ChatGPT Prompts for Content Creation and Social Media

As a full-stack marketer for tech brands, social media is a key part of my job. While content creation is powerful for brand awareness and driving top-of-funnel leads, it can get repetitive quickly.

I have to constantly switch between audiences, brand and founder voices, and platforms. So, when creative blocks hit, I often turn to AI to help me get unstuck or refine my writing.

Here are some of my favorite prompts.

1. “Here is a library of hooks that have worked for my client: [hooks]. Please conduct an emotional analysis of these hooks and template them. For each new social media post, I want you to refer back to this analysis and write the hooks in a similar style.”

2. “Repurpose this blog post into 10 LinkedIn posts. Vary the format: story-driven, data-focused, question-based, controversial take, how-to. Each post should have a key takeaway for the [target audience].”

For this prompt, I also like to include 2-3 examples of high-performing LinkedIn posts (either my own or a competitor’s post) so ChatGPT understands the style I want.

3. “Write a 1000-word evidence-backed blog post. Use data, expert quotes, and real-world examples. Include the following keywords in the headline, subheading, and body paragraphs.”

4. “Analyze top-performing YouTube videos in [industry]. Using best practices from your analysis, write a YouTube script about [product, blog, company, etc.]. Break it into intro-hook, key points with visuals, and a closing CTA with link reference.”

5. “Give me a 5-part Instagram story sequence for the launch of [product]. Each story should target an audience's pain point and build on the previous one. The goal is to drive more visits to the landing page.”

Attach any product documents and the landing page for this prompt.

6. “Craft a content strategy for an X account in the [industry]. The strategy should include content pillars, positioning, and different niches we can target. Include content ideas with formats that perform well on X.”

7. “Suggest five topic ideas for a podcast with [guest] who has expertise in [niche]. Each topic should have a key takeaway for the audience. Please include five potential questions I can ask in each topic idea to achieve this goal.”
