Here are a few low-effort videos you can film last minute.

Ask for questions on your Instagram story.

Q-and-As have been a popular video format practically since YouTube began. The idea is simple: your viewers submit questions, and you answer as many as you can on camera. Most often, creators used Twitter or video comments to collect question submissions.

You can spice up the Q-and-A format by asking for questions through a question sticker on your Instagram story. With this feature, your followers can submit questions anonymously. You can get more engagement by asking for questions within a specific category, such as “questions you think I normally wouldn’t answer” or “questions about my new relationship.”

Film a house tour or room tour.

A house tour is super easy to film because all you have to do is carry your camera through your home. Like a museum tour guide, you can talk about the decor in each room or fond memories you associate with them. Your viewers will love getting a peek into a side of your life they don’t usually get to see.

However, if you don’t want to film a tour of your entire house, you can get creative with a similar concept. You could do a room tour of your filming space or part of your house you recently renovated. You might even do a “tour of my fridge” to show your viewers what you eat in a week, or you could do a “bookshelf tour” to tell them what you’re reading.

House or room tours are especially interesting if your living arrangements are unique or novel in some way. 

Share a funny or relatable storytime.

Storytimes were incredibly popular several years ago. Prominent creators such as Tana Mongeau grew their channels by sitting in front of the camera and sharing stories from their lives as if they were talking to their friends. While the virality of this video format has since died down, many viewers are still interested in them.

To make a storytime, start by determining what experience from your life would be the most interesting to share. What’s the funniest thing that’s ever happened to you? What about the most unbelievable? What about the most unexplained, confusing, or paranormal? Choose a story that will have an emotional appeal. You might consider telling it to a friend or saying it out loud to yourself before filming it to ensure it will be entertaining enough for a video.

If you’re running out of time to make a video, consider filming a Q-and-A, a house tour, or a storytime. Share your own favourite low-effort video ideas in the comments!

Here’s what to do when you’re stuck for video ideas.

Check your recent comments and Twitter mentions for video requests.

Whenever a viewer is watching one of your videos, they might be inspired with a video idea of their own. Oftentimes, they’ll share their idea with you in the comments. If inspiration strikes them later, then they may share their idea with you on Twitter instead.

So, if you’re having trouble coming up with video ideas on your own, scroll through the recent comments on your channel. You can find all of them in one place by heading to the “Comments” tab in your YouTube Studio. Search for keywords like “video idea” or “request.”

Alternatively, you could do a similar search on Twitter. Be sure to include your handle so you’re only finding tweets fans have mentioned you in. If you use a fan’s idea, be sure to screenshot their comment or tweet so you can properly credit them in the video.

Challenge your creativity with a brainstorming exercise.

If you’re just staring at a blank page or screen, then coming up with new video ideas might seem impossible. However, you can get your creative juices flowing by using a brainstorming exercise. One of these exercises can help guide your thoughts so you can focus on letting your ideas flow freely.

To begin brainstorming, give yourself a place to start. You could write out a list of your most successful video titles, questions you’ve always wanted to know the answer to, or recent videos you’ve loved. Then, set a timer. Jot down as many ideas or concepts you can come up with in relation to your starting points before your time’s up.

Afterwards, go back through your list and pick the most promising ideas. If you want to go further, you can repeat the exercise using these ideas as starting points. Focus on generating ideas that are more specific and manageable.

Binge-watch your favorite creators for inspiration.

Oftentimes, creators turn to each other for inspiration. Go through your personal subscription feed and watch a few recent uploads from other creators you admire. Make note of any videos you’d like to emulate, especially if they have the potential to turn into viral trends.

Then, put your own twist on that creator’s idea. Adapt their concept to fit your content style and appeal to your audience. Additionally, be sure that you properly credit the original creator and link the video that inspired you in the description.

Schedule a break if you haven’t taken one in a while.

After trying all of the methods above, if you’re still stuck for ideas, then you may be on the verge of creative burnout. To prevent yourself from reaching total burnout, you might want to take a break. Skipping an upload will give you the chance to rest and refresh so you can come back the next week ready to give it your all again.

While taking a break is necessary for many creators, you may worry about how it will impact your channel’s place in the YouTube algorithm. However, it is possible to take a break without hurting your channel. The key is communication with your audience.

So, we hope that you’ve loved reading our blogs.
