ChatGPT Prompts for Content Creators

Write a YouTube video script for a {{video_length}}-minute video about "{{video_topic}}" for my channel that covers {{niche}}.

Target audience: {{target_audience}}
Video style: {{video_style}} (e.g., talking head, tutorial, essay)

Structure:
1. Hook (first 15 seconds) — open with a surprising fact, bold claim, or relatable problem. No "Hey guys, welcome back."
2. Context setup (30 seconds) — why this matters right now
3. Main content ({{num_sections}} sections, each with a clear subheading I can use as a chapter marker)
4. CTA placement — weave in a subscribe/like reminder naturally at the {{cta_timing}} mark
5. Outro — end with a question that drives comments

For each section, include:
- [TALKING HEAD] or [B-ROLL: description] markers for editing
- Key point in bold
- Natural transition to next section

Write in a {{tone}} tone. Here is how I naturally speak: "{{voice_sample}}"

Create a detailed podcast episode outline for a {{episode_format}} episode about "{{episode_topic}}".

Show: {{show_name}} — {{show_description}}
Episode length: {{target_length}} minutes
Audience: {{audience}}

Structure:
1. Cold open (30 sec) — teaser of the most interesting moment/insight
2. Intro + episode context (2 min)
3. Main segments ({{num_segments}} segments, each with a time estimate):
   - Key talking points (not a script — bullet points I can riff on)
   - One specific story, example, or data point per segment
   - Transition phrase to the next segment
4. {{ad_placement}} — natural ad/sponsor break point
5. Rapid-fire or audience Q&A section (optional)
6. Key takeaway + CTA (what should the listener do after this episode?)
7. Outro + next episode teaser

Emotional arc: Start with {{opening_energy}}, build to the most provocative point by segment {{peak_segment}}, then bring it home with actionable advice.

Generate 8 YouTube thumbnail + title combinations for a video about "{{video_topic}}" on a {{niche}} channel.

Current subscriber count: {{sub_count}}
Top-performing past titles: {{past_titles}}
Competitor videos on this topic: {{competitor_examples}}

For each combination, provide:
1. Title (under 60 characters) using one of these frameworks: curiosity gap, specific number, before/after, contrarian take, or "How I..." personal story
2. Thumbnail concept: describe the image, facial expression, text overlay (max 4 words), and color scheme
3. Why this pairing would drive clicks (the psychology behind it)

Rank them from "safest bet" to "highest risk, highest reward." Avoid clickbait that the video cannot deliver on — the title should promise exactly what the video contains.

I just published a {{original_format}} about "{{content_topic}}". Here are the key points:
{{key_points}}

Repurpose this into content for the following platforms:
{{platforms}}

For each platform, provide:
1. Format (e.g., carousel, thread, short-form video, newsletter section)
2. Hook/opening line optimized for that platform's algorithm
3. The full content piece, adapted to the platform's native format and character/time limits
4. Hashtags or keywords if applicable
5. Best time to post based on general {{niche}} audience behavior
6. One engagement prompt (question, poll, or CTA) specific to that platform

Maintain my voice: {{voice_description}}. Do not just copy-paste the original — each piece should feel native to its platform.

Generate {{num_hooks}} scroll-stopping hooks for a {{content_format}} about "{{topic}}" on {{platform}}.

My audience: {{audience_description}}
What makes this topic timely: {{timeliness}}
My angle/unique perspective: {{unique_angle}}

For each hook, provide:
1. The hook (first 1-2 sentences or first 3 seconds of video)
2. Which hook framework it uses (open loop, pattern interrupt, identity statement, controversial opinion, specific result, story tease)
3. The emotion it targets (curiosity, fear of missing out, aspiration, outrage, relatability)
4. A follow-up line that delivers on the hook's promise

Avoid: "Did you know...", "In this video...", "Have you ever wondered...". These are overused. Surprise me with hooks that feel fresh.

Write a collaboration pitch email/DM to {{creator_name}}, a {{their_niche}} creator with {{their_audience_size}} followers on {{their_platform}}.

My channel/brand: {{my_channel}} — {{my_description}}
My audience size: {{my_audience_size}}
Collaboration idea: {{collab_idea}}
What I bring to the table: {{my_value_prop}}
What is in it for them: {{their_benefit}}

The pitch should:
1. Open with a specific reference to their recent content (mention {{recent_content}}) — show you actually watch their stuff
2. Clearly explain the collaboration idea in 2-3 sentences
3. Highlight mutual benefit (not just what you get from it)
4. Include logistics: proposed timeline, format, and who does what
5. Close with a low-commitment next step (not "let's do this!")

Tone: professional but warm, peer-to-peer. Keep under 150 words. No corporate buzzwords.
