Non sai su cosa realizzare video di YouTube o hai solo bisogno di ispirazione per idee video pratiche?
Abbiamo fatto le basi e compilato un elenco di 105 idee video di YouTube che puoi utilizzare per ottenere risultati dal tuo canale YouTube.
Analizziamole, iniziando da quello che dovrebbe essere il tuo primo video su YouTube!
Le migliori idee video per principianti
Se hai appena iniziato su YouTube, è meglio attenersi alle basi.
Non vuoi andare avanti con molti contenuti educativi o ricchi di informazioni perché questi video continueranno ad andare più in basso nel tuo canale man mano che crei più contenuti. Quindi, è meglio creare video semplici e di alta qualità per riscaldare il tuo pubblico.
Ecco alcune idee.
1. Presentati
Questo è un primo post essenziale e facile per chiunque si chieda quale dovrebbe essere il tuo primo video di YouTube. Realizza un video per presentarti:cosa fai, che tipo di contenuti gli spettatori possono aspettarsi dal tuo canale, come puoi aiutare e quanto spesso pubblichi.
L'idea è quella di creare un caloroso video di benvenuto per il tuo pubblico per dare loro un motivo per iscriversi al tuo canale. Ecco un ottimo esempio di allegro video "Presentati".
2. Organizza una sessione di domande e risposte su Instagram e rispondi alle domande migliori (o alle 3 principali) in un video di YouTube
Non sei sicuro di che tipo di cose parlare su YouTube ma ti capita di gestire anche una pagina Instagram? Pubblica un adesivo con una domanda sulla tua storia di Instagram intorno alla tua nicchia o a un argomento specifico. Scegli le 3 domande principali e rispondi in un video di YouTube con esempi e scenari per renderlo interattivo. Ecco come ha fatto Grace, che ha ottenuto anche 161.000 visualizzazioni del video.
3. Presenta la tua squadra
Realizza un video divertente e coinvolgente con un'interessante domanda/risposta o un'introduzione all'azione dietro le quinte dei membri del team. Questo aiuterà i tuoi spettatori a relazionarsi con il lato più umano del tuo canale e della tua attività, consentendo loro di connettersi meglio con te . Ecco un breve video di presentazione del team:
4. Giro a casa
Dai al tuo pubblico un'anteprima della tua vita personale con un tour a casa. Puoi girare questo video con una voce fuori campo mentre mostri ogni parte della tua casa, oppure puoi dire a qualcun altro di realizzare il video e puoi accompagnare correttamente il tuo pubblico attraverso un tour virtuale della casa.
5. Tour della tua città
Filmati in giro per la città e copri i tuoi luoghi turistici preferiti, i luoghi meno conosciuti, i caffè carini e le belle strade. Offri al tuo pubblico la possibilità di fare un tour virtuale di com'è mettersi nei tuoi panni e vedere una città che non ha mai visitato prima. Ecco uno straordinario tour notturno della città di Parigi per te.
6. Avvia il vlog
Come scrivere un post sul blog educativo o basato sull'esperienza, puoi anche creare un vlog. Può essere una recensione del prodotto, un giorno nella tua vita o esperienze lavorative ed educare o motivare il pubblico.
7. Video esplicativi
Se hai un prodotto o sai come spiegare complicati argomenti tecnici in modo più semplice, scegli i video esplicativi. Semplificano le cose e dicono agli utenti come utilizzare un prodotto o capire meglio un concetto attraverso presentazioni, lavagne e grafici. Guarda come ha fatto Zendesk.
8. Trailer del canale
Crea un trailer del canale che mostri al tuo pubblico che tipo di contenuti possono aspettarsi da te. Fornisce un'anteprima dei contenuti che gli utenti troveranno sul tuo canale per stuzzicarli a iscriversi o guardare altri video da te. Prendi ispirazione dal trailer del canale di Will Smith qui:
9. Short di YouTube
Realizza video di 30 secondi di contenuti snackable in un modo facile da digerire e pubblicali sull'ultima funzione di YouTube, Shorts. Funziona in modo simile a TikTok e Instagram Reels ed è un ottimo modo per bagnarti i piedi con video di lunga durata creando prima contenuti di breve durata:
10. Dietro le quinte
Le persone amano vedere i processi, quindi mostra ai tuoi spettatori cosa c'è dietro la realizzazione dei tuoi video, il funzionamento interno della tua attività o la tua vita quotidiana come creatore, genitore, imprenditore o artista. Guarda il video della routine mattutina di questa professionista che dà uno sguardo al di là del suo lavoro dalle 9 alle 17.
11. Cosa c'è sul tuo telefono?
Se sei un mago del telefono, fai scaricare sul tuo telefono un sacco di app meno conosciute di cui i tuoi spettatori possono beneficiare o conosci le impostazioni che ti aiutano a essere più efficiente:fai un video "cosa c'è sul tuo telefono" e spiega alle persone come possono gestire meglio il lavoro, il tempo e il gioco come ha fatto qui Rowena Tsai.
12. Domande e risposte rompighiaccio
Offri al tuo pubblico una panoramica delle tue opinioni e opinioni rispondendo ad alcune domande rompighiaccio in un video:puoi realizzare un video "50 domande rompighiaccio per conoscermi meglio". Questi possono includere domande su cosa fai nel tuo tempo libero, un fatto che pochissime persone conoscono di te, il miglior consiglio che tu abbia mai ricevuto, ecc.
13. Brevi contenuti del tutorial
Uno dei motivi più comuni per cui le persone vanno su YouTube è che vogliono imparare a fare qualcosa seguendo un video. Questo può essere semplice come "come inserire una tabella nei documenti Google" o elaborato come "come assemblare un letto IKEA".
L'idea è di immergere le dita dei piedi nell'acqua creando video più brevi di 2-3 minuti per diventare bravi nella narrazione prima di iniziare a realizzare video più lunghi.
14. Video delle sfide
A giorni alterni c'è una sfida che diventa virale sui social media:pensa alla sfida del manichino, alla sfida di moda o a una normale sfida di ballo. Partecipa a queste sfide creando video con un tocco unico per sfruttare queste tendenze.

