You've been staring at that blank page for 45 minutes.
You know you need to post. You want to post. But every idea that floats up either feels overdone, too risky, or just plain boring.
That's not a creativity problem. That's a system problem.
The creators who always seem to have something to say aren't more creative than you — they have a better idea-generation process. Below is a comprehensive bank of 150+ YouTube video ideas organised by niche and content type. Bookmark it. Come back to it whenever the blank-page feeling hits.
And if you want ideas generated specifically for your channel and audience — Creedom analyses your existing content and tells you exactly which topics are most likely to perform well for you. But first, the list.
Don't try to post every idea. Pick ideas that:
Align with what your audience is already asking you
Target keywords with real search volume in your niche
Match the production capacity you can actually sustain right now
A mediocre idea executed consistently beats a brilliant idea left in a draft.

Beyond specific ideas, these are the formats that generate consistent views across every niche — because they tap into how people naturally watch YouTube:
"I tried X for Y days" — Time-bounded experiments are inherently watchable because viewers want to see the result. The format creates instant narrative tension.
Honest reviews — The internet is drowning in sponsored content. A genuinely honest, detailed review is rare — and it gets shared, bookmarked, and trusted.
Myth-busting — Every niche has conventional wisdom that's wrong. Challenge it with evidence and you'll attract both people who agree and people who want to argue. Both boost the algorithm.
Day-in-the-life videos — Audiences are voyeuristic. Show them what your life actually looks like, not the highlight reel version.
Case studies and breakdowns — "How they did it" videos deliver a clear promise upfront — and people watch to the end because they want the answer. High retention. High watch time. The algorithm loves it.
The real problem isn't a shortage of ideas. It's a shortage of a system for generating them.
Here are three systems that actually work:
1. Comment Mining. Your existing comments are a goldmine. Every question your viewers ask is a potential video. Read every comment. Keep a running list of questions that appear more than once — those are your best video ideas.
2. Competitor Gap Analysis. Find your 5 closest competitors. Find their 10 most popular videos. Read the comments on those videos. Look for the questions nobody answered in the video itself — that's your content gap, and it's wide open.
3. Data-Backed Ideation. Creedom's content ideas feature analyses your channel, your audience behaviour, and your niche to generate ideas calibrated specifically to what your viewers already love. It's not a generic list. It's personal to your channel.
How do I find YouTube video ideas in my niche? Start with comment mining — read your existing comments and competitor comments for unanswered questions. Use Google's "People Also Ask" section for your niche keywords. And use tools like Creedom to generate data-backed ideas based on your actual channel performance.
How often should I post on YouTube in 2026? Consistently beats frequently every time. One strong video per week outperforms three rushed ones. Start with a pace you can genuinely sustain, build a production system around it, then scale up.
What type of YouTube videos get the most views? How-to guides, honest reviews, experiments, and personal story videos consistently perform across niches. The common thread: a specific, clear promise in the title that the video actually delivers on.
How do I come up with original YouTube ideas? True originality is rare — and it's not always what the algorithm rewards. A fresh angle on a proven topic beats an original idea with no search demand. Take something that's already working and make it more specific, more personal, or more honest.
Should I follow YouTube trends or focus on evergreen content? Both. Trending content gives you traffic spikes. Evergreen content gives you consistent long-term views. A healthy content strategy includes both — roughly 70% evergreen, 30% trend-responsive.
You don't have an idea problem. You have a system problem.
Build the system — whether that's a running idea doc, a comment-mining habit, or a tool like Creedom — and the ideas stop drying up.
