Need fresh ideas, hooks, or captions that actually land? These prompts turn ChatGPT into your social media sidekick — helping you brainstorm, write, and repurpose content fast.

What this includes:

  1. Concepts & content ideas

  2. Competitor & curated content

  3. Post copy & captions

  4. Scripts

  5. Hook writing

  6. Content repurposing

  7. Industry & awareness content

  8. Quotes

Use them to fill your calendar, refine your voice, and grow faster — without burning out.

1. Concepts & Content Ideas

Objective: Come up with fresh, brand-aligned post ideas

Brand [X] has the following positioning: [insert]

Come up with 10 social media content ideas to communicate this brand in a fresh, engaging way

2. Competitor & Curated Content

3. Post Copy & Captions

Objective: Write scroll-stopping captions for each platform

Create 3 Instagram post captions for [product X] using the concept: [Y]  
Tone of voice is [e.g. playful, smart, raw, rebellious]

Also write a Twitter/X thread on [topic] no hashtags, just pure value

Write 3 short-form video scripts for social media with stories aligned to [product] and [audience].

Each should include:  
A strong hook  
A 2–3 sentence narrative arc  
A closing CTA or takeaway

5. Hook Writing

Objective: Brainstorm hooks that grab attention in the first 3 seconds

I have these 5 hooks that worked well before:

“Most marketers get this wrong, and it’s costing them growth”  
“10 reasons I hate marketers (just kidding… kind of)  
“This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen in marketing”  
“The truth is most marketers are bad at marketing. Here’s why.  
“You know what drives me crazy about [insert industry]?Can you suggest 10 more in the same tone and style? Keep them short, punchy, and designed for TikTok or Reels

6. Content Repurposing

Objective: Turn existing content into platform-specific posts

I have this blog: [paste link or summary]. Can you suggest 5 social media content ideas based on it?

Then write post copy for 2 of them for Instagram and TikTok

7. Industry & Awareness Content

Objective: Stay relevant with timely content

Come up with:  
5 relevant industry events for [industry]  
5 awareness days or moments we can tap into

Then suggest 3 angles to post about one of them in a way that fits our brand

8. Quotes & One-Liners

Objective: Shareable, scroll-stopping quotes without the fluff

Come up with 10 contrarian quotes on [topic] no quotation marks or attribution.

Each should be under 15 words and punchy enough for a graphic or tweet

Final tips: From prompts to publishing faster

Stack prompts: Use concept + script + hook to build a full post
Get specific: Add product details, audience segments or TOV to improve the outputs
Build your own mini agency: Use ChatGPT like a strategist, copywriter, and junior producer
Batch create & bulk design: Generate 10–20 posts at once, then drop them into a Canva bulk upload to create dozens of graphics in one go
Stay agile: Use performance data to refine which hooks and content types land best
