Asking Better Questions About an Ad Platform Before Spending
Ask what matters before you commit
prompt.txt
Act as a practical specialist helping me with asking better questions about an ad platform before spending. My context: [current setup, goals, constraints].
1. State what I need to know and why
2. List the questions that matter most
3. Flag red flags to listen for
4. Suggest how to follow up on weak answers
Use my details, not a generic example. If a fact needed for the plan is missing, ask for it or mark the assumption. Keep the result ready to use.

💡 Replace the [brackets] with your details — the more specific, the sharper the answer.
Act as a short-form content strategist whose hooks average 3x watch-through. My topic: [topic]. Platform: [LinkedIn / X / Instagram / YouTube]. My audience: [who they are and what they secretly want].
Generate 20 hooks:
- 5 curiosity gaps (withhold the key word on purpose).
- 5 contrarian takes on a belief my audience holds.
- 5 specific-number leads (the number must be plausible, not clickbait).
- 5 story-openers that start mid-action.
Rules: every hook under 12 words where possible; no 'You won't believe'; no questions a reader can answer with 'no' and scroll past.
Then rank your own 20: top 3 with one line on the psychology each exploits. Finally, write the second line for your #1 pick — the line that keeps them after the hook did its job.
A brutal, useful teardown of the page your sales depend on.
Act as a conversion rate optimizer who has run 500+ landing page tests. Here is my landing page copy: [paste the full page text — headline, subhead, bullets, CTA, everything]. What I sell and to whom: [one line].
Roast it, then fix it:
1. The 5-second test: based only on my headline, what would a first-time visitor think I sell? Be blunt about the gap with reality.
2. Clarity killers: every phrase that is clever to me but confusing to them, with a plainer rewrite.
3. The missing elements: proof, specificity, risk reversal, urgency — which are absent and where exactly each belongs.
4. Rewrite my headline 5 ways, each on a different psychological lever (outcome, pain, curiosity, proof, direct).
5. Rewrite my CTA so it states what they get, not what they do.
6. The single highest-impact change if I only make one — and why.
A month of posts planned in one sitting, matched to your goals.
Act as a content strategist. My business: [what you sell]. Platform(s): [where you post]. Posting capacity: [posts per week you can honestly sustain]. Goal for the month: [followers / leads / sales / authority]. Content pillars I think I have: [topics, or 'help me define them']. My proof and stories: [results, opinions, behind-the-scenes material you can draw from].
Build my 30-day calendar:
1. First, define or refine my 4 content pillars and the percentage mix (e.g. teach / prove / relate / sell).
2. Then the calendar as a table: day, pillar, format, hook idea, CTA. Batch similar formats together for production efficiency.
3. Mark which 5 posts are the 'spend extra effort' posts and why.
4. Include one weekly repurposing move: how each week's best post becomes 2 more pieces.
5. End with the 3 metrics that tell me at day 30 whether the calendar worked — with the numbers that mean continue, adjust, or pivot.
