This prompt makes your blog post camera-ready in 5 minutes

Draft an outline for a YouTube video from a blog article.

In partnership with

Your blog isn’t dead. It’s just trapped in text.

Meanwhile, YouTube is handing out free traffic like candy, and you’re leaving your best ideas locked in dusty blog posts nobody reads.

Here’s the fix: one killer prompt that flips any blog into a YouTube outline… hooks, stories, tension, the works.

I’ll give you the exact words to copy and paste in a minute.

Built for Managers, Not Engineers

AI isn’t just for developers. The AI Report gives business leaders daily, practical insights you can apply to ops, sales, marketing, and strategy.

No tech jargon. No wasted time. Just actionable tools to help you lead smarter.

Start where it counts.

Why Use This Prompt?

Because right now, you’re wasting your best work.

Here’s what usually happens:

  • You spend 3 hours writing a killer blog.

  • You hit publish.

  • Nothing.

Meanwhile, the same post (turned into a video) can get thousands of views. And YouTube has something your blog doesn’t: an algorithm that actually wants strangers to find you.

That’s free distribution. And you’re ignoring it.

This prompt does the outlining for you. Think of it as training wheels, except instead of falling off and scraping your knees, you look polished and confident on camera.

Best Use Cases

When should you pull this prompt out of your tool belt?

Three big ones:

  • Educational videos You want people to learn from you, not zone out after minute two. This keeps their eyes glued to the screen.

  • Thought leadership rants Got strong opinions? Great. This stops them from spiraling into a chaotic “uncle at Thanksgiving” monologue.

  • Recycling old blogs Your archives aren’t dead. They’re just waiting to be reincarnated as videos that finally get the attention they deserved.

Honestly, if you’ve ever written anything worth reading, it’s worth recording too.

The Prompt (Copy & Paste)

Here’s the good prompt.

Copy, paste, and let it do the heavy lifting:

Prompt:

“You are a YouTube script strategist. Turn the blog article below into a YouTube outline that:

  • Opens with a bold hook (question, joke, or hot take).

  • Breaks into short, punchy sections with subheads.

  • Sprinkles curiosity questions throughout and promises answers later.

  • Adds 1–2 personal ‘scar stories’ (failures, mistakes, awkward moments).

  • Uses a conversational, direct voice. Short sentences. Active verbs. No fluff.

  • Flows with strong transitions that build tension.

  • Ends with a clear payoff and one single call to action.

Output format:

  1. Hook

  2. Introduction (set context, promise value)

  3. Main Points (3–5 sections, each with curiosity hooks + stories)

  4. Payoff (deliver big promised insight)

  5. Call to Action (one clear step for the viewer)

Here’s the blog article: [INSERT BLOG TEXT HERE]”

Tips for Better Results

  • Make the hook spicy. “Here are 5 productivity hacks” puts people to sleep. Try: “Most productivity hacks make you dumber. Here’s the proof.”

  • Don’t skip the scars. Nothing kills trust faster than looking flawless. People want to know you’ve bombed before (because they have too).

  • Use performance notes. Add little cues like [pause], [smirk], [lean in]. It’ll make you look 10x more natural.

  • Bullet points > essays. You’re recording a video, not reading the audiobook of War and Peace.

  • Close the loops. If you ask “Why does everyone quit at week 3?” in the intro, you’d better answer it before the end.

Here’s the part where I’m supposed to be motivational.

So fine:

You don’t need more ideas. You need to use the ones you already have in smarter ways. Every blog you’ve ever written is a YouTube script in disguise. This prompt is the decoder ring.

So dig up that blog post you were proud of… the one that barely got 50 views.

Run it through this prompt.

Record the outline.

Post the video.

Thanks for reading!

Best,
