Whether you’re just starting out as a video creator or you’ve been an active YouTuber for a while, having enough good ideas to post videos regularly can be a challenge. While you can always do some simple brainstorming, this often isn’t very effective if you’re feeling blocked.

In this article I want to show you a 3-part process that you can use to generate dozens or even hundreds of ideas anytime you need them.

Introducing The Ultimate YouTube Tool Guide: For the last three weeks I’ve been putting together a list of more than 35 tools and resources for YouTubers and video creators to compile them into an ebook for you to download.

These tools come from many different areas help you

• create better designs for your channel and videos
• analyze your (and your competitor’s) YouTube channel to find out what’s working and what isn’t
• discover free music and sound effects that fit your project
• find collaboration partners and YouTube communities
• promote your videos on social media – in an organized way

I also added a small list of the most professional free screen capture software and video editing suites.

40 pages!

This isn’t a cheap 2-page word-document-turned-PDF-file. All in all, I put together 40 pages to not only offer a list, but also to describe the tools so you know if they’re relevant for you. I even let you know which tools I recommend especially.

When I started doing YouTube I expected a slow but linear growth of my channel. My idea was to put out a lot of videos to build a big subscriber base. The more subscribers I’d have, the more they would help me to promote my videos.

Based on my observations of other people’s channels, I would probably need at least 200 videos to get to 60,000 views/month (with each video getting 300 views per month) and I was willing to put in that work. Fast forward a year later and my channel gets about 100,000 views/month. That is about 166% more than I was hoping for and 500% of what I’d had. Did it take me 200+ videos to get there? Not exactly. How many did it take? 6.

How come my estimate was off by so much?
