Social media shouldn’t feel like a second job. AI helps you stay active and consistent without the daily stress of “what should I post today?” It’s about taking the hours spent on captions and hashtags and giving that time back to your actual business.
⚡ Quick Win: The “Week of Posts” Prompt
Use this to turn a single topic into a full week of engagement:
Try this:
“I want to share updates about my latest project, [e.g., a new character for Noneyet Studios / a vintage radio restoration]. Create a 3-post schedule for the week. For each post, give me a catchy caption and 3 relevant hashtags. Keep the tone casual and helpful.”
📸 Pro-Tip: Working on something visual? Snap a photo of your process—like a workbench covered in tools or a RYOBI miter saw mid-cut—and ask:
“Write a ‘Behind the Scenes’ Instagram caption for this photo. Focus on the effort and craftsmanship that goes into making a high-quality product.”
🗓️ Content Calendar Magic
AI is the ultimate partner for getting past the “blank calendar” moment. Use it to map out an entire month of themes so you aren’t scrambling at the last minute.
Try this:
“Help me plan a monthly content calendar for my [e.g., hobbyist blog / creative studio]. I want to post twice a week. Suggest themes for each week, such as ‘Project Updates,’ ‘Tool Reviews,’ and ‘Customer Spotlights’.”
✍️ Writing Captions That Connect
Different platforms reward different tones, and AI can help you adapt without losing your voice. Whether you need something punchy for X (Twitter) or something storytelling-focused for Facebook, AI can provide the Draft 1.
Try this:
“Rewrite this product description as a friendly, humorous social media post. We want to sound like a knowledgeable neighbor, not a corporate salesperson. Avoid hype-filled language.”
🎥 Video & Reel Concepts
If you know you need to post video but aren’t sure where to start, ask AI to act as your “Creative Director” for Reels or TikToks.
Try this:
“Give me 3 simple ideas for a 15-second Reel about [e.g., restoring vintage electronics]. For each idea, include a suggested ‘hook’ sentence and a type of background music that would fit a ‘satisfying,’ ’nostalgic,’ or ‘maker-energy’ vibe.”
