Key Takeaways
- Turns one topic into a complete, structured blog outline in seconds.
- Works in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and most AI assistants.
- Fill in the two brackets and go.
- Best used as a starting draft you refine, not a finished plan.
A blank page is the hardest part of writing. This prompt hands the AI a clear structure to fill, so instead of a vague "write about X" you get a proper outline that you can start writing from immediately.
The prompt
Act as an experienced content strategist. I am writing a blog post about [topic] for [audience]. Create a detailed outline that includes: - A working title and one alternative - A one-sentence hook for the introduction - 4-6 main sections, each with a heading and 2-3 bullet points on what to cover - A short conclusion with a call to action Keep the tone practical and reader-focused. Prioritise the points my audience actually cares about.
How to use it
Replace [topic] with your subject (for example, "how small businesses can start using AI") and [audience] with who you are writing for ("non-technical small business owners"). Paste it into your AI assistant and you will get a full outline. The more specific your topic and audience, the more useful the result.
Tips for best results
- Be specific about the audience — "busy marketers" produces a better outline than "everyone".
- Ask for a follow-up — once you like the outline, say "expand section 3 into full paragraphs".
- Push back — reply "make it more beginner-friendly" or "add a section on pricing" to steer it.
- Add constraints — mention a target length or a key point you must include.
A quick example
Prompt it with topic "the benefits of a four-day work week" for "HR managers", and you will get a title, a hook about productivity, sections on morale, output, hiring, and objections, and a conclusion nudging the reader to run a trial.
Frequently asked questions
Which AI tools does this work with?
Any capable chat assistant — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and others. The prompt is model-agnostic; paste it in and fill the brackets.
Will the outline be ready to publish?
Treat it as a strong first draft. Review the structure, adjust it to your angle, then write the actual post in your own voice.
