10 Video Prompts To Use In ChatGPT For Marketers

Since its release in November 2022, ChatGPT has turned the business world on its head. The AI chatbot has proven able to write business strategies, website code, and even whole novels.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

With Google soon set to launch its own AI-powered chatbot, Google Bard, there’s no telling where AI could take us. Right now, marketers are scrambling to figure out how this powerful new tool can be used to their advantage. Regarding video content, the potential for small and medium-sized businesses is tremendous.

To help you harness that power, Viddyoze has created ten unique video prompts that you can use to generate ideas, inspire creativity in your writing, conduct SEO research, write video scripts, and much more.

The following video prompts have been created or tested by the Viddyoze team. Using our extensive video marketing expertise, we’ve made 10 video writing prompts that you can use to streamline your marketing efforts, whatever your products.

Each of the video prompts can be copied and pasted directly into ChatGPT. Ensure you copy the below video prompts precisely as they are written.

 

TikTok challenges are an awesome way to gain brand exposure. In the US alone, the app has 150 million users every month.

With that in mind, we’ve created a video prompt to generate ideas for the next viral challenge. The major benefit here is the time saved brainstorming. This simple prompt generates ten ideas in a matter of seconds.

Video prompts like this one favor businesses targeting Gen Z customers, TikTok’s largest user group. The major downside to this writing prompt for video is that ChatGPT’s knowledge only runs up to 2021. As new versions are released, this is very likely to be updated.

The general quality of the ideas ChatGPT was average. There were a few stinkers, such as The Slow-Mo Glam Challenge: Get dolled up in your fanciest outfit and film yourself walking in slow motion, striking poses, and generally feeling fabulous.

But they did give us the odd winner, like the Virtual Cooking Challenge: Host a virtual cooking competition with your friends or followers. Challenge them to cook a particular dish or ingredient and have them share their recipes and videos.

One tip to get more relevant TikTok ideas for your business is changing the list of challenges in the prompt. The ones we’ve provided are a general list of viral challenges. However, if you alter this list only to include industry-specific challenges to your niche, ChatGPT will do a better job of suggesting challenges that will mobilize your target audience.

 

A video sitemap is a simple way to boost your site’s SEO power. However, creating one can take time and effort.

Video sitemaps were added to Google Search Console in 2022 to help website owners generate more organic traffic from their video content by providing more information to the search engine.

Given how technical a video sitemap is, this is perfect for people who need help understanding code, SEO, or both. You’ll save heaps of time using this video prompt and get into Google’s good books.

It is important to note that ChatGPT guessed some of the information when we ran this prompt. As with anything AI-related, all data should be fact-checked by a person before being submitted to Google.

In general, the sitemap was useable and worth running the prompt. Still, it would be wise to include more specific information about the video author and timestamps when providing the list of URLs.

 

Marketing expert Matt Diggity created this next video prompt as a great way to save time conducting YouTube SEO keyword research.

Here are two examples of secondary keywords this prompt provided when used with the target keyword “video marketing”:

1. “How to do video marketing” – This keyword variation targets people looking for instructional or tutorial content on how to get started with video marketing.
2. “Video marketing trends” – This keyword variation targets people who want to stay updated with the latest trends and best practices in video marketing.

The chatbot provides ideas plus a summary of the kind of person who might be searching for this keyword.

For SEO professionals, you’ll know how important achieving topical authority for your website or YouTube channel is. The beauty of this prompt is that it instructs ChatGPT to provide keywords that cover different search intents, meaning each keyword will be unique, and creating the suggested content will help you achieve topical authority much faster.

Again, this is a definite timesaver, as it only takes a few seconds, and you can run video prompts like this repeatedly.

One thing to remember: OpenAi’s model won’t give you search volumes (the frequency people search for specific keywords each month), so you’ll need to run that through a separate tool, such as Ahrefs.

 

This prompt is purely to inspire creativity. It will give you a range of marketing video ideas specific to your industry.

When we ran it for the dental industry, the ChatGPT gave us the following:

• Before-and-after videos showcasing dental procedure results.
• Videos showcasing the latest technology and equipment used in dental offices.
• Time-lapse videos that show the progression of a dental procedure over some time.
• Dental procedure animation videos that show how specific treatments are performed in a step-by-step format.

