Ten videos you could film this week

Start with the questions people already ask you, then borrow formats that work in your niche and fill them with your own material. The other reliable source is your own back catalogue: find the video people watched all the way through and make the next version of it. Staring at a blank page is the slow way to do this.

Something you would still be making at video ten with almost no views. Pick a subject narrow enough that a stranger could describe your channel in one sentence. How I did this and what I got wrong are easier to make well early on than broad commentary, and they pull in the exact people who share the problem you just solved.

A pace you can hold for six months beats any specific number. Weekly is a common floor because it gives you more attempts and faster feedback, not because YouTube rewards the frequency itself. Uploading more often does not rank you higher on its own — it mostly buys you more chances to learn what your audience responds to.

Look for videos that beat their own channel's average, not videos with big view counts. A video pulling many times the views that channel normally gets is telling you the topic or the framing worked, while a large channel's ordinary video tells you only that the channel is large. Comments, search autocomplete, and the questions under other creators' videos fill in the rest.

They are good at formats and at covering angles you would not have listed, and weak on their own at knowing what is working in your niche this month — a model only sees the sentence you typed. That is the gap this page closes: under the ten ideas it queries YouTube with the same topic and shows the videos actually published on it in the last 30 days, with view counts and links. Read the ideas for angles, then use the real videos to decide which one is worth a week of your time.

A trend can bring a spike, but it only compounds if the topic is one your channel is already about. Chasing trends outside your subject tends to bring viewers who never come back, which leaves you with a bump in the chart and no additional audience.

Screen recordings, tutorials, top-ten breakdowns, data stories, gameplay, ambient and process videos, and voiceover essays all work faceless — whole large channels run on each of them. The niche matters more than the format: pick a subject where the information is the star, then type that niche above with the word faceless in it and the ideas come back shaped for it.

Type the topic into the generator above. Along with the ten ideas you get a second list built from the same line: real YouTube videos published on that topic in the last 30 days, ordered by views, each with a link you can open. No handle, no sign-in and no second form. Two things to keep in mind when you read it — it is a sample of what is public rather than a platform-wide ranking, and a format that repeats across several of those videos tells you more than any single video's view count.

Yes, it's free with no signup. Each run returns ten ideas, plus the real videos published on the same topic in the last 30 days.
