Don't Know What to Post?
Use this prompt to always have content ideas at hand. This is what I use when I have zero content ideas.
Here’s a secret:
I don’t always know what to post.
But my AI assistant does.
Because I trained it to think like me.
When I’m stuck, I open up ChatGPT or Grok or Creator Buddy (…whatever AI i’m feeling that day…) and run this exact prompt:

BRAIN-NOT-BRAINING PROMT:
Act as my personal content strategist.
Your job is to generate 10 creative, engaging content ideas tailored to my style, niche, and goals.
Here’s what you need to know about me:
→ My niche: [insert your niche]
→ My tone: [describe your tone: bold, funny, soft, edgy, motivational, etc.]
→ My favorite content formats: [e.g. one-liners, carousels, threads, X Spaces, memes, tutorials, behind-the-scenes, video scripts]
→ My audience vibe: [who follows you / what they're interested in / what problems they face]
→ My content goals: [e.g. grow reach, build trust, sell digital products, show personality, teach something]
Now generate 10 scroll-stopping ideas for content I can post today.
Mix up the formats and styles.
Each idea should include:
• A working title or hook
• What format it should be (e.g. meme, thread, story, quote, question, etc.)
• Why it works (what emotion, value, or curiosity it taps into)
• A short outline or post example to get me started
Optional: Tell me what kind of image or media I could pair it with.
Make sure everything is personalized to my tone, niche, and audience.

🚨 OKAY BACK TO TOPIC 🚨
WHY THIS WORKS:
This isn’t just “give me ideas.”
This is you giving AI context so it can think like your ghostwriter.
You’re feeding it your:
✓ Vibe
✓ Goals
✓ Style
✓ Audience
↳ And it spits back ideas that sound like you, not a robot.
Example Output (if you’re a bold personal brand creator):
• Hook: “The 3 lies I stopped telling myself (and what happened after)”
• Format: Thread
• Why it works: Emotional, reflective, relatable → triggers curiosity and vulnerability
• Outline:
➤ Lie 1: “I’m not ready”
➤ Lie 2: “I need to be perfect”
➤ Lie 3: “People will judge me”
↳ Close with what changed after you stopped saying these.
