Short guide on what the google/youtube ABC method is and how to utilize it to create content for discovery opportunities.
- First question people will ask is what exactly is the google ABC Method?
Google search bar has a feature that automatically suggests words based on what you have already typed in the text box. If you search for a keyword and then just add a "A", it will show you all the suggestions that people search for on google for that keyword.
Here are some screenshot examples of using the ABC Method on google.
As shown in the screenshots, we used twitch as the keyword and started the ABC method. So use the keyword or specific topic, then type A and see what the results are showing in the pop up box. Then swap the A with B which can be repeated over and over thru the whole alphabet. The results are showing many different words which can be turned into content that answers a question.
You can continue to use this method to generate even longer terms and search for possible questions people are asking about a keyword.
- What is the ABC method for youtube?
This is exactly the same idea but instead of using google, you will use the youtube search bar.
Here is a screenshot example of using the ABC Method on youtube.
Both ways show you content ideas to write about or to make videos on based on the keyword you used. This can be expanded in many different ways to even show you questions for whatever niche you are involved in or want to get into in the future.
This is one of the best kept secrets that many content creators have been using to generate ideas for making videos, streaming and writing blogs. If you are very keyed into a certain product, service or news event and can create content before everyone else, this will also help your placement on both youtube and google.
