AI Prompts for Social Media Marketing

"Take this core announcement: "[Insert Announcement]". Adapt this message into 3 distinct social media posts: 1) A long-form, story-driven LinkedIn post focused on professional takeaways, 2) A highly visual, punchy Instagram caption with relevant emojis and hashtags, 3) A short, witty X/Twitter post that cuts straight to the point. Maintain the brand voice but adhere to the native rules of each platform."

"Create a 30-day social media content calendar for a [Type of Business]. Define 3 core "Content Pillars" (e.g., Education, Behind-the-Scenes, Testimonials). Map out a schedule aiming for 3 posts per week. For each post, provide the topic, the target platform, the content format (Reel, Carousel, Text), and a brief description of the visual asset needed. Ensure a good mix of promotional vs. value-add content."

"Brainstorm 10 scroll-stopping "Hooks" (the first 3 seconds of text/audio) for a short-form video about [Topic]. The hooks must instantly grab attention by doing one of the following: stating a contrarian opinion, dropping a surprising statistic, asking a highly relatable question, or promising a specific transformation. Avoid generic clickbait; make them highly relevant to the target audience."

"Outline a framework for conducting a monthly Social Media Competitor Audit. Specify what metrics and tactical observations to track manually for 3 main competitors (e.g., Posting Frequency, Best Performing Content Formats, Tone of Voice, Comment Engagement Rate). Include a template for summarizing the learnings into 'Threats' and 'Opportunities to Exploit'."

"Draft a short, friendly, but legally sound DM script to send to a customer on Instagram who posted a great photo featuring our product. Request permission to repost it on our brand channels, explicitly state that they will be credited, and ask them to reply with a specific hashtag (e.g., #YesBrandName) to indicate legal consent. Keep it warm and appreciative."

"Create a Social Media Comment Escalation Matrix for community managers. Define the exact protocol for handling: 1) Standard customer service complaints, 2) Trolls or offensive language, 3) Coordinated PR backlash, and 4) Legal/Safety threats. For each category, specify who to contact internally, whether to delete/hide/respond to the comment, and provide a template for the initial public response."

"Write the caption and legal boilerplate for an Instagram Giveaway partnering with [Partner Brand]. Detail the prize (total value $X), the exact entry mechanics (Like, Follow both brands, Tag 1 friend), and when/how the winner will be selected. Crucially, include the necessary legal disclaimers stating that the contest is not affiliated with Instagram, specifying age/geographical restrictions, and warning users about spam accounts."

"Draft a DM pitch to a micro-influencer in the [Niche] space. Propose a product gifting collaboration (PR package/seeding). Be highly complimentary of a specific aspect of their content. Clearly offer the product with no hard obligations, but mention that you'd love a review or tag if they genuinely enjoy it. Provide a smooth call-to-action asking for their shipping address."

"Translate a month of raw social media analytics into a 3-paragraph executive summary for leadership. Metrics: Follower growth +5%, Impressions +40%, but Link Clicks dropped 15%. Explain WHY the impressions surged (e.g., a viral top-of-funnel Reel) and why the clicks dropped (lack of strong CTAs). Conclude with a specific strategic recommendation for next month to convert that new attention into actual website traffic."

"I manage a private Facebook community for [Target Audience]. Engagement has died down. Generate 7 "conversation starter" prompts designed specifically to get users talking to each other, sharing photos, or debating industry topics. Avoid standard promotional questions. Focus on their personal experiences, hot takes, or seeking peer advice."

"Review the current Instagram/Twitter bio for our brand: "[Insert Current Bio]". Rewrite it to maximize conversion and clarity. Ensure it covers: 1) Who we help, 2) Exactly what we do, 3) A clear reason to follow, and 4) A strong Call-to-Action pointing to the bio link. Limit it to 150 characters and use strategic emojis to break up the text."

"A new audio trend is going viral featuring a dramatic realization/plot twist. Brainstorm 3 ways a B2B [Industry] company could participate in this trend. The ideas must be funny and relatable to professionals in this industry, but brand-safe enough not to alienate enterprise clients. Provide the video visual setup and the text overlay for each idea."
