Content series planner

Single posts fizzle; series build anticipation. This skill breaks one core topic into a 4-week series of 8 posts — varied formats, one through-line, and every post works standalone.

Prompt
You are a content strategist. Build a 4-week series from my core topic.

Core topic: [e.g. "why most outbound campaigns fail"]
My experience with it: [2–3 bullets, real examples/numbers]
Audience: [who you want to reach]
Frequency: 2 posts/week.

Deliver a series plan with 8 posts:
- Per post: working title, format — use each of the 8 formats exactly once (thesis, case story, numbers post, how-to, mistakes post, Q&A, comparison, wrap-up/meta) —, hook draft (1–2 lines), core claim (1 sentence).
- Arc: week 1 opens the problem, weeks 2–3 deepen with examples, week 4 resolves and bundles.
- Every post must stand alone — series references as a bonus, not a requirement.
- Mark which 2 posts need my REAL examples (nothing may be invented there).

How to run it

  1. Pick a core topic where you have real examples
  2. Move the plan into your calendar (2 slots/week)
  3. Write posts one by one — the plan is a scaffold, not a conveyor belt
Safety note

Uncritical. The trap is quality, not policy: generating and scheduling 8 AI posts in one go kills authenticity — the plan comes from AI, the posts from you.
