6 AI Prompts to Supercharge Your Content Strategy
Looking to level up your content game? Andy Crestodina just dropped a super practical guide showing how AI can transform your content strategy - no fancy tech degree required!
He walks through six copy-paste prompts that help with everything from understanding your audience to finding trending topics that'll actually get engagement.
The guide covers creating audience personas (because AI = Average Information until it knows your audience), crafting email CTAs that convert, discovering social topics people actually care about (hint: opinions trigger algorithms!), generating original research ideas that attract backlinks, finding communities where your target audience hangs out, and using your GA4 data to match topics with promotion channels.
The best part? You don't need to be an AI wizard - just copy, paste, and tweak. Each prompt is ready to use in any LLM (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, whatever you prefer). Read more here.
