Content Ideation & Planning

The blank page is the hardest part. These five prompts help you generate platform-specific content ideas, build full content calendars, find your audience's unanswered questions, audit briefs before you write, and create series concepts that keep people coming back.

1

10 Content Ideas by Platform

Ideation

Give me 10 content ideas for [my niche/topic] that would resonate with [target audience]. For each idea, suggest a title, the core angle, and which platform it works best on (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, blog).

Tip: Add 2-3 constraints like "no listicles" or "must be under 60 seconds" to push more original ideas.

2

4-Week Content Calendar

Ideation

I want to build a content calendar for [month/quarter] around the theme of [topic]. Create a 4-week posting plan with 3 posts per week. Include the platform, format (video/carousel/blog/etc.), and a one-sentence hook for each post.

Tip: Swap in your seasonal hooks (launches, holidays, trends) for the best-performing slots.

3

Audience Knowledge Gap Finder

Ideation

I'm a [niche] content creator. What are the top 5 questions my audience is Googling but struggling to find good answers to? For each, give me a content angle that positions me as the expert.

Tip: Cross-reference with Google's 'People also ask' to validate these gaps.

4

Content Brief Audit

Ideation

Analyze this content brief: [paste brief]. Identify any gaps, suggest a stronger hook, and recommend 3 supporting points that would make this piece more shareable.

Tip: Use this before writing anything long-form — it surfaces the weak spots before you've invested the time.

5

Content Series Concept

Ideation

Create a content series concept for [platform] around [topic]. Give me a series name, a one-line series description, and 6 episode/post titles that build on each other logically.

Tip: Series content keeps audiences coming back and is favored by algorithms on YouTube and LinkedIn.

Writing & Scripting

From YouTube scripts to TikTok hooks to long-form blog outlines, these five prompts turn your raw ideas into publish-ready drafts. Whether you're scripting a video, writing a post, or just trying to nail the opening line — start here.

6

YouTube Video Script

Writing

Write a YouTube video script for the topic: [topic]. Include a strong hook in the first 15 seconds, 3 main points with supporting examples, and a clear CTA at the end. Keep it conversational and under 800 words.

Tip: Read it aloud before recording — anything that trips you up in reading will trip viewers up watching.

7

TikTok / Reels Script

Writing

Write a TikTok / Instagram Reels script for [topic]. Start with a scroll-stopping hook, keep it under 60 seconds when read aloud, and end with a curiosity gap or strong CTA. Keep the language casual and punchy.

Tip: Front-load the value — the first 3 seconds determine whether people watch or scroll.

8

Long-Form Blog Post Outline

Writing

I need to write a long-form blog post on [topic] targeting the keyword '[target keyword]'. Write a full outline with: an intro hook, 5 main sections with H2 headings, supporting subpoints for each, and a conclusion with a CTA to [product/newsletter/etc.].

Tip: Use this outline to draft section by section — it's faster and more focused than writing from scratch.

9

Draft Rewrite for Engagement

Writing

Rewrite this draft to be more engaging and scannable: [paste your draft]. Use shorter sentences, add a strong opening hook, break up long paragraphs, and highlight the key takeaways in a summary box or bullets.

Tip: If the rewrite sounds off-brand, add 'match this tone:' with a sample of your own writing.

10

5 Opening Hooks Generator

Writing

Write 5 different opening hooks for a piece about [topic]. One should be a bold claim, one a surprising stat, one a question, one a story opener, and one a contrarian take.

Tip: A/B test these hooks across platforms — the one that gets the most comments is your angle for the next 3 posts.

Repurposing & Distribution

Every piece of content is worth 5–10 more. These five prompts help you turn one video, post, or article into threads, carousels, newsletters, quote graphics, and lead magnets — without starting from scratch each time.

11

Multi-Platform Repurpose

Repurposing

I just published a [YouTube video / blog post / podcast episode] about [topic]. Help me repurpose it into: a Twitter/X thread (8 tweets), a LinkedIn post (300 words, professional tone), and 3 Instagram caption options.

Tip: Repurpose within 24 hours while the content is fresh — don't let it sit and go stale.

12

Quotable Moments Extractor

Repurposing

Here is a transcript of my [video/podcast]: [paste transcript]. Extract the 5 most quotable moments and format each as a standalone social post with a visual description I could use for a graphic.

Tip: These quote graphics are some of the highest-engagement repurpose formats on LinkedIn and Instagram.

13

Carousel Slide Outline

Repurposing

Take this long-form blog post and create a carousel outline for LinkedIn or Instagram. Give me 8-10 slides: slide 1 is a bold hook, slides 2-9 are key points with one idea per slide, last slide is a CTA. Keep each slide to one sentence or stat.

Tip: The cover slide (slide 1) gets 80% of the views — spend the most time on that hook.

14

Email Newsletter Version

Repurposing

I have a content piece on [topic]. Create an email newsletter version of it: a subject line (under 50 chars), a preview text (under 100 chars), and a 200-word body that teases the key insight and links back to the full piece.

Tip: Add a P.S. line at the end of every newsletter email — it consistently gets high clicks.

15

Lead Magnet Formats

Repurposing

I want to turn my content on [topic] into a lead magnet. Suggest 3 lead magnet formats (e.g. checklist, template, guide) that would work well, with a title for each, the core value proposition in one sentence, and an estimated production time.

Tip: The fastest lead magnet to produce is usually a 1-page checklist — ship it first, optimize later.

Audience Growth & Engagement

Publishing is only half the job. These five prompts help you write CTAs that convert, design 30-day growth experiments, launch content series with momentum, and spark community conversations that algorithms reward.

16

5 CTA Options

Growth

Write 5 call-to-action options for [platform] that I can use at the end of my content. Include: one to follow/subscribe, one to save/bookmark, one to share with someone, one to comment with their answer, and one to click a link.

Tip: Rotate your CTAs — if you use the same one every time, audiences tune it out.

17

30-Day Growth Experiment

Growth

I want to grow on [platform] in [niche]. Analyze what typically performs well in this niche and give me a 30-day growth experiment: 3 content formats to test, a posting frequency, and 3 metrics to track to know if it's working.

Tip: Run the experiment for the full 30 days before changing variables — you need clean data.

18

Pinned Comment / Description

Growth

Write a pinned comment / post description for a [YouTube video / TikTok / Instagram post] about [topic]. Include relevant keywords naturally, a 2-sentence summary of what viewers will learn, and 2-3 relevant hashtags.

Tip: Pinned comments on YouTube are underused — they rank in the comment section and are the first thing people read.

19

Series Announcement Post

Growth

I'm launching a new content series called [series name] on [platform]. Write an announcement post that builds excitement, explains what the series is about, previews the first 3 episodes, and tells people exactly how to follow along.

Tip: Announce the series before episode 1 drops — it seeds the audience so episode 1 starts with momentum.

20

Community Engagement Prompt

Growth

Help me write a community engagement prompt I can post to [platform] to spark discussion around [topic]. It should invite personal opinions or experiences, be easy to answer in one sentence, and feel native to the platform tone.

Tip: Engagement prompts that ask for opinions outperform those that ask for information — make it personal.
