So the biggest mistake people make when using chat GP T to write YouTube video scripts is giving the A I the wrong prompts .
So the question is , what are the right prompts ?
Since its release , I've been playing around with chat GP T , and I've been using it to write some YouTube video scripts .
So in this video , I'm gonna be sharing my research .
I'm gonna be sharing my secrets , and I'm gonna be showing some of the best prompts to put together the perfect YouTube video script that gets views on YouTube .
So let's say I'm making a video about assembling a skateboard , right ?
It will be called how to build a skateboard .
We're gonna start with that .
And by the way , in this video , I'm gonna be sounding simple , and I'm gonna keep on fine tuning and showing you the prompts that I use to get the best out of chat GP T to craft the perfect YouTube video script .
So why skateboarding ?
Well , because it's important to have knowledge on the topic that you are creating about .
And that's something that I'm going to cover a little later on in this video and you understand as we go along , let's prompt What do I need to build a board ?
And from this prompt ?
As you can see , we've got some decent info .
And I could have thought of this all by myself .
But the time that it would have taken me just to research and also just to remember what goes into assembling a skateboard would have taken me a lot longer than just prompting the A .
I .
And it's possible that I would have even forgotten one of the components when I'm putting my script together .
And now here it gives me every component that goes into a skateboard with a brief explanation each time of how every single component works .
And I've even got an optional component right here .
And some of you might be wondering , Why didn't you ask it ?
Write a YouTube video script ?
Well , that's the next thing that we're gonna do .
So here I'm gonna prompt it .
Write a YouTube video script about how to build a skateboard , and here you're gonna notice a few things in chat GP TS response .
The first thing is that it gives us an intro to the actual YouTube video , and this can be helpful when you're lost to inspiration .
But these parts are often the parts of the video that make it unique to you .
So I like to write my own intros and hooks , but you can use chat GP T to spice up and to make your intros better .
And that's something that we're gonna cover a little later on .
In this video , I'm gonna show you exactly how to do that .
The second thing you'll notice is that it gives us the same list of information that we got from the first prompt .
And this is because chat GP T knows that a tutorial about how to build a skateboard will require the list of components that the view will need to assemble the skateboard .
So we could have just skipped the very first prompt and gone straight to this one .
But I'll show you later on why those questions can also be very good , and it's important not to skip them .
And then the third thing you might have noticed is that it tells us how to actually then use the components and assemble them together in five easy steps , and at this point , you might be thinking , OK , Well , this is great .
I've now got my script .
I can just go ahead and copy this and we're done wrong .
The reason we're not done is because this prompt is way too broad , right ?
And YouTube is all about satisfying the viewer .
So if a beginner skateboarder came to this video and watched it all the way through , they would actually be missing information .
And this is why , at the beginning of the video , I actually mentioned why it's important to know the topic that you're creating about and that you're prompting chat GP T with because otherwise you're going to end up creating low quality content .
Which leads to a lower retention time on YouTube .
Which doesn't help your videos go far in YouTube's algorithm .
And that's because YouTube is all about providing the right value to your viewers .
And I know just by reading it this video script isn't finished or isn't great , because I know a lot about skateboarding .
So it's important to know what you're prompting about .
And so what can we prompt chat GP T to make sure that we're not missing any information ?
Well , because I know the subject that I'm writing about Or should I say that chat GP T is writing about for me ?
I know what info is missing .
So , for example , it mentions you need a skateboard deck , and this is where I need to dig a little further because there are different sizes to a skate deck , which can play a significant role in learning skateboarding .
So I could then ask what is the best skateboard deck size for beginners and then chat ?
GP T gives me the following answer , and as you can see , it goes in depth on some of the information that is really valuable to know when buying your first skateboard deck .
So the key here is to ask chat GP T to elaborate on specific points of the script in Generated for You so I could take this section and then fit it into the second response that I got .
And that would be a more valuable and in depth script .
But then there's a common issue that rises with chat GP T , and that is that the responses that a I gives can sometimes be too knowledgeable , and this is because the A I or chat GP T can't actually gauge who it's giving the response to and let me tell you why this is a problem .
Let's say you're making a video about something a little more complex .
Imagine you're a mechanic and you're making a video about cars .
You're making a video script about how cars work , so you decide to prompt chat .
GP T .
How do cars work ?
You will get some good responses , prompt a little further , and then you might think nice again .
My work is done .
Copy the script and then start recording your video .
But for this one , we actually need to go backwards .
We don't want more in depth detail .
The problem here is that cars are rather complex , and so the response we get is actually pretty complex .
And someone searching for and watching a video about how cars work most likely doesn't know anything about cars just like myself .
And if you want to grow on YouTube , you need to boost your retention just like we mentioned earlier .
