Spark Curiosity Without Chasing Clicks

Sell Like a Human, Not a Billboard
Stop Posting Randomly ā Start Building a Flow
Letās break it all down š
1. Spark Curiosity Without Chasing Clicks
Most creators focus way too much on looking smart when they should be sparking curiosity.
This first prompt helps you grab attention without screaming for it.
Itās designed for the top of funnel ā that first point of contact with a cold audience.
The goal?
Stop the scroll and create an āOmg wait, thatās meā¦ā moment.
š¤ ChatGPT Prompt:
Act as an elite-level funnel copywriter with 10+ years of experience creating high-conversion content for digital marketing funnels.
I need you to create 3 powerful hooks for [social media platform] in my niche: [insert niche].
For context:
- My target audience: [describe your ideal customer - age range, gender split if relevant, income level, education level, professional background]
- Their primary pain points: [list 2-3 main problems they face]
- Their aspirational goals: [what they're trying to achieve]
- My product/service solves: [brief description of your solution]
- My brand voice is: [casual/professional/authoritative/friendly/etc.]
For each hook:
1. Create a pattern-interrupting first line designed to stop the scroll (15-20 words max)
2. Follow with 2-3 punchy sentences building curiosity about a specific mistake people make in this niche
3. End with a compelling promise or question that makes them want to save the post
Requirements:
- Each hook should highlight a different common mistake that people don't realize is holding them back
- Use psychology triggers like loss aversion, curiosity gaps, and status anxiety
- Include specific numbers or statistics when possible (e.g., "78% of people fail because...")
- Keep the tone appropriate for top-of-funnel readers who are just becoming aware of their problem
- Use second-person perspective ("you" language) to speak directly to the reader
- Incorporate emotional language that creates urgency without being hyperbolic
- Maximum 80 words per complete hook
Please provide 3 distinct hooks using different psychological approaches, and explain the strategy behind each one so I understand why it would be effective.
š” Why It Works:
These types of posts are shareable and savable.
Youāre not flexing expertise.
Youāre pointing out problems your ideal audience is already facing.
This builds intrigue without needing to be viral.
š§Ŗ Example (Niche: Health Coaches):
āMost people think they need to āburn more caloriesā to lose fat. But hereās why that mindset is keeping them stuckā¦ā
āIf your energy crashes after lunch, youāre probably making one of these 3 breakfast mistakes.ā
āStill doing fasted cardio? Hereās what you need to know (and what no one talks about).ā
2. Teach Just Enough to Make Them Want More
Okay, so youāve caught their attention.
Now what?
Now itās time to earn their trust.
But donāt just teach for free, teach strategically.
The goal here is to shift beliefs, show micro-wins, and naturally lead people toward your paid offer.
š¤ ChatGPT Prompt:
Create 3 high-impact mid-funnel content ideas specifically designed to nurture prospects who are aware of their problem but still evaluating solutions.
Each idea should serve as a strategic bridge between top-funnel awareness content and bottom-funnel conversion materials.
Content Requirements
For each content idea, provide:
- A compelling headline that promises specific value
- The core concept to be taught (focused on ONE specific technique or framework)
- The existing belief/assumption this content challenges
- The new perspective you want readers to adopt
- The specific micro-win readers will achieve (something they can implement in 15-30 minutes)
- How this connects to your broader solution/methodology
- An effective call-to-action that creates curiosity for your full solution
Strategic Goals
Each content piece should:
- Demonstrate your expertise without overwhelming the reader
- Solve a specific pain point completely enough to build trust
- Create an "aha moment" that shifts their thinking about the problem
- Show the reader what's possible while implying there's much more to learn
- Position your unique approach as distinctly valuable compared to alternatives
- Leave strategic gaps that your paid offering naturally fills
- Use storytelling elements to make the concept memorable and relatable
Format & Delivery Considerations
Include suggestions for the optimal format (guide, video tutorial, case study, interactive tool, etc.) and distribution channel for each content idea based on where your target audience spends time and how they prefer to consume information.
Success Measures
Define how you'll measure the effectiveness of each content piece (engagement metrics, email sign-ups, comments indicating mindset shifts, etc.) to evaluate which approaches are most effective for your specific audience.
š” Why It Works:
People donāt buy information, they buy transformation.
By offering a taste of value and framing your offer as the full solution, you build trust and desire.
š§Ŗ Example (Niche: Business Coaches):
āI helped a client go from zero to 5 sales/week with one DM script tweak. Hereās what changed:ā
āPosting every day wonāt grow your biz. Building a buyer journey will. Hereās the difference:ā
āBefore you create a course, do this 15-minute validation exercise ā it saved me 3 months of wasted time.ā
3. Share Your Wins Without Being āThatā Guy
Authority is crucial ā but no one likes a humblebragger.
Instead, use this prompt to build credibility through storytelling.
Youāll share behind-the-scenes lessons, frameworks, or real experiences without sounding like youāre just showing off.
