YouTube is cited 16% of the time in large language models. Go to ChatGPT, put in a prompt in your niche. Copy the part of the URL that comes after /c/. Right click, Inspect. Go to Network. Paste in the part of the URL you just copied. Click Refresh. Click on the orange brackets with the part of the URL you copied. Go to Response. Search this for Queries. Now you can see the exact searches ChatGPT made in order to get your answer. This gives you infinite YouTube content ideas. See what ChatGPT is searching for with valuable prompts in your niche, make YouTube videos about that. Put your ChatGPT search term in the Title and at the beginning of the Description.
