5 Easy YouTube Video Ideas 2018

It's time for you to get started on YouTube. But the problem is you aren't sure what should be your first video. Today I've got five videos for you to do as your first YouTube video or your next one if you already have a channel. Hi, my name is Trena and welcome to my channel Tips with Trena. Here on this channel, I help creative business owners like you get started on YouTube to grow your business. And today I want to help you grow your business by giving you some video ideas to get started here on YouTube. Now, if you're already started here on YouTube, these video ideas are definitely going to help you to spark some creativity. Because video block is just as much a real thing as writer's block. The first video idea I have for you is an interview. Now, if you're just getting started on video, this is a great way to get your feet wet, to not feel so alone on video and to have somebody to talk to back and forth. It keeps the conversation going. You kind of forget you're on video. Plus, it's some great content to use on your YouTube channel. So you could do these interviews as just kind of like a Q and A, getting somebody to help share their tips and strategies in their niche. And it just starts to get you feeling comfortable on camera. Plus, it's going to bring some new content to your audience. Right? You probably don't specialize in the same thing they do, so you can bring their area of expertise to your channel for your audience. The second idea is to do an unboxing or a review video. So. So a couple years ago I did an unboxing video here on my channel. When I got my brand new camera, it got a lot of views because people wanted to see what's that camera look like. What are her first impressions? I also have done my review video on Powersheets, which is my goal tracker I use every single month. A lot of people go on YouTube or on Google to search what do these things look like? What do other people think about them before they buy them? So if you can provide that content and show them what you really think about a product or a planner, this gets you views and it gets people onto your channel to start to get to know who you are. Another video is to share 10 facts about you. Now this tag has been going through Instagram recently where people share like five facts, I think and you tag somebody else. But share 10 facts here on your YouTube channel. And why it's such a great video to do is because it's probably content you already know and should be easy to talk about because you're talking about yourself. Plus, it lets people get to know you. It gets them to know you more personal, more behind the scenes. So think about 10 things that you could share with people that they might not know about you. Another video you can share is A day in the Life. Now, I did a day in the Life video a while ago and I didn't think it would really be that interesting, but it got so many views and it got a lot of response to it. People were commenting saying they loved it, they love the vlog style. So just maybe think about what you're going to do someday in the next coming weeks and remember to take your camera along with you to make these videos easier for you. Think about the clips you want to get first before you start filming. Because if you just decide you're going to vlog some random day, you may not have something to show, you may totally forget. So map it out in your head what you want to share and then film your day in the life so that you know you're getting all the right things for that video. And, and people are always wondering how other people are doing it. So it's just kind of the nosy side of us that want to see how other people are going through their day as business owners or moms or whatever it is that you do. YouTube is the platform for how to videos. So create a how to video. Because these get searched so many times on YouTube, people wonder how to set up a landing page, how to create an email sequence, how to film a YouTube video. So, so what's a how to video that you could do to really show your expertise, to build your authority? Now you don't have to get too far in depth with these how to videos. Think very, very beginner steps. So for me it would be like how to come up with video ideas, right? So what are some beginner steps that you can do for your audience that's really gonna help them take that next step? But if you're still fearing that little record red button that I'm seeing right now and you don't feel like you have that confidence yet to be on camera? I. I'm hosting a five day challenge next week called the find your camera confidence challenge. Now this is just five days, about 15 minutes of your time every single day for five days. To help you build your confidence on camera, I'm going to give you some exercises, I'm going to be giving you feedback and we're going to have a private Facebook group full of female business owners that are wanting to grow their confidence, and they need some help to do it. So if you find yourself in that boat and you're really ready to create that video content that you know is going to take your business to that next level, make sure you sign up at the link down in the description box, because that's going to get you instant access to the Facebook group and somewhere for me to start sending you those emails to do those assignments to really build that confidence so you can feel good when you hit that red record button. Trust me, my first videos were super scary and super crappy, so I want to help you in avoiding that learning curve in this challenge. Thank you guys so much for watching, and I'll see you in the next video. Bye.
