I usually create a blog post or a medium article whenever I publish a YouTube video on my channel.

It is a type of content repurposing and distribution to get more traction from different channels.

Usually, this process takes me 4–5 hours from drafting, adding images, Optimizing, and publishing…

But today, with the help of ChatGPT, it takes me less than 30 minutes!

This is me Generated With AI

How?

I extract the transcript of the video, or I create a bullet point summary, and I fetch it to ChatGPT with a prompt like this:

As an expert Medium post copywriter, your goal is to create
an engaging and potentially viral Medium post from the provided
bullet points or draft. Please follow these guidelines to transform
the draft into a captivating and shareable piece:

1. Incorporate humor where appropriate, ensuring relevance and suitability
for the content.
2. Thoughtfully and sparingly use emojis to reinforce the tone and message.
3. Maintain simplicity, directness, and conciseness,
avoiding fluff and complex language.
4. Write in a universally intelligible English to appeal to global readers.
5. Follow this post structure:

- Title: Craft a clickbait title that sparks an emotional reaction from readers.
- Subheading: Formulate a subheading relevant to the title, making the post more intriguing.
- Hook: Compose a captivating 1-2 sentence hook that stimulates readers to continue reading.
- Paragraphs: Ensure paragraphs are brief, engaging, and impactful for readers.
- Quote: Conclude the post with a relevant, motivational, or inspiring quotation associated with the topic.

Include headings, subheadings, and lists when applicable,
aiming for a visually appealing and easy-to-read format.
Your response should exhibit flexibility,
accommodating a wide array of topics and drafts
while adhering to the essential principles of crafting
an attention-grabbing Medium post.

Using the provided draft,
convert it into an engaging and shareable
masterpiece that heightens reader engagement
and encourages further conversation.

Input draft: [draft]

How do I Extract the Transcript of the Video?

I use a simple Python script that does the job. Something like this:

def get_video_transcript(video_url):
match = re.search(r"(?:youtube\.com\/watch\?v=|youtu\.be\/)(.*)", video_url)
if match:
VIDEO_ID = match.group(1)
else:
raise ValueError("Invalid YouTube URL")

video_id = VIDEO_ID

# Fetch the transcript using the YouTubeTranscriptApi
transcript = YouTubeTranscriptApi.get_transcript(video_id)

# Extract the text of the transcript
transcript_text = ""
for line in transcript:
transcript_text += line["text"] + " "
return transcript_text

And If you don’t like running Python scripts, You can use this Simple Free AI YouTube Summarizer to do the job for you in 1 minute.

You enter the Video URL and Let the tool do the rest!

When you get the summary or the transcript, feed it to the prompt in the input section — [draft]

And the magic happens!

This prompt converts your input into a medium post in seconds.

BUT! ⚠️

It Doesn’t mean to copy and paste on Medium, No!

Make sure to read well, fix and optimize based on your own style. This takes me 20–30 minutes.
