Okay, hey folks, and welcome to this video! Can we plan 30 days of social media content in 10 minutes or less? Usually, using—excuse me—ChatGPT, I think we can, and I'm going to try right now.
I'm recording it for you, so let's see how this goes. As you can see, I've got a fresh ChatGPT window here. I do have the Plus account that I pay for, but for this video, I'm going to use the slightly less powerful version of GPT, which is the 3.
5 because that's available for free. You can use it for free. I know all of you won't have ChatGPT Pro or Plus, it's called, yet.
So, I'm going to go ahead and record this video using the 3. 5 just to make it relatable for everybody. Okay, anyway, there are several variables that I just want to address.
Obviously, 30 days of content is going to mean different things for different people, so let's just assume we want 60 content ideas—an average of two content ideas per day for 30 days. Now, obviously, you're probably not going to post every single day for 30 days in a row. I take weekends off, for example.
But if we come up with 60 content ideas, that’s, for most people, more than enough to get them through a month of content. Okay, and remember, we're just talking about planning here; we're not necessarily talking about creating every word of every piece of content. These are just—we're going to come up with jumping-off points, which actually, you know, doing this up front and batching it can be super duper helpful.
Because the thing that creates overwhelm for a lot of people in creating social media content is not that they can't, you know, technically create the content; it’s that it’s overwhelming to think of what to talk about or what to post about on any given day. Anyways, okay, first step—Step number one—is going to be to tell the robot (and I, for the purpose of this video, will refer to ChatGPT as the robot) to tell the robot who you are and what you do. Okay?
So, hey ChatGPT, let's imagine I’m—and I am—but for the purposes of this, let's imagine I'm a hypnotherapist or a hypnotist or a coach. Hey ChatGPT, I'm a hypnotherapist (and obviously, I am that). But anyways, I’m a hypnotherapist; I see people online for sessions (you can see my spelling is not perfect for sessions), and I help them with a range of goals.
I am certified in hypnosis and let's say NLP. I have two years of experience and many glowing reviews. Okay, and I’m going to tell ChatGPT that.
It’s going to give me this cool response—that's Step one. Okay, Step two is I'm going to give ChatGPT what you might call a persona, but I'm just going to tell it who I want it to act as. You are now my expert social media consultant.
Cool! And it's giving me this whole response of all the things that it is excited to help me with. Okay, quite a thorough response—that’s okay.
We don't even really necessarily need to read that. So, Step one is tell ChatGPT who I am; Step two is tell ChatGPT (the robot) who I want it to act as; and Step three is I want 60 general content ideas for social media. Here’s the prompt that I’m going to use: "What are 60 critical content messages that a [insert your title here]—so I'm going to insert my title, hypnotist, like myself—should talk about in their social media that will educate their following in a manner that both provides tremendous value and will spur their interest in the idea of investing in [here, you would put your main offer].
Let's say hypnosis sessions—or packages—and let's see what it gives us. Okay, chugging right along! Now, I know not all of these are going to be perfect, and not all of them are going to apply to you specifically.
But remember, we're doing this in 10 minutes, right? You can spend a little bit of additional time going through these and refining them and telling—uh, GPT—telling the robot more specifics about what you do. But anyways, we've got, just like that, 60 general hypnosis content ideas right there.
Okay, that was Step three. I gave you the prompt; you can pause the video and use it word for word the way I gave it to you. Step four is to remind the robot of the eight social media content categories.
Okay, so there are eight kinds of categories or themes that we want to use in presenting information and content on social media on a consistent basis, and basically the things like: Are we going to present educational content, behind-the-scenes content, motivational content, testimonial content, etc. ? And I recommend that, you know, you combine a topic with a category to create a specific piece of social media content.
In this case, I'm just going to ask GPT—the robot—to do it for me using this prompt. Right? It says, "Okay, great!
Now can you please create 60 post ideas by combining a critical message with one of the following content categories for each post? " The content categories are: tips and advice, testimonials, case studies, personal insights, motivational content, educational content, behind the scenes, promotional engagement. Those are the eight categories.
I’m going to say, so one content idea would be one critical message plus one category. Thanks! There you go!
It's generating them now, so the first one in a sense here? Certainly! Here are 60 post ideas combining a critical message with one of the content categories you provided.
Okay, so let's see here: number one, the power of the subconscious mind in personal growth. It's suggesting you make this an educational post, and then it even gives you a little tip for how to do it: share practical tips and techniques for harnessing the power of the subconscious mind. Okay, boom!
There's one great content idea. From there, you can make a carousel, you can make a reel, or you could make a caption. How you present that as content is up to you.
Another one: overcoming fears and phobias through hypnotherapy. It says testimonials or case studies, so you could share a success story from a client who conquered their fear or phobia, if that applies. If you have a success story from your client, highlight their journey and positive experience.
If not, you could find a case study. There are a million case studies online of people successfully overcoming fears and phobias using hypnosis. Okay, anyways!
So, you know I’m going to hit it; it’ll max out how much text it gives you in one answer, so you might occasionally have to hit "continue generating. " But there you go! It just keeps spitting out generating content ideas for you, and it has certainly been less than 10 minutes that it's taken me to do this.
I'll probably have to hit "continue generating" once or twice more to get my full list of 60, which gives me a minimum of two per day, or that averages even more than two per day content ideas if I'm not posting on the weekends, for example. And there we go! We did it!
We used ChatGPT in under 10 minutes to come up with 30 days' worth of content ideas. We did a kind of rough and dirty version; you could take your time and feed even more specific information into the robot, and it'll give you even better quality responses. But this is just to illustrate to you a couple of things that you can do that are easy and fast.
Okay, and how to do it. Obviously, I hope you enjoyed this video. If you're not yet a member of the Simple Social Sanctuary, check out RyanMontes.
