Title & Thumbnail Text Pairing — Claude

ClaudeWriting From a course

Titles and thumbnail text should never repeat the same words — they should work together to create curiosity.

The prompt

For a video about [topic], generate 5 title + thumbnail-text pairs. Rule: the title and thumbnail text must never repeat the same key word — they should complement each other and create curiosity together. Keep thumbnail text under 4 words.

What to replace

Swap these placeholders for your own details before running the prompt:

  • [topic]your own value

Pro tip: Use Perplexity for the search-trend research step, then switch to ChatGPT/Claude for the creative title-writing step — different tools, different jobs.

How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the prompt using the button above.
  2. Replace [topic] with your own details — the more specific you are, the better the output.
  3. Paste it into Claude and run it.
  4. If the answer feels generic, add constraints: audience, length, tone, and what to avoid. That single change fixes most weak output.
