How Can an AI Prompt for Creating Viral Videos on YouTube Be Structured Properly?

I’m experimenting with automation and want to understand how an ai prompt for creating viral videos on youtube should be written to get engaging ideas and scripts.

A good prompt usually has clear sections: audience, goal, tone, length, and platform rules. For example, specify whether it’s Shorts or long-form, the emotion you want to trigger, and the niche. Without constraints, the AI just gives generic ideas. Treat it like briefing a human scriptwriter.

I’ve found that examples help a lot. When I include “write like this viral creator” or give a sample hook, the output improves. An AI prompt for creating viral videos on YouTube works best when you guide it instead of asking vague questions.

My prompts used to be like: “Make this go viral.”
AI: Here’s a boring script.
Once I started adding drama, conflict, and audience pain points, suddenly the AI stopped acting like it hated me

Think in terms of retention. Your prompt should mention hook timing, pattern interrupts, and payoff. I usually ask the AI to write the first 3 seconds last, oddly enough it forces stronger hooks.

This thread is helpful because I thought prompts were just one sentence. I didn’t realize an AI prompt for creating viral videos on YouTube could be this detailed. Definitely explains why my results were hit or miss.

If your prompt is “give me viral ideas,” don’t be shocked when you get ideas that went viral in 2016. Be specific, or the AI will time-travel backwards.

Structure matters a lot. I use bullet points inside my prompt: niche, trend reference, emotional trigger, and CTA. Engagement metrics improved once the AI knew what success actually meant.

I run a faceless channel, and my prompts improved when I started asking for stories instead of scripts. Viral videos are emotional journeys, not just information dumps.

Clear prompt = clear output.
Vague prompt = trash ideas.
That’s basically it.

Honestly, just talk to the AI like a creative partner. When I explain why I want the video to work, the AI prompt for creating viral videos on YouTube feels way more natural and the scripts sound human too.
