  • How to build a database in minutes

Why Databases?

Most creators upload blindly. They:

  • Enter niches with no demand

  • Upload content nobody is watching anymore

  • Waste months before realizing the market is dead

Databases fix that. A Database:

  • Automatically tracks a niche’s videos, searches & channels

  • Shows you where the real attention is right now

  • Reveals what topics are breaking out before others know

  • Helps you place bets only when the market says “YES”

Databases = your Legolas eyes for YouTube trends

Why You Need Them

Let’s break it down simple and stupid:
YouTube is supply vs demand.

Supply and demand on youtube

Supply = how many videos are posted
Demand = how many viewers are watching
Without tracking demand:

  • You upload blindly without any data backing your decision, praying for views

  • You think “the YouTube algorithm is broken” (it’s not)

With databases:

  • You find exploding topics

  • You see opportunity windows fast

  • You only make videos with proven audience demand

    How To Create A Database

    Step 1. Name your database

    Content database naming

    Step 2. Add Auto-Searches

    auto-searches content databases

    Auto-searches are direct searches on YouTube that continually searches YouTube for videos once every 24 hours. This helps you auto-populate databases and identify new videos that have been uploaded every day. These can be set up later in the process too.

    Step 3. Add Channels

    adding channels content databases

    Pick channels that already:

  • Perform well in the niche/market

  • Use the format you want to win with

    Step 4. Add Filters

    filter content databases

    Filters are useful for making sure you only gather useful videos to your database:

  • Video duration (Short/Medium/Long). We advise to filter out shorts as they are noisy metrics-wise)

  • Subscriber range (500-50 000 subscribers allows to find breakout channels)

  • Publish timeframe (recent videos = signal)

  • Outlier ratio (useful if you want to collect only viral videos and outliers from your market)

  • Similarity threshold (how similar to your search phrase the videos that are being collected will be) Setting high similarity means it will only collect videos that contain the search phrase, while lower similarity means it might collect videos that have overlaps).
