AI Prompts for Claude for Blog Writing

I want to write a blog post about [TOPIC] for an audience of [DESCRIBE AUDIENCE]. Give me five different angles I could take on this topic, each one distinct from the obvious take. For each angle, write a one-sentence hook that captures what makes it worth reading, and flag which angles are most differentiated from what is already published online.

I want to write about [BROAD TOPIC] but I do not have a specific point of view yet. Ask me three to five questions that would help me identify what I actually believe about this topic, then use my answers to suggest three specific thesis statements I could build the post around. Each thesis should be an argument, not just a description.

My blog post thesis is: [THESIS STATEMENT]. Build a logical three to five section structure that develops this argument from start to finish. For each section, write: the heading, what claim or evidence this section establishes, and how it connects to the next section. The structure should feel inevitable, not arbitrary.

I am writing a post about [TOPIC]. Help me articulate why this topic is worth reading about right now, specifically. What has changed, what tension exists, what mistake is commonly being made, or what question is not being answered well elsewhere? I want to open with a reason this is timely and relevant, not just a general statement that the topic exists.

Here are my raw notes and thoughts on [TOPIC]: [PASTE NOTES]. Organize these into a clear post outline with a defined thesis, logical section order, and two to three sub-points per section. Flag any gaps in my thinking and suggest what additional material would make the argument more complete.

Write five different opening hooks for a blog post about [TOPIC / THESIS]. Each hook should use a different technique: a counterintuitive claim, a specific data point, an opening question, a short scene or story, and a bold direct statement. I will choose the one that fits my voice best and adapt it.

Write the section titled [SECTION HEADING] for my blog post. Here are my notes on what this section should cover: [PASTE NOTES]. Write it in a direct, specific style that avoids generalities. No filler sentences. Use concrete examples or evidence where possible. Aim for [WORD COUNT] words.

Here is a sample of my existing writing: [PASTE 200-400 WORDS OF YOUR WRITING]. Now write the section [DESCRIBE SECTION] for my current post in the same voice. Match my sentence rhythm, level of formality, and how I handle examples. If I use any distinctive phrases or structural patterns, mirror them.

I am making this argument in my post: [PASTE THE CLAIM OR PARAGRAPH]. It feels abstract. Suggest three concrete examples, analogies, or mini-stories I could use to make this point tangible. For each suggestion, write a one to two sentence version I could drop into the post, and flag which works best for an audience of [DESCRIBE READER].

Here is the body of my blog post: [PASTE POST BODY]. Write a conclusion that does three things: reinforces the main thesis without just restating it, gives the reader a clear takeaway or action, and ends with a sentence worth remembering. Avoid hollow phrases like "in conclusion" or "as we have seen." The ending should feel earned, not appended.

Edit this blog post to reduce it by approximately 20 percent. Remove filler phrases, redundant sentences, and any section that does not advance the argument. Do not change the structure or thesis. Preserve my voice. For each major cut, add a one-line note explaining what you removed and why: [PASTE POST].

Read this blog post and flag every sentence that is weak: too vague, too hedge-filled, too generic, or too long to follow. Do not rewrite them yet, just list each flagged sentence with a brief note on what is wrong with it. I want to see all the problems before I start fixing them: [PASTE POST].

Read my blog post and focus only on the transitions between sections. Identify any places where the jump between sections feels abrupt or where the logical connection is unclear. Rewrite each transition sentence or paragraph so the post reads as one continuous argument rather than a list of separate sections: [PASTE POST].

Read this blog post and identify any phrases that sound like they were written by AI: overly formal constructions, hedge phrases, hollow affirmations, or sentences that feel stiff or impersonal. List each one and suggest a more direct, human replacement. Then give me the full post with all replacements applied: [PASTE POST].

Read my blog post and flag every claim that is vague or unsupported. For each one, suggest either: a specific statistic, example, or source I could add, or a rewrite that makes the claim more precise without needing external evidence. I want every sentence that makes a claim to earn the reader's trust: [PASTE POST].

My blog post is about [TOPIC] and targets the keyword [PRIMARY KEYWORD]. Write three SEO title options (under 60 characters each) and two meta description options (under 155 characters each). Each title should include the keyword naturally, create a clear reason to click, and avoid clickbait phrasing. Each meta description should expand on the title and end with a clear value statement.

Turn this blog post into a LinkedIn post that can stand alone without the reader needing to visit the original. Keep the core argument but adapt the format for LinkedIn: open with a strong first line that stops the scroll, use short paragraphs, and end with a clear point or question. Include a call to action to read the full post: [PASTE BLOG POST OR KEY SECTIONS].

Read this blog post and pull the five most quotable lines: sentences that are sharp, specific, and make a strong point in under 25 words. These will be used for social media promotion. For each quote, also write a two-sentence tweet-style post built around it: [PASTE POST].

Adapt this blog post into an email newsletter for my subscribers. The email should feel more personal and direct than the blog post, open without preamble, deliver the core insight in a tighter format, and end with one clear action or takeaway. Target 300 to 400 words. Assume the reader knows me and signed up because they find my writing useful: [PASTE POST].

Based on this blog post, identify the strongest angle for a follow-up post that goes deeper on one aspect or addresses the most likely objection a reader would raise. Write a one-paragraph content brief for that follow-up: its thesis, the specific angle, who it is for, and three to four key points it should cover.
