§ 01 · The Hook
The bait, then the rug-pull.
Finding viral ideas has never been the hard part. The hard part is the paralysis that sets in the moment you sit down to make your own version. This video dissolves that paralysis with three apps, one filming rule, and a ChatGPT prompt that does the heavy structural lifting while keeping every word legally and authentically yours.
Where the time goes.

HOOK opening / re-engagementCTA the pitch metaphor
00:00HOOKIn this video, I'm gonna make it so simple for you to find viral ideas, recreate them with your own spin, and film them so that you're not an awkward dork on camera. Welcome to part three of how not to be awkward on camera. Make sure you like this video, that you're subscribed, and let's get right into it.
00:17HOOKAnd three, chattypete. Now the reason you need repost is I can go to my Instagram account, so I can go to this post right here, copy the link, go to repost. Once you download the app, what's gonna happen, you're gonna allow paste,
00:29then you're gonna click here, you're gonna click repost. You're not actually gonna repost it, but just like that, now the video is on my phone.
00:38Bam. That was the video I just reposted. What?
00:40That's so cool. Now, what you're gonna do with this, you're gonna go to video to text. Back like this.
00:48I'm gonna add this video. I'm gonna press start. It's gonna grab all the words that were in that video.
00:54Now what you're gonna do is you're gonna copy this text, gonna go to ChatGPT, and you're gonna say, I am an online coach for personal trainers who are trying to grow an online business.
01:08Please read this video script and help me come up with one similar
01:16but not using the same verbiage. You're gonna paste the text and just like that, you've got a viral video script. Now,
01:24this is pretty good but it's also pretty similar to the video script that I just wrote. So, I'm gonna say I want you to completely rewrite
01:32this and I want it to have more humor and jokes.
01:39HOOKSo now, I'm gonna customize the script because if you just copy somebody's video script, you're plagiarizing. So what you should do is grab the video script as a template and then you can start playing around with it. You can say, I want you to add more sauce.
01:51HOOKI want you to be more cheeky. Want I you to be more direct. I want you to be more straight to the point.
01:55HOOKAnd now you're gonna get a video script that's proven to go viral and you're gonna add your own spin on it which makes it unique and your own. And just like that, now I've got my own video script. Those three apps are and cheek out.
02:08HOOKIf it's too close to your own words, rewrite it in your own words. Add your own personality. Add your own examples.
02:13HOOKI'm gonna say it one more time. Do not fucking plagiarize. Use this as a to come up with viral scripts, but then take those viral scripts and make sure that you make them your own.
02:21So how do you actually find viral videos? Let me show you. Gonna go to Instagram and let's just pretend I'm a fitness coach for women.
02:27I'm gonna search weight loss coach for women. Then once all these results populate, I'm gonna go over to the reels tab. This is gonna show me all of the viral videos for weight loss for women in my niche.
02:35I'm gonna tap the first one.
02:39I'm gonna scroll through. This is an unpopular opinion about weight loss, and I'm telling you though, if you grasp this concept, you're going to be able to lose weight. You do not actually want to lose weight.
02:49You want to experience the feeling. This is good. So I'm gonna grab this video, and we're gonna plug it in our little cheat code.
02:54I'm gonna go to repost. I'm gonna allow paste. Once I allow paste, I'm gonna repost.
02:58This is an ungrounded. Actually gonna post it on Instagram. Then I'm gonna go to video to text.
03:02I'm gonna add the video that I just I'm gonna start the speech recognition. It's giving me the script. I'm gonna copy the text,
03:08then I'm gonna go to chat gbt. I I can use voice to text too because I'm a cheater. I'm an online fitness coach for women who are trying to lose weight, period.
03:15I want you to analyze the following video script that I am putting in, comma, and I want you to write me something similar, comma, on a different subject, comma, using the framework from this video script, period. Make sure that all the words in this video are my own, comma, and not copying the original creator. I'm gonna paste the text.
03:32So it's writing the script right now. This is good. So the original video says, um, this is an unpopular opinion about weight loss.
03:39I'm telling this, grabs this concept. You're not gonna be able lose weight. You don't actually wanna lose weight.
