Titles are the hardest to write in content. They are the face of your content, so they have to be relevant yet attractive. They are also the first thing people notice—on YouTube or anywhere else.
I am not the only one who thinks like that; many content creators, even novelists, say that. An American author, Sara Shephard, once said, “I find coming up with a title the hardest part of writing a novel.”
When I started my YouTube channel, I used to spend hours thinking about the perfect video title. Still, my videos would not get clicks sometimes. With time, I realized that YouTube titles can make or break your video’s performance.
But now, I use generative AI to write titles that get more views, more clicks, and yes, more money. And it takes only seconds to generate titles from AI tools.
Many influencers nowadays use title generators. I will explain how, but first, let me tell you why titles are so important.
Why YouTube titles are more important than you think
Your title is the first impression of your content. People decide whether to click or scroll past based on your titles.
The average YouTube click-through rate (CTR) is between 2% and 10%, according to data from Uppbeat. And a good title can dramatically improve that.
The title generator at sentencerewriter.net gives many titles at once, as described earlier. So I test many of them and see what works the best.
I once changed a title using AI suggestions from the title generator. My title “Morning Routine That Changed My Life” became “I Tried Waking Up at 5 AM for 30 Days—Here’s What Happened.”
And the CTR jumped by 37% in just a week. Same video, same thumbnail, just a better title.
How influencers use AI for better YouTube titles
There are no hard rules for writing YouTube titles. You can write whatever you think represents your content and attracts your target audience. But there are some best practices of writing titles, which influencers keep in mind while asking an AI tool for help in title writing.
1. Using AI to insert high-performing keywords
One of the smartest ways of writing titles is by using keywords people are already searching for. AI tools collect this data and suggest trending search terms in real-time.
When I used VidIQ’s AI keyword tool for a recent productivity video, I found that “morning routine” and “waking up early benefits” were the trends of that week. So I added them to my title and saw my video pop up in YouTube search results within a few days.
Seasonal keywords are very likely to get you better results. Like in summer you can create videos on “Top 10 Summer Hair Care Routine for Flawless Hair.” People look for this type of content in summer.
2. A/B testing titles with AI tools
You might have noticed that influencers change their titles and thumbnails from time to time in their videos, even old ones. That’s because they test different thumbnails for better social media engagement.
Moreover, tools like TubeBuddy let me test two different titles and track which one performs better in real-time.
It’s like letting the audience tell you what they like.
3. Improving title length and structure
YouTube allows us to write 100 characters in the title. But that is too much. Recommended length is under 60 characters, otherwise, your title might not fully show up on many devices.
I use the Headline Studio tool to check the visibility of my titles on many devices. It not only keeps the length in check but also scores the structure for emotional impact and engagement.
So I always check my titles before using them. Whether I write them myself or generate them with an AI tool like the headline generator. This practice improves my content performance.
4. Combining clickbait with transparency
Many aspiring influencers become desperate for views and make unnecessary claims to attract audiences. This can result in more views for the time being, but it can get your channel demonetized.

But now what influencers do is balance curiosity with honesty using AI tools.
For example, I had a title “This One Habit Changed My Life.” It is catchy but not clear, and can be taken as clickbait by YouTube algorithms.
So I used the title generator at fueon.com for suggestions. I used “I Started Journaling Daily—Here’s How It Transformed My Life” from them. Because it has the same curiosity, but now it’s transparent too.
The video ended up getting three times more comments and shares than my usual uploads.
5. Personalizing titles for specific audiences
Some influencers even use AI to write titles based on their audience’s region, age group, and watch history. Because when you start sounding like you’re speaking directly to them, they click.
For example, if I’m making a finance video, the AI suggests terms like “passive income,” “financial freedom,” or “side hustles”, because those terms are used by money-savvy viewers.
If you are targeting the American people, your title will be more attractive if it goes, “10 Best American Clothing Brands in 2024” instead of “Best Clothing Brands in 2025”
6. Rewriting underperforming video titles
Influencers do not just abandon their non-performing videos. Instead, they experiment on them to find out what didn’t work. They try changing thumbnails and titles until their video starts performing. 90% of top-performing YouTube videos have custom thumbnails. And these thumbnails are created through trials.
Once I had a video that barely got 100 views in a month. So I ran its title through wordchanger.net and picked a fresher, more dynamic version of the title.
- Original “Video presentations with AI”
- Rephrased “How I Manage 3 Freelance Video Presentations Without Burning Out”
Within a week, the views tripled. No re-editing, no reposting—just a better title.
7. Predicting the emotional impact
One of my favorite AI features is its emotional scoring. Headline analyzers tell you how emotionally engaging your title is, like if it excites, surprises, or inspires your viewer.
Influencers know that emotion drives clicks. A title like “What I Wish I Knew Before Becoming a Full-Time Creator” scores much higher emotionally than something dry like “My Creator Journey”.
It works better because storytelling is about connection, and emotion is where it starts.
Conclusion
Using AI-generated YouTube titles isn’t cheating. It’s a smart strategy. As titles are no longer just a few words you write together at the last minute. They help your content get the reach it deserves.
So if you’ve got 10 great videos sitting on your channel with fewer views, try running their titles through an AI tool. Update them. Track the clicks.
You might be surprised at how much difference a few words can make.
