IDEAS/BEING ORIGINAL

Well, for me most cool ideas happen to come when I'm not trying to think of them. Basically don't try to actively come up with an idea for your YouTube channel, just go about your day normally and remember about it once in a while. Eventually, you're going to randomly think of a cool idea while doing something else.

what type of youtube channel do you want to do?

i'm not sure what you mean by "ideas"

do you want to start a cooking channel that focuses on how to make delicious chocolate swans?

or do you want to make a channel talking about your interpretation of video game story-lines?

alot of whats in the world has been done before. there really are only a few revolutionary concepts in the entirety of human existence. the wheel, fire, discovering electricity, the capacitor. i mean look at the ferrari, it's essentially the concept of a wheel with a platform on top of it. someone saw the wheel, expanded on that idea, and made a ferrari.

obviously i've dumbed this down quite a bit, but the point im making is that you don't need an original idea, you just need to improve an existing one. im sure you've seen prank videos, but im sure you've never seen a prank channel dedicated towards pranking aborigines/native peoples.

the best place to start is by taking something you already enjoy, and roll wiht it

Thank you, guys.
This seems really helpful to me.
I want to create a video game channel because it is my main passion and I know a whole lot more about the topic than 99% of YouTubers who started making channels about games since they became popular to milk them.
So yeah, I'll play with that idea, to modify something that exists already.

Anyone else, feel free to post your recommendations too.
Thanks in advance.
