idea? Forced creativity doesn't make a good video. Stay tuned throughout this video to
discover several ways to come up with endless YouTube video ideas in 2020.
Hi, my name's 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 content.
Number one, research the most popular search phrases. These are phrases that people are
entering into the search engines to get answers to the questions. For example, maybe asking
how to tie a tie? How to grow tomatoes? How to get more views on YouTube? You're literally
tapping into the mind of your target audience. An easy way to do this is to get suggestions
from the YouTube search bar. For example, if I enter YouTube video ideas
on YouTube search bar I get "YouTube video ideas for beginners", "YouTube video ideas
without showing face", "YouTube video ideas with friends", "YouTube video ideas for couples",
et cetera. Whatever your niche, use YouTube search bar to quickly get new YouTube video
ideas. You can do the same with Google. For example,
if I enter "YouTube video ideas", on the Google search engine, I'll get related keyword ideas.
Under related keywords, I see "YouTube video ideas generator", "YouTube video ideas challenges",
"YouTube video ideas for couples", et cetera. You also get more keyword ideas under the
title "People Also Search For". If you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page,
you get searches related to YouTube video ideas. If you want to speed up your keyword
research, you can use a tool like TubeBuddy. For example, if I enter YouTube video ideas
in keyword explore from TubeBuddy, click explore, it will give me the overall score, the search
volume, competition, optimization strength, number of videos and search results, number
of monthly searches, it will also show me related used phrases and the most used tags.
This quickly speeds up my keyword research. I'll post a link to TubeBuddy in the description
below this video. Another great tool is Answer The Public. You
simply enter your phrase in the search box, and within a few seconds, you get the most
frequently asked questions that are asked in your niche. These are popular questions
that people are entering into the search engines, so you're tapping into the mind of your most
target audience. Number two, survey your audience. If you have
an email list or a Facebook Group, survey your audience. If you belong to somebody else's
Facebook group or forum, ask a question on the group or forum. You can also start a poll
in those forums or groups. You can also see which questions have been asked again and
again in your comments. You also put a question to topic comments asking for new video ideas.
Number three, visit competitor's channels. If I'm stuck for video ideas I often visit
my competitor's channels, so I get inspiration from watching their videos. You can also see
which video topics are getting the most traffic. Instead of presenting the same content, approach
the topic from a different angle. Viewers often resonate with content that comes from
a different personality. You can also get ideas from watching videos from other people's
channels that are not in your niche. Number four, revamp old videos. If you've
been publishing videos on your channel for a while, you probably have several videos
that need updating. Create a new title and update the content with more relevant information.
If you've been scripting your videos, you can just take the old script and rewrite it.
This will save you a lot of time starting from scratch.
Number five, capitalize on your most successful videos. Go into YouTube Studio analytics and
observe the top 10 videos in your niche. You already know these topics attract a lot of
traffic, so try to approach them from a different angle. Try to come up with similar topics,
with similar content. Number six, popular trends. If you're one
of the first ones to jump on a popular trend in your niche, it can result in a lot of growth
to your channel. One of the best ways to keep up with popular trends in your niche is Google
Trends. Just enter a main keyword in Google Trends and it'll show you the trends in your
niche. Alternatively, you can set up Google Alerts or receive an email once a week or
once a day about industry news in your niche. You can also subscribe to industry publications,
blogs and forums. Number seven, take a break. If you try to
force your creativity, you're probably not going to get very creative. Instead, change
your environment by getting out of the office and go outside. For example, I usually go
for a one-hour bike ride every day to get a break from the office. This relieves stress
and I usually come up with new ideas. You can do something similar by going for a walk
or listening to music. Even if you do something boring it gives your mind a rest so new ideas
can trickle into your mind for future videos. Here's a bonus tip. Do a brain dump. Take
out a piece of paper and just write down a bunch of ideas without thinking. By taking
action it gets your creative juices going. Let me ask you a question. How do you currently
generate new ideas for future videos? Post your answer in the comments below. I'd love
to read them and I'm sure others would too. Did you know that your first video is probably
going to suck? Even if you create a lot of videos some videos are still going to suck?
If you want to know how to make a video on YouTube so it doesn't suck watch the next
video. You'll learn what equipment to use and how to plan, film, edit and promote your
video. If you watch the end you'll know how to make a video that doesn't suck. Thanks
for watching and we'll see you in the next video.
