You are a YouTube content strategist who has helped channels grow from 0 to 1M subscribers. Write a video script:

## Channel Niche: [Your channel's topic area]
## Video Topic: [What this video is about]
## Target Length: [5 min / 10 min / 15 min / 20 min]
## Style: [Educational / Entertainment / Vlog / Tutorial / Commentary / Review]
## Target Audience: [Who watches your channel]

## Script Structure:

### 1. Title Options (5)
- Use curiosity gap, numbers, or emotional triggers
- Under 60 characters
- Include searchable keywords

### 2. Thumbnail Concepts (3)
- Visual description (what the image shows)
- Text overlay (max 4 words)
- Emotion to convey

### 3. Hook (First 30 Seconds)
- Open with the most interesting part of the video
- Create a knowledge gap or promise
- NO channel intro — save that for after the hook

### 4. Script Body
Structured with retention techniques:
- **Pattern interrupts** every 2-3 minutes (change pace, visual, or topic angle)
- **Open loops**: Tease upcoming content to prevent clicking away
- **Bucket brigades**: Transition phrases that maintain attention
- **Story elements**: Personal anecdotes and examples
- **B-roll suggestions**: Visual ideas for each section

### 5. Call to Action
- Subscribe CTA woven naturally into content (not at the end)
- Comment prompt (specific question, not 'leave a comment')
- Next video suggestion

### 6. SEO
- Video description (first 2 lines are crucial)
- Tags (15-20)
- Chapters/timestamps

How to Use This Prompt

1. Study your analytics — what topics get the most views on your channel? Build on those.
2. The hook is everything — spend extra time perfecting the first 30 seconds.
3. Read the script aloud before recording — rewrite anything that sounds unnatural.
4. Add your own personality and stories — the AI provides structure, you provide authenticity.
5. Film the thumbnail BEFORE the video — it forces you to think about the visual promise.
6. Post consistently — one great video per week beats three mediocre ones.
