In short: This page contains 20 copy-paste ready prompts, organized into 4 categories with a description and pro tip for each. The first 5 prompts are free instantly, no signup needed. Drafted with AI writing assistance and checked against our editorial policy.
Positioning
5 promptsBrand Positioning Statement
1/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a one-sentence personal-brand position with 3 proof points, how you differ, an angle people cannot ignore, topics to skip, and a focus filter. Use [describe] for background, audience, and current state plus an expertise [list], then drop one topic from this week's posts.
<task>Position my personal brand</task> <background>[describe]</background> <expertise>[list]</expertise> <audience>[describe]</audience> <current_state>[describe]</current_state> <output> 1. 1-sentence positioning 2. 3 proof points 3. Differentiation from others 4. Unignorable angle/POV 5. What NOT to talk about 6. How this shows in content </output>
Pro tip: Personal brands fail from being everything to everyone. Pick one audience + outcome + method. "Positioning coach for B2B SaaS founders" beats "Marketing expert." Narrow wins.
Niche Definition
2/20✨ What it does
Claude scores 5 possible niches on audience, competition, commercial fit, and personal fit, then names ONE to keep for 12 months plus how to narrow it. Enter [list 5-10] interests and [describe] your perspective and goals, then commit to that one niche for the year.
<task>Find my niche</task> <interests>[list 5-10]</interests> <unique_perspective>[describe]</unique_perspective> <commercial_goals>[describe]</commercial_goals> <output> 5 potential niches: audience size, competition, commercial viability, personal fit. ONE to commit to for 12 months. How to narrow further. Red flags of too-broad.
Pro tip: Niche isn't what you know — what you decide to be known for. Pick intersection of what you know × what sells × what you can talk about for 5+ years.
Unique Value Proposition
3/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a one-sentence unique value proposition that survives a so-what test, why it is defensible, how it shows in content, 3 bio and pitch variants, and language to avoid. Map the offer, audience, and competitors in [describe], then put the sentence on your site first.
<task>Write my UVP</task> <offer>[describe]</offer> <audience>[describe]</audience> <competitors>[describe]</competitors> <output> 1. UVP in 1 sentence passing "so what?" test 2. Why defensible (what I have others don't) 3. How it shows in content 4. 3 variations for contexts (bio, pitch, elevator) 5. Language to avoid </output>
Pro tip: Best UVP is provable with specific examples. "I help founders scale past $10M" is proven by 3 founders you scaled. Proof > promise. Lead with stories, not claims.
Content Pillars
4/20✨ What it does
Claude defines 4-5 content pillars, each with a topic, a signature take, 20-plus post ideas, and the audience need it serves. Outline niche and expertise in [describe], then write the next four posts from one pillar only.
<task>Define 4-5 content pillars</task> <niche>[describe]</niche> <expertise>[describe]</expertise> <output> Pillars each: specific topic, signature perspective I'm known for, 20+ post ideas inside, audience need served. Example: "Pillar: Positioning. Signature perspective: narrower always wins."
Pro tip: Pillars without opinions = generic content. Pillars with takes = brand. "I post about marketing" weak; "I post about why pre-PMF startups need different marketing" = brand.
Brand Audit
5/20✨ What it does
Claude audits [LinkedIn, Twitter, site, YouTube] for name and photo consistency, positioning, content fit, CTAs, proof, gaps, and a 30-day fix plan. Open each profile, then complete the first week of that fix plan before you post again.
<task>Audit my current presence</task> <links>[LinkedIn, Twitter, site, YouTube]</links> <output> 1. Consistency of name, photo, bio 2. Clarity of positioning per platform 3. Content alignment with claimed expertise 4. Obvious CTAs 5. Proof signals visible 6. Missing elements 7. 30-day fix plan </output>
Pro tip: Most personal brands are leaky buckets — great content, broken bios, inconsistent visuals. 6-monthly audits tighten the funnel. Weakest platform = brand ceiling.
Bio & Profile
5 promptsMulti-Platform Bio Writer
6/20✨ What it does
Claude writes four bios: 160 characters for X, a 220-character LinkedIn headline, a 500-800 character About, and a 150-word speaker bio, each with who you help and what to do next. Use [describe] for role, expertise, and angle, then paste each length onto the matching profile.
<task>Write bios in 4 lengths</task> <role>[describe]</role> <expertise>[describe]</expertise> <angle>[describe]</angle> <output> 1. 160-char Twitter/X bio 2. 220-char LinkedIn headline 3. 500-800 char LinkedIn About (above "see more") 4. 150-word website/speaker bio Each: who I help + how + what to do next. Consistent voice, platform-appropriate.
Pro tip: Bios are most-read copy of personal brand. Appear on every comment, DM, search result. Tailored bios per platform 2-3× click-through vs generic copy-paste.
