How to Create Prompts for AI to Help Your Instagram Blog Grow Faster

Neural networks have become an integral part of the work and daily lives of many people. They assist in content creation, answer questions, and provide valuable advice. But what if we turn them into our colleagues for more complex projects and the development of effective promotion strategies?

In this article, we test current AI queries, explore prompt examples, and discuss the benefits they can bring to the growth of an Instagram blog.

A bit of theory and general recommendations

A prompt is a text-based query, command, or instruction that the user gives to a neural network to perform a specific task. It's a crucial element that directly influences the quality and accuracy of the final result.

For example, when using ChatGPT, prompts are often in the form of questions or requests for specific actions that the neural network should take on behalf of the user. In the case of generative image models (such as Midjourney, DALL-E, Kandinsky), prompts involve describing the final image that the user wants to see.

Formulating a prompt is a more complex task, often compared to science or art. A quality prompt should be detailed enough for the neural network to "understand" the requirements and provide the most appropriate result. Here are the key principles for working with AI to achieve the desired outcome:

  • Clarity and Specificity: The prompt should be clear and unambiguous. Avoid vagueness and uncertainty. For example, instead of saying, "create a beautiful picture," it's better to specify, "create a painting of a mountain landscape at sunset with clouds and a lake in the foreground."
  • Context: If there are specific requirements regarding style, tone, or details, be sure to include them in the prompt. For example, "Write an article in a scientific style about the impact of plastic waste on the world's oceans."
  • Detailing: The more details you provide, the better the neural network will understand what you want to achieve. However, it's important not to overload the prompt with unnecessary details that might confuse the model.
  • Goal: Consider the ultimate goal of your request. If you need specific information, use a direct question. If you're aiming to generate creative content, you can use more abstract descriptions.
  • Format: If a specific format is required (e.g., writing a list, poem, or technical report), be sure to indicate this in the prompt.
 

Working with initial data: requesting an overall impression of the profile

The idea of developing a blog usually comes up when there’s a foundation to build on. For example, a user might already have a profile with posts, a few Reels videos, Highlight sections, and 1,000 followers. To enable ChatGPT to evaluate the profile, you would attach a screenshot of the profile and ask the AI to formulate an overall opinion on it.

 
Next, the AI can describe the strengths and weaknesses step by step. In our case, these were "Visual Appeal," "Content," "Bio," "Highlights," "Engagement and Audience Interaction," "Uniqueness," and "Clarity of Positioning."
 
You can focus more on some of these aspects and ask ChatGPT to provide more detailed insights into problematic areas and offer advice for improvement.
 

Content Ideas and Visual Concepts

Often, when an author comes up with content ideas, challenges arise in implementing and integrating them into the profile. AI tools offer several possibilities that can help create a successful and visually appealing Instagram profile. Here’s how ChatGPT can be useful in this context:

Generating Ideas for Reels. AI can suggest creative ideas for Reels based on the user’s profile theme, current trends, and audience interests.

Prompt: "Imagine you're an experienced marketer. Your task is to come up with an idea for a Reels video on [topic]. Create five different variations of this video concept [insert original video]. Also, provide a short headline that will grab users' attention and encourage them to read the caption."

Creating Scenarios. AI can help develop detailed concepts for Instagram Stories, video composition, and content presentation style.

Prompt: "Generate 10 ideas for viral Instagram Stories for my audience. The main goal is to boost engagement and increase views. Create several fresh, unique, and unconventional ideas that I can use for [insert topic]."

Formulating a Content Plan. The regularity of posting on a profile is one of the most important aspects of promotion. Moreover, it should be closely tied to the strategy and theme chosen by the author. In this case, the results will not take long to appear. AI can assist in developing a consistent content plan to ensure systematic and effective content publication.

Working on Visuals. Visual coherence and style shape the first impression of an account, capturing the attention of potential followers. Many creators often rely on professional content creators to develop a visual concept for their profiles. Initially, this function can be delegated to artificial intelligence. What can ChatGPT offer for this request?

Prompt: "Help me develop a visual concept for my Instagram profile. I want a cohesive style that aligns with my content theme and appeals to my target audience. Provide suggestions for color schemes, layout, and overall aesthetics."

Ideas for Captions. Instagram is flooded with content, and to attract users, it’s crucial to grab their attention with engaging captions from the start. The longer a user engages with your content, the more interesting it will appear to algorithms, which will then promote it to a broader audience. If writing captions is challenging, you can seek help from ChatGPT.

Prompt: "I'm writing a post on Instagram about [insert topic]. Write a captivating caption for this post."

Adapting Trends. One key to blog growth is creating content that resonates with the audience. Instagram itself features a function that shows popular audio tracks among users. Algorithms hint at what content may resonate or appear in the "Explore" section for a larger audience.

Prompt: "Help me adapt current trends to my Instagram content. Identify popular trends and suggest how I can incorporate them into my posts to engage my audience effectively."

Analyzing Changes. Finally, after implementing the previous steps, you can request intermediate results from the AI. These can be expressed in terms of content evaluation, profile traffic statistics, and audience reach.

Analytics will help determine what is "working" in the blog and what isn’t, which strategy to follow moving forward, which tools to use, and how to enhance audience engagement.

Conclusion

Capturing interest and encouraging users to follow has become increasingly challenging. The "cost" of a follower is rising: content creators are expected to have a creative approach, consistency, and the ability to seamlessly integrate their blog's niche with a lifestyle focus.

AI tools can save time and resources while increasing the chances of success. With a well-thought-out approach and precise task formulation, AI can be a valuable assistant and contribute significantly to the blog’s growth and promotion.