All of the above are accurate for the sector. The chatbot also provided a short description of the video type and how each one might be used. For businesses new to video marketing, this video prompt gives you a good starting point from which to make waves in your target market.

If nothing else, this is a great resource for brainstorming ahead of your next marketing meeting. You could even run video prompts like this during presentations to inspire attendees and spark a discussion.

 

Video storytelling allows brands to elevate their content to the next level. It’s also great for business, boosting landing page conversion rates by up to 30% (Search Engine Watch).

The problem for most brands is that they think story-led content is too difficult to make. With the OpenAI large language model chatbot, that doesn’t have to be the case.

One of our video writing prompts instructs the chatbot to develop a series of formulas that can be used to transform any message into a story. When we ran this one, the results were impressive. The chatbot returned five ideas, with a detailed description of each. Here’s one example:

The Hero’s Journey: This is a classic storytelling formula where the protagonist faces challenges and obstacles to achieve a goal. You can use this formula by highlighting your customers’ challenges and how your product can help to overcome them.

This formula is a classic. Using this, and others like it, you can develop a video into an epic story and deliver better results. Video prompts like this one are ideal for marketers looking to take their creativity to the next level.

 

The secret to effective video marketing prompts is attention to detail. The more information you give a Large Language Model (LLM) chatbot, the better the outcome.

The following story prompt asks the chatbot to create a complete script for a marketing video. The video prompt contains essential business information, including the target audience, product, and the type of video required.

The chatbot provided a decent script, executing all our instructions accurately. The writing was good and could be used as it was. Even if you don’t use the script, it’s a great starting point. You can use the story to inspire new ideas or edit it until you are happy with the outcome.

Whichever route you take, this video prompt is an excellent timesaver for businesses with limited resources. While it won’t produce a more emotional or thought-provoking script than a human, the result is good enough to justify its use.

 

YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world, with billions of users tuning in every month to get their content hit.

Your videos must be SEO optimized to YouTube’s specifications to generate as many views as possible.

ChatGPT can help improve your SEO using some carefully crafted video writing prompts. The one we have used instructs the chatbot to write 10 video titles that follow YouTube SEO best practices.

Not only will these video titles generate your channel traffic, but they’re also written in an engaging manner that makes people want to click through.

Aside from being a timesaver, this writing prompt is great for marketers with limited SEO knowledge. With some tweaking, it can also be used to write other metadata, such as the video’s description. For more detailed advice about SEO, check out this article.

 

When you upload a video to YouTube, the platform automatically generates captions. These captions are good for SEO and engagement and are well worth creating.

Generally, the captions are pretty good, but they need a little tidying up. The chatbot will proofread and edit those captions using video writing prompts, like the one we’re about to show you. Here’s how to do it:

1. Download the captions from YouTube
2. Copy the captions into ChatGPT
3. Add the following writing prompt

For the most part, the chatbot will proofread accurately. However, it occasionally slips up. Even with video writing prompts, the bot isn’t perfect. Run the corrected text through another editor, such as Grammarly, to ensure high accuracy.

 

The chatbot can help you translate your subtitles for international markets if you publish content in multiple languages. However, translation can only be done within the same chat dashboard as the previous point about creating your video captions.

Again, while this will save you time, the translation may need improvement; it could have some mistakes and errors. It’s worth running the whole thing through another program, for example, Google Translate, to ensure the message is clear.

While Google Translate could be better, you’ll be able to see whether or not the message is clear. If the videos are successful, you may want to use a certified translation service as your output grows. Given the scope for expansion into international markets, this is an effective way to test the water.

 

Another timesaver, the chatbot can help you convert your existing videos into SEO-optimized blog posts.

Repurposing video content is a great way to produce new marketing materials on a budget. For example, suppose you have a YouTube video that is generating a healthy amount of organic traffic on the platform. In that case, the same content will likely drive organic traffic to your website if transcribed and edited into a blog post.

Repurposing is about squeezing every last drop of value out of your marketing materials, and ChatGPT will help you do just that.

While the AI tool will produce coherent SEO copy, it is unlikely to be particularly thrilling or inventive from a creativity standpoint. For context, some experts have likened ChatGPT’s essays to the level of an average college student.

But considering that you already have the video script or recording transcript available, ChatGPT doesn’t need to think up anything new, so you should be safe when using the content it provides on your website.
