Brainstorm content ideas

It’s common for content creators to hit a brick wall when coming up with new content ideas. If you’re not sure what type of content to publish next, turn to AI. Start creating with these examples of AI prompts for influencers:

  • I create DIY content on social media, and my audience is largely women in their 30s. Come up with 20 easy DIY content ideas I can post about.
  • Provide social media content ideas for these upcoming holidays: Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Father’s Day, and the Fourth of July.
  • Help me come up with five social media content ideas that celebrate American-made cars.
  • I run a social media account for my pet corgi, and I sometimes include posts where I dress him up in fun costumes. Help me come up with ten content ideas for this upcoming summer.

Create a social media content calendar

Influencers need to stay organized by creating a content calendar. If you don’t want to spend too much time creating a content calendar, let AI take the reins. Check out these content scheduling prompt examples to get started:

  • Create a content calendar for June, July, and August based on my social media account: [URL}. Most of my followers live on the East Coast.
  • What’s the best time to post during the holidays?
  • Create a January content calendar that focuses on interactive content like quizzes or polls for a social media account on [topic].
  • I want to share so many amazing photos from my destination wedding with my followers, but I don’t want to cause content fatigue. Create a content calendar to help me space out my posts?

Get more engagement across your accounts

Engagement is essential for content creators and influencers. Use AI to find more ways to increase engagement with your followers. Here are examples of prompts you can try:

  • Create five different quizzes about diamonds for my social media channels.
  • How can I respond to positive comments on my social media posts?
  • Come up with ten different questions to ask my social media followers this month that will help me build engagement.
  • What’s the best way to host a giveaway if I want to increase my social media engagement?

Collaborate with brands or other influencers

Creating content with brands or other influencers is one way to promote yourself on social media. Online partnerships help people discover your social media accounts, making it easier to gain followers. If you want to reach out to influencers or brands for a collaboration, consider these example prompts:

  • I have followed a chef with a large following on social media for years, and I would love to create content with her. Can you draft a cold email to her that shows my appreciation for her posts while expressing a desire to collaborate with her?
  • I’m a lifestyle influencer. I want to promote different brands’ products on my social media accounts in exchange for free stuff. Create a brief but polite, generic email template to reach out to multiple different brands.
  • I’m a makeup content creator. List ten new indie makeup brands I should reach out to. I’m interested in promoting their brand in exchange for free or discounted makeup.
  • List ten up-and-coming health and wellness influencers I should DM to help me grow my content.

AI is a great tool for content creators and social media influencers looking to enhance their content and grow their audience. Learn more about how to use AI for social posts or how to spot bots.
