How to tell a good video idea from a weak one
It has an angle, not just a topic
"The Roman Empire" is a topic. "Why Rome kept a wall it knew would not stop anyone" is an idea: it has a question the video answers.
It can hold the length
A long video needs a story, an investigation or a list with real depth. If you can say everything in a minute, it is a Short, not a ten-minute video.
Someone is already searching for it
Type the idea into YouTube search. Suggestions and existing videos with good views mean there is demand; your job is a better angle, not an empty niche.
You can make ten more like it
Channels grow on series. Pick ideas that suggest the next five videos, so viewers who liked one have a reason to subscribe.
