Unboxing videos
Unboxing videos are exactly what they sound like. People record themselves opening up new products and then upload the video to their channel. While these videos are a great way to show off your collection or organize your things, they can also be a fun way to engage with your audience. There are a variety of topics you can create unboxing videos about, like cosmetics, snacks, toys, or books. If you have a product or service to promote, unboxing videos can also be an effective way to advertise it. Creating unboxing videos is also a great way to build a connection with your audience and show them behind-the-scenes of your channel. The most important thing when creating unboxing videos is to maintain authenticity and foster trust between you and your viewers. Make sure that your reactions feel genuine, and don’t try to oversell a product you don’t actually like. This will not only damage your credibility, but it will also make your viewers feel like you’re trying to deceive them.
Fun science experiments
Science experiments can be fascinating, and viewers love the opportunity to learn a new skill. If you’re a YouTuber with an interest in science, there are endless ways to incorporate your love of experimentation into your videos. Experiment videos are a great way to engage with your audience and provide them with informative content. You can also use experiments to promote your brand or product. If you’re selling science-related merchandise, you can use your experiments to promote your products. Experiment videos can be broken down into two categories: controlled experiments and random experiments. Controlled experiments are experiments that are designed to yield a specific result, while random experiments are experiments that are designed to yield an unpredictable result. You can use either type of experiment in your videos; the key is to choose experiments that will interest your audience. Experiment videos can be created at any difficulty level. If you’re a beginner, you can start out with simple experiments that don’t require a lot of materials. As you gain more experience, you can try more complex experiments.
How to tutorials
There are countless skills and hobbies that can be taught through video. From makeup tutorials to woodworking, there’s no shortage of ideas when it comes to how-to videos. If you have a hobby or interest that you’d like to teach your viewers about, how-to videos are a great way to engage with your audience. How-to videos are also an ideal way to showcase your expertise in a particular subject, which can help you build trust with your viewers and give them a reason to subscribe to your channel. When creating how-to videos, it’s important to remember that your audience is likely not as experienced as you are. Beginners may want to skip certain techniques and make the video easier by using shortcuts, while more experienced viewers may want to learn the more challenging version of the technique. That being said, don’t feel like you have to be an expert in everything you make a video about. As long as you’re being honest and showing your viewers that you’re human, your videos will be helpful for a wide variety of people.
Product/service reviews
Product reviews are a great way to engage with your audience and provide helpful content. You can review a wide variety of products, from makeup to music. If you have a wide range of interests, you can review products that relate to your passions. For example, if you love to bake, you can review baking supplies. If you have a brand that you want to promote, product reviews are a great way to help you do so. If you want to include your brand in your video, you can also create product reviews in which you compare products from different brands. This will give your reviews more credibility and help you build trust with your viewers. Reviewing products is a good way to get feedback on the products you use and offer your audience valuable insight into how they work. If you’re reviewing makeup or other cosmetology-related products, you can also use your reviews to give your viewers advice on how to use the products properly.
Q&A videos
Q&A videos are another great way to connect with your viewers and give them helpful content. You can host a Q&A video session where you answer a variety of questions from your viewers, or you can select a specific topic to answer questions about. Q&A videos are a great way to help new YouTubers get advice on how to improve their channels and ask questions about topics like marketing strategies, how to build a community, or how to make money on YouTube. If you offer business consulting, a Q&A session can be a great way to drum up new business and expand your client base. When hosting a Q&A session, you can either come up with a list of questions beforehand or let your viewers submit their questions during the video. You can either respond to questions live or add them to your video description so your viewers can easily view them later.
Live streams
Live streams are an engaging and interactive way to connect with your audience. You can host live streams for a variety of topics, from music to cooking and sports. Live streams are a great way to get your viewers involved and engaged with your channel. You can also use live streams to promote your brand or product by giving away freebies or discounts. If you’re hosting a live stream, make sure that you have a clear outline of what the stream is about so you don’t get off track. You can either host the live stream on YouTube or another live streaming platform, like Twitch or Instagram Live. If you’re hosting your live stream on YouTube, remember to include all relevant information in the video description so your viewers know where they can find out more information and participate in the stream.
Challenges
Challenges are a fun way to interact with your viewers and encourage them to be creative. You can create a variety of challenges, like creating a makeup look with only $5 worth of makeup or writing a poem about one of your videos. Challenges are a great way to get your viewers involved and get a positive response from your community. Challenges are also a good way to promote your brand or product. If you’re hosting a challenge that requires viewers to use a certain product, you can use the challenge to give away free products and increase your brand visibility at the same time. When creating challenges, it’s important to pick topics that your audience will enjoy. You can also try hosting a variety of different types of challenges, so your viewers don’t get bored. Challenges are a great way to get your community involved and help them feel more like part of a team or group. Challenges are also a great way to get creative juices flowing.
