Turn Audience Questions into a Week of Content ✍️
Hi, Ben here.
In our last recipe, we used AI to create a "treasure map" of our audience's biggest problems and most common questions. This is incredibly valuable, but a list of ideas isn't the same as having finished content.
So, what's the next step? We turn that research directly into a content plan.
This recipe will show you how to take the list of questions your audience is asking and get the AI to transform it into a full week of engaging, helpful social media posts. You'll go from research to ready-to-schedule content in minutes.
What You'll Need
- Tool: ChatGPT (or any free chatbot)
- Time: 5 minutes
- Difficulty: Easy
Step 1: Grab Your Research
First, find the list of frequently asked questions that you generated in the last recipe.
Let's use the fantastic list we discovered for our Hartlepool Community Gardening Club example:
Our Audience's Questions:"What are the easiest vegetables to grow for a complete beginner?""How do I improve my soil without spending a lot of money?""What can I grow in pots on a small patio?""When is the best time to start planting seeds for summer?""How do I get rid of slugs organically?"
Step 2: Copy the "Magic" Prompt
This prompt tells the AI to act as a helpful content creator. It instructs the AI to take each question from your research and turn it into a simple, helpful social media post.
Copy this entire block of text:
Act as a friendly and helpful social media manager. My goal is to answer my audience's most common questions.
Please take the following list of frequently asked questions and turn each one into a short, engaging social media post. Each post should provide a quick, helpful tip that directly answers the question. Keep the tone simple and encouraging for beginners.
Here are the questions:

Step 3: Use the Prompt in ChatGPT
- Go to the ChatGPT website.
- Paste the "Magic" Prompt into the chat box.
- Replace the
[Paste the list of questions here]part with the list of questions from Step 1. - Hit Enter.
Step 4: Get Your Week of Helpful Content
The AI will generate a post for each question, creating a full content calendar that directly addresses the needs of your audience. It will look something like this:
AI's Generated Content:
Post 1 (Answering Question 1): Thinking of growing your own veg? 🌱 The easiest place to start is with salad leaves, radishes, and bush beans. They grow quickly and don't need much space. You've got this! #BeginnerGardener #EasyGardening
Post 2 (Answering Question 2): Want to improve your soil for free? Start a compost bin! All your kitchen scraps (like veg peelings and coffee grounds) can be turned into amazing, nutrient-rich soil for your garden. ♻️ #Composting #GardenHacks #Hartlepool
Post 3 (Answering Question 3): No garden? No problem! 🪴 You can grow so much in pots. Herbs (like mint and basil), cherry tomatoes, and chili plants are all perfect for a small patio or balcony. #ContainerGardening #PatioGarden
Post 4 (Answering Question 4): Wondering when to plant seeds for summer? For most veggies in the UK, March and April are the perfect months to start them indoors so they're ready for the warmer weather. ☀️ #Ukgardening #SowingSeeds
Post 5 (Answering Question 5): Slugs! The gardener's nemesis. For an organic solution, try placing rough materials like crushed eggshells or sand around the base of your plants. Slugs hate crawling over them! #OrganicGardening #SlugControl
You've now turned your research into a week of high-value, targeted content that you know your audience is looking for.
