[0:00] here's how to come up with viral video
[0:01] ideas and titles that blow up your
[0:03] channel just like I did with my first
[0:04] video as well as countless others first
[0:06] you'll need to figure out your Channel's
[0:07] Niche which honestly should be really
[0:09] easy for example this channel like my
[0:11] channel is in the niche of YouTube
[0:12] education because every single video on
[0:15] the channel is about educating aspiring
[0:16] YouTubers in contrast this channel is
[0:19] the niche of game development because
[0:20] every single video on the channel is
[0:22] about creating video games the key in
[0:24] both of these scenarios is that a
[0:25] channel has a defined Niche when
[0:27] virtually every single video is about
[0:29] the same thing which is important
[0:30] because it's really difficult to go
[0:32] viral if your content is subscriber base
[0:34] lie in a bunch of different niches
[0:36] regardless of how good your video ideas
[0:37] are on a side note if you're interested
[0:39] in videos like mine that teach you how
[0:40] to grow on YouTube you'll probably be
[0:41] interested in that first Channel's
[0:43] content and if you're interested in
[0:44] coding and video game creation you'll
[0:46] probably want to check out the second
[0:47] Channel but anyway if your channel
[0:48] doesn't have a clearly defined Niche
[0:50] pick one and stick to it for every
[0:52] single upload going forward eventually
[0:54] the videos and subscribers on your
[0:55] channel that aren't in said Niche will
[0:57] lose their influence on your new videos
[0:58] as performance if you've got a of other
[1:00] videos nullifying their impact basically
[1:02] if your channel doesn't have a niche now
[1:04] it eventually will if you just continue
[1:05] to stick to that Niche for your future
[1:07] uploads once you've figured out your
[1:08] Channel's Niche you'll be able to use
[1:10] these four methods that I'll be
[1:11] outlining next to generate viral video
[1:13] ideas that will blow up your channel
[1:14] method number one involves you coming up
[1:16] with ideas interviews that are almost
[1:18] too good to be true in the case of my
[1:20] Game Dev Channel which I made before the
[1:21] one that you're watching right now I
[1:23] made a game in one line of code I made a
[1:25] game engine in seven days and I made a
[1:27] video game with no computer are all
[1:28] Concepts that seem pretty much
[1:30] impossible or at the very least really
[1:32] impressive because for example if you're
[1:33] looking at the first title thinks wow
[1:35] how does he make a game with only one
[1:37] line of code the idea is to get the
[1:39] viewer questioning how exactly you
[1:40] accomplish what you're promising the
[1:42] title on the channel of mine that you're
[1:43] watching right now how I monetize my
[1:45] channel in 30 days falls under this
[1:47] bubble as well because it's likely that
[1:49] my viewer is interested in growing on
[1:51] YouTube are curious how I monetize my
[1:53] channel in such a short time now I want
[1:55] you to grab some paper ink in a
[1:56] typewriter because we're going to use
[1:58] this method to generate some video
[1:59] Concepts right now now without worrying
[2:01] about your realistic capability to make
[2:03] them think of 20 to 30 absolutely
[2:05] impossible impressive or absurd claims a
[2:07] video in your Niche could make some
[2:09] examples from my channel might be how to
[2:11] easily get 1 million subscribers on
[2:13] YouTube how to make a hundred thousand
[2:14] dollars a month with YouTube Automation
[2:16] and how to get 90 retention on your
[2:19] YouTube videos get creative within the
[2:20] limits of your Niche don't even worry
[2:22] about whether these videos could
[2:23] actually get created or not then once
[2:24] you've got a list of Concepts now you're
[2:26] going to write down exactly how you'd
[2:28] accomplish each one and I guarantee you
[2:29] you can get creative to accomplish
[2:31] almost everything on your list obviously
[2:33] start by knocking out the video Concepts
[2:35] that you can just literally do like for
[2:37] example a concept like how I became a
[2:39] professional video editor I could
