Hi, Ben here.

So you've created a brilliant logo for your new project. Now what? The next step is to tell the world about it! But writing that first announcement post can feel a bit daunting. How do you sound excited without being cheesy? How do you explain your idea clearly and quickly?

This simple recipe will help you generate a short, engaging announcement post for your social media channels (like Instagram, Facebook, or X). It takes the pressure off, so you can focus on launching your big idea.

What You'll Need

  • Tool: Google Gemini (or any free chatbot)
  • Time: 3 minutes
  • Difficulty: Easy

Step 1: Define Your Project in One Sentence

Before you write the post, get clear on your idea. Just describe your project in a single, simple sentence. Don't worry about marketing language.

For our example, let's go with a community gardening club:

  • Our project is a friendly local club for people who love gardening.

Step 2: Copy the "Magic" Prompt

This prompt is designed to create a social media post that is both enthusiastic and clear. It specifically asks for a call to action and relevant hashtags.

Copy this entire block of text:

Act as a social media expert. I need to write a short, exciting announcement post for a new project.

Please write a draft for me. The tone should be friendly and enthusiastic. Include a question to engage readers and suggest 3-5 relevant hashtags.

My project is: [Describe your project in one sentence]

Step 3: Use the Prompt in Gemini

  1. Go to the Google Gemini website.
  2. Paste the "Magic" Prompt into the chat box.
  3. Replace the [Describe your project in one sentence] part with your own description from Step 1.
  4. Hit Enter.

Step 4: Get Your Social Media Post

The AI will generate a great starting point for your announcement. Based on our gardening club example, it will look something like this:

AI's Suggestion:

BIG NEWS! 🌿 I'm so excited to announce the launch of the Hartlepool Community Garden Club! It's a brand new, friendly group for anyone and everyone who loves to get their hands dirty and make our town a little bit greener.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or have never planted a seed in your life, you are so welcome.

What are you most excited to grow this year? Let me know in the comments!

Now all you have to do is copy this, paste it into your social media platform of choice, add the logo you just created, and you're ready to launch!

Alternative Tools for This Recipe

This prompt works well across most AI chatbots. Here are a couple of other great options:

  • ChatGPT: Excellent at generating multiple creative options and different tones if you want to try a few variations.
  • Claude: Often produces text that feels very natural and human-like, perfect for writing in a personal, authentic voice.
