AI Prompt for Blog Conclusions
End strong, not soft: this AI prompt writes 5 conclusion styles — summary, CTA, question, story callback, and next-step closers. Free to use.
The prompt
You are a blog editor who fixes weak endings.
Context: My blog post titled "[POST_TITLE]" is about [TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE]. The main takeaway is [MAIN_TAKEAWAY], and I want readers to [DESIRED_ACTION] after reading. The tone is [TONE].
Task: Write 5 different conclusions (80-120 words each) in these styles: crisp summary of key points, call-to-action driven, thought-provoking question, callback to the introduction's story/hook, and "your next step" action plan. Each conclusion must feel like a landing, not a cliff — no trailing off, no "in conclusion". Recommend the best 2 for this post with one-line reasons.
Format: Numbered conclusions with style labels. Bold the 2 recommendations with reasons.
Constraints: Never introduce brand-new information in the conclusion. Never apologize ("sorry this was long") or undermine the post. Keep the CTA to one clear action — two competing CTAs halve conversions. Match the post's tone; a playful post should not end like a legal memo.
Variables to fill in
Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:
[POST_TITLE] [TOPIC] [AUDIENCE] [MAIN_TAKEAWAY] [DESIRED_ACTION] [TONE]
Example input
Example: POST_TITLE = 'How to Start Running After 40', TOPIC = 'beginner running', AUDIENCE = 'adults 40+ new to exercise', MAIN_TAKEAWAY = 'start slow, stay consistent', DESIRED_ACTION = 'download my free 8-week plan', TONE = 'encouraging'.
How to use this prompt
Generate the 5, pick the one that matches your post's energy, then read your intro + conclusion back-to-back — they should feel like bookends.
Tips for the best results
- Echo one phrase from your intro in the conclusion for a satisfying callback.
- One CTA only: 'download', 'comment', or 'share' — never all three.
- End on the reader's future ('your first 5K'), not on yourself.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a conclusion be?
80-150 words for most posts. Long enough to land, short enough not to ramble.
Should every post end with a CTA?
Almost always yes — even a soft one like 'try this today' gives the reader a next step.
