[0:00] I use five main strategies to come up
[0:01] with viral video ideas that get views
[0:03] like this for myself and also my clients
[0:06] and in this video I'm going to share all
[0:08] five of them with you so that you'll
[0:09] never run out of Banger video ideas ever
[0:11] again so let's start with strategy
[0:14] number one the absurdity formula the
[0:16] absurdity formula relies on creating
[0:18] content that is within the realm of
[0:20] possibility but is so absurd that it
[0:22] seems almost impossible and I'm going to
[0:24] show you how to use it for yourself in
[0:26] the early days of YouTube it wasn't that
[0:28] hard to get a ton of views if you knew
[0:30] what you were doing because the
[0:31] standards for Content were so much lower
[0:33] than what they are now for example 6
[0:35] years ago Mr Beast published this video
[0:37] where he gave away $10,000 which was
[0:39] absolutely crazy for the time it ended
[0:42] up getting 10 million views whereas this
[0:44] video on giving away $10,000 that was
[0:46] posted by a Creator who has way more
[0:48] subs than Mr Beast did at the time only
[0:50] got 35,000 views which is pretty good
[0:52] nonetheless but is a long shot off of Mr
[0:54] B's 10 million nowadays if an unknown
[0:57] Creator were to publish this video it
[0:58] would probably struggle to even crack
[1:00] 1,000 views potentially because giving
[1:02] away $10,000 in a video is no longer
[1:04] absurd enough because it's been done so
[1:06] many times to weigh bigger scales so to
[1:09] use the absurdity formula you need to
[1:11] come up with ideas that people think are
[1:13] absurd or aren't possible on my old
[1:15] gamedev Channel Nate Dev I created a
[1:17] video called I made a game in one line
[1:19] of code which got over 2 million views
[1:21] the reason this video did so well is
[1:23] that most people understand that even
[1:25] small video games require hundreds if
[1:27] not thousands of lines of code to make
[1:29] them work so doing it in one line of
[1:31] code was crazy to people however I
[1:33] mentioned earlier that it also needs to
[1:35] be within the realm of possibility
[1:37] despite seeming almost impossible and
[1:39] this is important because if you make an
[1:41] absurd claim and then don't deliver on
[1:43] it in the video your viewers will get
[1:44] upset and click off your video killing
[1:46] its performance on the flip side if you
[1:48] make a bold claim like I did and then
[1:50] actually deliver on it you'll get way
[1:51] more clicks on your video than you even
[1:53] know it to do with in fact I literally
[1:55] did this with two other videos on the
[1:56] exact same channel that did the same
[1:58] thing as the first so to use this
[2:00] technique for yourself you want to first
[2:01] put yourself in the mind of the viewer
[2:03] and then write down 10 to 20 absurd
[2:05] video ideas don't even worry about
[2:07] whether these ideas are possible right
[2:08] now just generate the absolute best
[2:10] videos you can think of for example if
[2:12] you make Finance content you might want
[2:13] to make a video called I don't know I
[2:15] built a$0 million business in 24 hours
[2:17] or if you make cooking videos for
[2:19] example maybe you'll come up with a
[2:20] video called cooking a five-star gourmet
[2:22] meal with $5 just make sure your ideas
[2:25] don't seem too impossible or viewers
[2:26] will think you're lying and won't click
[2:28] and once you've written down a bunch of
[2:30] video ideas you'll want to figure out
[2:32] exactly how you're going to deliver on
[2:33] them which might seem really difficult
[2:35] until you get creative and realize that
[2:37] you can cap a little bit if you just
[2:38] follow it up with a super educational or
[2:40] entertaining video to make up for it for
[2:43] example in this video where I made a
[2:44] game without using my computer I
[2:46] technically made the game without using
[2:48] my computer because I actually ended up
[2:49] calling my friends on my phone and
[2:51] telling them how to make the game with
[2:53] their computers and the only reason this
[2:55] worked and didn't feel like clickbait to
[2:56] my audience is because I followed it up
[2:58] with a super entertaining story and
[3:00] video but if this strategy doesn't end
[3:03] up working as well as you'd like then
[3:04] don't worry because I have four more
[3:06] strategies that I'm going to show you
[3:07] for coming up with viral video ideas
[3:09] which leads me on to number two the
[3:10] social hack social hacking involves
[3:12] creating an idea that capitalizes on
[3:14] familiarity and relevance even large
[3:17] Brands like Nike outside of YouTube use
[3:19] social hacking like when they partnered
[3:21] with Michael Jordan to create the Jordan
[3:22] shoe line and I'm going to show you how
[3:24] you can use this method as well but
[3:26] first take a look at George jenko's
[3:27] Channel you can see that his videos get
[3:29] 10 of thousands of views with the odd
[3:31] video getting a few million views and
[3:33] then bam he creates a video with Andrew
[3:35] Tate becoming his most popular video and
[3:37] gets over 12 million views the reason
[3:39] social hacking he knew that his core
[3:41] audience was in the range of 18 to
[3:43] 25-year-old men and what is this
[3:45] audience love Andrew Tate so he got in
[3:47] contact with his best friend Patrick f
