Video Topic Ideas
X Years Ago, I was (insert lost, worrisome, stressful situation).
The best advice I ever got
Stop doing X right now Ideally pick something paradoxical or that runs against common knowledge
The #1 thing (insert type of person) gets wrong
Example: The #1 thing SEO Managers Get Wrong
The #1 (insert topic) mistake Example from Ahmad: “The #1 pricing mistake”)
What your (insert person) isn’t telling you Example: What your accountant isn’t telling you
Don’t let (insert topic) sabotage you
Controversial statement Example: Why copywriters should NEVER write Facebook ads Make it paradoxical The idea here is to appeal to people’s sense of combativeness
One of the most common questions I get is… Cover common questions or concerns
