Introduction:
Today I’m going to show you little-known ways to find GREAT content ideas. So if you want to come up with content topic ideas for blog posts, YouTube videos and podcasts, this list is for you.
Use Google Image Tags
Here’s how this strategy works
First, type a broad topic idea into Google Images.
Then, take a look at the tags that Google suggests:
These tags are terms that Google considers VERY closely related to what you just typed in.
So all you need to do is combine the tag with the keyword that you searched for. For example, take the term “Paleo Diet”. You can use Google Image tags to come up with topics like “Paleo diet meal plan”, “Paleo Diet breakfast” and more.
Here you will get so many good ideas for you to create good topics as well as summary & many more for your respective projects:
For e.g

The Reddit Keyword Research Tool:
This little tool is quickly becoming one of my favorite ways to find new content ideas. That’s because, unlike most keyword research tools, The Reddit Keyword Research Tool doesn’t take a seed keyword and spit out a bunch of suggestions.
Instead, this tool shows you hot topics that people are talking about on Reddit. All you need to do is pop a subreddit into the tool.
And you’ll get a list of keywords that people are talking about on that specific subreddit.
The Exploding Topics Tool
One of the best ways to find content topic ideas is to focus on NEW topics.
Why? It’s simple:
New topics aren’t super competitive (yet).
So when you’re the first to create a post on something new, you get a HUGE “first-mover advantage”.
The question is:
How do you consistently find new topics?
Exploding Topics
Exploding Topics is a free tool that scans the web for topics that are getting more and more popular.
And if you want to find topics for your specific niche, you can sort the list of topics by categories, like tech, fitness and more.
Pinterest Suggest
Google isn’t the only search engine with a suggested search feature. In fact, Pinterest is a completely untapped source of suggested keyword ideas. Pinterest Suggest works exactly the same way as Google Suggest. Type in a keyword… and get a list of suggestions.
But the cool thing about using Pinterest is that you’ll get a completely different set of content ideas than you’d get from Google.
Competitor’s YouTube Channels
This technique couldn’t be easier.
First, head over to a competitor’s YouTube channel. Then, sort their videos by “Most popular”. And you’ll see their all-time best videos in terms of views. I recommend heading over to a few competitor’s channels to see what’s doing well for them. As an example, if you’re in the fitness space, the Fitness Blender channel would be a great channel to keep an eye on. You can either sort by their most popular all-time videos.
Or just take a look at what topics have been working best for them over the last few months.
Obviously, this strategy works best for finding topics for YouTube videos. But you can also use it to come up with topic ideas for blog posts, infographics, podcasts… or any other type of content that you create.
