How to find story IDEAS... and never run out

Storytelling is one of the most powerful ways for you to connect with your audience. But what if you don’t know what stories to tell? What if you run out of ideas? Here’s a way to come up with stories for your content and NEVER run out of ideas.

I highly recommend Story Greenlight! Jeff breaks down story telling in a way that I can clearly understand and use to improve my videos.

I found this video because I want to learn how to write stories. I focused so much on what you were saying and showing and later realized you were demonstrating what you were just talking about. This is great. I have to see this again so I can really get what you were saying. I like you way of teaching.

You are the best YouTuber for me ! I love you man ! With your help I leveled up my storytelling and it is working ! I wish you all the best in the world !

This was a really good, quick video explaining the bare-bones basics of story-telling. I knew all of this, but hearing it broken down into a really high-level explanation just helped cement it all for me.

I like how you integrate storytelling with your how-to content! Taking notes over here!

Your storytelling history is phenomenal Jeff and this sounds like a great opportunity for us YouTube creators to better connect to our audience!

[NateLacroix]

This works WAY better than the one I was expecting... nicely done, Jeff!

I watched this after seeing Roberto’s post. I remember watching your videos a couple years ago and thought you had stepped away from YT. I’ve been focusing on better storytelling for the videos I create for kids. So I really need this! 😊

Interesting. My main reason to make videos has always been to try and most accurately preserve moments and memories because change is a part of life. The change is always internal and personal. Sharing my personal change as a story is a new perspective

[jftierdor]

beautifully crafted little stories!! loved that, it demonstrated that a story can be very simple, bordering trivial and seemingly "insignificant" and yet really compelling.

[lihtness]

Best idea ever. You have changed me now!

[RyanLawless]

I decided to rewatch this video because of Roberto Blake's recent shout-out to you and your channel. I'm glad I did.

This is such a valuable video...we love Omaha too!! We venture over there from Iowa City time to time! Congrats man!

[climberdad]

Teaching through speech and action. Fantastic, as always.

[EpicKate]

What a moving video! That part where you talked about making the decision to make a change- I felt that.

[ehJoe]

Change is a very good place to start, great advice Jeff, hope your enjoying Omaha my friend 👊

Is there a way to stop getting ideas? I have been keeping notes on full novel ideas I have been collecting over this year, i just finished writing my 2nd novel and started my 3rd, in the same time i have 30 well thought out ideas that could most likely support an entire novel each by them self.

How do you write sitcoms where there can’t be change because the status quo of the characters has to remain the same and reset for the beginning of the next episode?

[LowbuckLS]

So does this method work for how-to/automotive channels? I feel like I’d have a hard time figuring out what internal change or transformation is happening when I’m just showing someone how to troubleshoot or repair something on their vehicle...
