Stop Asking ChatGPT for “Content Ideas - Use These 5 Prompts Instead

0

If you’re still asking ChatGPT for “content ideas,” you’re leaving an enormous amount of engagement, reach, and creativity on the table.

Instead of generic ideas, you can direct the AI to think like five different experts, each focused on the exact metric you want to improve — saves, views, likes, shares, or comments.

Below are the five prompts you should use, why they work, and how they’ll instantly level up your content game.



1. When You Have Low Saves:

Ask ChatGPT to Think Like a Value-Design Expert

If people aren’t saving your posts, it simply means your content isn’t “reference-worthy.” It might be interesting… but not *useful enough to revisit.*

Use this prompt:

“You are a value-design expert. Help me turn [insert topic] into highly ‘saveable’ content that delivers practical steps, frameworks, or checklists people want to revisit later.

Generate five post ideas that offer clarity, efficiency, or shortcuts.”


Why it works:

This forces ChatGPT to produce tangible, structured, tool-like content—the type that earns you saves, bookmarks, and long-term visibility.


2. When You Have Low Views:

Ask ChatGPT to Think Like an Attention Specialist

Low views = your hooks aren’t strong enough.

And without breaking patterns, you’ll never stop the scroll.

Use this prompt:

“You are a hook and attention specialist. My topic is [insert topic]. Craft five high-retention post ideas built around pattern-breaking hooks, curiosity gaps, or unexpected angles that stop my [insert audience] from scrolling.”


Why it works:

It forces ChatGPT to produce first-line hooks and story angles engineered for retention — not generic educational content.


3. When You Have Low Likes:

Ask ChatGPT to Think Like a Content Resonance Expert

Likes are emotional.

If people don’t feel anything, they won’t tap the heart.

Use this prompt:

“You are a content resonance expert. Help me create content around [insert topic] that sparks an instant emotional reaction. Generate five post ideas that feel bold, opinionated, or insight-packed — something my [insert audience] will want to like because it reflects what they believe or aspire to.”


Why it works:

It pushes the AI to craft emotion-driven, belief-driven takes, not bland tips or tutorials.


4. When You Have Low Shares:

Ask ChatGPT to Think Like a Relatability Strategist

People share content that feels like:

“OMG, that’s *me*. I need to send this to someone.”

Use this prompt:

“You are a relatability strategist. Help me create content around [insert topic] that people feel compelled to share because it mirrors their thoughts, struggles, or daily experiences. Generate five post ideas using emotional triggers, universal truths, or everyday frustrations.”


Why it works:

It produces connection-driven content that reflects your audience’s internal monologue — which is the 1 driver of shares.


5. When You Get No Comments:

Ask ChatGPT to Think Like an Engagement Architect

If comments are low, your content likely doesn’t invite participation.

People need a reason — or an urge — to respond.

Use this prompt:

“You are an engagement architect. Help me transform [insert topic] into conversation-starting content. Generate five post ideas with polarizing questions, ‘pick one’ choices, hot takes, or situations where my [insert audience] can’t help but share their opinion in the comments.”


Why it works:

This produces interactive, debate-triggering content — the kind that naturally builds community and boosts algorithm signals.


Final Thoughts

Stop asking for *ideas.*

Start asking for strategic content engineered for the exact metric you want to move.

With the five prompts above, you turn ChatGPT into:

  • a value designer
  • an attention hacker
  • an emotional strategist
  • a relatability expert
  • an engagement architect

…and your content shifts from “nice” to high-performing.
