Titles and angles built for clicks.
Act as a YouTube strategist for [Your channel / niche]. My video topic is "[Video topic]" for [Who watches you]. Give me 10 clickable title options (curiosity, outcome, and number styles), and for the strongest, the specific angle and the promise the video must deliver. Keep titles under 60 characters.
Pro tip: Check your favourite titles in vidIQ for search volume and competition before you commit to filming.
A script structured to keep people watching.
Write a full YouTube script for "[Video topic]" on [Your channel / niche] for [Who watches you]. Structure: a 15-second hook that states the payoff, a quick "here's what you'll get", then the main content in clear segments, and a CTA. Write in a natural spoken voice, short sentences, and add a re-hook every ~60 seconds to hold attention.
Pro tip: The first 15 seconds decide your retention graph — promise the outcome, do not do a slow intro.
A shot list that makes editing easy.
From the script for "[Video topic]", create a production plan for [Your channel / niche]: a b-roll shot list mapped to each segment, suggested on-screen text/callouts, and 3 places to add a visual or graphic to explain a tricky point for [Who watches you].
Pro tip: Capture more b-roll than you think you need — it is the cheapest way to hide cuts and keep energy up.
Description, chapters, and tags for discovery.
Write the YouTube description for "[Video topic]" for [Who watches you]: a compelling first 2 lines, a full summary with timestamps/chapters, a CTA, and 15 relevant tags. Suggest a pinned comment to boost engagement.
Pro tip: The first two lines of the description show in search — put the hook and keyword there.
Concepts that pair with the title.
Give me 5 thumbnail concepts for "[Video topic]" on [Your channel / niche]. For each: the focal image, the 2-4 words of text, the emotion/expression, and the colour contrast idea. Make sure the thumbnail and title tell one story together without repeating each other.
Pro tip: Thumbnail text should add to the title, not repeat it — together they should create a curiosity gap.