[2:41] definitely do as I've personally
[2:42] accomplished that myself basically just
[2:45] cross out stuff you can do without lying
[2:46] then move on to Concepts that you could
[2:48] do with a bit of help for example if you
[2:50] run a channel like mine and have a
[2:51] concept like how to easily get 1 million
[2:53] views on YouTube but haven't actually
[2:55] done it yourself yet maybe in the video
[2:57] you'll just interview a successful
[2:58] YouTuber who actually has gotten a
[3:00] million views and she'll actually be
[3:02] able to make an honest video that
[3:03] entertains educates or does whatever you
[3:05] want to your viewers if you run a
[3:07] lifestyle and Vlogs Channel about
[3:08] traveling then maybe you'll change a
[3:10] concept like I travel to all seven
[3:12] continents in one week which is honestly
[3:14] probably impossible to we travel to all
[3:17] seven continents in one week and just
[3:18] have you and your friends on separate
[3:19] paths traveling to different continents
[3:21] at the same time so that once again the
[3:23] video is actually honest and can
[3:24] entertain educate you know whatever the
[3:26] sky's the limit just the goal with a
[3:28] strategy like this is to always make
[3:30] sure you have an honest video but that
[3:31] doesn't mean you can't straddle the line
[3:33] if you know what I mean for example with
[3:35] my video I made a game in one line of
[3:37] code on my gamedev channel I end up
[3:39] technically making a game in one line of
[3:41] code however it's literally just a
[3:43] hundred lines of code stuffed into a
[3:44] single Row in my text editor I did the
[3:46] same with I made a video game with no
[3:48] computer as in the video I technically
[3:49] didn't use my computer but instead just
[3:52] called my friends on the phone and
[3:53] walked them through how to make a game
[3:54] step by step using their computers the
[3:56] key here is that I at least partially
[3:58] delivered on the promises that I made
[3:59] with my my titles and made up for the
[4:01] part that I didn't deliver on with an
[4:03] absolute Banger video If you decide to
[4:05] use this strategy and your titles rely
[4:07] on small technicalities like these two
[4:09] examples do then you also need to follow
[4:11] it up with a really good video that
[4:12] makes viewers not really care that they
[4:14] got a tiny bit clickbait if you follow a
[4:16] banger title and video concept with a
[4:18] video then viewers end up leaving
[4:20] negative feedback that hurt your channel
[4:22] because once again like I said they feel
[4:24] clickbaited which you really want to
[4:25] avoid as much as possible method number
[4:28] two is research and I know this is an
[4:30] obvious one but stick with me because
[4:31] you probably aren't going about it the
[4:33] right way researching viral video topics
[4:35] can be done two different ways the first
[4:36] is the researching trending topics
[4:38] appropriately called Trend Jackie to
[4:40] generate ideas that blow up in the short
[4:42] term an example of this is in 2020 when
[4:44] creators that make content about the
[4:46] video game Among Us were able to easily
[4:48] bring in millions of views which was
[4:50] obviously great at the time however this
[4:51] success was limited to the time frame in
[4:53] which Among Us was popular and the same
[4:55] video is being posted in 2023 get a lot
[4:58] less views than they did just three
[4:59] years earlier because obviously the game
[5:01] isn't as popular despite these sometimes
[5:03] short-term success of trend jacked
[5:05] videos if you can consistently create
[5:07] content on trending topics in your Niche
[5:09] it's not really going to matter because
[5:11] your channel will still be bringing in
[5:12] consistent views but how does one
[5:14] actually find Trends to create videos on
[5:16] the most simple and straightforward way
[5:17] is to go to the trending tab or any of
[5:19] these other subcategories in the explore
[5:21] sidebar on the YouTube homepage the
[5:23] trending tab is great in the sense that
[5:25] it's got videos from every single Niche
[5:27] about topics that are well trending and
