Best prompts for content creators

AI prompts for creators who have the idea... but freeze on the first line. Plug in your topic and get back a draft built for the platform you chose.

Creators rarely lack topics. What goes missing first is the framing that fits the channel, like an opener for short video that actually stops someone mid-scroll. Those stalls look like the same problem from the outside, but each format punishes a different mistake, right? These prompts start from the publishing shape you picked, cause a one-size template that treats every platform like it wants the same opening line won't work for you.

AI prompt to write a viral TikTok video script

When the concept is clear in your head but the first three seconds are still blank on the page.

Act as a short-form video writer who knows how TikTok pacing works. Goal: Write a film-ready TikTok script for [TOPIC OR IDEA]. Context: - Audience: [WHO SHOULD STOP SCROLLING AND WHY] - Video length: [15 SECONDS, 30 SECONDS, 60 SECONDS, OR 90 SECONDS] - Format (pick one): [TALKING HEAD, POV, STORYTIME, TUTORIAL, LIST, SKIT, OR GREEN SCREEN] - Goal of the video: [VIEWS, FOLLOWS, LEADS, SALES, OR BRAND AWARENESS] - Proof or details I can show: [REAL FACTS, SCREEN RECORDINGS, BEFORE/AFTER, OR DEMO STEPS] - Must include: [PRODUCT NAME, OFFER, DISCLAIMER, OR CTA DETAILS] Success criteria: - Hook lands in the first 2 seconds - Every line is speakable at a normal pace within [VIDEO LENGTH] - One clear payoff. No meandering middle - Pattern breaks every 5 to 8 seconds so retention stays up - Sounds like a person on TikTok, not a brand deck - Caption and on-screen text add value, not repeat the voiceover word for word Instructions: 1. Name the best hook pattern for this idea (curiosity gap, bold claim, relatable pain, or visual surprise). Say why in one sentence. 2. Write 3 hook options for the first 3 seconds. Keep each under 12 words. 3. Pick the strongest hook and write the full spoken script with timestamps every 3 to 5 seconds through [VIDEO LENGTH]. 4. Add on-screen text cues: what appears on screen, when, and for how long. 5. Add visual notes: camera angle, props, B-roll, cuts, or gestures for each beat. 6. Write a caption under 150 characters plus 5 to 8 hashtags (mix broad and niche). 7. End with a short "Before you film" checklist. Output format: Return sections 1-7 in order. Use the numbered labels exactly as above. Style rules: - Write for the ear. Short sentences. Strong verbs. - No fake urgency and no "you won't believe" filler - Do not invent results, testimonials, or stats unless I provided them in [MUST INCLUDE] - If [GOAL OF THE VIDEO] is sales or leads, one soft CTA at the end. No hard pitch in the hook.

How to use

  1. Put the raw idea in [TOPIC OR IDEA], even if it is messy. One sentence is enough to start.
  2. Add a TikTok URL in [MUST INCLUDE] if your chat tool can open links. Otherwise describe the first 10 seconds and ask for the same pacing with your topic.
  3. Run a second pass with "cut to 30 seconds" or "rewrite hook option 2 as the main script."

Tips

  • Pick one length and stick to it. Scripts balloon when the time limit is vague.
  • Film the hook three ways. TikTok rewards the first three seconds more than perfect lighting.
  • If the script feels flat, ask for "one visual gag in the middle" without changing the payoff.

Example output

Section 1

Hook pattern: relatable pain. Most home cooks already own the fix and never use it.

Section 2

- "Your cast iron is sticky because of this one step."
- "Stop scrubbing cast iron. Do this instead."
- "I ruined cast iron for years until someone showed me this."

Section 3 (excerpt)

0:00-0:03 HOOK
"Your cast iron is sticky because of this one step."

0:03-0:08
"After cooking, you probably rinse it hot and call it done. That leaves a film that builds up."

0:08-0:15
"Salt scrub. Wipe. Thin oil. Heat two minutes. That's it."

Section 6

Caption: The cast iron reset I wish I learned ten years ago.
Hashtags: #castiron #cookinghacks #kitchenhacks #homecooking #foodtok #skillet #castironcare #learnontiktok

Before you film
- Read the hook out loud twice. Cut any word you stumble on
- Check you can finish the script inside [VIDEO LENGTH] at a calm pace

AI prompt for a founder LinkedIn post

When you have a real takeaway from the work and need it to sound like you.

Act as a sharp founder-led content editor. Turn this idea into a LinkedIn post: [IDEA]. Requirements: 1. Start with a clear hook 2. Use simple language 3. Add one practical lesson 4. End with a thoughtful question 5. Avoid hype and generic advice

How to use

  1. Replace [IDEA] with a rough thought, even a single sentence.
  2. Ask for two or three variations, then pick the hook that feels most like you.
  3. Edit one detail to make it specific to your company. Generic posts get ignored.

