How to use these
These prompts generate ideas, not finished content. Run one, take the 2-3 angles that feel right, then build from there. They work for any niche. Just fill in the [brackets] with your topic, audience, and platform.
Social posts and captions
Give me 10 post ideas about [topic] for [platform, e.g. Instagram / LinkedIn]. My audience is [describe audience]. I want a mix of educational, personal, and conversational angles.
I want to post about [topic] but not in the obvious way everyone does. Give me 5 unexpected angles or hooks that would make someone stop scrolling.
Write 5 caption hooks for a post about [topic]. Each should start differently: a question, a bold statement, a surprising fact, a relatable struggle, and a contrarian take.
Email and newsletter
Give me 10 email subject line ideas for a newsletter about [topic]. Mix curiosity, specificity, and urgency. No clickbait.
I'm writing a newsletter issue about [topic]. Give me 5 different angles I could take, from practical how-to to opinion to story-driven.
Blog and long-form
Generate 10 blog post titles about [topic] for an audience of [audience]. Each title should be specific and promise a clear outcome.
I'm writing about [topic]. Give me 5 counterintuitive or contrarian angles that most people in this space wouldn't say.
Repurposing content
I have this piece of content: [paste content]. Give me 5 ways to repurpose it for [platform / format], keeping the core idea but changing the format and angle.
Turn this long-form piece into 3 short social posts, each highlighting a different insight: [paste content].
I want to create a whole month of content from this one idea: [idea]. Give me 20 content angles across different formats: posts, emails, short videos, and Q&As.
Key takeaway