03:43You wanna experience the feelings that you're gonna have losing weight. Here's when I was two hundred pounds. I wanted to lose weight.
03:47Blah blah blah. Now this video script is different. The new one says, this is an unpopular opinion about emotional eating, but if you actually hear me out, it could change everything.
03:55You don't have a food problem. You have an avoidance problem. When I used to binge eat at night, it wasn't because I was actually hungry.
03:59It's because I was stressed out, lonely, or anxious, and food was the way to numb it. But really, what I wanted wasn't the chocolate chips. I wanted the comfort.
04:05I wanted the peace of mind. I wanted to feel like I was in control again. So instead of telling myself stop eating junk, I asked myself, what can I do right now that gives me comfort without food?
04:13Maybe that's just calling a friend, journaling, going for a walk, listening to music. What can I do to feel more in control? Set small wins, track my habits, show myself I'm capable, one promise at a time.
04:21The more I chase those feelings in healthy ways, the less I needed food to do it for me. You don't need more willpower. You need better strategies to meet your emotional needs.
04:28When you start meeting those needs without foods, the cravings will lose their power. That's a banger. That's a banger, Thanks,
04:34ChadGBT. So now, I'm gonna take this video script. I'm gonna film it in a way that doesn't make me look like a fucking awkward dork.
04:40Alright. So now, we're gonna film. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna get my video camera right here.
04:44Put this bad boy right here. Press record. Like I said, natural light's my friend, so the window's right there and I'm gonna film like this.
04:50Now, again, I'm gonna pretend I just have an iPhone tripod stand. I literally am using a ring light. I don't have the ring light on for the sake of this video.
04:55It's because I wanna use natural light to show you guys that you don't need a good lighting in order to set this up. I've got my script right here. Bam bam.
05:01This is my budget set because I'm a broke dork. I'm just joking. Uh, I'm gonna put my script right here.
05:09Gonna do one line at a time. This is an unpopular opinion about emotional eating. Then what I do is I change up the scene a little bit because I don't wanna be stationary.
05:17But if you hear me out, this could change everything for you. Make sure that this is straight. But we're not gonna be perfect because I don't give a Again, all you gotta do is change up the scene a little bit.
05:26You don't have a food problem.
05:31You have an avoidance problem. K. So after I'm done every line, sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't, I literally just go grab my script, and then I read the next one.
05:39When I used to binge eat at night, it wasn't because I was hungry, it's because I was lonely stressed. Now, let's say you're like reading this, you're like, but I don't binge eat. So here's what you say.
05:46If you binge eat every single night, it's not because you're hungry. Notice how I'm emphasizing. It's because you're stressed out, you're tired,
05:58you're anxious, and food is the only way you can numb that feeling instantly. So now I can change up the sink completely.
06:05So let's do that. Again, natural light's my friend, so I wanna go in front of a window.
06:11You don't want the chocolate or the cookies. You want comfort, peace of mind, and you wanna finally feel like you're in control again. So instead of going to the fridge and picking up the food
06:23I don't like that. So instead of going to the fridge and I don't like that either. So instead of going to the fridge and feeling like you need to eat,
06:32ask yourself what can you do to give yourself some comfort right now? Maybe it's calling a friend.
06:38Maybe it's journaling.
06:42Maybe it's going for a walk, maybe it's listening to music that make you maybe it's miss maybe it's listening to music that make you maybe it's listening to music that makes you feel good. That is why you film one line at a time.
06:56Then I just need to repeat the last line instead of repeating the whole video. Repeating the whole video is why most of you dorks don't post on social media because you're like, oh, it screwed up and I gotta do the whole thing again.
07:06No. Just one light at a time. Natural lights, my friends.
07:08Let's go find another video. Ask yourself what can you do to make yourself feel like you're more in control. Set small tangible goals.
07:15Track your habits on a day to day basis and show yourself that you are capable of handling this and do it and do it with one promise at a time. You don't need more willpower. You need better strategies to be able to cope with your emotional needs.
07:29And when you start meeting your emotional needs without and when you start meeting your emotional needs without food, those cravings are gonna lose their power. Boom. Let's edit this.
07:38So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take this video. I'm gonna airdrop it to my MacBook. Then you're gonna go to submagic.co.
