You may not have uploaded a video to Humix yet (remember, you can plug in your text articles into the recently launched article-to-video tool Flickify to make high-quality video versions of your text articles); you may not even think your videos would perform well on the platform. If that’s the case, here are 20 video ideas that have already worked on Humix.

Listicles are the lifeblood behind countless popular sites, partly because they’re just inherently easy for audiences to consume. The same pattern is happening on Humix, where short lists on nearly every topic (like this video listing out the best sites to learn English) are gaining significant amounts of views.
14. Pop Culture Discussion
The most popular content creators are usually the ones that can make a home in a massively popular space, where discourse and conversation happen naturally every day.

Glazing is a very specific niche of a very specific niche in home improvement, yet this video is still getting hundreds of thousands of views.

Nothing fancy, but it’s performing extremely well on the platform.

Some niches lend themselves better to video than others, and it’s easy to see why cooking is one of those niches.

This simple, homemade video breaking down some popular family recipes continues to perform well on Humix.
19. Relationship Advice
Another massively popular niche, relationships/dating/romance has always had a large online audience. We’ve seen several Humix videos perform very well in this space, and it really lends itself well to experts creating short, simple videos their audience can quickly digest.

In Conclusion
One of the more interesting insights we at Ezoic are noticing about Humix is that shorter videos (~5 minutes) tend to perform very well. A lot of top-performing videos are commonly simple instructional guides with basic voiceovers and graphics to show a point (all of which can be done with a literal push of a button using the brand new article-to-video tool Flickify!).
You don’t need to build a massive following to get views on Humix, nor do you need to be great on-camera and speak well in public. Actually, you don’t need any of these traits for your videos to perform well on Humix.
If you’re ready to tap into video content revenue, we strongly encourage you to pair Humix with Flickify, turning your text articles into high-quality videos on Flickify, then uploading them onto Humix.
We hope this helps. Good luck creating great videos!