[5:29] the other subcategories in that same
[5:31] sidebar do the same thing with just more
[5:33] specific niches like sports fashion and
[5:35] more all of which you can take ideas
[5:37] from for example there are a few videos
[5:39] about the Teemu app that are currently
[5:41] trending in the trending tab signaling
[5:43] to us as creators that content about
[5:45] Teemu will probably do well as long as
[5:47] of course it aligns with our Channel's
[5:49] Niche however maybe your Niche is a
[5:51] little more specific than these popular
[5:52] ones and you also can't find topics that
[5:54] align with your niche in the trending
[5:56] tab which leads us to Google Trends
[5:58] Google Trends is a website that allows
[5:59] to find the amount of search traffic
[6:01] associated with a given keyword on
[6:03] Google regardless of its current
[6:05] popularity this is helpful because High
[6:07] search traffic for a keyword on Google
[6:08] is usually representative of its chance
[6:10] for virality on YouTube as there's
[6:12] likely a big audience for it for example
[6:14] at the time of recording Olivia Rodrigo
[6:16] is currently trending on Google search
[6:18] due to buzz around her new album
[6:19] releasing suit meaning if it aligns with
[6:22] your Niche a video on Olivia Rodrigo
[6:24] will probably do well there's even a tab
[6:25] called trending now that's really
[6:27] similar to the trending tab on YouTube
[6:29] but once again you still might not be
[6:31] able to find potential video topics that
[6:33] align with your Channel's Niche using
[6:34] this method luckily YouTube has you
[6:36] covered if you hop into YouTube Studio
[6:37] there's a tab in your analytics called
[6:39] research this tab literally shows you
[6:41] the exact Search terms and keywords that
[6:43] are trending on YouTube at the moment
[6:45] and even takes it a step further to show
[6:47] you the keywords that your personal
[6:48] audience is interested in I've
[6:50] personally used this strategy a ton and
[6:52] you can even see this in my first video
[6:54] where a YouTube Studio passive income
[6:56] and YouTube automation are really high
[6:58] traffic Search terms with my audience
[6:59] and on YouTube in general which as you
[7:01] can see correlates to this really really
[7:03] high view count on my first video
[7:04] obviously when you're first starting out
[7:06] you won't really have an audience so
[7:08] YouTube Studio won't be able to tell you
[7:09] what Search terms your audience is
[7:11] interested in however as this tool also
[7:13] allows you to search for General Trends
[7:14] on YouTube it's still so useful for any
[7:17] Creator method number three is using AI
[7:19] but I don't just mean asking chat GPT
[7:21] for ideas because chat gbt Believe It or
[7:24] Not doesn't know everything and when it
[7:25] comes to YouTube I found it's really not
[7:27] good at coming up with Banger video
[7:29] ideas this is because chat GPT doesn't
[7:31] have access to the internet or YouTube's
[7:33] data but there's a tool that actually
[7:34] I've been using throughout my entire
[7:36] YouTube Journey that does have access to
[7:38] all of YouTube's data I'm talking about
[7:39] that IQ who also sponsored this video
[7:41] then iq's boost plan which you can get
[7:43] for a dollar using my link in the
[7:45] description comes with a gpt4 powered AI
[7:47] chat bot trained on YouTube's data as
[7:49] well as your own channels data that I
[7:51] found to be super useful when coming up
[7:53] with viral video Concepts in fact these
[7:55] high performing videos on my channel
[7:57] were literally suggested to me by the AI
[7:59] before I
[8:00] to make that IQ boost also gives you 50
[8:02] personalized video ideas every single
[8:04] day that once again I've also used on my
[8:07] channel and like I said if you use my
[8:08] special link in the description you can
[8:09] even get your first month of vid IQ
[8:11] boost for only a dollar so go check it
[8:13] out method number four is using other
[8:14] people for an educational Channel like
[8:16] mine my comment section is literally an
[8:18] infinite supply of video ideas ever
[8:20] since my first video I've gotten
