Best prompts for YouTube: Increase watch time using playlists

Audit the following YouTube playlists and their performance metrics. For each playlist, identify: (1) which videos cause viewers to leave the playlist, (2) start and end retention problems, (3) recommended re-ordering or removal, and (4) three specific fixes (title/thumbnail/editing/crosslinking) to improve session watch time. Input data: channel name: "TechSimplified", Playlist A "Laptop Reviews" (10 videos, avg view duration 3:24, avg percentage viewed 42%, top video retention 68%, worst video retention 19%), Playlist B "How-to PC Builds" (6 videos, avg view duration 6:10, avg percentage viewed 58%). Output a table-like list by playlist and video with actionable fixes prioritized by impact.

Given these videos and short descriptions, create an optimal play order across playlists to maximize continuous viewing (autoplay and manual clicks). For each video, state its ideal position, a 10–20 word transition line to place at the end of the video to promote the next, and expected watch-time uplift percentage. Videos: V1 "Budget Laptop Comparison" (10 min), V2 "Laptop Battery Test" (6 min), V3 "Refurbished Laptop Guide" (8 min), V4 "Top 5 Gaming Laptops" (12 min), V5 "Laptop Troubleshooting" (9 min). Provide 2 alternate sequencing strategies (time-focused vs. interest-focused) and rationale.

Write a 250-character playlist description and three variations of end-of-playlist CTAs (short, medium, long) that encourage binge-watching and link to the next logical playlist. Use action phrases, expected viewer benefit, and include a call to action to watch the next video. Target audience: DIY PC builders.

Write a 30–45 second script for a playlist intro video that will sit at the top of the playlist. It should (1) hook viewers in the first 5 seconds, (2) summarize what the playlist covers, (3) explain the next recommended video, and (4) include an explicit watch-now CTA. Target: "Vegan Meal Prep Basics" playlist.

For a 10-video playlist (average length 8–12 minutes), create a standardized end-screen template and card placement schedule (timestamp ranges) that maximizes clicks to the next playlist video. Provide copy for 3 card types (Next video, Playlist hub, Subscribe) and templates for overlay text. Indicate exceptions for videos under 6 minutes.

Create 4 SEO-optimized playlist title options (short and long-tail), a 300-character description, and 12 tag suggestions for a playlist about "Beginner Guitar Lessons" aimed at increasing watch-through and session time. Include which title best promotes binge behavior and why.
