Free Video Ideas Generator

A video ideas generator suggests topics for your next videos, so you spend your time filming instead of wondering what to post. This one is built for creators and small sellers: instead of chasing random trends, every idea is about your product, your buyers and the problems you solve for them.

It works for any kind of seller, whether you sell skincare, clothes or food, or digital products like ebooks, templates and online courses. If you are still deciding what to sell, start with our digital product idea generator.

The videos that sell best rarely look like adverts. They teach, show or prove something, and the product is the natural next step. These six types cover most of what works for sellers in Ghana and Nigeria.

1. 1

   Name what you sell and who buys it

   Type your product or topic into the generator, such as “a WASSCE core maths ebook” or “handmade beaded bags”. Add who it is for if you know; the ideas get sharper.
2. 2

   Pick two or three ideas you can film this week

   Choose the ones you can shoot with what you already have. A phone, daylight from a window and a quiet room are enough.
3. 3

   Open with the hook

   Say the hook in the first two seconds and put the same words on screen. If the first line does not stop the scroll, nothing after it gets seen.
4. 4

   Follow the outline, then ask

   Cover each beat quickly, then end with the call to action. One clear ask, such as “the link is in my bio”, works better than three.
5. 5

   Post, then watch what people do

   Check which videos bring comments, DMs and sales, not just views. Make more of those, and generate new ideas whenever you run low.

Start where your buyers already spend time, then reuse the same video everywhere. TikTok reaches new people fastest, even with no followers; see how to sell on TikTok in Ghana. Instagram Reels suit fashion, beauty and food, where looks matter. YouTube is best for longer tutorials people search for; read how to make money from your YouTube audience. WhatsApp Status reaches people who already know you, which makes it the easiest place to close a sale.
