Prompts for content creators

Prompts for video ideas and scripts, podcast episodes and audio, blog posts, newsletters, social posts, titles, thumbnails and content planning.

These prompts are for people who publish on their own channels: YouTubers, streamers, podcasters, bloggers, newsletter writers and social accounts. They are split between deciding what to make, writing it, and producing it.

The Creator Assistant works across a solo creator's whole operation: ideas, production, titles and thumbnails, audience analytics and sponsorships. The Content Strategy Assistant plans what to make and on which channels, including an editorial calendar and what to stop making.

For writing, the Video Content Assistant goes from idea to hooks, script and shot list, and the Script Writer writes scripts timed to the slot and synced with on-screen visuals. Podcasters can use the Podcast Assistant for episode plans, guest research and show notes. The Blogging Assistant, Newsletter Assistant and Social Media Assistant each cover their format, and the Headline and Title Generator writes video titles and subject lines without misleading clickbait.

The technical side has separate prompts. The Video Creation Assistant covers shooting, editing and export settings with the gear you have, and the Audio and Podcasting Assistant covers mics, recording, mixing and loudness targets. Before publishing, the Fact Checking Assistant gives each claim in a script a verdict and its sources.

Paste a prompt in as instructions or a first message, with your request in the bracketed slot at the end; How to use these prompts has more.
