Try UpViral to turn this attention into real revenue
🧲 1. Lead Magnet: Create Irresistible Entry Points
Before you ask for attention, give insane value.
Prompt:
“What’s one small but high-leverage thing I can give away that makes people think ‘If this is free, I need to see what else they have’?”
Examples:
- A free swipe file: “Steal My 10 Highest-Performing Hooks”
- A niche-specific calculator: “Find Out What Your [X] Is Costing You”
- A mini-audit: “Drop your profile for a free 3-line breakdown”
Tip: Make it small, specific, and easy to consume in under 5 minutes.
🎯 2. Topic Generation: Build Authority with Precision
Most creators lose before they even start—by choosing boring, broad topics.
Prompt:
“Generate specific, in-depth, non-generic topics to position me as an Authority in my industry.”
Examples:
- “How I increased client retention 42% by changing 1 onboarding question”
- “Why LinkedIn carousels are dead (and what’s replacing them)”
- “The secret framework $100M brands use to post daily without burnout”
Tip: Use your expert edge to share what the average person can’t Google.
🧠 3. Scroll-Stopping Hooks: Grab Attention in One Second
The first 2 seconds determine if your content gets consumed. Go hard or get ignored.
Prompt:
“Write 10 curiosity-pulling, interrupt-style hooks that make people feel like they’ll miss out if they scroll past.”
Hook Styles:
- 🔥 Contrarian: “Everyone says do this… I don’t.”
- 😱 Shock Value: “You won’t believe what happened at 100K followers…”
- 🧩 Cliffhangers: “I nearly deleted this post. But then…”
Tip: Don't start soft. Start with a punchline, stat, or personal twist.
🌀 4. Open Loop Retainers: Keep Them Watching or Reading
Your job isn't just to get attention—it’s to hold it.
Prompt:
“How can I turn this point into a mini-story with tension and an open loop that pays off in the last 5 seconds?”
Example:
“I spent 6 months trying to grow on TikTok. Nothing worked… until I figured out this one content switch.”
Structure:
Setup → Conflict → Tension → Cliffhanger → Resolution
Tip: People stay for stories. Especially if there’s a lesson waiting at the end.
📸 5. Proof Layering: Show You Know Without Bragging
Authority today isn’t claimed—it’s earned and shown through subtle signals.
Prompt:
“Give me 5 ways to show my results, status, or insights without looking like a flex.”
Examples:
- “Here’s what happened when I stopped using ChatGPT prompts the wrong way…”
- Screenshot with a breakdown of results
- Behind-the-scenes of your process or decision-making
Tip: Give the audience a window into your brain, not your bank account.
❤️ 6. Emotional Triggers: Speak to the Feelings That Drive Sharing
People don’t share because of facts—they share because of how something makes them feel.
Prompt:
“Which emotions cause my audience to share, save, or DM—and how can I bake them into this story/post?”
Top Share Triggers:
- Frustration (with broken industry norms)
- Surprise (unexpected insights)
- Validation (you’re not alone)
- Empowerment (I can do this too)
Tip: Tap into pain or desire. Bonus points for both.
🗣 7. CTA Stacking: Turn Viewers Into Commenters and Buyers
A good CTA doesn’t feel like a pitch—it feels like a conversation.
Prompt:
“Write 3 smooth CTAs that drive comments, DMs, or shares — using curiosity, identity, or controversy.”
Examples:
- “Want my prompt vault? Comment ‘VAULT’”
- “Agree or disagree—what would you have done?”
- “Tag the person who needs this system.”
Tip: Layer CTAs for action + engagement without begging.
♻️ 8. Reuse Engine: Multiply Reach With Smart Repurposing
You don’t need more ideas—you need better distribution.
Prompt:
“Give me 5 ways to remix this post into formats for TikTok, Threads, Shorts, Carousels, and Email — with platform-specific styles.”
Example Workflow:
- TikTok: Story hook version
- LinkedIn: Value thread
- Carousel: Visual step-by-step
- Email: Expanded case study
- Threads: Condensed breakdown
Tip: Create 1 core post, then tailor it to 5 platforms.
📲 9. Value Share Magnet: Get Shared Like Gospel
The more screenshots and saves you get, the higher your reach.
Prompt:
“What visual, list, or swipeable asset can I create that people screenshot or forward to others?”
Examples:
- Cheatsheets
- Framework infographics
- ‘How I did X in Y’ swipe formats
Tip: Think like Canva. Make content that looks like it belongs in a swipe file.
🔁 10. Feedback Loop: Double Down on What Works
The secret to sustainable virality? Listening to your audience signals.
Prompt:
“What got the most comments, saves, or shares this month—and how can I make 5 new angles from it?”
Recycle Method:
- Break it into micro-content
- Flip it with a new opinion
- Turn into a new lead magnet
- Add a case study layer
- Use in a live/podcast format
Tip: Viral content is often volume + evolution, not just luck.
