Content is the one thing every business owner knows they need more of — and the one thing that always gets pushed to the back burner. Not because you're lazy. Because when you sit down to do it, you blank out.
AI fixes this — but only if you know how to prompt it. Vague inputs get vague outputs. Specific, structured prompts get content that actually sounds like you and moves people to act.
Here are 10 prompts I use to batch a full month of content in a single afternoon. Copy them, swap in your details, and let AI do the heavy lifting.
Before You Start: Set the Context
Paste this at the top of your chat before running any of the prompts below. It trains the AI on your voice before it writes anything.
Context Prompt — Run This First
I'm [YOUR NAME], the founder of [BUSINESS NAME]. I help [TARGET AUDIENCE] with [WHAT YOU DO]. My tone is [e.g. warm, direct, no jargon — like a smart friend explaining something]. My audience's biggest pain points are [LIST 2-3]. Keep all content conversational, specific, and action-oriented. No filler phrases like "In today's world" or "It's no secret that."
✱ The more specific you are here, the better everything else performs.
Prompts 1–3: Social Media Captions
Prompt 1 — 30-Day Caption Bank
Generate 30 social media captions for [PLATFORM] about [YOUR TOPIC/NICHE]. Mix these formats: 10 tips, 8 "hot takes" or contrarian opinions, 6 behind-the-scenes moments, 4 client results or stories, and 2 personal anecdotes. Each caption should be 3–5 sentences. Include a call to action in every third caption.
Prompt 2 — Hook Generator
Write 15 scroll-stopping opening lines for social media posts about [YOUR TOPIC]. Make them specific, curiosity-driven, and avoid clichés. Aim for a mix of: surprising statistics, "unpopular opinions," relatable frustrations, and "what I wish I'd known" angles.
Prompt 3 — Content Repurposing
Take this piece of content: [PASTE BLOG POST, EMAIL, OR TRANSCRIPT]. Repurpose it into: 5 Instagram captions, 3 short-form video scripts (60 seconds each), 2 LinkedIn posts, and 1 Twitter/X thread of 8 tweets. Keep the core message but adapt the format and length for each platform.
Prompts 4–6: Email Newsletter Content
Prompt 4 — Monthly Email Plan
Create a 4-week email content plan for [YOUR BUSINESS]. Each week should have a different focus: Week 1 — educational/value, Week 2 — story or case study, Week 3 — promotional (soft sell), Week 4 — personal/behind the scenes. For each email give me: subject line (and 2 A/B test variants), preview text, and a 3-sentence summary of the content.
Prompt 5 — Subject Line Variations
I'm writing an email about [TOPIC]. Write 10 subject lines using different angles: curiosity, urgency, benefit-led, question-based, and controversial. Keep them under 50 characters. Flag which 3 you think would perform best and why.
Prompt 6 — Full Newsletter Draft
Write a 400-word email newsletter on the topic of [TOPIC] for an audience of [AUDIENCE DESCRIPTION]. Open with a relatable story or observation. Move into the value/lesson. Close with a soft call to action to [DESIRED ACTION]. Tone: [YOUR TONE]. Avoid bullet-point-heavy formatting — keep it conversational and readable.
Prompts 7–10: Blog Posts & Long-Form
Prompt 7 — Blog Post Outline
Create a detailed SEO-optimized blog post outline for the topic: "[YOUR TOPIC]." Target keyword: [KEYWORD]. Target audience: [AUDIENCE]. Include: a compelling title, meta description (150 chars), intro hook, 5–7 H2 sections with 2–3 subpoints each, and a closing CTA. The post should answer the question "[QUESTION YOUR AUDIENCE GOOGLES]."
Prompt 8 — Full Blog Draft
Write a 900-word blog post using this outline: [PASTE YOUR OUTLINE]. Tone: [YOUR TONE]. Include 2–3 real examples or scenarios. Avoid generic advice — be specific and actionable. End with a call to action that points readers toward [PRODUCT/SERVICE/NEXT STEP].
Prompt 9 — Content Calendar
Build a 30-day content calendar for [YOUR BUSINESS]. Include: what to post each day, which platform, the content type (video, carousel, static, story, email), and a one-sentence description of the content. Organize it by week. Focus themes: Week 1 — awareness, Week 2 — education, Week 3 — social proof, Week 4 — conversion.
Prompt 10 — Evergreen Content Bank
Generate 20 evergreen content ideas for [YOUR NICHE] that won't go out of date. For each idea include: the format (blog, video, carousel, email), the target keyword or search intent, and a one-line description. Prioritize topics that answer common questions your audience is Googling.
How to Make These Work
One thing I see people do wrong: they run the prompt once, don't love the output, and give up. That's not how this works.
AI is a collaborator, not a vending machine. If the first output isn't right, tell it what to change. "Make it shorter." "Less formal." "More specific to service businesses." "Change the CTA." Two or three iterations and you'll have something you're proud of.
The real time-saver
Once you've set your context prompt and found the formats that work, save them. Build a personal prompt library. The next batch session will take half as long — and the one after that, half again.
