If you’ve already decided on making a YouTube channel, there are millions of content ideas you can pursue. Like literally anything you can think of, you can put it on YouTube as long as it doesn’t violate its community guidelines such as nudity, etc.
YouTube has grown into a massive video platform since it was created in 2005 by Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim. It was acquired by Google in 2006 for $1.65 billion. Now YouTube is estimated to have a value of up to $160 billion. According to InVideo, there are more than 2 billion users who tune in every month to YouTube and watch around 5 billion videos every day. The market may be saturated but it is this big so you’d surely find your niche and grow an audience if you just start putting out content now.
But with how big the YouTube world is and with almost every idea already shown, what else can you bring to the table? Even if a theme or topic has already been used, no one is entitled to be using it on their own. You can always give your own spin to an already overused theme or topic. If you think you can’t be different anymore, just look at yourself in the mirror and know that no one, out of 7.753 billion people in the world, is exactly like you. You have your own life experiences and your own family and friends that are different from others in their own circles. Your content may be inspired by others but would always have a touch from ideas that are unique to your own personality and life experiences.
So below we listed down content topics or themes that you can explore:
1. Music
If you are a music fan, why not start by making covers of famous songs? You can buy your own microphone and start recording from home. If you can’t sing but play an instrument, you can post those covers too. If you can do both—then great—showcase your skills! You can also share songwriting tips for aspiring songwriters to follow. If you produce your own music, you can share with your viewers how you produce professional-sounding records right at home.
For all your equipment to look organized on camera and off of it, you might want to consider investing in a studio standing desk.
Studio Standing Desk ESD101
Price: $899.99
This desk is an all-around studio companion that will give you an organized area for all of your production equipment. The desk features an 88 keyboard tray and a spacious working surface with a 6U rack space (for the amplifier and equalizer) and a large top shelf (for two display monitors and speaker monitors). It also comes with a programmable controller that allows you to shift from sitting to standing while making your own music. Moreover, it has an enhanced anti-collision feature that ensures that all your expensive and heavy equipment are all safe during movement of the desk. You can also use it as a gaming desk, a DJ table, or a podcast desk when you’re not making music.
2. Fashion
Gone are the good old days of blogging for fashion enthusiasts. More people prefer consuming video content nowadays so they’ve shifted from reading blog entries and looking at pictures to watching haul, try-on, unboxing, and styling videos of their favorite influencers. You can talk about trends in your fashion channel or feature people who are stylish. You may interview designers and seamstresses or artists and writers in the industry to talk about fashion and their personal aesthetics. You may share how you style yourself on different occasions or if you’re into sustainable fashion, you can share your personal practices on how you manage to be fashionable and sustainable at the same time. If you know how to sew, you can share tips on how you do it, where to find the right materials, how to do sketching and patternmaking, and finishing the actual product. A sewing table would look good on camera and will also organize your items in real life.
Height Adjustable Sewing Table
Price: $429.99
This desk from FlexiSpot has a height programmable control panel that’s easy to adjust the table’s height, making it open to be used by people on your staff once you get to hire someone.
Its sewing platform may be adjusted separately and it comes with a knob that allows the user to lower or raise the workbench up or down five steps. Its weight capacity is up to 26 pounds, just enough to carry the weight of an average electric sewing machine.
The workspace is also very spacious because aside from the sewing machine platform, you could add a detachable side table that measures 9” by 24,” adding to the already 43” by 24” table where the sewing platform is attached.
No more worrying about scratching or staining the desk frame thanks to the high-grade steel it’s made of. It’s guaranteed stable even at the highest adjustment point and because of its two-state legs, smooth and fluid-like transitions can be expected throughout the day.
3. Gaming
If you’re familiar with PewDiePie, you are probably in the know about the gaming content on YouTube. The Swedish gaming content creator rose to stardom and now has 111 million subscribers. If you enjoy gaming and want to make a living out of it, why not consider streaming or sharing content that is related to gaming. You can share some strategies, news, trends, tools and gadgets, and even breakdown games.
To make your gaming setup handsome in your YouTube vlog, you can spruce it up with a gaming desk and a gaming chair.
