In this blog post and video, I want to show you how to find 100 powerful YouTube keywords and video title ideas in just a few minutes using Think Media’s Keyword Universe AI tool.
Over the past few days, I have been creating several videos around Sean Cannell’s Think Media and Video Ranking Academy. I have been a member of Video Ranking Academy for over five years, and one of the things I appreciate about the platform is that it continues to be updated with new training, tools and bonuses.
One of the newer tools inside Video Ranking Academy is the Keyword Universe AI tool. This is a tool that works with ChatGPT and helps you uncover keywords, content ideas, topic clusters and possible video titles around your niche.
If you have ever sat at your computer wondering what video to make next, this type of tool can be extremely useful.

Why YouTube Keyword Research Matters
Many people start a YouTube channel with good intentions. They have knowledge, experience and a desire to help people, but they quickly run into a problem: they do not know what content to create next.
This is where keyword research can help. Keywords show you what people are already searching for. They can also help you understand the questions, problems and interests of your target audience.
However, keyword research is not just about finding one phrase and making one video. A strong YouTube channel needs a wider content strategy. You need to understand the broader world your audience lives in.
That is where the Keyword Universe AI tool becomes helpful. Rather than giving you one or two keyword suggestions, it helps you build a wider content map around your niche.
What Is Think Media’s Keyword Universe AI Tool?
The Keyword Universe AI tool is part of the bonus resources available inside Video Ranking Academy. It is designed to help creators discover a complete range of keywords, topics and video ideas around their channel or business.
In my demonstration, I used my own niche as an example. My channel is mainly focused on internet marketing, affiliate marketing, YouTube marketing, blogging, AI tools, website building, traffic generation and helping people build an online business the right way.
That is an important point because the tool starts by asking you to define your foundation. It wants to know what your channel is about, who your target audience is, what problem you solve and how you help people.
For my own channel, I explained that I help people who want to learn about internet marketing and online business. I also mentioned that I learned the hard way, wasted time, spent money and made mistakes because I did not always have a clear plan when I first started online.
That is one of the reasons I like structured training. When you have a proper process to follow, it can save a huge amount of confusion.
I have written more about this subject in my post, How To Simplify The Process Of Internet Marketing.
Starting With Your Channel Foundation
Before the Keyword Universe AI tool begins generating keywords, it asks you to clarify your positioning. This is important because keyword research without clear positioning can easily become confusing.
For example, if you simply say your channel is about internet marketing, that is quite broad. Internet marketing could include affiliate marketing, email marketing, search engine optimisation, paid ads, blogging, YouTube, social media, funnels, AI tools and much more.
The tool helps narrow this down by asking more questions. In my case, it identified that my core audience includes beginners, aspiring online entrepreneurs, people who want to make money online and people who are overwhelmed by conflicting advice.
That is a very accurate description of many people who come into internet marketing. They want to build something online, but they do not know who to trust or what to do first.
Direct Keywords
The first type of keywords the tool identifies are direct keywords. These are the obvious search terms that are closely connected to your niche.
For my example, direct keywords included phrases such as:
- Internet marketing
- Online marketing
- Affiliate marketing
- Learn internet marketing
- Internet marketing training
- Make money online
- Digital marketing for beginners
These are the obvious starting points. They may not all become final video titles, but they help establish the main subject area of the channel.
This is something I have been covering more recently on Roy Bretton Online, especially in posts such as Sean Cannell’s Video Ranking Academy Review – Is It Worth It?.
Going Deeper With Mid-Tail And Long-Tail Keywords
One of the strengths of the tool is that it does not stop at the most obvious keywords. It also helps you dig into more specific phrases.
For example, instead of only looking at “internet marketing”, you can start to find phrases such as:
- How to learn internet marketing
- Affiliate marketing for beginners
- How to start making money online
- Best way to learn online marketing
- How to build an affiliate website
- YouTube marketing for beginners
- How to get traffic to a website
These types of keywords can often make better video topics because they are more specific. They usually represent a clearer problem or question in the viewer’s mind.
For example, “affiliate marketing” is a very broad subject. But “affiliate marketing for beginners” or “how to start affiliate marketing with no money” gives you a much clearer video direction.
I have covered similar beginner-friendly topics in posts such as How To Start Making Money Online With A Zero Budget.
Why AI Makes This Process Faster
Keyword research used to take a lot longer. You would often need several different tools, manual searches, spreadsheets and a lot of guesswork.
AI does not remove the need for human judgement, but it can speed up the research process dramatically. Instead of staring at a blank screen, you can use a tool like this to generate a wide range of starting points.
The important thing is not to copy everything blindly. You still need to think strategically. You need to ask whether the keyword fits your audience, your channel, your experience and your business goals.
That is one reason why I believe training is still important. AI can give you ideas, but you still need to know how to use those ideas properly.
Finding Content Pillars For Your Channel
Another useful part of the Keyword Universe AI tool is that it helps you identify content pillars.
