Running out of video ideas is not a creativity problem. It is a research problem. You are trying to invent demand instead of finding it.
These prompts flip that around. One turns the ten most-searched questions about your topic into ten video titles. Another reads your last ten posts and tells you which topics earned the engagement and why. A third gives you ten opening lines engineered to stop a scroll. Three of the ten idea prompts are shown in full below.

Why these prompts work when free lists don’t
Every prompt in this library is built from the same four parts. That is the whole difference between a prompt that returns an essay and a prompt that returns something you can send, print, or ship.
1. RoleTell the model who it is. “Act as a business strategist” changes the vocabulary and the confidence of the answer.
2. ContextYour real situation, in the [brackets]. Revenue, city, competitor, the awkward detail. This is the part most people skip and the part that does the most work.
3. FormatExactly what comes back: five emails with subject lines, a table of weekly milestones, three description styles. If you don’t name the shape, you get prose.
4. Success criteriaWhat good looks like. “Irresistible without being cheesy.” “Direct but kind.” “Be brutally honest.” This is what stops the filler.
Worked example, from this page:
I create content about [niche]. Generate 20 video ideas that would perform well on YouTube right now based on current trends.
Role and success criteria are stated, the format is implied by what it asks for, and every [bracket] is a context slot for you to fill. Fill them with real numbers and real names and the output is a deliverable, not a draft.
How to use these prompts
Be specific about the niche in the bracket. Fitness returns ideas you have seen a hundred times. Kettlebell training for people over forty with bad knees returns ideas that already have an audience attached. The narrower the bracket, the less editing you do afterwards.
Three mistakes that waste a good prompt
- Asking for ideas without giving the model your channel history. The analysis prompt exists precisely so it can pattern-match what already worked for you.
- Chasing a trend two months late. Run the trend prompt weekly, not on a desperate Sunday night.
- Picking the idea you find most interesting instead of the one with the clearest search intent.
Questions people ask
Will ChatGPT know what is trending on YouTube right now?
Not perfectly, and it should not pretend to have live analytics. What it does well is reason about angle, title structure, and hook for your niche. Pair it with your own YouTube Studio search data and the ideas get sharply better.
How do I get from an idea to a script?
There is a separate scripting category with ten prompts, including a full script structure and a first-thirty-seconds intro prompt. The idea prompts feed straight into them.
Are these only for YouTube?
No. Two of the ten are built for TikTok and Reels, including 15 short-form ideas you can film in under thirty minutes with a phone. The rest adapt by changing the platform in the bracket.
