You just enter a short topic. Something like “SEO for beginners,” “AI tools for startups,” or “how to cook fast meals.” The tool takes that input and generates video idea prompts designed specifically for YouTube Shorts. These ideas are structured to be quick, clear, and easy to film—perfect for the 60-second format YouTube Shorts is built around.

Coming up with Shorts ideas consistently is hard, especially if you want your videos to get views and actually help grow your channel. This tool helps by giving you ready-to-use video prompts that are:

• Short-form friendly: The ideas are tailored for quick, straight-to-the-point content.
• SEO-aware: The suggestions are designed to help you target relevant keywords and search interest.
• Useful for repurposing: You can turn blog posts, tutorials, or even FAQs into Shorts using the prompts.
• Great for testing topics: If you want to test content quickly before turning it into a longer video, Shorts are perfect—and this tool helps you get started fast.

It’s also ideal if you’re trying to tie in Shorts with a broader SEO or content strategy. For more on that, you might find this guide on global SEO software helpful.

You’ll get the best results when your input is specific. Instead of something broad like “marketing,” try something more focused like “email marketing tips for SaaS founders” or “how to get your first SEO client.”

Other quick tips:

• Use keywords your audience might search for.
• Mention your niche or target audience if possible.
• Don’t try to cram multiple topics into one prompt—keep it tight.

You can run multiple versions of the same topic to see different angles. You’ll often uncover ideas you didn’t think of, which is great for staying consistent on Shorts.