Content pillars are the main categories your channel can be built around. For my own channel, these could include:
- Affiliate marketing
- YouTube marketing
- Blogging
- AI tools for online business
- Website building
- Traffic generation
- Internet marketing basics
This is useful because it helps stop your channel becoming random. Instead of making disconnected videos, you can build your channel around a few clear subject areas.
For example, if one pillar is YouTube marketing, I can create videos about YouTube titles, thumbnails, keyword research, video descriptions, content strategy and YouTube tools.
If another pillar is affiliate marketing, I can create videos about choosing affiliate products, building trust, writing helpful content and avoiding common beginner mistakes.
This is also why I recently created posts such as AI Niche Finder Review And Live Demonstration and How Do You Get More From Video Ranking Academy?.
From Keywords To Video Titles
It is important to understand that a keyword is not always the same as a good YouTube title.
A keyword gives you the subject. A title needs to make the viewer want to click.
For example, the keyword might be:
YouTube keyword research
But the title could become:
- How To Find 100 YouTube Keywords In Minutes
- This AI Tool Found My Next 100 Video Ideas
- Never Run Out Of YouTube Video Ideas Again
- How To Build A YouTube Content Plan With AI
- I Tested Think Media’s Keyword Universe AI Tool
This is where human input matters. A tool can give you the raw material, but you still need to shape the final title for curiosity, clarity and relevance.
I have also been testing other Think Media tools that help with titles and niche research, which is why this Keyword Universe tool fits naturally into the same series.
Why Beginners Often Struggle With Internet Marketing
One of the reasons this tool interests me is because it connects with a wider issue in internet marketing.
Many beginners are not lazy. They are simply overwhelmed. There is so much information online that it becomes difficult to know what to do first.
I know this from personal experience. When I first started online over 20 years ago, I made plenty of mistakes. I spent money on things that did not work, tried different routes and often had to learn by trial and error.
That is why I now appreciate proper training, clear systems and tools that help reduce guesswork.
Whether someone is building a YouTube channel, starting a blog, learning affiliate marketing or trying to build an online business, having a structured plan makes a huge difference.
This is also why I have been a member of Wealthy Affiliate for many years. I have written more about that in Why Wealthy Affiliate Training Really Works.
Video Ranking Academy And The Extra Bonuses
In the video, I also show that Video Ranking Academy includes more than just the main course. There are several bonuses and additional resources included, such as AI tools, niche training, camera confidence training, video editing basics and other resources designed to help creators grow on YouTube.
I have been a member for over five years, and I still find value in going back through the material. YouTube changes, online marketing changes and AI is now changing the way many creators work.
That does not mean we should rely entirely on AI. It means we should learn how to use it wisely.
Used properly, tools like the Keyword Universe AI tool can help you:
- Find new content ideas
- Understand your audience better
- Build content pillars
- Discover related topics
- Create better video titles
- Plan future videos more easily
- Reduce guesswork
Why A Keyword Universe Is Better Than A Single Keyword
One of the biggest lessons from this tool is that creators should not only think in terms of single keywords.
A single keyword may give you one video idea. A keyword universe gives you a whole content strategy.
For example, if your niche is affiliate marketing, your keyword universe could include:
- Affiliate marketing for beginners
- Affiliate websites
- Product reviews
- Email marketing
- YouTube affiliate marketing
- Blogging for affiliate income
- Traffic generation
- AI tools for affiliate marketers
- Common affiliate marketing mistakes
- How to build trust online
From that one broad subject, you could create dozens of helpful videos and blog posts.
This is particularly useful for anyone who wants to build a long-term online business rather than just create random content.
Who Is This Tool For?
I believe the Keyword Universe AI tool could be useful for several types of creators:
- New YouTubers who do not know what to post
- Affiliate marketers looking for content ideas
- Bloggers who want more article topics
- Online business owners who want to attract leads
- Coaches and trainers who need educational content ideas
- Creators who feel stuck or short of ideas
- People who want to use AI more strategically
If you already have a niche, the tool can help you go deeper. If you are still working out your niche, it can help you see different directions you might take.

My Honest Thoughts
I like this tool because it does something practical. It helps remove the blank screen problem.
When you are trying to build a YouTube channel or online business, one of the biggest challenges is consistency. It is much easier to stay consistent when you have a list of topics, keywords and content pillars ready to work from.
However, I would not use the tool as a replacement for thinking. I would use it as a research assistant. Let it bring ideas to the surface, then use your experience and judgement to choose the best ones.
AI can be very helpful, but it still needs direction. The more clearly you explain your niche, audience and goals, the better the output will be.
Final Thoughts
The Think Media Keyword Universe AI tool is a useful addition to Video Ranking Academy. It helps creators find keywords, content pillars, related topics and potential video title ideas in a much faster way than traditional brainstorming.
For my own channel, it quickly identified internet marketing, affiliate marketing, YouTube marketing, blogging, AI marketing, website building, social media marketing and traffic generation as areas I could build content around.
That is exactly the kind of structure many creators need.
If you are serious about growing a YouTube channel, building an online business or using AI to create better content ideas, this is a tool worth looking at.
