
as there is video content to support.
Next up on our list is the TubeBuddy Tag Explorer.
For the TubeBuddy Tag Explorer,
all you have to do is go up into your plugin
and go down to the Tag Explorer option here
and if you do not have TubeBuddy installed,
there's going to be a link to TubeBuddy
down in the description of this video,
you can click on that, go check out TubeBuddy,
they have a free version and a paid version.
The free version will get you started,
the paid version will get you a bunch of awesome additional
things that you can use inside of the plugin.
But what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna type in that same term,
YouTube tips, and again, you would make this whatever would
be applicable to your particular channel type
or the type of content it is that you're making.
This shows you how many of these terms that you own.
Personally, I own three out of 20,
but also gives you a little bit of insight
on if you should go for this term or not.
Since we're just talking about video ideas,
you can just scroll down through this list
and you can, as you can see, you can come up
with a ton of video ideas this way as well.
And, another thing, you'll see these tabs up here
at the top, you can click on Trending,
see if anything comes up there, YouTube channel tips
definitely comes up under Trending, so,
that might be something that I would make a video about.
The next one on the list is Auto-Suggested
and this also gives you more insight
into what people are looking for on YouTube
and what people are looking for inside of Google
so you can specifically, again, so you can specifically
make the content that people are looking for
to increase your chances of discoverability.
Another thing you can do for a video ideas
if you're running a little dry
is you can go to a channel who makes videos
similar to the content that you make,
you can go to their Videos tabs, and once you are on
their Videos tab, then, one, you're gonna see a bunch of
ideas anyway but two, you can sort by most popular
and what this is going to do is
this is going to let you know what videos
they have made that have gotten the most traction.
Now, a few things you wanna keep in mind, of course,
is the upload date and things like that.
If whoever you're looking at is in your industry
and they just recently uploaded a video
on this specific topic that you're thinking of doing,
in that case, you probably don't wanna make a video
about it just yet.
I would give it at least three months, maybe six months,
maybe even nine months before you make that video
but if you like the idea and you're compiling a list,
then that will give you a general idea of some other things
that you can make videos about.
And, of course, as another bonus tip because, you know,
if you watch my videos on a regular basis,
you know that I like to give bonus tips,
you can actually go to Google and you can type in things
that would be related to something you might be thinking
about making a video about, see what type of articles
come up, and then start looking into, okay, well,
this is the type of article that comes up
for this particular topic, so, maybe this is something else
that I can make a video about
or maybe I can read these articles to maybe get inspiration
for a video that's about this topic
but maybe I can come at it from a different angle.
I wanna give a special thanks
