Step 1 of 8:

☎️ AI Hotline:
Can't think of anything? Just copy and paste the prompt below into your AI tool for help.
Keeping in line with my brand’s voice and tone, summarize the original thought above into a 4-5 sentence, punchy, powerful message for my target avatar.
The message should capture the essence of my thoughts, the concept, resonate with my target audience, and align with my brand’s tone. Truth bombs, an explanation and some sarcasm with an action step is key. Write in a down-to-earth tone – not witty – and do not include questions in the message. Informality and non-traditional structure can be used.
Here are some examples of the style I’m looking for: [Example: “Great news! You can stop waiting for the perfect moment to begin your creator journey—start with what you have. I remember when…” / “Your cluttered space is costing you more than just your peace. In my own journey… This is why I don’t…” “the key to… – Point A – Point B – Point C – Point D Trust me, this will change your life.] [Substitute with a different style if needed]
The goal is to create a powerful informal statement that grabs attention, sparks curiosity, and sounds human, making it shareable and impactful on my social media platforms.

[Take a look ⬇️
[@yourinstagramhandle 👈 follow + favorite]
Imagine you’re assembling a puzzle. Would you start with the middle pieces before setting the borders? Probably not. Likewise, in your [niched journey], there are some steps you just can’t skip.
1️⃣ [Task/Step 1]: Think of it as your foundation. Without it, everything else might feel shaky or uncertain.
2️⃣ [Task/Step 2]: This ensures clarity. It’s like your guiding star, leading you forward.
3️⃣ [Task/Step 3]: It’s about refining, making sure you’re on the right path, and adjusting as needed.
Ignoring these essential steps? Well, that’s where the cost comes in.
💥 A risk of misguided decisions
💥 Potential time and resources wasted
💥 Feeling overwhelmed or lost without a clear direction
Completing these tasks ensures you’re not only ready for the next phase but that you’ll tackle it with more confidence, efficiency, and direction.
Remember, it’s not just about reaching the destination; it’s about ensuring the journey is as smooth and fruitful as possible.
Don’t cut corners. The results, peace of mind, and overall growth you’ll experience? Priceless.

Based on the information of my brand voice and target avatar, write a social media caption that’s well under 2,200 characters based on the original thought, takeaway and scripts.
Use this caption template as mainly the structure – feel free to change up the wording to fit my context:
[Insert Caption Template (optional)]
The caption should not include hashtags and should have no emojis. It should read [conversational, punchy, informal and down-to-earth] aligning with my brand’s tone.
[(Optional) Add fill-in-the-blank areas where I can input my own words, phrases and story, Mad-lib style.]
[Anything else you want AI to know; any specific personal or brand story you want to tell here?]
Include a lot of line breaks and make sure the caption feels human and connects with my audience in a relatable and impactful way.
I need you to create [5] opinions to be used in an audience poll based on the thought, story and takeaway in the caption. The opinions/fun options should be informal, conversational, and short in character length (30 characters or less). They should be fun, witty and casual, with a hint of sarcasm. They should vary in opinion and angle but still be fluid.
Think outside the box of either agreeing or disagreeing. You can also play off of fun current events, pop culture, or trends if it fits the concept.
The opinions should capture the essence of the caption and be easy to answer, prompting a quick selection from my audience. I will choose 3 from the output provided.

Flipping the [Niche-Specific] Script 🔄

Here’s an unpopular opinion: You’ve been lied to. No, not by some hooded figure in a dark alley, but by all those tired, recycled, one-size-fits-all notions around [your niche]. Can we swap those for something fresher?
There was this oddly quiet moment in my [your niche] journey. No eureka. No dramatic background score. Just three unassuming truths:
🔸 Truth 1: [First powerful concept, e.g., “Action Beyond Rituals”]. Forget routines. It’s about crafting daily rituals that resonate. Example? Ditch the [generic action e.g., “nail routine”] for something that genuinely speaks to your spirit.
🔸 Truth 2: [Second powerful concept, e.g., “The Slow-Burn Approach”]. Ditch the flash. Seek the slow embers. Like [specific scenario, e.g., “cultivating nails that breathe, not just glitter”].
🔸 Truth 3: [Third powerful concept, e.g., “Welcoming The Wrinkles”]. The quirks, the hiccups—they’re the narrative. For instance, that time when [scenario e.g., “a nail broke, leading to the discovery of a new shape that defined a season”].
It’s not the concepts that are groundbreaking. It’s their quiet persistence. They’re not shouting from the rooftops; they’re whispering in corridors, waiting for you to listen.

Based on the information of my brand voice and target avatar, write a social media caption of less than 2,200 characters based on the original thought, takeaway and idea.
Use this caption template:
[Insert Caption Template (optional)]
Here is additional context:
[Anything else you want AI to know; any specific personal or brand story you want to tell here?]
The caption should not include hashtags and should have no emojis. It should read [conversational, punchy, informal and down-to-earth] aligning with my brand’s tone.
Add fill-in-the-blank areas where I can input my own words, phrases and story, Mad-lib style.
Include lots of line breaks and make sure the caption feels human and connects with my audience in a relatable and impactful way.
I need you to create [5] opinions to be used in an audience poll based on the thought, story and takeaway in the caption. The opinions/fun options should be informal, conversational, and short in character length (30 characters or less). They should be fun, witty and casual, with a hint of sarcasm. They should vary in opinion and angle but still be fluid.
Think outside the box of either agreeing or disagreeing. You can also play off of fun current events, pop culture, or trends if it fits the concept.
The opinions should capture the essence of the caption and be easy to answer, prompting a quick selection from my audience. I will choose 3 from the output provided.
