Generating YouTube Titles Using ChatGPT: A Two-Step Process
📌 The creator's first video, originally titled "How I Beat The YouTube Algorithm In Four Steps," gained 10,000 views after the title was rewritten using ChatGPT.
🎬 The core concept is using ChatGPT for title generation but critically applying a second step for refinement to maximize performance.
📈 Titles matter significantly; using a title like "How I Grew YouTube Secretly Like Dominating" resulted in better engagement compared to the initial title.

Step 1: Generating Title Ideas with ChatGPT
💻 Access the ChatGPT website and provide a detailed explanation of your video's content.
✍️ Prompt ChatGPT with a description of the video's theme and the desired outcome for the viewer (e.g., inspiring others).
🧩 You can specify constraints such as length (e.g., under 50 characters for Shorts) or required elements (e.g., including "4 Steps").
🗣️ If your audience is primarily Hindi-speaking, you can request titles in English but simplified, or use Hinglish terms for better connection.

Step 2: Altering and Refining the Raw Title (YouTube Guidelines)
🧐 The titles from ChatGPT need refinement based on YouTube's official tips for accuracy and discoverability.
🎯 Be Accurate: Ensure the title precisely represents the video content to avoid high bounce rates from unsatisfied viewers.
🔑 Keyword Placement: Place the most important keywords near the beginning of the title as viewers often only read the first few words, enhancing discoverability.
❌ Capitalization and Emojis: Avoid using all caps; use capitalization selectively for emphasis (e.g., emphasizing a word like "SECRET"). Use emojis sparingly and thoughtfully, as they count towards the character limit (approx. 72 characters for standard titles).

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Always refine ChatGPT's output; it provides a great starting point, but manual optimization based on YouTube best practices is crucial.
➡️ Prioritize placing key keywords at the start of the title to capture attention from scrolling users.
➡️ Combine suggestions from multiple generated titles if two options are strong, creating a hybrid, optimized title.
➡️ Remember that AI is not always perfect; if the generated titles feel inauthentic or don't align with your brand, they should not be used.