About Page Writer
7/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a personal About page with a bold first line, the origin moment, who you help, proof, and a personal touch. [describe] the story and expertise and [paste] voice samples, then publish the page after the first line still earns a click.
<task>Write personal website About page</task> <story>[describe]</story> <expertise>[describe]</expertise> <voice_samples>[paste]</voice_samples> <output> 1. Hook first line (bold claim, question, stat) 2. Origin story — the moment finding niche 3. What I do + who I help 4. Proof (clients, press, stats) 5. Personal touch 6. Next step CTA 400-600 words.
Pro tip: About pages fail when they read like resumes. Resumes tell what you did; About pages tell who you are and why to trust you. Humans buy from humans.
Email Signature
8/20✨ What it does
Claude writes an email signature under 6 lines with name, title, a one-line tagline, one primary link, 1-2 socials, and an optional motto, with no cliches. [describe] the role and the primary CTA, then replace the old signature in your client.
<task>Personal brand email signature</task> <role>[describe]</role> <primary_cta>[describe]</primary_cta> <output> Name + title + 1-line tagline + primary link + 1-2 socials + optional motto. Under 6 lines, no cliches.
Pro tip: Email signature gets seen 100+ times/week. Most waste on "Sent from iPhone." 5-line signature with newsletter link can drive 50+ subscribers/year effortlessly.
Podcast Guest Bio
9/20✨ What it does
Claude writes podcast-guest bios at 50, 150, and 300 words, plus 3 facts a host can use and 5-10 episode topics. Use [describe] for role and narrative and a credential [list], then send the 150-word version with the topic list.
<task>Podcast guest bio</task> <role>[describe]</role> <credentials>[list]</credentials> <narrative>[describe]</narrative> <output> 1. 50-word short 2. 150-word medium 3. 300-word long with narrative 4. 3 fascinating facts hosts can use 5. 5-10 sample episode topics </output>
Pro tip: Podcast hosts are lazy about intros. Give bio they can paraphrase + 3 facts they can't help but use. Great guests make host's job easier, get invited back.
Speaker Bio + One-Sheet
10/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a 100-word speaker bio, 3 signature talk titles with descriptions and takeaways, testimonial blanks, an AV and travel rider, and a booking contact. Put topics and credentials in each [list], then attach the one-sheet to the next inquiry.
<task>Speaker bio + one-sheet</task> <topics>[list]</topics> <credentials>[list]</credentials> <output> 1. 100-word speaker bio 2. 3 signature talk titles + descriptions 3. Audience takeaways per talk 4. Testimonial placeholders 5. Technical rider (AV, travel) 6. Booking contact </output>
Pro tip: Event organizers pick speakers from one-sheet in 30 seconds. Specific signature talks, scannable credentials, quotable testimonials. Vague one-sheets lose.
Content & Thought Leadership
5 promptsThought Leadership Essay
11/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a 1,000-1,500 word thought-leadership essay with a moment hook, a bold thesis, 3-4 points, the strongest counter, and a practical takeaway. Add [contrarian or under-discussed take] and [paste] voice samples, then edit until the thesis still sounds like you.
<task>1,000-1,500 word thought leadership essay</task> <topic>[describe]</topic> <pov>[contrarian or under-discussed take]</pov> <voice_samples>[paste]</voice_samples> <output> Hook anchored in specific moment → state thesis boldly → 3-4 supporting points with examples → strongest counter-argument → practical takeaway → close that lingers. First person, flowing paragraphs.
Pro tip: Thought leadership = sharing original takes, not thoughtful ones. If your essay could have been written by any expert in your field, rewrite. Specificity + contrarian = authority.
Signature Frameworks
12/20✨ What it does
Claude invents 2-3 named frameworks you can own, each with the problem, steps, when to use it, and an example. [describe] your expertise and put recurring problems in [list], then teach one framework in your next post.
<task>Develop signature frameworks I can own</task> <expertise>[describe]</expertise> <recurring_problems>[list]</recurring_problems> <output> 2-3 original frameworks with memorable names. Per framework: problem solved, steps/components, when to use, example.
Pro tip: Frameworks = how you get credited. Nobody remembers "5 good tips" but everyone remembers "StoryBrand Framework." Name your thinking, own a piece of someone's mental model.
Hot Take Post
13/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a 200-400 word hot take on [topic] with a bold opening, 2-3 specific reasons, the common counter, why you still hold the view, and a practical implication. Add [specific contrarian POV], then post it only if you would defend it on a call.
<task>Hot take post on [topic]</task> <angle>[specific contrarian POV]</angle> <output> 200-400 words: bold opening take → 2-3 reasons with specificity → common counter-view acknowledged → why your take is still right → practical implication. Confident, not arrogant.
Pro tip: Hot takes work when sincerely held, not performed. Readers smell fake controversy. Best spreading takes voice readers' quiet thoughts — "I knew this but couldn't articulate it."
