Fifteen prompts for scripting, hooks, and the business side of content — the stuff that decides whether a video gets watched and whether a channel gets paid.

Write a script outline for a YouTube video about {{topic}} targeting {{audience}}. Structure: a hook for the first 10 seconds that creates curiosity or stakes (no 'hey guys welcome back'), 3-4 main sections with the key point of each, and a close that drives one specific action (subscribe, comment, watch next). Note where I'd add B-roll or on-screen text.
10 hook variations for one video idea
Give me 10 different opening-line hooks for a video about {{topic}}. Vary the approach: a bold claim, a question, a mistake/myth callout, a stat, a personal story opener. Each under 15 words — the first line has to survive the scroll.
Short-form script (Reels/Shorts/TikTok)
Write a 30-45 second short-form script about {{topic}}. Hook in the first 2 seconds, one clear idea (not three crammed in), a pattern-interrupt or visual change suggestion around the midpoint, and a caption-worthy closing line. Write it the way people actually talk, not like an essay.
Turning a long video into 5 short clips
Here's a long-form video transcript. Identify 5 standalone moments that would work as short-form clips: the timestamp/quote, why it works alone (curiosity, controversy, useful tip, funny, emotional), and a suggested caption/hook for each.

Growth & Strategy
Content calendar for the next 2 weeks
Build a 2-week content calendar for a {{niche}} creator on {{platform(s)}}, posting {{frequency}}. Mix content types (educational, entertaining, personal, promotional) so it doesn't feel repetitive, and give a one-line topic for each slot based on what's likely to perform in this niche.
Niche and content-gap research
I create content about {{broad topic}}. Help me find an underserved angle: what sub-topics get searched/discussed a lot but have thin existing content, what audience is being ignored by the big creators in this space, and 5 specific video ideas that exploit that gap.
Turning comments into video ideas
Here are recent comments from my videos. Pull out the 5 most repeated questions or requests, and turn each into a specific video title/idea I could make next.
Comments:
Analyzing why a video underperformed
This video underperformed compared to my average: {{stats}}. Here's the script/description: {{content}}. Give me an honest breakdown of what might have hurt it (hook, pacing, topic saturation, title/thumbnail mismatch, timing) and 2 things to test differently next time.
Titles & Descriptions
10 title options for a video
Give me 10 title options for a video about {{topic}}. Mix styles: curiosity gap, direct benefit, number-based, contrarian/myth-busting. Flag which 2-3 you'd actually run and why, considering clickbait risk vs click-through rate.
SEO-friendly video description
Write a YouTube description for a video about {{topic}}. First 2 lines need to hook (shown before 'more'), include natural keyword phrases someone would search, a short summary of what's covered with timestamps placeholder, and links section at the end.
Thumbnail text and concept ideas
Give me 5 thumbnail concepts for a video about {{topic}}: the 3-5 words of on-thumbnail text (if any), the facial expression/pose that fits, and what makes it stand out from typical thumbnails in this niche without being pure clickbait.
Business Side
Brand deal pitch to a company
Write a pitch email to {{brand}} proposing a sponsored video/post. Open with something specific about their product (not generic flattery), state my audience fit with a real number (subscribers/views/demo match), propose a content format, and end with a clear next step. Under 150 words.
Media kit summary
Write a short media-kit summary for myself as a creator: niche and audience in one sentence, 3 key stats ({{stats}}), 2-3 past brand collaborations or content highlights if any, and what makes my audience valuable to sponsors specifically (not generic 'engaged audience').
My stats/details:
Negotiating a sponsorship rate
Help me respond to a brand offering {{their offer}} for {{deliverables}}. My usual rate for this scope is {{my rate}}. Draft a reply that counters professionally, justifies the rate with one concrete reason (audience size, past results, production quality), and stays open to a smaller deliverable at their budget if they can't move.
Repurposing one video into a week of content
Take this one piece of long-form content and turn it into a full week of repurposed content: 3 short-form clips ideas, 2 static social posts (quote/carousel), and 1 email-newsletter blurb — all pointing back to the original.

Tips
Paste your own past hooks or scripts as a style reference. ChatGPT matches tone far better with an example of your actual voice than from a description of it.
Ask for options, not one answer. Titles, hooks, and thumbnails are a numbers game — asking for 10 variations and picking the best beats accepting the first output.
Save your repurposing and pitch prompts in PromptDock. The brand-pitch and repurposing prompts get reused every single upload — insert them with // instead of digging through old docs each time.
Insert these with two keystrokes instead of copy-paste
Download the pack, import it once into PromptDock, and every prompt above is // away inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and 7 more — with fill-in-the-blank {{variables}} that ask for the specifics as they insert.
Yes — YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and newsletters all use the same underlying prompts; just tell it your platform and format in the {{brackets}}.
Can ChatGPT actually write in my voice?
Better if you paste a sample of your own past script or captions into the prompt first and ask it to match that tone — generic prompts alone tend to sound neutral.
Are these prompts free?
Yes. Copy any in one click, or download the pack and import it into PromptDock to insert them by typing // in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