Tips

  • Tell it your usual tone (dry, warm, blunt) so the draft sounds like you.
  • Cut the last line if the question feels forced.

Example output

We almost shipped the wrong feature for three months.

Customers kept asking for exports. We built them. Usage barely moved.

The real problem was onboarding, not exports...
03

AI prompt to write an SEO blog article

When organic search is the bet and you want the outline locked when writing paragraph one.

Act as an SEO editor who writes blog posts people actually read. Goal: Produce a complete SEO blog article draft for [TOPIC OR WORKING TITLE]. Context: - Primary keyword or phrase: [PRIMARY KEYWORD] - Search intent (pick one): [INFORMATIONAL, COMMERCIAL, COMPARISON, HOW-TO, OR LOCAL] - Reader: [WHO THIS IS FOR AND WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW] - Angle or unique point: [WHAT MAKES THIS POST WORTH READING] - Word count target: [WORD COUNT, e.g. 1200 WORDS] - Brand voice: [PLAIN, TECHNICAL, FRIENDLY, OR PASTE A SHORT SAMPLE] - Must include: [FACTS, PRODUCTS, LINKS, DISCLAIMERS, OR CASE DETAILS] - Must avoid: [TOPICS, CLAIMS, OR PHRASES TO SKIP] Success criteria: - Title and headings match the search intent behind [PRIMARY KEYWORD] - Answer the main question in the first 150 words - Each section earns its place. No filler paragraphs - Natural keyword use. No stuffing - Short paragraphs with scannable headings - Concrete examples where they help Instructions: 1. State the likely search intent in one sentence. Name the main question the reader wants answered. 2. Propose 3 title options under 60 characters. 3. Build a heading outline (H2 and H3 only). One idea per heading. Note which section answers which sub-question. 4. Write meta title (under 60 chars) and meta description (120-155 chars) for the recommended title. 5. Write the full article draft to [WORD COUNT]. Use the outline headings exactly. 6. Suggest internal links: 3 to 5 anchor phrases with the page topic each should point to. Do not invent URLs. 7. End with a short "Before you publish" checklist. Output format: Return sections 1-7 in order. Use the numbered labels exactly as above. Style rules: - Write like a human editor, not an AI brochure - No hype and no fake urgency - Prefer specific facts over vague advice - Do not invent statistics, quotes, or case studies unless I provided them in [MUST INCLUDE]

How to use

  1. Put the exact phrase you want to rank for in [PRIMARY KEYWORD], even if it sounds awkward alone.
  2. Paste a competitor URL in [MUST INCLUDE] and ask "match depth, not wording" in a follow-up.
  3. Run a second pass with "tighten the intro" or "add an FAQ section for People Also Ask."

Tips

  • Give a word count. Without one, drafts balloon.
  • If you have real examples, list them in [MUST INCLUDE]. The model will fill gaps otherwise.
  • Read the outline first. Fix heading order before asking for the full draft.

For best results, give your AI access to:web search

Example output

Section 1

Search intent: informational. The reader wants to know whether cold email still works for B2B outreach in 2026 and what to do instead of blasting lists.

Section 2

Recommended: Does cold email still work for B2B in 2026?

Section 4

Meta title: Does cold email still work for B2B in 2026?
Meta description: Cold email still works for B2B when lists are small and messages are specific. Learn what changed, what to stop doing, and a simple weekly routine.

Section 5 (excerpt)

## Does cold email still work for B2B in 2026?

Yes, but only when the list is narrow and the first line proves you did homework. Mass templates get ignored because inboxes filter noise faster than they did five years ago.

## What changed since 2020

Before you publish
- Confirm every stat came from your notes

AI prompt to co-write a novel scene by scene

For long-form fiction when you want to shape a novel scene by scene and keep the voice consistent across drafts.

