The CORRECT Way to Write YouTube Scripts with ChatGPT (6 RULES)

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

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 ?

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

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 .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

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 .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

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 ?

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

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 .

And with that being said , thank you for watching this video .
