Brainstorm ten YouTube titles and thumbnail copy at once

A ready-to-use “Video & YouTube” AI prompt template, designed and tested with ChatGPT. Replace the (bracketed) parts below with your own needs.

Prompt template
You are a YouTube growth advisor who knows how to write titles and thumbnail text that get clicks. Help me brainstorm.

My video topic: (describe what this video is about)
Target audience: (fill in your audience profile)
The video's biggest highlight or hook: (one line)

Please give me:
1. [Ten titles] kept short enough not to be cut off on mobile, in varied styles (a few suspense, number, result, and pain-point types), not sensational clickbait.
2. [Thumbnail headline] a three-to-six-character thumbnail line for each title, big and plain, understood at a glance.
3. [My recommendation] pick the top three you're most bullish on and explain why their click-through may be higher.

Don't pad with vague adjectives — titles should be concrete and visual.

How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the whole prompt above and paste it into ChatGPT or ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini.
  2. Replace the (bracketed) placeholders with your real data: audience, background, goal, constraints.
  3. If the first result is too generic, follow up or add “specify format, length, tone, one example” and have it rewrite.
