How to find YouTube video ideas your channel hasn't covered
Compare what your channel already covers with the topics rising in your niche right now. Topics that are rising but missing from your recent titles are your gap, and they make the strongest next video ideas. You can do it by hand in five steps, or paste your channel at inctryit.com/en for a free, no-sign-up gap preview.
Step by step
- List what you already cover — Write down the main topic words from your last 20 to 30 upload titles. Words that appear in almost every title describe your channel itself, so set them aside and keep the specific topics.
- Check what is rising in your niche now — Open the popular videos for your audience's country, for example the United States or Japan page, and the Shorts and Reels trends. Note the topics that keep showing up in videos posted in the last few days.
- Find the gap — Cross out every rising topic you already covered. What is left, rising now and missing from your titles, is your gap. Keep the ones that fit your channel and that you can make well.
- Check demand before you film — For each gap topic, look at views per day rather than total views, and at channels near your size that got far more views than subscribers. Fast views on small channels mean viewers want the topic, not just the channel.
- Title it and test within 48 hours — Put the gap topic in the first words of the title and thumbnail text. Compare its first 48 hours with your recent average; if it beats it, make the next related topic from the same gap list.
Why the gap works
Your subscribers have already seen what you made. A topic that is rising across your niche but missing from your channel brings in viewers who are searching for it right now, and it is new to the viewers you already have.
