How to Create Video Scripts with ChatGPT

Get video ideas and scripts for job walkthroughs, tips, and social media content.

What You'll Need

Steps

1

Brainstorm video ideas

Use ChatGPT to generate content ideas.

  • Go to chat.openai.com
  • Try: 'Give me 10 short video ideas for a [your trade] business. Make them helpful, interesting, or entertaining. Under 60 seconds each.'
  • Save the ideas you like
  • Good categories: Tips, before/after, day-in-the-life, common mistakes
Tip: Job walkthrough videos perform great — people love seeing the work.
2

Get a script for your first video

Don't wing it — have a plan.

  • Pick one idea from your list
  • Ask ChatGPT: 'Write a 30-second video script for [topic]. I'm a [your trade]. Keep it casual and natural, like I'm talking to a friend.'
  • Review the script — adjust anything that doesn't sound like you
3

Keep it simple and short

Short videos perform best.

  • Aim for 30-60 seconds
  • One main point per video
  • Start with a hook: 'Here's why your [problem] keeps happening...'
  • End with a call-to-action: 'Follow for more tips' or 'Call us if you need help'
4

Record with your phone

You don't need fancy equipment.

  • Good lighting: Face a window or go outside
  • Clean background: No mess visible
  • Hold phone horizontal or vertical (vertical for social media)
  • Speak clearly and a bit slower than normal
Tip: Multiple short takes are fine. You can combine them in editing.
5

Post and share

Get your video out there.

  • Post to Facebook, Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts
  • Add captions — many people watch without sound
  • Include relevant hashtags: #PlumbingTips #HVAClife etc.
  • Post at least 1-2 videos per week for best results

You're Done!

You have video ideas and scripts ready! Video gets 3x more engagement than photos.
