Let’s be honest: sometimes staring at a blank content calendar feels like staring into the void. You’ve got ideas – sort of – but stringing them into scroll-stopping captions, email hooks, or an ad line that doesn’t sound like a fridge manual? Tough stuff.
That’s exactly where ChatGPT can be magical (and no, not in the “AI takes over your job” kind of way — more like a brainstorming buddy that never gets tired).
So, I’ve collected 50 prompts. Real, practical, human-friendly prompts you can plug into ChatGPT to create clever, useful, thumb-stopping marketing and social content. Use them as-is, or customize them. No stiff corporate talk. No robotic scripts. Just real content helpers.
