This week’s Pivot U pro video lesson goes through this framework…
Plus how to use ChatGPT to speed up the process.
Learn how to use these two tools to find viral content ideas on demand.
💡 Pro Content Template #1
Let Your Audience Know What The Most Difficult Items In Your Niche Are
Your Headline Template:
"The [Number] Hardest [Category Items] To [Verb]"
The Inspiration:
“7 US National Parks With The Hardest Hikes”
Why The Headline Works:
Extremes: Audience members are intrigued by what makes these items the "hardest". We're drawn to content about extremes — "hardest", "most expensive", "longest", etc.
Specificity: Providing a clear number and category sets precise expectations.
How To Adapt It For Your Niche:
Define The [Verb]: Identify a specific task or activity within your niche that can be categorized according to difficulty level.
Specify The Category Items: Choose specific items within your niche that are relevant to the [verb] and represent the "hardest" to achieve.
Speed Things Up With ChatGPT:
Copy and paste the following into ChatGPT after filling in your niche and target audience:
I'm a content creator in the [insert niche] niche and my target audience is [insert target audience]. I want to create content based on the following headline template:
The [Number] Hardest [Category Items] To [Verb]
This template is modeled on the following headline:
"The 5 Hardest Bodyweight Exercises To Master"
Generate 10 headline ideas for my niche that follow this headline template closely, replacing just the bracketed words. The content should cover specific topics relevant to the niche and should not be generic or broad.
Each headline should:
- Replace [Verb] with a specific task/activity within my niche that can be categorized according to difficulty level.
- Replace [Category Items] with specific items that are relevant to the [Verb].
Examples Using The Template:
For Creators:
Photography: "The 6 Hardest Shots To Capture In Low Light"
Travel: "The 4 Hardest Countries To Obtain A Visa For"
For Businesses Creating Content (B2C):
Travel Agency: "The 5 Hardest U.S Destinations To Book During The Summer"
Fitness Coach: "The 5 Hardest Bodyweight Exercises To Master"
For Businesses Creating Content (B2B):
Logistics Consulting: "The 4 Hardest Supply Chain Challenges To Overcome"
Service: "The 5 Hardest Customer Complaints To Resolve"
🔒️ Pro Content Template #2
