30 Short Videos from Pain Points to a Scheduled CSV Plan7 phasesNewShort Video ScriptsBuilds a month of short-form videos: 10 audience pain points, 3 hooks for each, 60-second PAS scripts, b-roll lists, captions with search keywords, a CSV posting schedule and a rewrite of the remaining posts based on 7 days of results.
  1. Phase 1 — 10 pain points
    Role: you are a strategist focused on viral growth.
    
    My niche: [your niche]
    
    Task: analyze this niche and identify the 10 pain points with the most tension that my audience is feeling right now. Number them from 1 to 10.
  2. Phase 2 — 3 hooks per pain point
    Here are the 10 pain points:
    [paste the 10 pain points]
    
    Task: for each pain point, write 3 bold hooks that interrupt the usual scrolling pattern.
    
    Rules:
    - 80 characters maximum per hook
    - no clickbait: rely on curiosity gaps instead
    
    Number the hooks (1 to 30) so I can refer to them later.
  3. Phase 3 — 60-second script
    Hook to use: [hook number and text]
    
    Task: turn this hook into a script for a 60-second short-form video, structured with the Problem-Agitate-Solve framework.
    
    Rule: every sentence stays under 10 words, so the pacing feels fast.
  4. Phase 4 — B-roll and text overlays
    Script:
    [paste the script]
    
    Task: create a list of b-roll shots in sequence for this script. For each shot, add specific lighting cues and the timestamp of the text overlay. The overall look is minimalist.
  5. Phase 5 — Caption with search keywords
    Video script:
    [paste the script]
    
    Task:
    1. Write a caption of exactly 2 sentences for this video. The last sentence is an open-ended question.
    2. Generate 3 hidden keywords that help the video show up in search.
  6. Phase 6 — CSV posting schedule
    All 30 posts (hooks, scripts, captions and keywords):
    [paste all 30 posts]
    
    Task: organize the 30 posts into a CSV table with these columns: Date, Hook, Script, Caption, Keywords. Schedule one post per day at 11:00 AM.
    
    Return the CSV inside a code block so I can import it into my publishing tool.
  7. Phase 7 — Feedback loop after 7 days
    Reach metrics from the first 7 days:
    [paste your reach data]
    
    Remaining 23 posts:
    [paste the remaining posts]
    
    Task:
    1. Analyze the data and tell me which style of hook performed best.
    2. Rewrite the remaining 23 posts so they lean fully into that angle.
