00 Start
One winning post can give you ten more
Stop starting from a blank page. The post that already worked has the raw material for the next ten — you just have to take it apart correctly.
Most people, when a post does well, either try to copy it directly (it flops, it never works twice the same way) or move on and start the next one from zero. Both waste the one thing you actually have: proof of what your audience responds to.
Next up: 4 prompts. First you pull apart what actually made the post work — not a summary, the mechanics. Then those mechanics become 10 new angles. Then every angle gets three headline options. Then the whole chain becomes one instruction you paste in once and never type again.
What you'll walk away with
- The five mechanics that made your winning post work — topic, pain, novelty, hook, proof
- 10 new angles built from those mechanics, not copies of the original
- Three headlines per angle — thirty options from one post
- A reusable instruction block that runs the whole chain on command
00 Start
A winning post isn't luck. It's five things stacked correctly
Every post that outperforms has a topic, a pain point, a piece of novelty, a hook mechanism, and proof — the difference is whether you can name which ones did the work.
Prompt one does the extraction. Everything after it just recombines what that prompt finds.
01 Extract
Paste your best-performing post
Whatever did best on whatever platform you're on — the one you already have proof about, not a hypothetical.
01 Extract
Prompt 1 — pull out the five mechanics
Not a summary. The parts underneath the words.
Here's my best-performing post: [PASTE POST]
Don't summarize it. Pull apart what actually made it work, as five separate things:
— Topic: the specific subject, stated plainly
— Pain: the exact frustration or desire it's speaking to
— Novelty: what it says that most posts on this topic don't
— Hook: the mechanism of the first line — question, contradiction, number, confession
— Proof: what makes it believable — a result, a detail, a specific number
One sentence for each. No fluff, no restating the post back to me.02 Angles
Prompt 2 — ten new angles from the same mechanics
Not ten rewrites. Ten different doors into the same underlying idea.
Using those five mechanics, give me 10 new post angles on the same underlying idea. Not rewrites — new angles: 1. Deeper — go one layer past what the original post said 2. Next step — what to do after the original post's advice 3. Mistake — the way people get this specific thing wrong 4. Use case — the same idea applied to one specific situation 5. Adjacent problem — a related problem the same mechanic solves 6. Tool — the exact tool or method that makes this possible 7. Question — the question the original post answers, asked directly 8. Contrarian — the opposite take, argued seriously 9. Specific audience — the same idea, rewritten for one narrow reader 10. New system — turn the one-off insight into a repeatable process One line per angle. Keep it in my voice — don't flatten it into generic content-calendar language.
03 Headlines
Prompt 3 — three headlines per angle
Run this once for each angle you actually want to write. Thirty headlines from one post, if you run all ten.
Take angle [NUMBER] from the list above and write three headline options for it:
— One that leads with the number or result
— One that leads with the mistake or tension
— One that leads with a direct question
Under 12 words each. No emojis, no hype adjectives ("amazing," "game-changing," "insane").04 Skill
Prompt 4 — your skill: turn the whole chain into one instruction
Paste this once into a Claude Project, or a custom GPT's instructions, and it becomes a standing skill — every time after this, you just paste a post and say one word.
When I paste a post and say "multiply this," do three things automatically, in order: 1. Extract five mechanics from the post: topic, pain, novelty, hook, proof — one sentence each. 2. Generate 10 new angles from those mechanics: deeper, next step, mistake, use case, adjacent problem, tool, question, contrarian, specific audience, new system. 3. For every angle, write three headline options — one number/result-led, one tension-led, one question-led. Under 12 words each, no hype adjectives. Output as a numbered list: each angle as a heading, its three headlines indented under it. No preamble, no summary at the end, no restating the original post.
One post in, thirty headlines out — and you never write the three prompts above by hand again.
04 Final
Done. One post, and a system that keeps multiplying it
What you did
Pulled the five mechanics out of a post that already worked, turned them into ten new angles, wrote three headlines for one of them, and saved an instruction block that runs the whole chain on command.
