Why You Struggle Coming up with YouTube Video Ideas 🤦‍♂️

2d ago in General

This might rub some people the wrong way, HOWEVER, this is speaking from first hand experience, doing this relentlessly over 10 years, generating $5+ million in YouTube ad revenue, and knowing countless YouTubers who think the same way…

& believe us when we say this, we want the best for you. We’re not in the business of false promises and leading people on.

If you need a ton of help coming up with video ideas on a regular basis, you’ve chosen the wrong YouTube channel. End of story.

A writer doesn’t need to scrape around on what book to write, it just comes to them, they just ‘feel’ it. A director wouldn’t go asking around ‘what movie should I direct next, we have no idea’, they just ‘feel it’.

We’re not smart enough to explain what this ‘feeling’ is, but we can tell you what this feeling isn’t:

Having no idea what videos to create on a regular basis.
Relying on AI to generate your video idea.
Relying on other people for your video ideas.

Now, all creators experience a bit of video block from time to time, that’s natural, but if you have no idea what videos to create on a regular basis, I am sorry to tell you, you’re channel just doesn’t align with you and is going to struggle to grow.

There’s no magic trick to coming up with video ideas. Yes using other people’s content who are within your niche is a fantastic way to inspire your own content, but you still need to ‘feel’ it. You need that gut feeling that “this video idea sits well with me” and I am excited to create something similar.

Most people run into these regular video block issues because they choose YouTube channels based on what is current and or pays the most money.

We could give you 50 YouTube channel ideas right now that can make you $5k a month if you stayed consistent within 6-12 months, but you won’t be able to stay consistent because you won’t be able to generate video ideas for the channel because there will be no inspiration from you.

How can you come up 100+ video ideas if it’s a subject you know nothing about and have no interest in learning? You just can’t do this for the long haul.

Solution: just don’t start your channel unless you ‘feel’ it.

You’ll know exactly what we mean when you get this feeling…
