Start by discovering what educational topics people are actively searching for on YouTube. OutlierKit's Keyword Research tool reveals high-volume, low-competition educational keywords that viewers are hungry for but few creators are covering well.

• Enter broad educational topics like 'physics explained', 'learn calculus', or 'history documentary'
• Filter for keywords with 1K+ monthly searches and moderate competition
• Identify long-tail educational queries like 'how does quantum entanglement work' or 'why did the Roman Empire fall'
• Group related keywords into potential video series or playlists
• Save your top 20 keyword opportunities for the next steps

• Sort by outlier score to find the biggest overperformers
• Analyze the titles and angles of top educational outliers
• Look for patterns — are explainers outperforming tutorials? Are 'myth-busting' angles winning?

CONTEXT (0:30-2:00): Why this topic matters and what the viewer will understand by the end 3. CORE EXPLANATION (2:00-8:00): Break the topic into 3-4 key concepts, explained in order of complexity. Use analogies, real-world examples, and 'imagine if...' scenarios 4. MIND-BLOW MOMENT (8:00-10:00): Connect the concepts to reveal something surprising or counterintuitive 5. PRACTICAL TAKEAWAY (10:00-11:00): What the viewer can do with this knowledge 6.
