Advice when you have no ideas?

I Love YTtalk
I hate that I don't like missing upload days, but I also don't want to put bad content on my channel. What do you do when you don't have ideas?
 
Browse around youtube for hours on end getting some inspiration :)
Actually sometimes when i don't even think about it too much that's when I get an idea haha
 
Sometimes tag videos are great for this reason, but try to put some sort of twist on them to keep it more interesting.
 
Read a lot of creativity articles on Google and such to get a lot of good advice from writers and comedians and such, but the number one tip I can give you is just sit down and start writing, write anything at all like what you did that day or what you say on tv or anything. Like really it sounds stupid but when you do it'll get your creative juices flowing and I almost always come up with at least one idea every 15 minutes and if you do this for an hour throughout the day you'll have at least one good idea and one decent idea.

Now you have a good idea great, do it again the next day and you'll get a few great ideas in this process. And for those decent ideas go back and look at them later, they typically are a foundation for a better idea to build upon

Creativity articles... never thought of that. Good suggestion!!
 
To prevent this from happening, I have a list that I add to whenever I think of an idea (doesn't matter whether I think it's a good idea or not). Then, when don't know what to make a video about, I look through my list and pick the one I most want to do.
 
Story of my life! It takes more for ever to put out new videos because I can't think of a good enough topic.

I wish that part was a lot easier.
 
I tend to look up things like "Good things to talk about" "21 questions" "good questions to get to know someone" "taboo topics" "topic ideas to talk about".

And, of course the search results are no way near video related...but thats where you gotta put your own personal twist on!
I just use the basic ground of them results to expand from and create a video in order to not miss a day but still have a not too bad video out there xD
