i need help with my channel cause i want to do something to keep my channel going like consistent content but i cannot think of anything to do i tried lets plays but i just get bored of them to quick and i cannot think of anything else to do a sort of series that i enjoy doing people enjoy watching but i cant think of one on my own and jus genral video ideas like that
 
what are you hobbies? And then make videos around that topic. Don't bother doing something if you don't enjoy it as people will see you don't enjoy it and then they won't enjoy it. Always do something you enjoy, no matter what anyone thinks and there will be someone who likes the videos you make. Also, Lets-plays are very common so it is difficult to get noticed from it.

I would go one further and say that ideas are only the start and not nearly enough on their own.

It seems that far too many people heard that you could make money from making YouTube videos and swarmed in thinking it was a quick and fun way to make it rich. Unfortunately, they didn't get the memo saying that it's an incredibly overly crowded market and getting noticed, let alone making real money, is rare for the vast majority of channels and that, while coming up with ideas and possibly even making videos may be fun, the editing, promoting, following the trends, and working with SEO for the description and tags certainly is anything but.

The short of it is that, unless you're willing to throw a lot of money in to advertise and promote your channel, it will likely take a lot of time and a tremendous amount of hard work to get anywhere. If you're looking to make a quick buck and aren't willing to be all in for the long haul, there are plenty of other places to make money a whole lot easier.

For me, animation is my passion. I started this channel 7 years ago just so I could have a place to show off my work to prospective clients or companies and (ideally) show my artwork to as many people as possible. While, like many of you, I always hoped (and continue to hope) that one of my works goes crazy viral and I start making tens of thousands a month, that has never been my main reason for the channel.

I've had numerous ups and downs, I've had YouTube remove one of my videos for no reason (I was allowed to repost it, but still lost 1.4 million views in the process), and I've had videos I thought would do well barely move and videos I did for fun completely take off. In the end, I'm still enjoying all of it and strive to continue building this channel more and more. The second it feels like work and it's a hassle for me to come up with ideas and do everything else needed for it to grow, I'm done.

Life is too short to do something you're not passionate about - especially something you're likely to never get paid well for.
 
Don't box yourself into one type or genre of content. That is one sure fire way to burn yourself out or loose interest as what you make become too monotonous. Can I suggest that you take some time and figure out what sort of content you would really enjoy making and if after thinking about it for a while you can't figure it out then Youtube might not be the right fit for you, and that's fine, is not for everyone! And that's all I have so say as the person above me said life's far too short to spend time doing something you aren't enjoying!

For me my passion for youtube comes from creating things that make me happy, if I can't watch my own video then I won't be happy with it and cannot share it! The connection I have fostered with my subscribers through my content is something I wouldn't give up for the world. In many ways for me they can be my biggest inspiration.

I hope you figure everything out! I wish you nothing but the best!
 
yeah you know, you got to think long and hard about why you are on youtube if you don't have any ideas of what to put on it. Find fun hobbies in the real world and then come back and share them on youtube! Youtube can be kind of a drag...being in front of a computer, figuring out SEO....it is almost like a job.
If you are not having fun with it don't torture yourself. The only reason I am on it is to promote animal welfare and health. Two things I feel very incredibly compelled to share with the world because I have had at least 12 years of experience in the matter.
Go...run to the real world with open arms if you can. Some of us are in virtual world trying to get out some message that we can't let sit in our hearts without sharing.
