## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
I run [YOUR BUSINESS] for [YOUR IDEAL CLIENT]. I'm pasting recent posts from [NUMBER OF ACCOUNTS, e.g. 4] successful accounts in my space, with rough engagement where I have it: [THEIR POSTS AND ENGAGEMENT].

Don't copy them. Study them.
1. Find the patterns behind the best performers: topics, hooks, formats (story, tip, list, behind the scenes, client win), length, and calls to action.
2. Tell me what my audience clearly cares about, based on what gets the most response.
3. Spot the gaps: useful topics nobody in this group covers well.
4. Build a 4-week plan for [YOUR PLATFORM, e.g. LinkedIn], [POSTS PER WEEK, e.g. 3] posts a week. For each post give the day, format, hook line, main point, and an image idea.
5. Write week one in full, in my voice: [YOUR VOICE, e.g. warm and direct, or paste 2 posts].
Every post must sound like me and use my stories and examples, not theirs.
```

## Step by step

1. Pick 3 to 5 accounts in your niche that clearly get engagement.
2. Copy their recent post text and note which ones got the biggest response.
3. Run the prompt, then fill the posts with your own stories.

## What you'll get

The patterns behind your niche's best posts, the gaps you can own, a 4-week calendar and week one written in your voice.