07:43You're have to create an account. I think it's like $20 for 20 videos, which is a pretty banging deal. Upload this video, and then I'm gonna chat generate captions.
07:51Sub magic dot c o is an video editing software that will automatically edit your videos for you using AI. It's amazing. Okay.
07:57So notice if I go to trim, I can go to remove silences. Remove silences. Remove bad takes.
08:04So obviously, I'm explaining to you guys in this video how to make the video, but you get the point. This literally automatically does the captions for you and it even removed bad tics.
08:14So I'm gonna show you guys the finished product right now. Unpopular opinion about emotional eating, but if you hear me out, this could change everything for you. You don't have a food problem.
08:24You have an avoidance problem. If you binge eat every single night, it's not because you're hungry. It's because you're stressed out, you're tired, you're anxious, and food is the only way you can numb that feeling instantly.
08:36You don't want the chocolate or the cookies. You want comfort, peace of mind, and you wanna finally feel like you're in control again.
08:43So instead of going to the fridge and feeling like you need to eat, ask yourself, what can you do to give yourself some comfort right now? Maybe it's calling a friend.
08:52Maybe it's journaling. Maybe it's going for a walk. Maybe it's listening to music that makes you feel good.
08:57Ask yourself, what can you do to make yourself feel like you're more in control? Set small tangible goals. Track your habits on a day to day basis.
09:05And show yourself that you are capable of handling this and do it with one promise at a time. You don't need more willpower. You need better strategies to be able to cope with your emotional needs.
09:15And when you start meeting your emotional needs without food, those cravings are gonna lose their power. That's pretty good considering that took me twenty seconds. Now, obviously, when you go through this video, you could edit out all the dead silences and all the double takes.
09:27The ideal scenario is that you actually add the video in a cap cut and take out all the bad takes yourself. I just wanted to do it really quick for the sake of this video. But if you guys did wanna use Submagic ideally, you would upload the video to CapCut and you would basically cut out all the dead empty spaces by, like, splitting the video and just removing the dead empty spaces.
09:44I'll show you guys how to do that really quick. Let's go into CapCut, add your project,
09:49and then you're gonna watch the video. What you wanna do is you wanna get where the video starts, and then you wanna split it right here and delete this section. Bam.
09:57And then we're gonna keep watching the video. As soon as the video stops, you're gonna split it right here, and you're gonna move this section over until I say the next line. Obviously, this is a little bit more time consuming but this is the ideal way to use Submagic because then you cut all the dead empty spaces before you add it into Submagic which removes all the takes, then you can just upload the video that has all the edits all the way out.
10:17So, you do this for the entire video. So anytime I'm done talking, I'm gonna split it, move it over, wait until I see my next line. Just like that, you're gonna do that for the whole video.
10:24CTAOnce you have your completed version, then you upload it to Submagic for automatic video titles. That brings us to the end of today's video. This video literally gave you everything that you need to do in order to start becoming a viral content creator.
10:34CTAIf you just follow the framework in this video, guaranteed your content's gonna perform a lot better. Make sure you like this video, turn on post notifications. I'll see you in the last and final video of how not to be awkward on camera.

§ 05 · For Joe
Borrow the structure, own every word.
WHAT TO LEARN
Viral content is repeatable because it follows patterns, and patterns can be extracted, transferred to a new subject, and made entirely your own in under twenty minutes.
- The framework of a viral video is transferable to any subject in your niche: the hook shape, emotional arc, and pacing can be reused without copying a single word.
- Transcribing a competitor viral video gives you a structural blueprint, not a template to fill in; the subject, examples, and voice all have to be replaced before filming.
- Filming one line at a time means a bad delivery only wastes three seconds, which is the single change most responsible for getting camera-shy creators to actually post.
- Changing your physical location or angle between individual lines creates enough visual variety to hold attention, even when the whole video was shot in the same room in one session.
- Cutting dead silences in CapCut before uploading to an auto-caption tool produces a cleaner result than relying on AI silence detection alone.
- The ChatGPT prompt structure that works here (same framework, different subject, no copied verbiage) is the ethical line between inspiration and plagiarism, and it is worth understanding precisely.