Le persone vogliono sempre sapere il modo più veloce per fare le cose. Quindi, se sei bravo in qualsiasi cosa, che si tratti di tecnologia, stile di vita, trucco, danza, canto, arte o atletica, crea video tutorial di 30 secondi e pubblicali su YouTube Shorts.
16. Collaborazione video con un esperto del settore
Collabora con un altro esperto del tuo settore e porta più valore al tuo pubblico attraverso conversazioni, discussioni e approfondimenti. Tali video aiutano anche ad aumentare la portata di entrambi i collaboratori e danno al tuo pubblico un motivo per essere incollato al tuo canale.

Istruzione + interazione dal vivo è una ricetta per il successo dei video. Ecco un webinar di Neil Patel.
24. Video sulla lavagna
Ricordi l'apprendimento su una lavagna o una lavagna bianca a scuola? È un modo popolare per spiegare argomenti e analogie alla buona vecchia maniera. Quindi, procurati una lavagna e crea una serie di video spiegando un argomento complesso con esempi ed elementi facilmente riconoscibili come questo.
25. Cosa fare e cosa non fare
Crea un video che dica alle persone cosa fare e cosa non fare riguardo a una cosa in particolare. Può trattarsi di un primo appuntamento o durante un viaggio verso una destinazione specifica.

26. Domande e risposte
Scegli un commento di domanda da uno dei tuoi precedenti video di YouTube come fa Vanessa Lau o incoraggia gli spettatori a pubblicare le loro domande nei commenti verso la fine di ogni video.
Queste domande costituiscono un ottimo argomento e c'è la possibilità che se uno spettatore ha questa domanda, anche centinaia di altri potrebbero volerlo sapere, quindi è vantaggioso per tutti.
27. Sfatare i miti
Sfata le idee sbagliate del settore realizzando un video su ciò che le persone presumono rispetto a ciò che è realmente, con grafici, statistiche e analogie o esempi per facilitare la comprensione, come questo video.
28. Riepilogo settimanale o mensile delle tendenze dei social media
Tutti vogliono essere al top delle tendenze dei social media, che si tratti di una sfida di ballo su Instagram Reels o di un popolare formato di tweet su Twitter seguito da tutti. Crea un video di riepilogo delle tendenze settimanalmente o mensilmente combinando tutte le tendenze insieme per dare ai tuoi spettatori un'idea di ciò che è di tendenza:
29. Tutorial di danza TikTok
TikTok ha oltre un miliardo di utenti mensili e il numero è in costante crescita. Le sfide di ballo di TikTok sono una ricetta per diventare virali e divertirsi introducendo il tuo tocco unico.
