Turn your 3 to 5 best posts into reusable templates

Who it's for

Founders who have a few posts that worked and want more like them

What they report

Justin Welsh says reusing specific styles, structures and ideas across social media helped him grow from 2,000 to nearly 600,000+ followers on platforms like LinkedIn. ChatGPT is the tool he recommends for turning winning posts into templates.

Example

Welsh's advice: when you are tired, not feeling creative or in a rut, go back to a structure that already worked. Not every day, but do not throw it away after one use.

How to do it

  1. Find your 3 to 5 best-performing posts.
  2. Paste each one into ChatGPT with Welsh's prompt.
  3. Store each template with a name and the original post as a reference.
  4. Reuse a template when you are stuck. Fill it with a new story, example or angle.

The prompt

Copy prompt

I want to turn a Tweet/LinkedIn Post that worked very well into a template that I can reuse to write about nearly any topic. Here's the content: [paste post] (Legacy Builder add-on:) After the template, fill it once for this topic: [topic], using only these facts: [facts]. Keep my sentence length and line breaks close to the original.
