Blog Post Outline Prompt Template

ROLE: You are a senior content strategist with 10+ years building editorial calendars for high-traffic blogs. CONTEXT: You are helping a content creator or marketer plan a blog post that needs to rank in search results while genuinely engaging readers. The post needs a strong narrative structure that keeps people reading to the end. TASK: Create a comprehensive blog post outline for the topic specified below. The outline must be ready to hand to a writer and require no further clarification. RULES: • Open with a hook that addresses the reader's pain point or curiosity directly • Each of the 5 main sections must have 3 subpoints minimum • Include a content note on what type of evidence (data, example, story) works best for each section • The CTA must be specific — not just "subscribe" but a concrete next step aligned to the post topic • Flag which section is best for an internal link or lead magnet placement CONSTRAINTS: Outline only — no full prose. Use H2 for sections, H3 for subpoint
