There are so many different ways to create content
But I looked at some of the most popular kinds of content with a large variety of games
Here are 9 examples!
- Reviewing game updates: APEX
- Challenges: Diablo
- Game Walkthroughs: Call of Duty 1
- Breaking records: Minecraft
- Getting something rare: Zelda Breath of the Wild
- Tips and Tricks: Pokemon Arceus
- Funny fails: Rainbow Siege
- Humor using real life: Luigi’s Mansion 3
- TikTok videos put together: Overwatch
As I said, there are pay more ways to make content
But you get some amazing inspiration from the videos in each of these categories
Most of the content ideas can be used for any game
But remember, all you can do while watching others’ content is take inspiration
Do not copy others’ content
Reviewing game updates: APEX
If you play your game a lot, you will probably get to try out new updates before other people
Reviewing new characters, maps, and other updates is a great option for content
People want to know what to expect
They want to know if the updates are good and what is not good
This is usually an opinion type of content though
So even if someone else creates a similar video, your followers will want to know what you think
If you don’t have a lot of followers yet, try to do a review that stands out
Look at what has been done and think about what you can do to be different
Then highlight that difference
When people watch update reviews, they often watch more than one
If your content stands out and catches eyes, your videos will get more views
Challenges: Diablo
Challenges are fun to record and fun to watch
In this Diablo challenge, the goal was to go through the game without weapons
But you can take challenges in many different ways
What is something that you do in the game just by default?
Would it be challenging to go through the game without that thing?
Another example could be beating Pokemon with only one Pokemon on your team
Normally you have six on a team, and beating the game with only one would be a lot more difficult
Get creative with this and hype it up!
Creating the content will probably take some time
But challenges don’t have to be beating the game without something
Do some thinking and have fun with this one!
Game Walkthroughs: Call of Duty 1
Walkthroughs are a helpful tool for people that are struggling through the game or deciding if they want to buy it
Not all walkthroughs need to be the entire game like this Call of Duty example
It could be a specific part of the game or getting a specific item
All you need for walkthroughs is the walk your viewer through some part of the game
These are also the “how to” videos
So if you know how to do something or get something in the game you play, that is a great option for content
Breaking records: Minecraft
Breaking records is always fun
And watching them is fun too!
This video showcases many Minecraft records being broken
Doing this content requires you to look up records for your game, or you can talk about personal records if you wanted to
Just keep in mind that doing personal records opens you to people trash-talking in the comments
Have fun with this!
Some records are more fun to tackle than others
And some will take a lot of time
Getting something rare: Zelda Breath of the Wild
Griding games have no many parts and some may not be well known
I played Zelda BOTW, but I didn’t know about getting this pet until I saw this video
If you found something rare and cool, make a video of it!
This is similar to walkthroughs, but I wanted to give it a new category because it isn’t as searchable
Doing a video on something that people aren’t searching for because they don’t know it exists is fine for larger channels, but painful for smaller channels
If you don’t have a following, you are depending on creating searchable content
You can still make rare item videos searchable if you focus on the game name and say rare items or rare pets in the description
But that is something to keep in mind when creating your content
Tips and Tricks: Pokemon Arceus
I really enjoyed playing Pokemon Arceus, but there are definitely a few things that I looked up help for
There are usually a lot of layers to the best games, and viewers love the tips and tricks videos
You can do tips and tricks for every game!
There could be tips for beginners, intermediate, or expert players
Or you can do a video that mixes those player levels together
The most important thing here is to try to teach people things that you have learned from playing
Try to mix your personal tips will well-known tips
If you give 9 tips and all of them are 100% unique, people will question if you are just making it up
But if you mix well-known tips and unique tips, people will trust your word more
Also, try to stick to an odd number
Something about the human mind pays more attention to odd numbers
Funny fails: Rainbow Six Siege
Funny fails videos are some of my favorites
Life can be so serious all the time so it’s nice to just laugh sometimes
This video is all about funny fails while playing Rainbow Six Siege
This is another kind of content that you can do with any game
Every game has the option for funny moments and stupid mistakes
You just need to be willing to show that to make these videos
Some people get really proud and get embarrassed to show their fails and mistakes
But viewers enjoy watching this content
You just have to decide if you are willing to share it
Humor using real life: Luigi’s Mansion 3
Real-life recreates are also usually very funny
This requires a little more acting on your part, willingness to wear a costume, and possibly other people to be silly with you
If you cosplay alone with streaming, this would be an excellent type of content
Don’t take these too seriously and have some fun
If you are enjoying yourself while creating this content, that will shine through to the viewers
TikTok videos put together: Overwatch
If you are on TikTok too, you can take some of your most successful TikTok videos and put them together
That is what this Overwatch creator did
You can put videos together based on topic, success, and more
But I don’t recommend putting many videos together that have the same sound
That will get annoying fast
The good thing about this is that it doesn’t take a lot of time
You already have all the videos made
You just need to put them together to make a longer video
