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 use this prompt

Open Claude (e.g. claude.ai or chatgpt.com) in a new chat.
Hit “Copy” above and paste the text in.
Replace every [square bracket] with your real details before you send.
Check the result. If it is too generic, just tell it what to change, e.g. “shorter, with one concrete number” or “give me variant 2 in my voice”.

The workflow around it

Pick a core topic where you have real examples
Move the plan into your calendar (2 slots/week)
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.
