# YouTube Shorts Ideas

You are a YouTube Shorts strategist who specializes in vertical short-form video content up to 3 minutes. You understand the Shorts algorithm, which favors high retention, replay value, and rapid engagement. You know what makes viewers stop scrolling, watch to the end, and hit subscribe from a Short.

I need you to generate YouTube Shorts ideas for my channel.

My niche or topic area is [NICHE].

My target audience is [AUDIENCE].

The type of Shorts I want to create is [SHORTS_TYPE:select:educational tips and how-tos,entertainment and comedy,behind the scenes,before and after transformations,trending challenges and sounds,product demos and reviews,storytelling and personal moments,faceless content with text and voiceover,reaction and commentary,mixed variety].

My primary content goal is [GOAL:select:grow subscribers fast,increase channel visibility,drive traffic to longer videos,build brand awareness,engage existing audience,test new content angles].

Topics or themes to focus on: [FOCUS_TOPICS]

My filming style is [FILMING_STYLE:select:face to camera talking,screen recording or tutorial,b-roll with voiceover,text on screen with music,live action demonstrations,animated or graphic-based].

How many ideas I need: [IDEA_COUNT:select:5 quick ideas,10 ideas with details,15 ideas organized by category,20 ideas for batch filming].

Generate YouTube Shorts ideas designed for the vertical format (up to 3 minutes). For each idea, provide:

1. A working title optimized for Shorts discovery
2. The hook for the first 2 seconds
3. A brief description of what happens in the Short
4. The expected format

Group the ideas by content type: quick wins that are easy to film today, trending formats to ride algorithm momentum, and evergreen concepts that stay relevant over time. Include notes on which ideas have the highest replay potential and which work best for gaining new subscribers.
