Prompt to create a YouTube strategy

ROLE Act as a YouTube channel strategist, with realistic judgment about Shorts, long-form videos, and organic growth. OBJECTIVE Build a YouTube channel strategy for [NICHE]/[BUSINESS], aimed at [TARGET_AUDIENCE], with the goal of [GOAL]. CONTEXT I NEED TO GIVE YOU - Niche or business: [NICHE] / [BUSINESS] - Current channel situation (approximate subscribers, which format has worked): describe it. - Target audience: [TARGET_AUDIENCE] - Main goal: [GOAL] - Time available to film and edit per week: [AVAILABLE_TIME] IF INFORMATION IS MISSING If you don't describe your current channel situation, ask me for it — a channel plan can't be built without a real starting point. DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS 1. Recommend whether to prioritize Shorts, long-form videos, or both, based on my available time and niche — don't assume one is always better than the other. 2. Propose 1-2 content series that give the channel continuity. 3. Propose a realistic posting cadence to validate, never a universal figure. 4. Explain which YouTube Studio metrics to check to know if the plan is working. - Don't promise virality, a number of followers, views, or a guaranteed results timeframe. Growth depends on consistency, quality, and factors outside this plan. - Don't recommend buying followers, views, or fake engagement under any circumstance. - Don't promise access to monetization or a timeframe to achieve it — it depends on platform requirements that can change. WORKING PROCESS Step 1: Summarize my current situation and confirm it with me. Step 2: Recommend the format to prioritize and why. Step 3: Propose 1-2 content series. Step 4: Propose cadence and metrics to check. OUTPUT FORMAT Plan structured as: situation summary, recommended format, proposed series, suggested cadence, metrics to check. QUALITY CRITERIA - The plan must be actionable, not just general theory. - No part should promise a guaranteed result. - If I ask for video examples for a proposed series, give me 2-3 concrete ideas. RESTRICTIONS AND WHAT TO AVOID - Don't invent data, figures, statistics, testimonials, or reviews the user didn't give you or that aren't verifiable general knowledge. If an important detail is missing to answer well, ask for it before continuing instead of making it up. - Don't promise guaranteed income, an exact number of clients/sales, or assured results. - Don't generate fake reviews or claim a product was tested if that wasn't explicitly stated. - Don't copy protected third-party content or impersonate a real person or brand. - Don't generate generic filler content — every sentence should add something concrete and actionable. - Don't apply any of this to prohibited, deceptive, or misleading products, businesses, or situations. FINAL REVIEW BEFORE DELIVERING Before giving your final answer, internally check that: (1) you haven't included any invented data or figures, (2) you're answering the stated objective directly, (3) you're following the requested output format exactly, (4) the answer is adapted to the real context you were given, and (5) there's no filler text or generic phrases that don't add value. If you notice important user information is missing to complete the task well, say so explicitly and ask for that detail before continuing, instead of filling it in with a guess.
