Step 1: Generate Scripts With ChatGPT

1. Access ChatGPT and Start a New Chat

Begin by accessing ChatGPT and initiating a new chat session. This is where you’ll generate the scripts for your YouTube Shorts.

To ensure ChatGPT produces relevant content, craft a detailed prompt. For instance:

Example Prompt: “Create 10 script outlines for YouTube Shorts about AI prompts. Each script should have a main idea and three key points. Format the output as a table.”

3. Review and Refine Scripts

Once ChatGPT generates the scripts, carefully review them. Make any necessary refinements to ensure the content aligns with your goals.

4. Copy Scripts to Google Sheets

After finalizing the scripts, copy them into a Google Sheet for easy access and organization.
