Don't forget haters, they come up with ideas, their hate comment, that they left, you can flip into a positive for some great content.

GREAT TIPS! Thanks Nick. This is one of my favourites channels

1:29 hahaha poor birds :P
I get my ideas from Pinterest, Instagram, going out for a walk or driving AND while in the shower. The shower and just doing your morning rituals you're mind gets a chance to wander off without being asked to, and I get lots of ideas that way as well.

I’m going back to your old videos and there are so helpful, thanks Nick

The magazine rack is a great idea. It reminds us to apply a fresh approach to videos.

[thenerdyfishgirl]

Great ideas, I never would have thought to check magazines :)

[Woodworks]

Good information! Thank you for sharing.

"And we're starting Right Now." I need a catchphrase😅😂

Awesome tip with the comments section! BAM! Even better, the message that’s inside of you. Love that bud.

Hey Nick, hopefully you or Brian G can figure this one out. I have been using your methods and they are working great. But I have a Question? OK i made Jeep Wrangler video that went crazy it has 7k views in a week with watch time around 3:30. We will call this video #1. So i wanted to use Brians G's double down method so I created another video about the jeep but more in depth on a specific subject that was in the previous video. We will call this video #2. I figured I would kill it. Spent my time and made a "HERO" video I felt it was my best video I created yet. My issue is it is stale maybe 2 to 3 hits per hr. I was expecting alot more. Could it be that in Video #1 I have video #2 as a card round 45 seconds in where viewers start to drop off. also I have video #2 in the end screen of video #1. So the big question im really getting at here is, will a video in cards or end screen keep it from being in suggested? I would rather it be in suggested than on cards or end screen. Thanks Brandon (einother View) ps. pronounced another view😀 you an Brian are the men!!

What's funny about using the youtube search bar to look for popular topics is that if you type "ho" then "how to make slime" always comes up. I've been seeing this since 2016 lol

[TressasSouthernHomeCooking]

I always use magazines and cookbooks for new ideas! Thanks Nick

[Eugenpopa]

Rocking it as always dude! Keept it up!

[cristtino]

What is the best perfect time for uploading a video? 😕

[charlieshooter]

I'm a pretty small How To Channel and I love that first idea. That's how I might decide on my next video!

[CreativeQueenx]

Window- shopping or watching any advert gives me great ideas....or just from my imagination.

[NotSoNerdyNerd]

Thank you for this video! Having a lack of ideas is one of my struggles with my channel. Some advice that was given to me was to pay more attention to when an idea/thought hits and run with it. If I don't have the opportunity to drop and make the video, I'm sure to write it down or put the idea in my phone. Just make sure you go back and follow through!! I was too worried about sitting down at a certain time each day and having to "be creative" and that just wasn't working. Too much pressure. Instead, be more aware and go with the flow!

[BrickTsar]

Never thought if the magazine rack idea. I get so many ideas from viewers that I cannot use lack of ideas as an excuse. Some of the best videos came from topics or suggestions from viewers

[MyOldSled]

Actually I think one of the most important ones you mentioned is your comments section. Engaging with your subscribers is one of the most important things you can do.

[TechJungle]

Thanks Nick for these tips! I think coming up with new content is easy if you come up with a "topic tree" that you can branch out new ideas from one main idea. I think you may have said this in a previous video.
