AI Training: Tutorial of the Day

🎬 Writing a YouTube Script with AI

🛠 Step-by-Step Guide: Write a YouTube Script with AI

1. Define Your Video Objective
Start by answering:
  • What is the topic of the video?

  • Who is the target audience?

  • What action do you want viewers to take (subscribe, comment, visit website)?

🧠 Prompt Example:
“Write a YouTube script for a 5-minute video on ‘Top 5 AI Tools for Content Creators’ targeting beginner YouTubers.”

2. Structure the Script Like a Pro
Break your video into standard sections:
  • Hook (0:00–0:15) – Grab attention with a question or bold statement.

  • Intro (0:15–0:30) – Briefly introduce yourself and what the video covers.

  • Main Content (0:30–4:30) – Present your key points, step-by-step or in list format.

  • Call to Action (4:30–5:00) – Ask viewers to like, comment, or subscribe.

🧠 Prompt Example:
“Generate a YouTube script for a tutorial video, including a hook, intro, 3 main tips, and a call to action.”

3. Personalise the Tone & Style
Want it fun and casual? Or sleek and professional? Tell the AI what vibe you’re going for.

🧠 Prompt Example:
“Write in a casual, witty tone suitable for Gen Z tech-savvy creators.”

4. Add Visual Cues and Annotations
Include cues for B-roll, on-screen text, and transitions.

🧠 Prompt Example:
“Add [B-roll of someone editing on a laptop] or [On-screen text: ‘Tip #1 – Use ChatGPT for Idea Generation’] in the script.”

5. Edit & Rehearse
AI gives you a strong draft, but tweak it to sound like you. Practice reading aloud to keep the flow natural and the timing right.

📌 Pro Tip: Use tools like ChatGPT, Jasper, or Notion AI to draft and refine your scripts quickly. Combine AI with your unique voice for the best results.

Result: A ready-to-film script tailored to your audience, style, and message, with half the effort.

🎥 Happy filming!

AI-Generated Image of the Day

Prompt:  "A weathered fisherman in his late 50s stands on a wooden dock at dawn, holding a fishing net over his shoulder. His face shows years of sun and sea, with a scruffy beard and a calm, thoughtful expression. The early morning mist rises from a still lake behind him, with fishing boats moored nearby and seagulls circling overhead. The lighting is soft and golden, capturing the quiet beauty of the moment. No text in the image."
