how I get VIRAL content ideas in seconds using AI
not a bs ChatGPT prompt
It’s not by just asking ChatGPT - “Give me 10 linkedin post ideas”, it’s a whole system.
I haven’t shared this with anyone, so I’m excited to give you guys this one.
Now for content ideas, there’s no need to reinvent the wheel but let me show you how I take an existing wheel, restructure it and make it better.
It all revolves around one thing…
The Creator Analysis Spreadsheet
Tools: Apify (or PhantomBuster), Google sheets
Choose a social media platform (LinkedIn, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram or Facebook)
Make a list of creators (e.g competitors, inspiration, biggest ones)
Search the Apify Actor Store or PhantomBuster for “{platform} post/activity scraping”
Add the first link from your creator list (or in bulk if possible)
Run the scraper
Export results to google sheets
Add a column for “Average views or engagements”
Add this formula for each creator “=AVERAGE(FirstRowOfPosts, LastRowOfPosts)”
Add a column called “Outlier score”
Add the formula “Post Views or Engagements/Average Post Views or Engagements”
The final, most important step - filter only for outliers above 3x, this'll show you posts that performed 3x the average.
Now look at those outliers and then you have 2 options:
Turn it into a post template (only taking the structure)
or
Take the core value of the post but make it your own
For Number #1:
exchange the core sections of the post with “placeholders” like {bold claim} or {controversial opinion}
bonus step - turn all these post templates into an organised database
For Number #2:
change the wording
adjust it to your specific ICP
add more info on top of it (e.g for a tech stack post, you can copy it but just change the each tool with alternatives)
That’s it for this week!
P.S - if you enjoyed this week’s email, I’d appreciate a quick reply with your thoughts :)