We are co-writing a novel. You are my scene partner. We are co-writing a novel one scene at a time. Work in phases and stay with the current phase until I give the next cue. --- PHASE A. Voice test Before any story prose, test the voice on a short scene fragment. If I paste a sample under VOICE SAMPLE, write a 120 to 180 word fragment in that voice from this situation: At 1:14 a.m., a character opens a door and notices one concrete thing in the room has changed. Include one specific detail and leave the change unexplained for now. Then wait. With no sample, offer three versions of the same fragment, each 120 to 180 words. Make the differences clear in plain language and wait. I will pick one or mix traits. Revise the fragment until I reply LOCKED. Move to Phase B when I reply LOCKED. VOICE SAMPLE (optional): <<<VOICE [PASTE 1 TO 3 PARAGRAPHS OF YOUR OWN PROSE OR A PUBLIC-DOMAIN SAMPLE. DESCRIBE FEATURES SUCH AS SENTENCE RHYTHM AND NARRATIVE DISTANCE.] VOICE>>> --- PHASE B. Story spine (short) After LOCKED, write a tight spine with concrete details. - Working title: [WORKING TITLE OR TBD] - Genre and tone: [e.g. LITERARY MYSTERY, DRY HUMOR] - Protagonist: [NAME], wants [EXTERNAL GOAL], needs [INTERNAL SHIFT] - Pressure: [WHAT GETS WORSE IF THEY WAIT] - Promise to the reader: [WHAT KIND OF PAYOFF THIS BOOK OWES] - Creative direction: [TROPES, TONES, OR PLOT MOVES THAT FIT THIS NOVEL] - Opening situation: [WHERE WE START AND WHY TODAY] STORY NOTES (optional): <<<NOTES [PASTE OUTLINE BULLETS, CHARACTER FACTS, OR EARLIER SCENES] NOTES>>> Wait for me to approve or edit the spine. --- PHASE C. Write one scene When I say WRITE SCENE, produce only this block: 1. Scene card - Place and time - Who is present - What changes or becomes clear by the end of this scene - What the reader should feel 2. The scene - Roughly 700 to 1200 words - Stay in the locked voice - Show through action, sensory detail, and dialogue - Let the prose begin directly with the scene. Keep author commentary outside the prose. - Use details specific to the character and place. Let the mood grow from what happens. - Let emotion come through the character's behavior and choices. - Choose specific images and plain wording over familiar metaphors and similes. - Let sentence rhythm vary naturally, with polished lines reserved for precise images. 3. Optional exit beat - Add a sentence when the scene creates natural forward pull. Let every other scene end at its natural beat. 4. Continuity scrap - Changed: [2 to 4 bullets] - Open questions: [1 to 3 questions the reader should still be carrying] - Open threads: [1 to 3 details worth remembering and developing when the story calls for them] Then stop and wait for the next cue. --- Commands I may use later: - WRITE SCENE: [WHAT HAPPENS / WHOSE POV / ANY CONSTRAINT] - TIGHTEN: cut 20% while keeping the scene's natural ending intact - HOTTER: raise conflict in the same scene - QUIETER: more subtext, less speech - REWRITE IN VOICE: same events, closer to the locked sample - NEXT OPTIONS: give three possible next scenes in one line each. I pick. Start now with Phase A.

How to use

  1. Paste a voice sample even if it is rough. One paragraph showing sentence rhythm and narrative distance beats "write beautifully."
  2. Approve the spine before WRITE SCENE. Set the character's want and creative direction first. Prose is cheaper to rewrite than plot.
  3. After each scene, skim the Continuity scrap. Tell the AI which open thread to develop next, or which secret to keep buried.

Tips

  • One scene per turn keeps the voice consistent. Asking for "the whole first act" usually flattens the prose.
  • If the AI drifts into summary or stock language, reply REWRITE IN VOICE and ask for specific details instead.
  • Keep NOTES updated with names, dates, and objects that must stay consistent.

Example output

Phase A (abbreviated)

Voice test, dry literary mystery voice:
"At 1:14 a.m., Mira opened the pantry door. The light was on. She had turned it off before bed. A glass stood on the floor beside the shelves, full to the rim. It was unfamiliar.

'Hello?' she said.

The house stayed quiet. From behind the cereal tins came the soft click of a pen being opened."
[The full 120 to 180 word fragment would continue, leaving the change unexplained.]

Phase C (abbreviated)

Scene card
- Place and time: Mira's kitchen, 1:14 a.m., rain on the glass
- Who is present: Mira alone, then a knock
- Changes by the end: she finds the envelope was opened from inside the house
- Feel: quiet dread with a slow build

The scene
[~900 words of prose in the locked voice. Ends at a natural beat.]

Optional exit beat
The second knock came from inside the pantry.

Continuity scrap
- Changed: envelope seal broken. Mira now suspects someone still in the house
- Open questions: who opened it, and why the pantry light was warm
- Open threads: the pantry knock, plus the missing second page of the letter

AI prompt to create a simple website or landing page

When you need a simple link-in-bio or portfolio page and do not want a website builder yet.

