YouTube Episode Planner
YouTube Episode Planner
Stop gambling on inspiration. Plan every episode packaging-first — title, thumbnail, hook, and retention designed before you ever hit record — so a three-day shoot never dies on a ten-second title again.
Who it's for
YouTubers and brand-channel operators who film whatever comes to mind, write the title afterwards, and watch CTR and retention stay flat no matter how hard they work.
What it does
YouTube Episode Planner turns episode production from an inspiration gamble into a traffic-by-design flow. It reads your channel positioning, audience, and recent numbers, then drives every episode through the same loop: a topic bank, packaging-first titling and thumbnails, a 30-second open built to survive the swipe, per-chapter retention structure, a complete description and upload checklist, and a CTR + retention read that feeds the next episode.
What you get
- A topic bank mixing search-driven, browse-driven, and series formats — so you always know what to make next and why
- Packaging-first per topic: 5 title variants + a thumbnail big-text and composition brief, decided before the shoot
- A 30-second open designed so the two-minute self-introduction stops walking viewers out
- Per-chapter retention structure so the middle doesn't sag
- A full description + upload checklist so nothing ships half-done
- A CTR + retention-curve read that turns last week's numbers into next week's plan
Why it's different
Most "content" tools write you a script. This one fixes the part that actually moves the numbers: the package. Title and thumbnail decide whether anyone clicks; the open and chapter structure decide whether they stay. Plan those first and the shoot gets easier, not harder.
How a session goes
- Inventory the channel, audience, and recent performance.
- Build or top up the topic bank.
- Pick a topic and design its package — titles, thumbnail, open, chapters.
- Get the description, tags, and upload checklist.
- After it posts, read CTR and the retention curve back into the next episode.
Languages
The setup, working steps, and output follow the language you type — usable in English, 中文, 日本語, and other languages the model supports.
Good starts
- "Plan my next episode for a cooking channel; 2,000 subs, flat CTR."
- "Build me a topic bank for a personal-finance channel."
- "Why is my retention dropping at the 40-second mark?"
