Professional post from a real lesson

A short LinkedIn-style post built on one true story and one takeaway, with no buzzwords or engagement bait.

Write a post for a professional network, such as LinkedIn, about a lesson I learned at work.

What happened: [the situation, e.g. I shipped a feature nobody used]
What I learned: [the lesson, e.g. talk to five users before building anything]
Who I want to reach: [audience, e.g. early-career product managers]

How to write it:
- First line: a specific moment from the story, in under 15 words, because only the first line or two shows before "see more". Not a question and not the lesson.
- Then the story in a few short lines: what happened, what I expected, and what actually happened.
- Then the lesson, stated plainly once, and one practical thing the reader can do with it.
- 150-220 words. One or two sentences per paragraph, with blank lines between them.
- Sound like a person talking: honest, specific, a little self-aware. No humblebragging, no "I'm humbled to share", no "Agree?" at the end, no emoji bullet points.
- End with an open question that invites people to share their own experience, or with no question at all.
- At most 3 relevant hashtags, at the very end.

Give me two versions, one reflective and one practical and punchy, then 3 alternative first lines.

Use only the facts I've given you. If any detail in square brackets is still unfilled, ask me for those details in one short message before writing.

Write a post for a professional network, such as LinkedIn, announcing some news.

The news: [what happened, e.g. I'm joining a climate-tech startup as head of design]
Why it matters to me: [the real reason, e.g. I wanted my work to have measurable impact]
People to thank: [who and for what, e.g. my old team, for five great years]

How to write it:
- First line: the news itself, plainly, in under 15 words.
- Then 2-3 short lines on why I made this move, in my own voice rather than corporate language.
- Thank people specifically, for what they did, not just by name.
- Close with what I'll be working on and one concrete invitation (for example, "If you work on X, I'd love to hear from you"), not "let's connect".
- 100-170 words in short paragraphs, with at most 3 hashtags at the end. No "thrilled to announce" and no "humbled".

Give me two versions, one warm and one brief.

Use only the facts I've given you. If any detail in square brackets is still unfilled, ask me for those details in one short message before writing.

Write a post for a professional network, such as LinkedIn, sharing one practical tip.

The tip: [what you do, e.g. I end every meeting by reading the action items aloud]
Why it works: [your reason or result, e.g. it cut follow-up confusion on my team]
Who it's for: [audience, e.g. team leads]

How to write it:
- First line: the problem the tip solves, in a concrete, recognizable way.
- Then the tip as 3 short, specific steps someone could try tomorrow.
- Then the result I've seen, honestly and without exaggeration.
- 120-180 words in short lines with blank lines between them, no emoji bullets, and at most 3 hashtags at the end.
- End with a question asking readers for their own version of the tip.

Use only the facts I've given you. If any detail in square brackets is still unfilled, ask me for those details in one short message before writing.

Why it works

Feeds show only the first line or two before "see more", so the prompt spends its effort there, opening on a concrete moment instead of a generic lesson. One story and one takeaway keep the post credible, and naming the usual tics (humblebrags, "Agree?", emoji bullets) removes what makes posts read like engagement bait. Two versions and spare first lines let you pick your own voice.

Scroll-stopping hooks for short videos

Ten opening lines for a short video, each using a different hook technique, with on-screen text and visuals.

Write hooks for the first 3 seconds of a short vertical video. That's when most viewers decide whether to keep watching.

Topic: [what the video is about, e.g. meal prep for busy students]
Audience: [who it's for, e.g. university students on a budget]
The payoff: [what viewers get by the end, e.g. 5 lunches for under $20]

Write 10 hooks, each using a different technique: result first, common mistake, contrarian take, specific number, direct call-out ("If you..."), starting mid-story, before and after, curiosity gap, myth vs. fact, and bold promise.

Present them as a table with the columns Technique | Spoken line | On-screen text | Opening shot, where:
- the spoken line is under 12 words and natural to say out loud,
- the on-screen text is under 6 words,
- the opening shot is what the viewer sees in the very first second.

Every hook must be something the video actually delivers. No bait that the payoff can't back up.

Then pick the 2 you'd test first for this audience, with one sentence each on why.

If any detail in square brackets is still unfilled, ask me for those details in one short message before writing.

Write a script for a 30-45 second vertical video.

Topic: [what the video is about, e.g. how to speed up a slow laptop]
Audience: [who it's for, e.g. people who aren't technical]
The main point: [the one takeaway, e.g. most slowness comes from apps that start automatically]

Structure:
- Hook (0-3s): one spoken line plus on-screen text that makes the payoff clear.
- Setup (3-8s): the problem, in the viewer's own words.
- Value (8-35s): 3 quick, concrete steps or points, each one shown, not just said.
- Payoff and close (last 5-10s): the result, then one simple call to action that fits the video.

Format it as a table with the columns Time | Spoken words | On-screen text | What's on screen.
Write the spoken words to be said aloud: short sentences, everyday words, and about 2.5 words per second, so it fits the time.

If any detail in square brackets is still unfilled, ask me for those details in one short message before writing.

Write captions for a short video or photo post.

What the post shows: [description, e.g. a time-lapse of me repainting an old chair]
Audience: [who it's for, e.g. DIY beginners]
Goal: [what you want people to do, e.g. save the post for later]

Write 5 captions, each from a different angle: useful, personal, funny, curious and bold. For each one:
- A first line that works on its own, since it's often all people see.
- Under 150 characters in total, unless the angle really needs a second line.
- A call to action that matches my goal, phrased naturally.
- Up to 3 specific hashtags, with no generic ones like #love or #instagood.

Then tell me which caption best fits my goal, and why, in one sentence.

If any detail in square brackets is still unfilled, ask me for those details in one short message before writing.

Why it works

Viewers judge a short video in its first seconds, and different hook techniques work for different audiences. Forcing ten distinct techniques gives you real options to test instead of ten rewordings of one line. Each hook comes with on-screen text and an opening shot because many people watch with the sound off, and "only hooks the video delivers" keeps you away from bait that kills watch time.
