AI Prompts for Social Media

You are a viral social media copywriter who studies what makes people stop scrolling. I want to post about [TOPIC / KEY MESSAGE] for my audience of [TARGET AUDIENCE] on [PLATFORM]. Generate 10 distinct opening hooks (the first line/3 seconds) using a mix of proven angles: a bold claim, a surprising stat, a contrarian opinion, a relatable pain point, a 'how to without X' frame, a mistake/warning, a curiosity gap, a before/after, a question, and a story teaser. Each hook must be under 12 words, pattern-interrupt strong, and avoid clickbait that the post can't deliver on. Format as a numbered list and label the angle used for each in parentheses.

You are a senior social media manager writing captions for [BRAND/CREATOR NAME], whose voice is [e.g. witty, warm, no-jargon]. The post is about [WHAT THE POST/IMAGE SHOWS] and the goal is [awareness / saves / clicks / comments]. Write 5 caption variations of varying length: one ultra-short (under 15 words), one medium with a line break and emoji, one storytelling caption, one that asks a question to drive comments, and one with a clear single CTA. Each must open with a strong first line that works as the visible preview before 'more', stay on-brand, and end with a relevant CTA. Add 2-3 caption-friendly hashtags only where natural. Label each variation by type.

Act as a content strategist building a 30-day [PLATFORM] calendar for [BRAND/NICHE] targeting [TARGET AUDIENCE]. Our pillars are [PILLAR 1], [PILLAR 2], [PILLAR 3] and the business goal this month is [GOAL]. Create a table with columns: Day, Content Pillar, Format (Reel / carousel / single image / story / text), Hook/Title, Caption Angle, CTA, and Best Posting Time. Balance the formats across the month, rotate the pillars so no pillar runs two days in a row, and include 2 community/engagement days and 1 promotional post per week. Keep every idea concrete enough to produce, not vague themes. Output only the table followed by a one-line summary of the content mix percentages.

You are an expert at writing Instagram/LinkedIn carousels that get saved and shared. Create a 7-slide carousel teaching [SPECIFIC TOPIC] to [TARGET AUDIENCE]. Slide 1 is a scroll-stopping hook/cover with a bold promise; slides 2-6 each deliver one concrete, actionable point (one idea per slide, short punchy lines, no walls of text); slide 7 is a recap plus a clear CTA (save, follow, or comment). For each slide give me the on-slide headline, the supporting body text (max 25 words), and a brief visual/design note. After the slides, write a caption that reinforces the hook and tells people why to save it. Keep the tone [TONE].

You are a short-form video scriptwriter who understands retention. Write a 30-second vertical video script about [TOPIC] for [TARGET AUDIENCE] on [Reels / TikTok / Shorts]. Open with a 3-second hook that creates an open loop, then deliver the value in 3-4 fast beats, and close with a CTA. Format as a two-column shot list: left column = spoken script / voiceover (conversational, spoken not written, ~70-80 words total), right column = on-screen text and visual/B-roll directions for each beat. Add a suggested trending-style caption and 3-5 hashtags below. Make the pacing snappy and remove any filler words.

Act as an Instagram/TikTok growth specialist. For an account in the [NICHE] niche posting about [POST TOPIC] to reach [TARGET AUDIENCE], build a hashtag strategy of 25-30 tags grouped into three tiers: broad/high-volume (reach), mid-size niche (discovery), and small/specific community tags (engagement), plus 1-2 branded tags. Avoid banned, spammy, or irrelevant tags, and skip any over-saturated tag where my account is too small to rank. Present it as a table with columns: Hashtag, Tier, Why it fits. Then give me a ready-to-copy block of the final hashtags and a one-paragraph note on how to rotate sets across posts to avoid looking repetitive.

You are a content repurposing specialist. Here is my blog post: [PASTE BLOG POST OR URL/KEY POINTS]. Repurpose it into a full week of social content for [PLATFORM(S)] aimed at [TARGET AUDIENCE]. Produce: 1 carousel outline (5-7 slides) from the main framework, 2 standalone single-image posts each built around one key insight, 1 short-video hook + script from the most surprising takeaway, 3 short text/thread posts (one stat, one hot take, one actionable tip), and 1 engagement question post. For each, give the hook, the body, and a CTA, and keep every piece self-contained so it works without reading the blog. Note which platform each is best suited to.

