this video will be separated into two parts Part One a step-by-step process for how to come up with YouTube content ideas and part two I'll give you 10 ideas that have already been proven to work well on YouTube that you can use to get started what's up friends I'm Millie I'm an influencer coach and welcome to another weekly video as always time Stamps will be in the description down below because I value your time and you already know where you're here so let's get into it step one of getting content ideas is simply to know
the type of content that you want to make I'll Breeze right over this because I know this might be a reviewed for some of you but it's important for anyone who hasn't heard this before if you already know your Niche great that will come in handy if not that's actually okay too you have three approaches when it comes to creating content number one you can create content around your Niche or the industry that you're in this could be fashion Fitness food organization home decor if you know your Niche write that down on a piece of
paper now if you don't know your Niche there is this second approach you can create content around a particular audience type let's say you don't know what topic you want to talk about on YouTube but you do know that you want to reach college students or other stay-at-home moms who might need an online friend create content for them what are they going to YouTube for what kind of videos are they consuming create those types of videos if you know your audience perfect write that down on a piece of paper too number three approach if you're
more advanced you can combine the two and create content within a particular Niche for a particular audience this would look like creating Fitness videos for stay-at-home moms or doing Starbucks coffee taste tests that Niche would be like food or taste tests but honing in on Starbucks coffee because you want to reach other Starbucks drinkers even easy home organization hacks this would Target people who maybe don't have time to do large projects when you have your Niche figured out or your industry figured out ask yourself more questions about that so yeah it's Fitness but what kind
of Fitness for who answering those questions can help you create more specific content to help rank your videos higher in search by using those keywords let me explain with like the next step so now that you have your two sticky notes one with your Niche one with your target audience we're going to use that information to come up with your content ideas this is step two doing your keyword research if you want your videos to rank on YouTube you want to make sure that you take the time doing your keyword research because that's what YouTube
uses to push your content to the right people and the right searches now what are keywords I feel like a lot of people over complicate what SEO is and what keywords are so I'm not going to over complicate it we're going to keep it simple I like the definition used from moz.com keywords are ideas and topics that Define what your contents about simple enough right now in terms of SEO there are the words that Searchers enter into search engines also known as search queries now in terms of SEO they are the words or the phrases
that Searchers are entering into on search engines with these keywords you're going to use them as prompts to title your video therefore becoming video topics so this is how I do my keyword research let's start with the YouTube platform itself I use YouTube along with three extensions or Chrome tool extensions tube buddy vid IQ and keywords everywhere what I do is I put my Niche or my industry into the search bar on YouTube I don't press enter yet I just see what pops up below and whatever is suggested below that is what's currently being searched
on YouTube if you're using keywords everywhere keywords everywhere is paid but totally worth it you have to pay for like credits I think I've did $10 their lowest Credit One and it's lasted me an entire years worth of searches if you're using keywords everywhere what's going to happen is next to each search recommendation there's going to be a number and this number indicates how many searches per month that topic is getting so if I type in Instagram and below that it says Instagram reals Instagram followers Instagram stories Instagram tips all of those are below next
to that there's going to be numbers saying 50 search per month or 3,000 searches per month what you're going to focus on is the number that is closest to your current number of subscribers so if you have 100 subscribers right now you're looking for keywords or keyword phrases that have close to 100 searches per month a little more a little less but around 100 searches per month next when you actually press enter and you search at that keyword phrase or that keyword you can use tools like tube buddy and vid IQ to show you your
ranking of how well your channel will perform if you created a video on that topic so on the side of my search I see two buddy saying hey this is a this is a good word to use this is great if it's bad poor down there then maybe play around with the words the phrasing a little bit until you get those better results using tuddy or vid IQ now you don't have to just type in your Niche you could also do this on other search engines like Google Pinterest Tik Tok even when you go to
Tik Tok and you search a specific word or free key phrase when you scroll down Tik Tok will say others searched for and basically they're telling you hey here's other trending topics that other people are looking for on Tik Tok so that's a good indicator of what's currently trending and you don't have to just type in your Niche into the bar you can also type in your content pillars and those are the topics that you rotate talking about so maybe your channel is a fashion Channel that's all you know you want to do fashion and
maybe what you're going to rotate talking about you're going to do fashion hauls you're going to do fashion tips and tricks you're going to do styling videos and maybe current trends so maybe those are like the four types of videos you create content about you're going to type in haul instead of fashion into these search engines to see what types of hauls are currently trending are they Amazon hauls is it close to the holiday season could you do a fall haul Halloween Haul getting specific with maybe Halloween Amazon haul 2022 so adding those specific words
to make it as specific as possible can really help you narrow down your video title making it easier for YouTube to recommend your content to the right people now before we go into step number three I want to say thank you to this video's sponsor which is also one of my favorite tools to use in tandem with YouTube and that's epidemic sound epidemic sound is a place you can get royaltyfree music as a video creator meaning that your content will be safe from copyright claims anywhere you use it which is super important if you want

I don't have comments therefore how do I listen to my audience's comments when I don't have an audience it's okay what you're going to do is you're going to go to another Creator on the YouTube platform that is within the similar industry as you go to their recent videos and look at the comments of those videos Their audience is really interactive and they're going to ask questions like hey have you created a video on this topic yet can you create a video on this topic search and filter through their comments and you're going to see
