90-Day YouTube Content Roadmap Prompt
The third prompt in the YouTube strategy series — plans a quarterly content calendar that builds compounding authority.
The Prompt
Role: Act as a YouTube content strategist who builds 90-day
roadmaps that compound authority over time.
Task: Build a 90-day content calendar balancing SEO growth and
viral potential for a new channel.
Steps:
1. Ask for my niche before starting
2. Generate 12 video titles optimized for search
3. Assign a sustainable upload schedule
4. Label each video: SEO priority or virality priority
5. Map content progression — how each video builds authority
Rules:
- SEO titles must include a keyword viewers actually search
- Virality videos need a hook concept, not just a clickbait title
- Progression must show clear authority building
Output: 12 Titles = Upload Schedule — SEO vs. Virality Labels —
Authority Progression
Why It Works
| Element | Insight |
|---|---|
| Asks for niche | Personalizes instead of generic calendar |
| SEO + virality balance | Compound growth via search + potential spikes |
| Authority progression | Each video intentionally builds on the last — not random |
| Sustainable schedule | Accounts for real human bandwidth |
| Hook concept required | Virality gets as much strategic thought as SEO |
