How I trained ChatGPT to write $500 YouTube scripts in 2 minutes 🧵 The real breakdown (with prompt stacks, system setup, and quality control. First off: Most of y’all use ChatGPT like it’s Google. That’s why your scripts feel like Wikipedia. Good prompts ≠ magic. You need: – Structure – Style – Voice – AND context stacking Otherwise it spits out mush. What makes a $500 script? It’s this: – It hooks in 5 seconds – It loops curiosity every 20 seconds – It builds toward an emotional/psychological payoff – It sounds human Most AI scripts are linear. I build retention loops. Here’s the exact structure I inject into ChatGPT for ANY niche: “You are a professional YouTube scriptwriter. You write faceless, documentary-style scripts that keep viewers watching with emotional pacing and story arcs. Write a [X-sentence] script in [niche]. Use first-person POV. Dramatic tone. Structure: – Hook (1 para) – Setup (1 para) – Tension (3–4 paras) – Twist – Payoff – Resolution Inject curiosity every 4-5 sentences. End every paragraph with a soft cliffhanger.” ^ Save that. That’s the base prompt. But it gets 10x better when you layer in context. Here’s how I “train” it 👇 Step 1: Feed it 1–2 examples of scripts I love (use Claude or GPT-4o, longer context window) Step 2: Highlight what’s working in the example Ex: “Notice how the twist happens exactly at the midpoint…” Step 3: Say: “Write in this style. Mimic this pacing. Do not summarize, rebuild from scratch.” Now it’s learning your flavor. I don’t write from scratch anymore. I stack prompts. Here’s how the workflow looks: Prompt #1 → Idea to Structure “Give me a viral idea in [niche] with a built-in twist + emotional tension.” Prompt #2 → Structure to Script “Write a 6-minute script for this idea. Use [structure above].” Prompt #3 → Punch-up “Add emotional weight. Replace passive lines with vivid verbs. Cut any filler.” Prompt #4 → Retention hooks “Add curiosity cliffhangers at the end of each paragraph.” Prompt #5 → Final QA “Highlight any clichés. Suggest punchier alternatives.” Done. Still sounds robotic? That’s because you’re skipping this step: the 15% human pass. AI gets you 85% of the way. The last 15% is you: – Rewriting stiff phrases – Adding human asides / humor / POV – Shifting sentences to hit harder No script should feel machine-made. It should feel like someone lived it. You can use Claude for this too. Just play around a bit until you get satisfied. Tools I use for this system: – GPT-4o (main writing/research model) – Claude 3.5 (context + retention analysis) – Notion (script vault + prompt bank) AI is the engine. You’re still the fucking driver.