[8:21] comments asking me to make content about
[8:23] how I edit my YouTube videos and when I
[8:25] finally caved and made a video about
[8:27] editing it popped like crazy this
[8:29] doesn't just apply to educational
[8:30] channels either but when looking to come
[8:32] up with original Concepts family and
[8:34] friends are great sources to ask people
[8:36] you know that watch content similar to
[8:37] yours or even just watch a lot of
[8:39] YouTube in general are gonna be your
[8:40] best subjects especially if these people
[8:42] have tried or are currently doing
[8:43] YouTube and know a bit about how the
[8:45] platform Works obviously most of your
[8:47] family and friends even if they have
[8:49] tried YouTube before aren't going to be
[8:51] the most informed so take their opinions
[8:53] with a grain of salt but it doesn't hurt
[8:55] to really just you know keep them there
[8:56] for consideration in addition to
[8:58] non-youtube experts I recently tried
[8:59] hiring idea man Alpha Fiverr for my
[9:02] video on automating a fresh YouTube
[9:03] channel using Fiverr and it ended up
[9:05] actually being a really good purchase I
[9:06] paid her 10 and she managed to do
[9:08] research for me and come up with 10
[9:10] different video Concepts in a niche that
[9:12] she also found that were bound to get
[9:14] views with really low competition could
[9:16] I have done this myself probably but ten
[9:18] dollars really isn't that much and she
[9:20] probably came up with some stuff that I
[9:21] would have overlooked had I been trying
[9:23] to find some viral Concepts in the men's
[9:24] gadgets Niche which the channel is based
[9:27] around so I felt like it was a good
[9:28] investment in general with any and all
[9:30] Concepts that you come up with put
[9:31] yourself in the shoes of your target
[9:33] audience and really ask yourself if
[9:35] they'll enjoy each video then once
[9:36] you've figured that out go through each
[9:38] of your remaining Concepts and think of
[9:40] an idea for a thumbnail and title that
[9:42] associated with the concept because some
[9:44] video ideas you have may be entertaining
[9:46] or educational or whatever but won't
[9:48] perform well if you can't package them
[9:50] in a way that's appealing to your
[9:51] audience in regards to a video's title a
[9:53] good video title does a few things first
[9:55] off it makes sense and describes the
[9:57] video well in the context of your
[9:58] video's thumbnail but that's pretty
[10:00] obvious packaging your video meaning
[10:01] your video's title and thumbnail combo
[10:03] is really all about keeping it simple
[10:05] and digestible for your viewers keep
[10:07] your titles under 40 characters if
[10:08] possible and if you really can't keep it
[10:10] under 40 characters just make sure that
[10:12] it at least completely shows up on the
[10:14] YouTube homepage and doesn't overflow
[10:16] like this you want your titles to be as
[10:18] readable as possible and to test this
[10:19] you can always just inspect element the
[10:21] YouTube homepage in your browser of
[10:22] choice or use a thumbnail preview tool
[10:25] like would you dot click which I
[10:26] personally once again Simplicity is key
[10:29] so cut out the fluff and leave
[10:31] unnecessary things like for example your
[10:33] channel name or something like must
[10:34] watch not clickbait out of your video
[10:37] titles remember that even after you post
[10:39] your video you can still change its
[10:40] title so don't stress if you're stuck
[10:42] between a few for a certain video now
[10:44] that you've got a bunch of titles though
[10:45] like I mentioned earlier you're gonna
[10:46] need some really good thumbnails to go
[10:48] along with them because a good title is
[10:50] nothing without a thumbnail to provide
[10:52] context and vice versa so if you want to
[10:54] learn how to do that go watch my video
[10:56] on making clickable YouTube thumbnails
[10:57] next and if you're wanting to blow up
[10:59] your channel really fast like I did with
[11:00] mine then hit me up on Discord Twitter
[11:02] Instagram whatever and you can book a
[11:04] paid Consulting call with me peace
