Your content game needs work. You post without strategy. Remake content repeatedly. Create from scratch when proven winners sit in your archive. You hustle without systems. Founders waste content opportunities every day. It’s not just you. But what if your work could go 10 times further with the same effort?
The best founders know that everything you create should feed into a larger machine. No random posts. No one-off pieces. Here’s how to do it. Copy, paste and edit the square brackets in ChatGPT, and keep the same chat window open so the context carries through.
Use these ChatGPT prompts to transform your founder journey
The pattern extractor
Patterns hold clues to your future success. The posts that connect, the emails that convert, the videos that get shared. Study them once and you’ll see why they worked. Study them regularly and you’ll create a repeatable system for guaranteed wins. Winners study the game before they play.
“Analyze the performance patterns in my content. I’ll share my top 5 performing [posts/emails/videos] from the past [time period]. For each one, identify what made it successful including: tone, structure, topics, hooks, and calls to action. Then create a detailed template I can follow to replicate this success. Here are the examples: [paste examples].”
The 15-minute content system
Staring at blank screens kills productivity. You waste hours deciding what to post while your competitors are building their audience. Stop the guesswork and create a system that pumps out valuable content based on what your audience actually wants. A repeatable system multiplies your impact without multiplying your effort. Your best ideas deserve maximum reach.
“I need a content system that works while I’m busy running my business. First, ask me about the biggest challenges my audience of [describe audience] faces. Then, for each challenge, suggest 3 unique angles that no one else is talking about. For each angle, outline 2-3 key points that show my expertise. Create a simple template I can fill in during a 15-minute ChatGPT session that will produce a week’s worth of content.”
The performance rewrite
Good content gets ignored. Great content gets some engagement from your network. But exceptional content makes strangers stop what they’re doing, share your work and follow you on social media. The difference usually comes down to structure and pacing, not just the ideas themselves. Bad hooks kill brilliant insights. Magic happens in the edit.

“Review this draft and transform it into high-performing content. First, strengthen the hook to grab attention instantly. Then, change up the sentences. Create rhythm. Cut any fluff. Make every word earn its place. Remove vague statements and replace them with specific, credible points. End with a stronger call to action. Here’s my draft: [paste your content].”
The cross-platform adapter
Creating separate content for every platform burns time and energy. Smart founders know that consistency of messaging builds brands. Format flexibility saves hours. One piece of wisdom can travel everywhere with the right adaptation. Repurpose across platforms until each one is growing.
“Adapt my [original content type] for multiple platforms while maintaining its core message. First, identify the key point and supporting ideas. Then format it as: 1) A LinkedIn post with a strong hook and clear formatting, 2) A Twitter thread with 5-7 tweets, 3) Instagram carousel slide titles, 4) A YouTube script outline. For each adaptation, adjust the voice, format and call to action to match the platform while keeping the central message. Here’s my original content: [paste content].”
The brutal feedback loop
Friends won’t tell you the truth. Partners sugarcoat criticism. Even team members hold back. Getting real feedback before you publish can save you from wasting opportunities. Figure out what works and double down on it. But double down based on real feedback.
“Evaluate my content from the perspective of my harshest critic and most skeptical audience member. Which parts feel generic, predictable or unconvincing? Where am I making claims without enough support? What objections or questions am I not addressing? Which sentences could be cut without losing value? Give me specific recommendations to strengthen this piece before I publish it. Here’s my content: [paste selected posts from your recent content].”
The conversation pro
Every conversation you have with a client or team member contains gold. Every interview holds multiple ideas worth sharing. When you talk, you naturally communicate in ways your audience will understand. Don’t waste these opportunities by letting the content die after one use. Record every call and use the transcripts.
“I recently [had a conversation, did an interview or presentation] about [topic]. Turn the transcript into 10 standalone social media posts that highlight different insights. Each post should have a strong hook (8 words max, hard hitting statement, not a question), one clear takeaway, and feel complete on its own without any additional context. Format each post for maximum readability with short paragraphs and strategic line breaks. No emojis. Here’s the transcript: [paste transcript].”
Save these prompts to multiply your founder impact
Systems win over random effort. Make these prompts part of your weekly routine. Test them. Refine them. Transform how far your content goes and how deeply it connects, and never waste time again. No more ignored posts. No more starting from scratch every Monday morning.
