These prompts are designed for:
- Coaches, consultants, creators
- Authority-led marketing
- Organic audience growth
- Simple, sustainable visibility
Use these content prompts that convert anytime you feel stuck. They work.
PROMPT #1: “I USED TO THINK…”
This is a powerful authority builder because it shows:
- Your own transformation
- A false belief your audience likely holds
- A new perspective they can trust
Template:
I used to think [common belief]. Now I know [new insight]. Here’s how I figured it out…
Example:
I used to think high-ticket sales required long discovery calls. Now I know one powerful event can do the selling for you.
Why It Works: This format positions you as a guide, not just a guru.
PROMPT #2: “MY CLIENT SAID…”
Let your audience hear what it’s like to work with you through someone else’s voice.
Template:
My client said, “[quote].” Here’s the backstory, and what made it possible…
Example:
My client said, “I’ve never felt this clear about my offer before.” We spent 45 minutes reworking her messaging with The Empathy Engine™.
Why It Works: Real words = real proof. Screenshots and quotes build instant trust.
PROMPT #3: “IF YOU’RE STRUGGLING WITH [X], TRY THIS…”
Direct. Helpful. Specific. Converts like crazy.

PROMPT #4: “THE MISTAKE MOST [NICHE] MAKE…”
Call out common errors with empathy and insight.
Template:
The mistake most [coaches, creators, etc.] make is [misstep]. Here’s a better way to think about it…
Example:
The mistake most new coaches make is creating 3 different offers before they’ve sold one. Start with a simple, powerful signature program—then scale.

PROMPT #5: “I BELIEVE…”
This is your North Star content. Great for:
