🧠 How I Use AI to Find Content Ideas That Always Work

👋 Hey, level with me here..

You know that feeling when you’ve poured your heart into a piece of content only to hear…crickets? Yeah, same. The internet is LOUD, and breaking through the noise feels impossible—especially when you’re just guessing what people want. And it leaves you feeling like this:

But what if you didn’t have to guess anymore? What if AI could dig through forums, social media, and discussions to hand you the exact questions your audience is asking?

No more guesswork. No more wasted effort. Let’s turn data into an unfair advantage for you.

🛠️ Step 1: Stop Guessing—Start Listening with ChatGPT’s Deep Research Model

Head over to ChatGPT.com and activate the Deep Research model. Then, use this super prompt:

📝 Prompt:
Your task is to research what questions your target audience of <target_audience>{$TARGET_AUDIENCE}</target_audience> is asking online. This will help provide insights into their interests, pain points, and information needs.

Here are the steps to follow:

1. First, identify relevant online sources where your target audience is active and asking questions. Some examples could include:
- Online forums or communities related to your industry/topic
- Question & answer sites like Quora or Reddit
- Social media platforms where people post questions (Twitter, Facebook groups, etc.)
- Review sites where people leave comments/questions about products or services

2. Once you have identified promising sources, analyze the content to extract common questions or topics that your target audience seems to be asking about. Pay attention to:
- Frequently asked questions or popular discussion threads
- Questions that get a lot of engagement (comments, upvotes, etc.)
- Recurring themes or pain points that people express

3. As you go through the sources, keep a running list of the questions and topics. Group related questions together into broader themes or categories.

4. Finally, organize your findings into a presentable format. This could be:
<suggestions>
- A bulleted list of the top questions/topics, ranked by frequency or popularity
- A mind map or hierarchy showing the main themes and related sub-questions
- A slide deck summarizing your research methodology and key takeaways
</suggestions>

<important>
For each question or topic, provide some context around why it seems to be important to your target audience based on your research. This will give helpful framing for understanding their interests and needs.
</important>

The key is to synthesize your research in a clear, insightful way that highlights what questions your <target_audience>}</target_audience> cares about most. This can then inform content strategies, product development, marketing messaging, and more.

📊 Step 2: Let AI Turn Insights into Ready-to-Post Content

Now that you know what people care about, let’s turn that into actual content. Head over to Perplexity Pages, type in a topic, and watch AI generate a well-researched article you can use as:

🔹 A lead magnet
🔹 A blog post
🔹 A Twitter thread (X thread, whatever we’re calling it now)
🔹 Even an email like this one 😉

Example: You enter “How to optimize LinkedIn for personal branding,” and Perplexity spits out a structured, engaging piece you can tweak and publish instantly.

🚀 Step 3: Unlock AI’s Full Potential with Prompt Genie
