Making your Youtube go viral takes a lot of effort and dedication. An
aspiring Youtuber may need to allot at least a few hours a day to craft
the perfect title, thumbnail, script, and even video angles to make their
Youtube videos clickbait and worthy of watching. Thankfully, ChatGPT exists
to make the process easier. This chatbot can help you create everything
you need for your video without you having to think too hard about every
part. If you want to make viral Youtube videos using ChatGPT, keep scrolling.
Search for Viral Topic Ideas
The first step in making a viral Youtube video is to have a topic that
has been mostly searched by users. You can use tools like VidIQ, Youtube
Search, or Google Trends. And from there, you can get inspiration as to
what topics you would like to focus on. Once you have narrowed down your
choices, you can now ask ChatGPT to give you five viral topic ideas on
that topic you chose. In this example prompt, the user is asking for topic
ideas for a popular mobile game.
Tell ChatGPT to give you a specific title
The next step to having a viral Youtube video is to have a catchy and
creative title. Ask ChatGPT prompts for a good and eye-catching title,
such as “Give me 10 creative titles on how to lose weight,” and the like.
This example prompt provides catchy titles for winter fashion.
But that doesn’t stop there. You need to take a step further to make it
less generic. Ask follow-up questions to ChatGPT to create a unique title
that evokes curiosity in your viewers, and that is clickbait. Another tip
when asking for a specific title is that you need to make sure that your
title matches your content. Some Youtubers try to create mysterious titles
which can lead their videos to clickbait, but they don’t fit with the purpose
and actual content of the video. You must also know who you are producing
content for. Jonathan Aufray of Growth Hackers said to put yourself in
the shoes of your audience and ask, “what kind of question are they asking
themselves, and is your video answering that question?” Once you figure
out the question, you can use that as your video title. So, before asking
for ChatGPT prompts, take these into consideration.
Come up with a good script for your viral video
Now that you have a topic and a title, it’s time to write down the content
of your video. A video script organizes your thoughts as it is your outline
of what you want to happen in your video. It also reduces time wasted on
doing unnecessary things, such as retakes for the same scene. Before using
ChatGPT, you need to be clear about what you want to present in your video.
You need your video to have added value to increase the chances of getting
viral. The first thing you need to do is to brainstorm. Allot 15 minutes
to list down ideas related to your topic and title. Once you listed your
ideas, it’s time to search for the right keywords for your topic. Ask ChatGPT
for keywords that are popular with good search volume. This example ChatGPT
prompt provides a list of popular keywords for winter fashion.
After looking for the keywords, it’s time to incorporate them and start
creating your script outline. A script outline helps you decide the structure
and flow of your video. In the same topic above, the user asked ChatGPT
to create an outline using the keywords above.
Another idea to get inspiration in creating a good video script is to
search online for videos similar to what you are planning to do. You can
look for a competitor’s video on Youtube. And Here’s a tip that no one
usually does: copy the URL of the competitor’s video, go to youtubetranscript.com,
paste the link, and hit “Go.” You will instantly have the transcript version
of the competitor’s video. Next is to copy the transcript and prompt ChatGPT
to summarize, reword, make it more intriguing or catchy, or make a better
script from it. Here is an example prompt where the user copied a youtube
transcript and asked ChatGPT to create a summary of it.
Add a Thumbnail
A thumbnail is a featured image for your Youtube video. To pick a thumbnail,
you need to have an engaging video that must be aimed toward your target
audience. This is what Netflix has been doing, according to Kris Bilski
of Astor Film Productions. She said that Netflix has been changing the
thumbnail it uses for different productions tailored towards the user and
their preferences, like adding more colors and silly faces for the younger
audience. You can ask ChatGPT to give you three thumbnail ideas for your
topic. Here is an example prompt of suggestions for Youtube thumbnail ideas
that are clickbait.
Youtube allows users to customize and edit their video thumbnails, so
it’s best to have one or two video thumbnails ready. Remember, thumbnails
can rack up a thousand to a million views in a week's time if it is catchy
and clickbait.
Add Subtitles
You may already have uploaded your Youtube video, but there isn’t enough
watch time. To increase your video’s watch time, make sure that your video
has subtitles. Subtitles in videos make them accessible to subscribers
who are having a hard time hearing or who prefer to watch on mute on their
phones. However, adding subtitles can be a bit tasking if you do it manually.
But with the help of ChatGPT, it can save you a lot of time. As proven
by Youtuber The AI Advantage, ChatGPT saved him almost two hours of manual
work of creating subtitles. He is not great at putting punctuation on subtitles,
and what he did was he copied the auto-generated transcription of his video
and prompted ChatGPT to punctuate the transcription. Here is an example
prompt of how ChatGPT can punctuate subtitles for you:
Create a Youtube Description
A Youtube description provides the summary or synopsis of the video. It
is located below the Youtube video which can be as short as a sentence
or as long as a paragraph. Most YouTubers get their descriptions from the
subtitles, but it would take you longer than you expect for a description
or summary. ChatGPT can do the work for you – copy and paste the subtitles
on the prompt and ask to summarize the text into a Youtube description.
In this example prompt, ChatGPT is asked to create a Youtube description
from the transcripted subtitle.
Add Viral Tags
Viral tags are an essential part of your Youtube videos to help them perform
from uploading. Tags are descriptive keywords you can add to your video
so anyone can find your content. To add tags, make sure that they are based
on your main keyword. The main keyword is what your video is about. You
will add the viral tags at the “Tag” portion at the “More Options” button
below after uploading your video. If you are doing a video on winter fashion,
you can ask ChatGPT to “give viral tag ideas on a Youtube video on winter
fashion.” Here is the response of ChatGPT when the user asked to provide
them 500 characters of tags
Note that viral tags should be used without the hashtag (#) on the “Tag”
portion. Hashtags are to be used at the bottom portion of your Youtube
Description. Notice that the user asked follow-up questions to make the
context clear.
Takeaway
To sum it all up, ChatGPT reduced the time wasted for content creators
to make their own Youtube videos. With just a few tweaks from the prompts,
it’s highly likely these videos will go viral, and it’s all thanks to the
revolutionary ChatGPT.