And to do that , you need to make your videos easy to follow .
But if you start talking about in depth details at the beginning of your video or your explanation to a complete beginner .
They're not going to understand what you're talking about , and then they'll click off and find a video that explains it better .
So you need to start out simple in the script and slowly go into detail later .
So what should we ask ?
Chat G BT to make our video script simpler ?
Well , after the complicated response , all I did was prompt .
Please simplify your response above , or you could even just copy the text prompt and then say , please the following and then paste the text and then chat .
GP T will actually reword the text and make it simpler for car newbies just like myself to understand .
And you can actually keep on doing this .
And it will make it simpler and simpler and simpler every single time .
And this is what I've actually found to be pretty impressive with chat GPT .
It's that you can reword your script with a I to suit your video's aim a lot better and let me explain here , because I think this is actually really important .
Let's go back to the skateboard deck size prompt that we were talking about earlier in this video .
It was very valuable info , but not written super well for audience retention .
So after that prompt , I actually decided to write , Can you make the above text more intriguing ?
And , as you can see , if we put the two side by side , there's quite the difference .
It's not amazing , but it makes the text a lot more intriguing and relatable .
For example , instead of the best skateboard deck site for beginners , it starts out with if you're just starting out on your skateboarding journey , which is a lot more relatable because most people watching the video will just be starting out on the skateboarding journey .
And then there are also other words in the second prompt when I asked it to make it more intriguing words like Remember and the simple answer , which insinuate that there's more complex answers and more to come .
Basically , it just words it differently .
That makes the viewers watch the video longer , and you can actually take this method and do it in so many different ways .
Depending on what emotion you're trying to convey in your video , you could ask it to make the video sadder .
You could ask it to make it more exciting .
You could ask it to make it happier , more depressing any emotion you want .
Just give it the text and ask it to make the text more something .
I think that is actually really cool .
And this is important because emotion is a great way to keep the viewer watching .
But before you even captivate your viewer with emotion , you need to actually hook them into the video .
And earlier in the video again , I mentioned that we can actually make better hooks using chat GP T And so how would we make a better intro using chat GP T So here I myself wrote a quick intro together , and this was without GP T .
So I wrote What's up , guys ?
Alec here and today I'm gonna show you how to assemble your first skateboard .
If you've just started out skateboarding or you're interested in starting out in this video , I show you everything you need to know to get going .
And so that's my intro .
And now what I do is I head to chat gpt and I ask it the following This is my intro for the next YouTube video about assembling a new skateboard for beginners , and then I paste the text that I wrote .
Can you make it better ?
Please try and hook the viewer in so they watch it all the way until the end of the video .
And this is what I got .
Pay skateboarders and aspiring skateboarders .
Are you ready to take the next step and assemble your own skateboard ?
Look no further , because in this video I'm going to guide you through the process , step by step , whether you're a beginner or just to brush up on your skills , This video has got you covered , So grab your deck trucks , wheels and bearings and let's get ready to roll .
Trust me , there's no better feeling than cruising on a board you built with your own two hands .
See you in the video .
So , as you can see , this one's got a lot more emotion and a lot more relatable points .
I don't know .
I don't know , like to you , me reading both of them back to back .
It probably just sounded way more enticing .
And the funny thing about this is that I actually just talk to chat GP T as if it was a regular person .
Some people like to overthink it and try to calculate what their prompts need to be be .
But most of the time you just don't need to .
And the funny thing is again is that it probably did the job better than most people would have .
Just look at how it reworded some of the sentences to make the intro more enticing , Skip back and honestly , compare the two .
And I'm gonna end this video on a list of tips that I found useful when writing YouTube scripts and other text based content .
But before I do , you need to understand one thing you need to understand that chat GP T isn't gonna help you write a five star script .
A 10 out of 10 script , 100% top notch flawless YouTube video script .
But it is gonna help you speed up the process so much .
I used it on my last video , and that video is doing pretty well .
As you saw throughout this video , I'm no longer scrolling through Google , looking for in depth various answers , chat GP T is actually bringing them to me just by me giving it a few sentences .
But anyway , with that being said , here are six rules that I've written down while doing my research to live by .
When using chat GP T To write better YouTube video scripts .
Number one .
Create your script in multiple prompts number two .
Be specific if the answers are lacking content or context .
Number three .
If something is too complex , ask it to simplify so your viewers can follow a lot .
Number four .
Ask it to reword text to make it more appealing , intriguing or emotional .
And to get some of the secret source in your script , prompt it with what's something not many people know about X Or what's a common misconception with and with this one ?
I've actually got some really good answers , and I've learned some information that even I didn't know about certain topics .
And then finally , number six , Remember , don't just blatantly copy and paste curate your script from the answers you get .
