Prompt - turn old content into new posts

 

Use ChatGPT to turn old content into new posts

Smart marketers don't start from scratch. They use AI to mine what they've already built.

You've got years of decks, docs, blogs, and briefs sitting in folders. 

Most marketers treat this like dead weight.

But your past content is a goldmine of insights, themes, and angles you can turn into fresh posts without starting from zero.

Try this prompt:

You are a content strategist. I want to extract valuable content ideas from my existing materials.

Analyze the content I'm sharing below and:

1. IDENTIFY KEY THEMES
- Pull out 3-5 core topics or insights
- Note which ideas feel most relevant today
- Flag any underused concepts worth expanding

2. SUGGEST NEW FORMATS
- Turn insights into different content types (posts, carousels, newsletters, guides)
- Recommend formats that would work best for each theme
- Consider what would resonate on different platforms

3. GENERATE 10 FRESH IDEAS
- Create specific post concepts inspired by this material
- Make each idea actionable and audience-focused
- Ensure ideas feel new, not recycled

4. DRAFT ONE COMPLETE POST
- Pick the strongest idea from your list
- Write a full draft in my brand voice
- Include any data points or examples from the source material

Here's my existing content:

Context about my audience: [BRIEF DESCRIPTION]

Your content library isn't clutter. It's your competitive advantage.

Happy prompting!
