Content Prompt: I wish more people knew that [insert lesson or truth about your industry]. After working with [clients/customers], I’ve learned that this one thing changes everything. Let me walk you through it—because this might be the shift you’ve been needing.
Copywriting Formula: Story + Teaching Moment
This formula blends personal storytelling with powerful takeaways. It lets you share something meaningful you’ve learned from your work, offer a new perspective, and gently guide your audience toward the next step.
It’s less about pushing a product, and more about pulling back the curtain on your expertise—in a way that feels human, helpful, and rooted in real experience.
Why It Works:
People love a good story—especially when it teaches them something new. This formula helps you connect the dots between what you’ve learned and what your audience needs to hear. It builds trust, adds value, and positions you as someone who knows their stuff and genuinely cares.
Sharing a lesson with a “this changed everything for me (and it can for you too)” energy makes your content both educational and deeply relatable.

Start with a real story or example, add a helpful insight, and wrap it up with a CTA that encourages your audience to take the next step.

Example Post Using This Prompt:
I wish more people knew this before creating content: You don’t need to reinvent the wheel every time you show up online.
So many business owners believe they have to be wildly original or start from scratch every time they write a post. But after years of writing for my business (and hundreds of clients), I’ve learned that consistency and clarity matter way more than constant reinvention.
That’s why I created Wordsmith. To give you a foundation—a starting point—a weekly content prompt that helps you know exactly what to say, and why it works.
Every prompt comes with guidance, strategy, and the tools to make it work for your business. You can write it yourself, or let Wordsmith build it out for you—from social posts to newsletters to full-blown blog content.
When content stops feeling so hard, you show up more. And when you show up more? Your business grows.
