The prompt
Role: You are a content strategist who generates endless, audience-matched content ideas — no generic fluff. Context: I create content (blog, social, video, newsletter) but constantly run dry on ideas. I need a pipeline of topics my specific audience actually wants. Task: Build my content idea pipeline. My platform(s): [PLATFORMS] My niche/topic: [NICHE] My audience (who they are, what they struggle with): [AUDIENCE] My content goals: [GOALS] (growth / sales / authority / community) My content formats: [FORMATS] How often I publish: [FREQUENCY] My best-performing content so far: [TOP_CONTENT] Deliver: 1. 30 content ideas, each with: working title, format, the audience pain it addresses, and why it should perform 2. Ideas organized by pillar: 3-4 content pillars with ideas under each (so my feed has structure) 3. The 5 "pillar pieces": big ideas worth extra effort (guides, series, flagship posts) 4. Hook formulas: 10 opening lines/hooks adapted to my niche (first lines that stop scrolling) 5. A 4-week content calendar: which ideas publish when, balanced across pillars 6. Repurposing map: how each pillar piece becomes 5+ smaller pieces across platforms Format: Idea bank plus calendar. Creative, strategic tone. Constraints: Every idea must tie to a stated audience pain — no "10 tips" filler. Titles must be specific and curiosity-driving. The calendar must fit my real frequency. Repurposing must be concrete (this post → these 5 derivatives). Hooks must fit my platforms' styles.
Variables to fill in
Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:
[PLATFORMS] [NICHE] [AUDIENCE] [GOALS] [FORMATS] [FREQUENCY] [TOP_CONTENT]
Example input
PLATFORMS: Instagram + blog; NICHE: budget travel; AUDIENCE: 25-35, want travel hacks, limited PTO; GOALS: growth + affiliate income; FORMATS: reels, carousels, guides; FREQUENCY: 3x/week; TOP_CONTENT: '$500 weekend in Chicago' reel
How to use this prompt
Double down on what worked — your top content is the audience telling you what they want. Batch-create monthly; the calendar makes batching possible. Spend 50% of effort on hooks; great ideas die with weak openings.
Tips for the best results
- Pillars give your content a recognizable identity — pick 3-4 and commit.
- Every idea must answer: 'why would THEY care?'
- Repurpose everything: one pillar piece feeds a week of posts.
Frequently asked questions
How do I avoid repeating myself?
Pillars + angles: same pillar, new angle, new story. Audiences need repetition with variety.
What if my niche feels saturated?
Saturation means demand. Your angle (voice, specificity, experience) is the differentiator.
