How to plan a year of video clips from the questions your audience asks
Short answer: pick one specialty, split it into twelve topics, collect real questions people type into search for each topic, and then look in your recordings for the moments that answer them. Questions you have not answered yet become topics for future episodes.
1. One specialty
One clear area you want to be known for. A narrow focus makes it easier for people and search engines to understand what you are about.
2. Twelve topics
Break the specialty into twelve topics, one per month if you like.
3. Real questions for each topic
Type each topic into a search box and note the suggestions that appear. They show what people actually ask, for example: "how long should podcast clips be", "turn podcast into shorts" or "how to add captions to short videos". Rewrite the best ones as questions. Thirty per topic is plenty.
4. Match questions to your recordings
Search your transcripts for the moments that answer each question. A good match is a clip that answers one question clearly. This is the step that matters most, because a long list of questions does not mean your recordings already answer them.
5. Fill the gaps
Questions with no good answer in your recordings are a gift: they are topics for your next episodes.
How we use this
The question map is part of our Growth and Premium plans (a 30-question map comes with Starter). It is a planning tool, and clips are still chosen only when a real moment answers the question.

Where do I find what my audience asks?
Search suggestions, comments on your videos, replies to your posts and questions from listeners are all real sources.
Do I need hundreds of questions?
No. Start with a handful per topic and expand as you find matches in your recordings.
