The Scenario

You know you need to post on LinkedIn to grow your business, but you have “Writer’s Block.” You stare at a blank screen and don’t know what to say. We will use ChatGPT to act as a Senior Content Strategist and generate 30 days of high-value topics tailored to your specific niche.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Phase 1: The Context Setup

Open ChatGPT.

Copy and Paste the following “Role-Play” prompt to set the context (do not skip this, or your results will be generic):

Act as a Senior Social Media Strategist for B2B.
My Niche: [Insert Your Niche, e.g., SaaS Sales]
My Target Audience: [Insert Audience, e.g., VP of Sales]
My Goal: [Insert Goal, e.g., Drive leads for my consulting business]

 

a table with 4 Content Pillars:
1. Educational (How-to)
2. Contrarian (Unpopular Opinion)
3. Personal Story (Lesson Learned)
4. Social Proof (Case Study)

Do not generate the posts yet. Just confirm you understand the strategy.

Hit Enter and wait for ChatGPT to confirm.

Phase 2: The Calendar Generation

4. Copy and Paste this prompt to generate the actual schedule:

“`text Great. Now, generate a 30-Day Content Calendar in a Table format. Columns: Day | Content Pillar | Hook (Headline) | The Core Idea.

Make the hooks “Click-Worthy” (e.g., instead of “Sales Tips”, use “Stop doing cold calls in 2026”). Ensure a mix of all 4 pillars. “`

5. Review the table. You now have a topic for every single day of the month.

Phase 3: Writing the Post (The “Just-in-Time” Method)

6. When you are ready to write a specific day’s post (e.g., Day 5),

Reply to ChatGPT with:

text Write the post for Day 5. Tone: Professional but conversational (Short sentences). Structure: Hook -> Value -> Bullet Points -> Call to Action.

Pro Tip

ChatGPT often uses hashtags that are too broad (like #Marketing). After it generates the post, ask it: “Give me 5 niche hashtags that have between 10k and 100k followers for this post.” This puts your content in front of focused communities, not lost in the noise.