You help non-technical people get a very simple, static website or landing page. Goal: Create one single HTML file with vanilla HTML only. Inline CSS and plain JavaScript in the same file. No frameworks, no build tools, no npm, no React, no extra files. Context: - What the page is for: [WEBSITE PURPOSE, e.g. dog walking, wedding invite, small shop] - Main heading: [HEADLINE OR BUSINESS NAME] - Short description: [ONE OR TWO SENTENCES ABOUT WHAT YOU OFFER] - Contact or call to action: [EMAIL, PHONE, LINK, OR BUTTON TEXT] - Colors or style (optional): [COLORS, MOOD, OR A SITE YOU LIKE] - Extra sections (optional): [SERVICES, PRICES, FAQ, OR PHOTO PLACEHOLDERS] Success criteria: - One file named index.html with HTML, inline CSS, and JS in that single file - Layout works on phone and desktop - Plain language. No jargon - Visual style matches what I asked for in colors or mood when I filled that in Instructions: 1. Before any code, write a short note for the user in plain English: - This is a very simple static page. It does not connect to a database, login, or online shop. - Save the file as index.html on your computer. - To view it: right-click the HTML file, choose "Open with", and pick your web browser (for example Chrome or Firefox). - They can change the text later by opening the file in a simple text editor. 2. Write the full index.html file. Use only vanilla HTML with inline CSS and plain JavaScript. 3. Use placeholder blocks with labels instead of broken image links if photos are needed. Output format: - Start with the plain-English note from step 1. - Then output the complete index.html in one fenced code block. - End with two short tips for small edits they can make themselves. Style rules: - No external dependencies except a free font from Google Fonts if needed - No fake testimonials or invented business details. Use only what I provided or clear placeholders like <YOUR PHONE>

How to use

  1. This is great for bringing ideas to life, but not for interactive web apps.
  2. Ask for a second version with a different look if the first draft is not what you wanted.
  3. Paste your real email or phone into the saved file after you copy the code out of the chat.

Tips

  • One page is enough for a first draft. Ask for more sections only if you need them.
  • If the chat cuts off the code, say "continue the index.html from where you stopped."

Example output

Before you use this page

This is a very simple static website. It is just one file on your computer. It does not take payments, store passwords, or update itself.

Save the code below as index.html. To open it, right-click that file, choose "Open with", and select your web browser.

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <title>Sunny Paws Dog Walking</title>
  <style>
    /* simple layout styles here */
    ...
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <header>...</header>
  <main>...</main>
  <footer>...</footer>
</body>
</html>
```

Two quick edits: change the business name in the main heading. Swap [YOUR PHONE] for your real number.

AI prompt to write rhyming song lyrics

When you need original audio for a reel or short and stock tracks feel wrong for the mood.

You write song lyrics for actual songs someone could sing out loud. Genre: [GENRE] Topic or feeling: [WHAT THE SONG IS ABOUT] Mood: [HAPPY, SAD, ANGRY, CHILL, OR WHATEVER] Who sings it: [SOLO, DUET, OR BAND] Write full lyrics with a verse, a chorus, and at least one more section (bridge or second verse). Rules: - End lines on real rhymes. Match what the genre usually does. Pop and country want clean rhymes. Rap can bend sounds more, but still land the beat. - Write how that genre actually talks. A punk track does not sound like a slow folk ballad. - Keep lines singable. Tight syllables for fast songs. Leave space on slow ones. - Rough beats polished. No ad copy, no greeting-card sentiment. - Cut any line that only exists to force a rhyme. - Do not get meta about "the music" or "this song" unless I asked for that. After the lyrics, write the rhyme scheme for each section in plain text (example: Verse 1 ABAB).

How to use

  1. Put something specific in [WHAT THE SONG IS ABOUT]. "Heartbreak" is vague. "Found their old hoodie in the closet" gives the AI something to grab.
  2. If the first draft rhymes too cleanly, ask for a rewrite with messier phrasing that still lands the chorus.
  3. Read it out loud. If you stumble, tell the AI which line broke the flow.

Tips

  • Name one song you like in that genre so the AI picks up tempo and vocabulary.
  • Ask for a second chorus option if the hook feels too generic on the first pass.

Example output

Verse 1
[Four lines about finding their hoodie after the breakup. Ends on real rhymes, AABB.]

Chorus
[Short hook about still waiting for them to come back. Two lines, AA.]

Bridge
[Two lines that flip the story. AB.]

Rhyme scheme: Verse 1 AABB, Chorus AA, Bridge AB
07

Red Team AI prompt

When the draft feels ready but you want one pass that attacks the weak hook.

Red Team: [PASTE TEXT OR IDEA]

How to use

  1. Replace [PASTE TEXT OR IDEA] with a draft, plan, decision, offer, or argument.

Tips

  • Best when you want a direct critique before you act on something.

Example output

The birthday treasure hunt sounds fun, but the clues may be too hard for six-year-olds.

Make each clue point to something visible in the room, and keep one adult ready with hints.
