The Magic Wand

The most powerful question a content creator could ask their audience:

“If you could wave a magic wand… what would you make disappear?”

I once heard a wedding planner say she asks every couple the same question.

She said it changed her business more than any marketing play ever did.

One couple said:

“We don’t want to answer 200 vendor emails.”

So she created a VIP package that handled the inbox.

Another said:

“We want fewer choices, not more.”

She stopped sending Pinterest boards. Started curating.

She wasn’t just selling ease.

She was removing pain.

And the moment she did that?

Bookings skyrocketed.

Your audience is the same.

They don’t want tips, tricks, or templates.

They want a shortcut. An escape. 

A fix for their “magic wand problems”.

So ask them what they’d make disappear — and build content around that.

The following AI prompt will uncover your audience’s most urgent “make-it-go-away” pain points and turn those emotional triggers into viral content ideas.

Here’s how to use it:

• Fill in your role, niche, and audience

• Paste it into ChatGPT

• Answer each question it asks

• Get 10+ high-emotion ‘magic wand’ content ideas.

Start of prompt.

“I'm a [insert role/business] in the [insert niche/industry], creating content for [insert audience].

Please ask me the minimum necessary questions one by one (not all at once) to help you:

Run it — and turn buried frustrations into breakout content.

Until next time 👋