[3:49] David asked him to connect with Andrew
[3:51] flew all the way out to Romania and then
[3:52] did a podcast with him he took on a ton
[3:54] of risk but it paid off because of the
[3:56] power of social hacking his audience was
[3:58] super familiar with Andrew so they
[4:00] clicked right away now the good news is
[4:01] that you don't even need to have
[4:02] somebody famous come onto your channel
[4:04] to utilize social hacking instead you
[4:06] can always just capitalize on stuff
[4:08] that's currently trending for example
[4:09] the game power world recently blew up so
[4:12] on our client's Channel we knew a video
[4:13] about it would probably do well however
[4:15] every single video about po World
[4:17] circulating YouTube at the time was
[4:19] talking about the game's controversies
[4:21] and we knew that if we didn't do
[4:22] something different we just get lost in
[4:24] the SE of video saying the exact same
[4:26] stuff over and over again and probably
[4:28] wouldn't get fused so we took a
[4:30] different approach and instead focused
[4:32] on PO world's marketing success and it
[4:34] became a 20x outlier on the channel
[4:36] pulling in over 20,000 views on a newish
[4:39] 300 sub Channel and speaking of outliers
[4:42] let's move on to number three the
[4:43] outlier method an outlier is a video
[4:46] that performs extremely well compared to
[4:48] everything else on a given Channel now a
[4:50] lot of outliers come as a result of luck
[4:52] but these days there are tools that
[4:54] specifically help you find outliers and
[4:56] I'm going to show you the one that I use
[4:57] every single day so first you'll want to
[4:59] find niches that are adjacent to yours
[5:01] meaning you share a very similar
[5:03] audience with them for example the
[5:04] Roblox Niche is very adjacent to the
[5:06] Minecraft Niche the female fashion Niche
[5:08] is adjacent to the male fashion Niche
[5:10] and the YouTube education Niche is
[5:12] actually adjacent to the finance Niche
[5:14] basically F niches with a very high
[5:16] audience overlap to yours then you'll
[5:18] want to use the tool one of 10 to search
[5:20] these niches for videos that are huge
[5:21] outliers and then adapt them to fit your
[5:23] Niche for example when generating ideas
[5:25] for this channel I search through the
[5:27] finance Niche because it has a very
[5:28] similar audience to the YouTube
[5:30] education Niche and found Alex horos
[5:32] video if I wanted to become a
[5:33] millionaire in 2024 this is what I would
[5:35] do full blueprint which was a pretty big
[5:38] outlier I then adapted it for my own
[5:40] channel and created the video the
[5:41] blueprint to blow up on YouTube in 2024
[5:44] and it got a one of 10 almost instantly
[5:46] one of 10 has also been kind enough to
[5:48] sponsor this video but I genuinely use
[5:50] this tool every single day to give
[5:51] myself fresh inspiration for video ideas
[5:53] on a plethora of different channels I'm
[5:55] working on and it's never let me down in
[5:57] fact it's literally the third tab in my
[5:59] bookmark marks bar for easy access and
[6:01] for good reason so if you want to use
[6:03] one of 10 like I do then click the link
[6:04] in the description below for a 20% off
[6:07] discount code next up is number four the
[6:09] research tab alongside recommendations a
[6:11] lot of viewers also find videos through
[6:13] YouTube search features and you can use
[6:15] that to your advantage with the research
[6:17] technique to use this technique you want
[6:19] to first go to YouTube Studio analytics
[6:21] and then click the research tab where
[6:22] you'll be able to see things that
[6:23] viewers of your channel are searching
[6:25] for when looking for a video in fact
[6:27] it'll also show you searches that had
[6:29] what YouTube calls content gap which are
[6:31] gaps in the market where there's high
[6:32] demand for a specific search term and
[6:34] not a lot of Supply or you know content
[6:36] to deliver on that search term so if
[6:38] you're ever stuck for a topic idea I
[6:39] suggest checking out the research tab on
[6:41] your channel and using a Content Gap
[6:43] search you already know people want it
[6:44] and that in turn will increase the
[6:46] chances of it going viral if again you
[6:48] follow it up with a banger video and
[6:50] finally number five is the
[6:52] recommendation station the
[6:53] recommendation station is the simplest
[6:55] of the five strategies to keep it simple
[6:57] here's a quick tutorial on how to do it
[6:59] first you want to download the one of 10
[7:00] Chrome extension using my link in the
[7:02] description below then you'll want to go
[7:04] to the YouTube recommendations page and
[7:05] the one of 10 Chrome extension will then
[7:07] give you the outlier scores on the side
[7:09] of each video once you find a video that
[7:11] is in a niche that's somewhat adjacent
[7:13] to yours you can then just repackage
[7:14] that video and then use it on your own
[7:16] channel very similar to how we do it
[7:18] with the one of 10 tool except it's so
[7:20] much easier and you can even do this
[7:21] while you're on a break watching YouTube
[7:23] or doing anything else anyway I hope you
[7:25] found this video useful and if I missed
[7:27] any of your favorite ways to come up
[7:28] with video ideas then just just comment
[7:30] them down below so that I can make
[7:31] another video like
