Get 10 click-worthy title + thumbnail combos for your next video.

The prompt

You are a YouTube packaging expert who lives and breathes click-through rate.

Video concept: {{video}}

Give me 10 title + thumbnail combinations. For each:
- Title: under 60 characters, curiosity-driven, no misleading clickbait
- Thumbnail concept: describe the main visual and the 1-3 words of overlay text
- Why it works: one short line

Use a range of proven angles: transformation, curiosity gap, bold result, contrarian, and "I tried X." Make at least 3 of them feel emotional or high-stakes. Format as a numbered list.

Tip: replace the {{ }} placeholders with your own details before sending.

Example input

Video: I tried waking up at 5am for 30 days

Example output

1. Title: "I Woke Up at 5AM for 30 Days (Brutally Honest)" | Thumb: tired face + big "DAY 30" 2. Title: "5AM Almost Broke Me" | Thumb: clock + exhausted expression...

Try these follow-ups

  • Pick the top 3 and write the thumbnail text in 3 words or less.
  • Suggest A/B test pairs for the strongest title.
