# 6 Universal YouTube Video Formats for Any Business

> Six universal video title and topic frameworks for YouTube content

A content strategy tip outlining six universal video formats designed to attract attention across any niche. Created by Alexander Borisov from his book 'Capturing Attention', it helps businesses and creators bypass creator's block by tapping into proven viewer psychology.

## How it works

Use these 6 universal video topics for your YouTube channel or business content:

1. "7 Beginner Mistakes in \[Topic\]" («7 ошибок новичка в...»):

Every niche has beginners making predictable errors. Address common misconceptions or mistakes.

2. "5 Myths About \[Topic\]" («5 мифов о...»):

Debunk popular myths or useless practices in your industry (e.g., unnecessary blood tests, common product misconceptions).

3. "Best \[Products/Solutions\] Under \[Budget/Amount\]" («Лучшие ... до ... рублей»):

Curated recommendations categorized by price or budget (e.g., best budget gear, tools under a certain threshold).

4. Objection / Controversial Topic («Выпуск-возражение / Не всё так однозначно»):

Explore debatable or controversial subjects where popular opinion is split (e.g., pros vs. cons, counterintuitive takes).

5. Explainer / Deep Question («Почему? Кто? Где? Как правильно...»):

Answer specific, frequently searched problems or curious questions (e.g., "Why does your neck hurt after sleep and how to fix it", "How to sit properly without back pain").

6. Quick Result / Time-Framed Outcome («Как легко \[сделать что-то\] за \[X\] дней / минут»):

Deliver clear, achievable transformation or progress tied to a timeframe (e.g., "Find your life purpose in 10 minutes", "Built a timber frame house in 2 weeks").
