I posted content for 6 months and wondered why nothing was growing. Then I ran this prompt on my own posts.
Not because the content was bad. Because I could finally see exactly why it wasn't working.
I'd been posting things that looked right but had no actual point of view. Clean, structured, forgettable.
This is the prompt I now run on everything before I post it:
Review this piece of content before I post it.
Content: [paste here]
Platform: [where it's going]
Goal: [what it needs to do]
Check for:
1. Does the hook make someone stop scrolling —
specifically why or why not
2. Does it sound like AI wrote it — flag any
phrases that give it away
3. Is there a clear point of view or does it
sit on the fence
4. Is the CTA natural or does it feel forced
5. What's the one thing I should change
before posting
Be direct. Don't tell me it's good if it isn't.
First post I ran through it, it told me my hook was passive, my opinion was buried in paragraph three, and two phrases sounded like AI wrote them.
It was right on all three. Changed them. Posted it. Best performing post I'd had in months.
I use this now before everything goes live. Takes two minutes.
Got a load more like this in a content pack I put together here if you want to check it out
