Prompt: Generate Blog Post Ideas

"What should I write about?" is the question that kills content consistency. You sit down to write, cannot think of a topic, and push it to next week. Repeat that cycle and your blog dies quietly.

This prompt generates blog post ideas tied to your actual strategy so you always have a queue to pull from. Use it to prompt generate blog post ideas that serve your business, not just fill space.

The Prompt

Generate 30 blog post ideas for my business.

BUSINESS: [What you do and who you serve]
PRIMARY KEYWORDS: [5-10 keywords you want to rank for]
EXISTING CONTENT: [List your last 10-20 blog posts so ideas don't overlap]
AUDIENCE PAIN POINTS: [Top 5 problems your readers have]
CONTENT GOALS: [e.g., "Drive organic traffic," "Support sales conversations," "Build authority"]
COMPETITORS BLOGGING ABOUT: [Topics your competitors cover that you do not]

For each idea, provide:
1. Working title (specific enough to write from)
2. Target keyword or phrase
3. Content type (how-to, opinion, framework, case study, comparison, listicle)
4. Search intent (informational, commercial, transactional)
5. Difficulty estimate (easy/medium/hard based on research and depth required)
6. One-sentence angle (what makes THIS take different from the other 50 articles on this topic)

Organize ideas into three tiers:
- TIER 1 (Publish first): High search volume, low competition, directly supports business goals
- TIER 2 (Publish next): Medium search volume, builds authority in your niche
- TIER 3 (Backlog): Good ideas that can wait, useful for filling gaps later

Rules:
- No generic topics. "Marketing Tips" is not a blog post idea. "How to Cut Your Meta Ads CPA by 30% Without Changing Your Creative" is.
- Every idea must have a clear reader benefit in the title
- No ideas that overlap with existing content listed above
- Include at least 5 ideas that directly address the listed pain points
- Include at least 3 ideas that counter or improve on competitor content

Working the Output

Take the Tier 1 ideas and schedule them for the next month. That alone solves the "what should I write" problem for four weeks.

For each idea, follow up with: "Write a detailed outline for [title] including H2 headings, key points per section, and the opening hook." Now you have an outline and a title. Writing the post takes half the time.

Refreshing the Queue

Run this prompt monthly with updated inputs. Swap in new existing content (so it does not repeat), update pain points based on customer conversations, and adjust keywords based on search console data.

A rolling content queue means you never hit zero. And that consistency is what builds organic traffic over time.
