Your video can provide those answers.
3. Ask People for Ideas
Get ideas for new videos from the people already watching your existing videos. The most effective way to do this is to add a pinned comment to your video simply asking viewers for their ideas and what types of topics they want to see you cover.

4. Ideas From User Comments

Search phrases like, ‘how do,’ ‘how are,’ ‘why are’ or other words that will be used in questions. Once you know the questions being asked, you can get to work making a video that provides the answers.
5. Google Trends
Search Google Trends to get ideas based on what is popular and trending right now. Creating video content based on a trend will fill a need for your audience. Another advantage of this method is that if the topic is already trending, it is possible your video will benefit from the trend and gain significant traction.
6. Meet People With Similar Interests
People with similar interests can be a wealth of ideas. Meet people in your niche. These people can be industry experts, media or even people with similar channels of their own. Interview these individuals and turn these interviews into videos you can publish. These interviews can very likely generate ideas for future videos, so make sure to write down any other ideas that come out of these interviews.
7. Reddit
Reddit calls itself the face of the Internet, and for good reason. Within Reddit, there are communities with millions of subscribers. People ask questions and share content in a wide array of topics. Check out the questions and content available on the Reddit community and look for ideas that can be turned into videos.

Just refine the question and answer to provide quality content for your viewers.
Start Creating Content
There are plenty of ways to come up with topics when you find you are out of video ideas for your Youtube channel.
