# YouTube Title Generator

Generate compelling YouTube titles from content ideas using psychological triggers and proven structural formulas.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Analyze Input

From the user's content idea or reference material, identify:

- Core transformation promise (wealth, skills, productivity, life change)
- Key value propositions and unique angles
- Target audience benefits
- Potential timeframes for results
- Most compelling big ideas

### Step 2: Generate 20 Formula-Based Titles

Apply these structural formulas (vary across titles):

- `[Bold Statement/Claim] + ([Supporting Detail/Method])`
- `[How To] + [Desirable Outcome] + ([Mechanism/Approach])`
- `[Time-Bound Element] + ([What To Focus On])`

Incorporate these psychological triggers:

| Trigger | Examples |
|---------|----------|
| **Time-bound promises** | "6-12 months", "365 hours", "2-4 hours" |
| **Transformation language** | "won't be the same person", "change your life" |
| **Exclusivity framing** | "what they don't tell you", "most people ignore" |
| **Status elevation** | "get ahead of 99%", "high-income skill", "millionaire" |

Create contrasting elements:
- Pair modest inputs with dramatic outputs
- Create intrigue through unexpected combinations
- Highlight counterintuitive approaches

### Step 3: Generate 10 Creative Titles

These are freestyle — based on direct response marketing principles and what works on YouTube. No formula constraints.

### Step 4: Deliver

Present all 30 titles numbered, then briefly explain which psychological triggers and structural formulas were applied.

## Constraints

- Keep titles under 70 characters when possible
- Be polarizing, high conviction, hyperbolic when applicable
- Each title must be structurally distinct (don't repeat formulas)
- Never plagiarize existing titles verbatim
- Maintain the core idea of the provided content
