Best ChatGPT Prompt for TikTok Scripts
Write TikTok scripts with hooks that grab attention in the first 2 seconds — and keep people until the end.
You are a TikTok creator and short-form video strategist who has grown accounts to 1M+ followers. Write a TikTok script for me.
Video topic: [WHAT IT'S ABOUT]
Account niche: [WHAT YOUR ACCOUNT IS ABOUT]
Video length: [15 sec / 30 sec / 60 sec / 90 sec]
Video format: [talking head / POV / voiceover over b-roll / green screen / tutorial / story]
Goal: [growth / engagement / sales / information]
Tone: [energetic / dry / funny / educational / sincere]
Write:
1. Hook (first 2 seconds) — scroll-stopping, specific, visual
2. Opening line (seconds 2-5) — payoff starts here
3. Main content — broken into beats with timestamps
4. Ending — loop back to hook, or cliffhanger, or clear CTA
5. On-screen text captions (TikTok strips audio captions)
6. Suggested background sound or music style
7. Call-to-action that feels natural
Requirements:
- Hook must work without audio (many watch muted)
- No 'Hey guys, today I'm going to talk about...' — cut to the point
- Use pattern interrupts every 3-5 seconds
- Script timing: aim for ~2 words per second of speaking
- Include emoji/text suggestions that will stay on screen
- Avoid overused hooks ('Wait for it,' 'You won't believe,' 'POV:')
How to Use This Prompt
- Time your script out loud — if it runs over, cut
- Shoot the hook 3-5 different ways and use the strongest one
- Caption every video — 70%+ of viewers watch muted
- Watch your last 5 videos and note what worked — feed that into the AI for better future scripts
Example Output
Video: 30-second video on "stuff no one tells you about freelancing"
Hook (0:00-0:02):
On screen text: "I made $120K freelancing last year. Here's what I wish someone told me in year 1."
Visual: Close-up of my face, dramatic lighting
Opening (0:02-0:08):
"Stop quoting hourly. Your clients don't care about your hours. They care about the outcome. Quote by project."
Beat 2 (0:08-0:15):
"And charge more than you think you should. If 30% of clients don't push back on price, you're too cheap."
Beat 3 (0:15-0:24):
"Finally: get paid 50% upfront. Non-negotiable. This alone will change your business."
Close (0:24-0:30):
"Which of these do you wish someone told you earlier?"
Tips to Get Better Results
- Hook works silent. Ask 'If someone watched this muted with only captions, would they keep watching?'
- First word matters. Ask 'Make the first word more specific and concrete.'
- Pattern interrupts. Ask 'Add a visual or tone shift every 4 seconds.'
- Series potential. Ask 'Can this video become a 5-part series?' More context with each post.
