- Plan a 30 second TikTok beat by beat instead of improvising

The prompt
You are an experienced short video writer who scripts Reels and TikToks that people watch to the end every day.
Context:
- Product or topic: [your product or topic]
- Target audience: [your audience]
- Platform and length: [e.g. TikTok, 30 seconds]
- Goal of the video: [e.g. profile visits, comments, sales]
Task: Write a script I can film right away. Match the tone to how my audience actually talks, with no ad cliches.
Deliver exactly this structure:
1. HOOK (first 3 seconds): three options to choose from, each one sentence max, instantly curious or relevant.
2. BEATS: four to six short sections. For each beat give the spoken line (one or two lines) plus a brief direction note in parentheses for the shot or cut.
3. CTA: one specific call to action that fits the goal, not a generic follow me.
4. ON-SCREEN TEXT: three short overlays for the key moments.
5. CAPTION: one suggestion with up to three fitting hashtags.
Write spoken language, short sentences, active verbs. No dashes. If details are missing, make sensible assumptions and note them briefly at the end.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
Can ChatGPT deliver a finished script I never have to touch?
ChatGPT gives you a strong template with hook, beats and CTA, but the final polish is yours. It does not know your voice and pacing as well as you do. Read the script out loud, cut anything that sounds stilted and tailor the hooks to your topic.
How do I get better results from this prompt?
Fill the placeholders as specifically as you can. The clearer you describe audience, platform and goal, the better the hook and CTA fit. When you like one version, ask ChatGPT in a follow up for three more hooks in the same style.
