Target Outcome & Deliverable

Instead of inventing disconnected social posts from scratch every morning, this workflow takes one substantive guide or case study you already wrote and adapts it into a week of platform-specific assets: a technical breakdown thread, a structured LinkedIn summary, and matching visual cards—without clickbait or repetitive AI clichés.

Step-by-Step Execution Instructions

Extract 3 Distinct Angles from One Source Article

Tool: Claude

Paste your published article into Claude and ask it to identify three distinct standalone angles so your social posts do not repeat the same summary.

Stage 1 Prompt Template:

Read the attached guide. Extract 3 standalone social post angles: (1) a 5-step actionable checklist, (2) one counter-intuitive mistake and its fix, and (3) a quick comparison matrix.

Stage Deliverable: Three distinct content angles anchored in your original article.

Draft Platform-Native Copy Without Hype Words

Tool: Claude

Provide a sample of your real social posts and instruct Claude to forbid rhetorical engagement bait, emoji spam, and promotional clichés.

Stage 2 Prompt Template:

Turn Angle 1 into a 5-part technical thread (max 240 characters per post) and a 180-word LinkedIn post. Constraints: zero emojis, no hashtags, no rhetorical questions, start directly with the first technical step.

Stage Deliverable: Clean, practical social copy that sounds like a practitioner.

Generate Matching Visual Card Backgrounds

Tool: Midjourney

Use your brand `--sref` style reference to generate a 4:5 or 16:9 minimal illustration that pairs with your post.

Stage 3 Prompt Template:

Minimalist flat vector illustration, 4:5 vertical, three connected workflow cards in #4F6EF7 and #8068F5 on soft #F8FAFC background, generous whitespace, no text --ar 4:5

Stage Deliverable: A clean social illustration ready for your post or carousel.

Compile a Weekly Publishing Checklist in ChatGPT

Tool: ChatGPT

Paste your approved drafts into ChatGPT and export a CSV or Markdown table with columns for Day, Platform, Post Copy, Visual Asset, and Source URL.

Stage 4 Prompt Template:

Organize these 3 approved social posts into a Mon/Wed/Fri schedule table with character counts verified.

Stage Deliverable: A structured publishing table ready to queue.

Quality Assurance & Optimization Tips

Sample Input: One 1,500-word guide on "How to Use AI for Research" + brand voice rules.
Sample Deliverable: Three platform-ready posts (a 5-step thread, a citation-verification checklist post, and a 4-slide breakdown) + a structured Mon/Wed/Fri publishing table.
AI cannot engage authentically in comment discussions or answer nuanced community questions on your behalf.
Automated posting tools should never publish unreviewed AI drafts directly to live brand accounts.

Common Workflow Pitfalls to Avoid

Pitfall: Workflow Bottleneck #1

Solution: Letting AI insert generic hooks ("Stop scrolling! Everything changed today...") that erode reader trust.

Pitfall: Workflow Bottleneck #2

Solution: Publishing the exact same copy across every platform without adjusting length or structure.
