AI Prompts for YouTubers and Content Creators

"Generate 3 high-retention "Hooks" (first 15 seconds) for a YouTube Tech Review video comparing the latest iPhone to the flagship Samsung device. The hook must immediately state the premise, establish high stakes, and promise a surprising conclusion. Then, provide a 5-part script outline (Hook, Setup, Deep Dive, The Twist/Nuance, Conclusion/CTA) ensuring the pacing keeps viewer retention high throughout the 10-minute video."

"Create a 30-day content calendar strategy for a personal finance creator. Define 3 core "Content Pillars" (e.g., Budgeting Basics, Mindset, Investing 101). Map out how to take 1 long-form YouTube video (Pillar 3) and execute a "Content Waterfall" strategy: fracturing it into 3 short-form Reels/TikToks, a Twitter thread, 2 LinkedIn posts, and an email newsletter. Provide a visual weekly cadence for publishing."

"Draft a pitch email to a project management software company (like Notion or Asana) proposing a brand sponsorship. You are a productivity YouTuber with 50,000 engaged subscribers. Detail your audience demographic, point out organic integration opportunities (rather than just reading a dry ad read), and propose a 3-video integration package. Ask for a brief call to discuss their current Q3 marketing goals."

"Brainstorm 5 highly clickable YouTube Titles and corresponding visual Thumbnail concepts for a video about "How to quit your corporate job to freelance." The titles should balance Search Intent (SEO) with Curiosity/Click-Through-Rate. Do not use clickbait, but use powerful emotional triggers. For the thumbnails, describe the imagery, text overlay, and facial expressions required to complement the title."

"Outline a 3-part automated email Welcome Sequence for a creator launching a weekly newsletter about "Healthy Meal Prepping on a Budget." Email 1: Deliver the lead magnet and establish your origin story. Email 2 (Day 3): Share your biggest unexpected failure/mistake to build trust and relatability. Email 3 (Day 5): Provide an exclusive "quick win" tip and set expectations for future emails. Write the subject lines and a brief summary of the body for each."

"Write a tight, 60-second script for a TikTok/Reel about a hidden iOS feature. Format the script with two columns: Visual/Audio cues on the left, and Spoken Text on the right. Start with a 3-second visual hook. Keep sentences extremely short. Include instructions for jump cuts every 3-5 seconds to maintain visual pacing, and end with an engaging CTA prompting saves/shares."

"Generate 10 engaging Community Tab poll ideas or Instagram Story questions for a fitness creator focused on marathon running. The questions should be highly polarizing or relatable to spark debate and drive algorithmic engagement (e.g., "Treadmill vs. Running in the rain?"). Each question should be simple enough to answer in 1 tap but elicit strong opinions in the comments."

"I am hosting a podcast interviewing a successful serial entrepreneur. Suggest 7 non-obvious, deep interview questions that go beyond "how did you get started?" Focus on questions that probe their failures, specific routines, contrarian beliefs, and how they navigate interpersonal conflict. Aim to extract stories rather than platitudes."

"Outline a structure for a paid digital course titled "Mastering iPhone Photography." Break it down into 5 modules, starting from absolute beginner concepts (lighting/framing) to advanced mobile editing workflows. Include 3 specific lesson titles per module. Define what the final "transformation" or outcome will be for the student by the end of the course to help position the marketing copy."

"Design a "Batch Creation Workflow" to help a solo creator avoid burnout. Outline a 4-day system where Day 1 is dedicated to Ideation and Scripting, Day 2 is high-energy Filming, Day 3 is Editing, and Day 4 is Scheduling/Admin. Detail specific tools and rules for each day (e.g., "Do not edit on film day") to enforce context-switching boundaries and streamline production."