Behind the scenes videos
If you want your viewers to feel like they’re part of your team, behind the scenes videos are a great way to give them an inside look at your channel and show them how you create your content. You can also use behind the scenes videos to promote your brand or product. If you want to include advertising in your behind the scenes videos, make sure that you’re complying with all relevant laws and regulations. Behind the scenes videos can be broken into two categories: live action and animated. Live action behind the scenes videos are similar to reality TV shows, where the host talks to the camera and takes the viewer on a tour of their set or studio and shows them what goes on behind the scenes. Animated behind the scenes videos use animated characters to take the viewer on a tour of their set and show them how a video is created.
Interviews
Interviews are a great way to get to know your audience and spark interesting, in-depth conversations. You can conduct interviews with a wide variety of people, from fellow YouTubers to experts in a particular field. Interviews are a great way to get new perspectives and learn more about the people you admire. Interviews are also a good way to

The Power Within the Mind
In the quiet town of Riverbend lived a young man named Adam who believed his greatest enemy lived inside his own head. From the outside, his life looked ordinary—he worked at a small printing shop, greeted customers politely, and returned each evening to a modest apartment overlooking the river. But inside Adam’s mind, there was constant noise: worries about the future, regrets about the past, and a steady stream of negative thoughts that told him he was never good enough. Adam’s thoughts controlled his emotions, and his emotions controlled his actions. When he thought he would fail, he avoided trying. When he imagined rejection, he withdrew from people. Slowly, his world became smaller—not because of circumstances, but because of the thoughts he allowed to rule him. One rainy afternoon, while delivering a stack of printed flyers, Adam took shelter in an old bookstore he had passed many times but never entered. The bell above the door chimed softly as he stepped inside. The smell of aged paper and ink filled the air, strangely comforting. Behind the counter sat an elderly man with calm eyes and silver hair, reading as though time itself had paused. “Looking for something?” the man asked gently. “I’m just waiting for the rain to stop,” Adam replied. The old man smiled. “Sometimes we walk into places for reasons we don’t yet understand.” Adam wandered through the narrow aisles until one book caught his attention. Its cover was plain, with a single line written across it: You Are Not Your Thoughts. Curious, Adam brought it to the counter. “That one finds the reader,” the old man said. “Not the other way around.” Adam hesitated. “What does that even mean?” “It means thoughts are like clouds,” the man replied. “They pass through the sky of your mind, but they are not the sky.” Adam bought the book and left as the rain eased. That night, he opened it expecting complex theories, but the writing was simple and clear. It spoke about awareness, about observing thoughts instead of obeying them, and about the hidden power that comes from choosing where to place attention. One line struck him deeply: You cannot always control what appears in your mind, but you can control what you believe and act upon. The next morning, Adam decided to experiment. As he prepared for work, a familiar thought appeared: You’ll mess up today. Normally, he would accept it as truth. This time, he paused. “That’s just a thought,” he said quietly. It felt strange, almost uncomfortable, but also freeing. The thought lost some of its weight. At work, when a customer complained, Adam noticed his mind shouting, You’re useless. Instead of reacting, he took a breath and watched the thought pass. He responded calmly, solved the issue, and realized something remarkable—his day didn’t collapse because he didn’t let his thoughts control his actions. Days turned into weeks, and Adam practiced daily. Not perfectly—some days the old patterns returned strongly—but he was learning. He began to understand that the mind was like a wild horse. If left unchecked, it would run anywhere. But with patience and practice, it could be guided. One evening, Adam returned to the bookstore to thank the old man, but the shop was gone. In its place stood an empty building with a “For Rent” sign. Confused, Adam asked a nearby shopkeeper. “That bookstore?” the shopkeeper said. “Closed years ago.” Adam felt a chill, but instead of fear, he felt clarity. The lesson mattered more than the messenger. As Adam’s control over his thoughts grew, so did his life. He applied for a better position at work—something he would have never dared before. When fear whispered, You’re not ready, he answered, I can learn. When doubt said, You’ll fail, he replied, Maybe—but I’ll try. He didn’t eliminate negative thoughts; he changed his relationship with them. They became signals, not commands. Adam also noticed how his thoughts shaped his relationships. When he assumed others judged him, he acted distant, which pushed people away. When he chose thoughts of openness and curiosity instead, connections formed naturally. His world expanded again. One day, Adam met a young boy sitting alone by the river, staring into the water with heavy eyes. “What are you thinking about?” Adam asked. The boy shrugged. “That I’m not smart. My teacher said I’m slow.” Adam sat beside him. “Thoughts can lie,” he said gently. “Just because a thought shows up doesn’t mean it’s true.” The boy looked up, surprised. “Really?” “Really,” Adam said, smiling. As the sun set, Adam realized how far he had come. The power he once searched for outside—confidence, peace, control—had always been within him. It was hidden behind layers of unchecked thoughts, waiting to be discovered. He understood now that controlling thoughts didn’t mean fighting them or forcing positivity. It meant awareness. Choice. Direction. And in that quiet awareness, Adam found freedom—not from thoughts, but from being ruled by them. From that day on, whenever life felt heavy, Adam returned to one simple truth: I am the thinker, not the thought. And that made all the difference.

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.
