đź’ˇ Pro Content Template #1
List The Most Commonly Misunderstood Items In Your Niche
Your Headline Template:
"[Authority] Shares The [Number] Most Commonly Misunderstood [Items]"
The Inspiration:
“America’s 10 Most Commonly Misunderstood Slang Words”
Why The Headline Works:
Fear: Highlighting misunderstandings taps into our fear of being uninformed or wrong.
Relevance: "Most commonly" suggests there's a high likelihood that the content will be relevant and not obscure.
How To Adapt It For Your Niche:
Pick Your [Authority]: A figure or source in your niche who would have expertise about the misunderstood items. As always — this could be you.
Pick The Misunderstood [Items]: Common ones within your niche that your audience would benefit from learning about. They could be techniques, strategies, methods, frameworks, tactics, etc.
Speed Things Up With ChatGPT:
Copy and paste the following into ChatGPT after filling in your niche and target audience:
Hi ChatGPT,
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:
[Authority] Shares The [Number] Most Commonly Misunderstood [Items]
This template is modeled on the following headline:
America’s 10 Most Commonly Misunderstood Slang Words
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 [Authority] with a relevant authority or expert in my niche.
- Replace [Number] with a specific count of commonly misunderstood items.
- Replace [Items] with a specific category or type of items in my niche.
Examples Using The Template:
For Creators:
Writing: "Author Shares The 5 Most Commonly Misunderstood Rules Of Dialogue Writing"
Photography: "Pro Photographer Shares The 6 Most Commonly Misunderstood Settings On DSLR Cameras"
For Businesses Creating Content (B2C):