Case Study Post
14/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a case-study post that opens on a surprising result, covers context, 3-5 decisions, [with numbers] results, and a lesson you can teach. Recount the situation and actions in [describe], then share the lesson and leave the flex out.
<task>Case study post from my experience</task> <situation>[describe]</situation> <actions>[describe]</actions> <results>[with numbers]</results> <output> Hook with surprising result → context → 3-5 specific decisions + why → results with numbers → transferable lesson. Teach, don't flex.
Pro tip: Case studies = credibility + education in one. Lead with result. Case studies that brag get skipped; ones that teach get shared.
Signature Content Series
15/20✨ What it does
Claude designs a signature series for [weekly / bi-weekly] [essay / video / podcast / thread] with a name, a predictable format, 10 kickoff titles, distribution, and how it becomes a body of work. Anchor the series in [describe], then record or write episode one this week.
<task>Design signature content series</task> <niche>[describe]</niche> <frequency>[weekly / bi-weekly]</frequency> <format>[essay / video / podcast / thread]</format> <output> 1. Series name 2. Predictable format 3. 10 episode titles to kick off 4. Distribution plan 5. How it builds body of work 6. Leverage (compilation, book, course) </output>
Pro tip: Signature series compound. One-off posts forgotten in 48h. "Friday Founder Stories" done weekly for 52 weeks becomes body of work — and book deal.
These prompts give you the what. Tutorials give you the why.

Outreach
5 promptsPodcast Pitch Email
16/20✨ What it does
Claude writes an under-200-word pitch to guest on [podcast] that cites a recent episode, names your angle, offers 2-3 talk ideas, fits the show, and makes the next step easy. [describe] the host and your expertise and add episode [topics], then send it after you have actually listened.
<task>Pitch to be guest on [podcast]</task> <host>[describe]</host> <recent_episodes>[topics]</recent_episodes> <expertise>[describe]</expertise> <output> Personalized opener referencing episode → unique angle I bring → 2-3 specific talk ideas → credentials fitting show → easy next step. Max 200 words.
Pro tip: Winners reference specific episode details (not "love your show"). Propose episode TITLES, not vague "love to chat." Give hosts less work, they'll book you.
Media/Journalism Pitch
17/20✨ What it does
Claude writes an under-150-word press pitch to [publication] with a newsy subject, a personalized opener, a story hook, a why-now peg, what you bring, and an easy next step. [describe] the journalist and [fits their beat] angle, then send it only if the peg is still timely.
<task>Pitch to journalist at [publication]</task> <journalist>[describe]</journalist> <angle>[fits their beat]</angle> <my_story>[describe]</my_story> <output> Newsy subject → personalized opener → story hook → why now (news peg) → what I bring → easy next step. Max 150 words.
Pro tip: Journalists get 100+ pitches/week. Winners have: news peg + specific angle fitting publication + quotable expert. "Thought you'd find interesting" = dead. "Here's a story your readers need now" = replied.
Guest Post Pitch
18/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a 150-word guest-post pitch to [publication] with 3 titled ideas, why you are qualified, 2-3 sample links, and a low-commitment next step. [describe] the outlet and add a recent-article [list], then send the pitch after those links still load.
<task>Pitch guest post to [publication]</task> <publication>[describe]</publication> <recent_articles>[list]</recent_articles> <output> Personalized opener showing I read them → 3 article ideas with titles + summaries → why qualified → 2-3 sample links → low-commitment next step. 150 words.
Pro tip: Biggest mistake: proposing topics already covered. 15 min on their archive. Propose angle they HAVEN'T covered, not the obvious one.
Collab Pitch
19/20✨ What it does
Claude writes a 150-word collab pitch to [peer creator] with a specific detail, the concept, mutual benefit, an easy format, and a low-stakes next step, peer to peer rather than fan mail. Use [describe] for their work, the overlap, and the concept, then send the easy version.
<task>Pitch collab to [peer creator]</task> <their_work>[describe]</their_work> <overlap>[describe]</overlap> <concept>[describe]</concept> <output> Warm opener with specific detail → collab concept → mutual benefit → easy-for-them format → low-stakes next step. Peer tone, not fan. 150 words.
Pro tip: Great collabs feel inevitable — overlap obvious. Pitch ones making sense at first glance. Forced collabs die before launching.
Speaking Gig Inquiry
20/20✨ What it does
Claude writes an under-200-word speaking inquiry for [event] with why you fit, 2-3 talk proposals and takeaways, proof, and availability. [describe] the event, audience, and expertise, then send it only if you can actually travel on those dates.
<task>Inquire about speaking gig at [event]</task> <event>[describe]</event> <audience>[describe]</audience> <expertise>[describe]</expertise> <output> Specific subject → why this event fits me → 2-3 talk proposals with takeaways → proof → availability. 200 words max.
Pro tip: Bookers book speakers fitting their audience, not most impressive credentials. Propose talks specifically for their attendees. Shows you understand who's in the room.
