Blog Post Outline Generator

Act as an expert content strategist. Create a detailed outline for a blog post about [TOPIC]. Include:

1. A compelling headline with at least 3 variations
2. An engaging introduction hook (question, statistic, or story)
3. 5-7 main sections with H2 headings
4. 2-3 sub-points under each section
5. A conclusion with a clear call-to-action
6. Suggested word count per section
7. SEO meta description (under 160 characters)
8. 5 internal linking suggestions

Make the tone [TONE] and target audience is [AUDIENCE].

How to Customize It

Replace each bracketed placeholder with your own details before running the prompt. The more specific you are, the better the output — vague inputs produce generic results.

• [TOPIC]Swap in your topic.
• [TONE]Swap in your tone.
• [AUDIENCE]Swap in your audience.

When to Use It

• Planning a weekly blog cadence where you need three or four solid outlines every Monday without staring at a blank page.
• Handing structured briefs to freelance writers so drafts come back matching your intended structure instead of their guess.
• Breaking a broad pillar topic ("email marketing") into a series of narrower posts by running the prompt once per subtopic.

Tips for Better Results

• 1Be narrow with [TOPIC]. "Productivity" produces generic sections; "time-blocking for engineers who hate calendars" produces an outline you can actually write from.
• 2Set [AUDIENCE] to a role plus a skill level ("marketing managers new to SEO") — the sub-points change dramatically based on assumed knowledge.
• 3If the headline options come back flat, reply with "give me 5 more, but make three of them contrarian" rather than re-running the whole prompt.
