Prompt:
"Act as an expert social media growth strategist specializing in the 2026 cross-platform algorithms for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook. I want you to create a high-retention short-form video script about [Insert Your Topic Here].
Follow this exact multi-platform viral framework:
The 3-Second Hook: Use a high-psychology opener (choose from loss-aversion, specific curiosity, or a pattern-interrupt) that forces viewers to stop scrolling. No generic openings.
The Body (The Loop): Keep the pacing aggressive. Deliver one massive, actionable insight or a surprising shift in perspective with zero fluff. Keep the total script under 45 seconds.
On-Screen Text Layout: Provide word-by-word or line-by-line visual text prompts designed for silent viewers.
The Algorithmic CTA: End with a comment-trigger question or an action that drives shares/saves rather than basic likes.
Output the result clearly structured into: [Visual Cue], [On-Screen Text Overlay], [Spoken Audio Script], and [Optimized Caption & Hashtags]."
Part 2: Universal High-Performing Text Overlays (Copy & Paste)
Algorithms push content that keeps eyes glued to the screen. Use these proven text-on-screen hooks during the first 3 seconds:
The Mistake/Warning Hook (Highest Shareability):
"Stop doing [Common Action] if you want any reach this month."
The Specific Curiosity Hook:
"This is why your [Instagram/YouTube/Facebook] views stall at 200."
The Insider Secret Hook:
"Things in [Your Niche] that feel completely illegal to know."
The Pattern Interrupt:
"Everything you’ve been told about [Topic] is a lie. Proof:"
