  1. 0:00Storytelling is the difference between
  2. 0:02content that gets views and content that
  3. 0:05actually makes money. But, here's the
  4. 0:07problem. Most people [music] aren't born
  5. 0:09good storytellers. And if English isn't
  6. 0:11your first language, it gets even
  7. 0:12harder. You try using ChatGPT or other
  8. 0:15AI tools, and [music] yeah, they help,
  9. 0:17but only if you already know what to
  10. 0:19ask. Otherwise, you just get [music]
  11. 0:21generic, boring scripts. Hiring writers
  12. 0:23doesn't really fix it, either. Most of
  13. 0:25them are doing the exact same thing,
  14. 0:28prompting AI and copy-pasting the
  15. 0:30output. So, what do you do when you're
  16. 0:32on your own? When you don't have a team,
  17. 0:35you don't have time, and you still want
  18. 0:37to create content that actually works?
  19. 0:39[music] In this video, I'll show you how
  20. 0:41to use AI the right way, and a few
  21. 0:42simple techniques that turn [music]
  22. 0:44average ideas into stories people
  23. 0:45actually watch. Once you get this part
  24. 0:47right, everything else gets easier.
  25. 0:51Now, for making AI work, one crucial
  26. 0:53thing we need is data. The more you give
  27. 0:56that baby the right food, the more it
  28. 0:58grows in a healthy and useful way. So,
  29. 1:00you might ask, "Doesn't AI already have
  30. 1:03data? Why should we do the work?" The
  31. 1:05problem isn't that AI lacks data. The
  32. 1:08problem is that there is so much data
  33. 1:09that you can't really extract useful
  34. 1:11things from it. So, let's say I want to
  35. 1:13make videos about systems. A couple of
  36. 1:15channels I like to follow are How Money
  37. 1:17Works and How History Works. I really
  38. 1:19love the creator's storytelling tone.
  39. 1:22Then, all we need to do is choose three
  40. 1:23to five videos that got good views in
  41. 1:26the past months, copy their transcripts,
  42. 1:29and give them to the AI. This part is
  43. 1:31easy. All you need to do is find your
  44. 1:33favorite channel with good storytelling
  45. 1:34and copy the transcripts. But, this was
  46. 1:37the easy part. After you gather the
  47. 1:39transcripts and copy and paste them into
  48. 1:41Notepad, Word, or wherever you store
  49. 1:43them, we're going to give the AI the
  50. 1:45correct prompt. You can use Gemini or
  51. 1:48ChatGPT for this.
  52. 1:50Now, for this part, you don't actually
  53. 1:52need a complicated prompt. The prompt
  54. 1:54itself can be generated by AI based on
  55. 1:57the data you give it. Here's what I say
  56. 1:59to ChatGPT. "I'm going to make YouTube
  57. 2:01videos. I'll give you transcript
  58. 2:03examples from videos I like. I like the
  59. 2:06tone, the humor, and the mystery in the
  60. 2:08storytelling.
  61. 2:10Based on these three examples, first
  62. 2:12analyze them, then generate a structured
  63. 2:14prompt preset that I can use in AI tools
  64. 2:17like Gemini or ChatGPT." Then, you copy
  65. 2:19and paste your examples into ChatGPT and
  66. 2:21wait for the generated prompt.
  67. 2:24As you can see, it has a clear
  68. 2:26structure, things like topic, style, and
  69. 2:29output format.
  70. 2:30All you have to do is replace the topic,
  71. 2:32the duration, and your audience, then
  72. 2:34paste it into a new chat with the AI,
  73. 2:36and see how accurately it generates the
  74. 2:38script for you. I've put both the prompt
  75. 2:40and the results in a link in the
  76. 2:42description, so you can try it yourself.
  77. 2:44Let me know in the comments if this
  78. 2:46video worked for you.
