Use ChatGPT To Get Content Ideas From Other Creators

Great creators borrow from other great creators.

They take inspiration from their content.

They analyze what works for other creators and put their own spin on it.

Ever notice how every popular YouTube thumbnail appears to have the same features?

Vivid colors, surprised facial expressions, graphics, and so on.

This happens with every type of content.

Creators mimic other creators.

Don’t get me wrong.

Plagiarism in content creation should never be tolerated.

But there’s a difference between stealing and “stealing like an artist”.

Here’s a little ChatGPT trick I use to generate content ideas from other creators’ content.

More specifically, from Youtube creators.

Whether you’re a blogger, a Tik Toker, or a YouTuber, you can take inspiration from popular YouTube video titles and use them to generate your own content ideas.

Supercharge the process with ChatGPT.

Here’s what you do:

1. Find a YouTube channel you like. The niche should be related to your own niche but doesn’t need to be exactly the same.

2. Sort the channel’s videos by popularity.

3. Drag your cursor down the grid of that creator’s videos and copy around 20 of the video titles to your clipboard (Ctrl + C).

4. Paste the video titles into the ChatGPT prompt template below and fill in the details of the type of content you produce.

The Prompt Template 🤖:

Here’s an example.

I used this technique (and the video titles from the screenshot above) to generate content ideas for a blog in the US travel niche:

Try it out for yourself.

Take inspiration from other creators and use it to create your own great content.

Enjoy.
