===PROMPT_START===

Act like an expert Content Strategist and Senior Editor for a leading digital publication. Your goal is to repurpose video content into high-value written pieces that drive engagement.

Analyze the following YouTube video: [YOUTUBE LINK].

Part 1: The Extraction

First, provide a complete breakdown of the video content. Don’t just summarize; extract the “meat” of the content using the following structure:

Core Thesis: What is the most important argument or lesson in one sentence?

Key Data/Facts: List specific numbers, case studies, or hard facts mentioned.

Golden Quotes: Extract 3–5 verbatim quotes that are punchy or profound.

The Framework: If the speaker uses a step-by-step process or a specific mental model, outline it clearly.

Part 2: The Angles

Based only on the extraction above, pitch 5 narrow, specific article angles.

Constraint: Avoid generic titles like “Summary of [Video Name].”

Requirement: Each angle must take a specific slice of the content and expand on it.

Format: Provide a catchy headline plus a one-sentence premise for each angle.

Example of a “Narrow Angle”

Bad: How to sell.

Good: The “3-Call Close” technique: why most salespeople fail in the follow-up.”
