5 Places to Get Good Video Ideas in 2018

Coming up with new content ideas can be difficult, especially if you're posting two blogs every single week or if you're like me and I'm posting two new videos every single week. So how can you come up with new content ideas without repeating the old ones? In today's video, I'm going to give you a couple strategies on how you can come up with new content ideas that your ideal audience is looking for. Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of Just the Tips. My name is Trena. If you are new here and I help creative business owners like you get started here on YouTube. This is video two and a series I'm doing here on my channel to help you come up with content ideas. Last week I shared 15 video ideas to help you get started here on YouTube. And today I'm going to share with you the ways I come up with content ideas. First way to come up with new content ideas is to go to YouTube and I do this all the time. I go to Google Chrome and I go into an incognito window. This way YouTube isn't taking my previous search history to affect my search results. Then you just start typing in your video idea, start to type that into the YouTube search bar and YouTube is going to pre populate based on what people are actually searching for. You can see a wide list of ideas that you can get from YouTube. That's the first way you can start coming up with content ideas. The second way to come up with new content ideas is go to Google Trends. Just go to google.trends.com and see what's trending in your if you're thinking about blogging goals, type that in, See if it's trending. If it's going to take off. I know specifically coming up, Christmas is coming up. That's a tentpole event that's going to be taking off. Maybe Christmas ideas for scrapbookers, Christmas ideas for business owners. Take a look at when that trend is taking off. You want to get your video out prior to the uprise in that trend. The third way is going to Google Keyword Tool Planner. So this is one of my favorite ones. Not only does it help me realize what the competition is going to be and how often that specific keyword is searched a month, but it also spikes new content ideas just by looking at the results it comes up with. So you could type in any kind of keyword phrase in there to see what Google has to say about what whether it's highly competitive, whether it's searched a lot, and then just kind of get some new ideas based on other recommendations that that tool has for you. The next way to come up with content idea is Facebook groups. So I always like to do a poll in my Facebook group video for Biz Crew just to see what people want me to talk about. You could also post into a Facebook group. You know, what are you struggling with? XYZ most see what people are responding to or even just go into a Facebook group, go to that little search bar and type in your niche, whether it's Instagram, YouTube, blogging, and see what questions are popping up based around that keyword and do a video on that. And the final way is to look at what industry leaders are doing. So one of the industry leaders that I look up to, a mentor of mine, is Tim Schmoyer of Video Creators. So I take a look and see what types of videos he's doing. Now I'm not going to copy those videos. I but I have a different spin on it. I have a different audience, I have a different way of teaching and I have different thoughts on that topic. So I'm going to teach or share different content than he would. But I know if he's talking about it that it's something that should be talked about in my specific industry. So who are some leaders in your industry? Do they have a blog? Do they have a YouTube channel? And what are they talking about that you could give your take on? So I want to know, how do you currently come up with your content ideas? Let me know in the comments section below. Your do you use Facebook groups? Do you just ask on social media? Let me know. I'd love to hear.
