The "One Thing = Risk" Headline Geneartor (Wild AI Prompt)

Heya, Dil here.
⚡ Heads-up: Price for my “12 AI Writing Power-Ups” live online workshop goes up again soon. If you want to use psychology to get more leads and sales from your writing…plus get AI to do the heavy lifting for you, now’s the time to jump in → Grab your spot here quick.
There’s a certain type of headline I keep seeing across niches.
Fitness. Skincare. Productivity. Career. Everywhere.
And when it’s done right… it rips through the scroll.
Try it for your own audience.
Here’s an example of the format:
“This One Post-Workout Habit Could Put You At Higher Risk Of Hamstring Injury”
It grabs you by the two things humans can’t resist:
It focuses on one very specific thing…something that might feel just familiar enough to apply to you.
And it hints at a negative consequence you didn’t see coming.
That combo is a psychological cheat code.
When you use this structure in your content (ethically, of course) it doesn’t just spark curiosity.
It makes people feel like they need to know.
Like not clicking would be a mistake.
That’s “loss aversion” at play…and it’s powerful.
Today’s AI prompt helps you use it in your own niche:
💬 The “One Thing = Risk” Headline Generator
What it’s for: Creating ultra-specific, high-curiosity content that grabs attention by warning your audience about something they didn’t know they should be worried about.
How to use it: Fill in your niche, audience, and content type. Then paste into ChatGPT:
I'm a content creator in the [insert niche] niche and my target audience is [insert target audience].
I want to create a [insert content type, e.g., reel, blog post] based on this template:
This One [X] Habit Could Put You At Higher Risk Of [Negative Outcome]
Generate 10 headline ideas for my niche that follow this headline template closely, replacing just the bracketed words.
At the end, ask if I'd like an outline for any headline”
P.S. In my upcoming “12 AI Writing Power-Ups” live online workshop, I’ll show you the psychology-driven “persuasion levers” you can pull in your writing.
More clicks, more leads, more sales, more action.
And I’ll show you how to get ChatGPT or Claude to pull those levers for you in seconds.
Lifetime access to the recording included.
Price goes up again soon.
Until next time.
Cheers.
Dil