You are the community manager for [BRAND], with a voice that is [friendly / playful / professional]. I'll paste real comments and messages, and you'll write reply options for each. Here are the incoming messages: [PASTE 3-5 COMMENTS/DMS]. For each one, write a reply that (a) matches our brand voice, (b) is warm and human, not corporate, (c) adds value or moves the conversation forward, and (d) where relevant includes a soft, non-pushy CTA. If a comment is negative or a complaint, write a calm, de-escalating reply that acknowledges the person and offers a next step. Keep replies short and label each by the original message.

Act as a social media campaign strategist. I'm launching [PRODUCT/SERVICE/EVENT] on [DATE] to [TARGET AUDIENCE]. Build a 7-day pre-launch-to-launch content plan across [PLATFORMS]. Map a narrative arc: tease and build curiosity early, reveal benefits and proof mid-week, handle objections, then drive urgency on launch day and the day after. For each day give: the goal, the platform(s), the format, the post hook/angle, and the CTA. Include at least one social-proof post, one behind-the-scenes post, one FAQ/objection post, and one limited-time-offer post. Present it as a day-by-day table and end with 3 reusable launch-day hooks.

You are a thread writer known for threads that get bookmarked. Write a Twitter/X thread teaching [SPECIFIC TOPIC] to [TARGET AUDIENCE]. Start with a hook tweet that promises a clear, specific outcome and creates curiosity (no vague 'a thread 🧵' filler value). Then write 6-9 tweets, each one a single complete idea under 280 characters, building logically and easy to skim, with concrete examples or steps rather than abstractions. End with a summary tweet plus a soft CTA (follow / repost the first tweet). Keep the tone conversational and punchy, use line breaks for readability, and number the tweets.

You are a multi-platform social strategist. Take this single core idea: [PASTE IDEA / KEY MESSAGE] for [TARGET AUDIENCE], and adapt it natively for four platforms so none feels copy-pasted. For LinkedIn: a professional, insight-led post with a strong first line and a takeaway. For Instagram: a caption with a hook line, scannable body, emoji, and a save/comment CTA. For Twitter/X: a punchy single tweet plus an optional 1-tweet follow-up. For TikTok/Reels: a spoken hook and a 4-beat script outline. Keep the core message consistent but match each platform's tone, length, and reader intent. Label each section clearly.

Act as a content ideation engine for [BRAND/CREATOR] in the [NICHE] niche serving [TARGET AUDIENCE]. My content pillars are [PILLAR 1], [PILLAR 2], [PILLAR 3], [PILLAR 4]. Brainstorm 30 specific, ready-to-produce post ideas distributed across these pillars. Mix the intents: educational how-tos, myth-busting, relatable/funny, behind-the-scenes, customer-story/social-proof, listicles, contrarian takes, and engagement questions. For each idea give a working title/hook, the pillar it belongs to, the intent type, and the best format (Reel, carousel, single image, or text). Present as a table and ensure no two ideas are near-duplicates. Bias toward ideas that are timeless rather than tied to a passing trend.

You are a conversion-focused social copy editor. Here is my draft caption: [PASTE CAPTION]. The platform is [PLATFORM], the audience is [TARGET AUDIENCE], and my goal is [comments / saves / clicks]. Diagnose what's weak about it in 2-3 bullet points (e.g. buried hook, no CTA, too generic), then rewrite it three ways: a tightened version that keeps my voice, a more story-driven version, and a version optimized purely for the chosen goal. For each rewrite, make the first line stop the scroll, keep it skimmable, and end with one clear CTA. Briefly note what you changed and why under each version.

You are a brand art director and Midjourney prompt expert. I need an on-brand image for a social post about [POST TOPIC] for [BRAND], whose visual style is [e.g. minimal, warm pastels, bold editorial]. Write 3 ready-to-paste Midjourney prompts that share a consistent look so they feel like one brand: describe subject, composition, lighting, color palette ([BRAND COLORS]), mood, and art style, and leave clean negative space for text overlay. Specify aspect ratio --ar 4:5 for the feed and include sensible parameters (e.g. --ar, --stylize). Avoid logos, real brand names, and copyrighted characters. After the prompts, add a one-line note on what text overlay would pair well with each.
