AI Blog Writing Prompts: 7 Steps to Viral Content (2026)

Q: How do I avoid plagiarism when using these prompts?

These prompts encourage 'originality' by asking for 'uncommon terminology' and varied sentence structures. However, you should always run your final draft through a plagiarism checker and, more importantly, inject your own personal stories and data to make it truly unique.

Q: What is the difference between the "Outline" prompt and just asking for a list?

The specific Blog Post Outline prompt asks for detailed subheadings and a specific volume (20+ headings). A generic request usually results in 3-4 shallow bullet points. The depth of the outline dictates the depth of the final article.

The Ultimate AI Blog Writing Workflow: Are You Using the Right Prompts?

AI Blog Writing Prompts are the fastest way to cure writer’s block. However, most people just stare at the blinking cursor on a blank white page.
In fact, we have all been there. The coffee is getting cold. The deadline is looming. Additionally, your brain feels frozen, like a browser with too many tabs open.

Writing a high-quality blog post isn’t just about typing words. Instead, it is about engineering an experience. Specifically, you need catchy hooks, solid structures, and SEO-optimized paragraphs.
Unfortunately, most people use AI completely wrong to do this. They type generic commands like “Write me a blog about marketing.” Consequently, they wonder why the result reads like a robotic encyclopedia entry.

The secret isn’t the AI; rather, it is the recipe.

Today, I am handing you my personal “Chief Analyst” cookbook. This isn’t just a random list. On the contrary, it is a 7-step sequential workflow.
I designed this system to take you from a vague idea to a polished, publish-ready article in a fraction of the time.
Furthermore, I have tested these specific AI Blog Writing Prompts against thousands of iterations. Therefore, I engineered them to stop hallucinations, enforce structure, and inject human personality into the machine.

Ready to build your content engine? Let’s dive in.

Phase 1: The Hook (Titles & Descriptions)

Everything starts with the click. You can write the Shakespeare of blog posts, but if the title is boring, nobody enters the theater.

Most people let AI generate generic titles like “5 Tips for SEO.” That is digital suicide. The first prompt in this collection forces the AI to act as an “Expert Copywriter.” It doesn’t just give you titles; it creates ‘hooks.’ It uses psychology to find the angle that makes a reader feel they must click. Once generated, I recommend you analyze your headlines to ensure they score high on emotional impact.

Prompt 1: Generate Blog Post Titles

Copy and paste this into ChatGPT/Claude:

Prompt Template: Please ignore all previous instructions. You are an expert copywriter who writes catchy titles for blog posts. Write 10 catchy blog post titles with a hook for the topic “{Topic}”. The titles should be written in the English language. The titles should be less than 60 characters. The titles should include the words from the topic “{Topic}”. Do not use single quotes, double quotes or any other enclosing characters. Do not self-reference. Do not explain what you are doing.

Why this works: It forces brevity (under 60 characters) which prevents the title from getting cut off in Google Search results.

Once you have the title, you need the ‘Movie Trailer’—the Meta Description. This is often an afterthought for writers, but according to Google’s guidelines, a concise and distinct description is essential for your search snippets.

Prompt 2: Generate Blog Post Descriptions

Use this after you pick your title:

Prompt Template: Please ignore all previous instructions. You are an expert copywriter who writes catchy descriptions for blog posts. Write 10 catchy blog post descriptions with a hook for the blog post titled “{Title}”. The descriptions should be written in the English language. The descriptions should be less than 160 characters. The descriptions should include the words from the title “{Title}”. Do not use single quotes, double quotes or any other enclosing characters. Do not self-reference. Do not explain what you are doing.

Phase 2: The Skeleton (The Outline)

This is where 90% of AI writing fails. If you ask an AI to “write an article,” it rambles. It repeats itself. It loses the plot.

To fix this, you must treat the AI like an architect before you treat it like a builder. You need a Blueprint.

Prompt 3: Generate Blog Post Outline

This is the most critical step:

Prompt Template: Please ignore all previous instructions. You are an expert copywriter who creates content outlines. Create a long form content outline in the English language for the blog post titled “{Blog Post Title}”. The content outline should include a minimum of 20 headings and subheadings. The outline should be extensive and it should cover the entire topic. Create detailed subheadings that are engaging and catchy. Do not write the blog post, please only write the outline of the blog post. Please do not number the headings. Please add a newline space between headings and subheadings. Do not self-reference. Do not explain what you are doing.

Tip: Notice the instruction for “20 headings.” This forces depth. Even if you only use 10, the AI is forced to think deeply about the topic structure.

Phase 3: The Meat (Drafting the Content)

Now that you have your skeleton, it’s time to put meat on the bones. We have two powerful approaches here, depending on your style.

Secret Sauce: Tone & Style

Option A: The Precision Strike (From Outline)

Before you run the prompts below, choose your “Voice.” Don’t settle for the default AI robot voice. Pick one Tone and one Writing Style from this menu and paste it into the {Tone/Style} brackets in the prompts.

Tone of Voice (Pick One):

(Default), Authoritative, Caring, Casual, Cheerful, Coarse, Conservative, Conversational, Creative, Dry, Edgy, Enthusiastic, Expository, Formal, Frank, Friendly, Fun, Funny, Humorous, Informative, Irreverent, Journalistic, Matter of Fact, Nostalgic, Objective, Passionate, Poetic, Playful, Professional, Provocative, Quirky, Respectful, Romantic, Sarcastic, Serious, Smart, Snarky, Sophisticated, Subjective, Sympathetic, Trendy, Trustworthy, Unapologetic, Upbeat, Witty.

Writing Style (Pick One):

(Default), Academic, Analytical, Argumentative, Conversational, Creative, Critical, Descriptive, Epigrammatic, Epistolary, Expository, Informative, Instructive, Journalistic, Metaphorical, Narrative, Persuasive, Poetic, Satirical, Storytelling, Technical.

If you have a killer outline from Prompt 3, use this:

Prompt 4: Generate Complete Blog Post from Outline Please ignore all previous instructions. You are an expert copywriter who writes detailed and thoughtful blog articles. I will give you an outline for an article and I want you to expand in the English language on each of the subheadings to create a complete article from it. Please write in a “{Tone}” tone of voice and a “{Style}” writing style. Please intersperse short and long sentences. Utilize uncommon terminology to enhance the originality of the content. Please format the content in a professional format. Do not self-reference. Do not explain what you are doing. The blog article outline is – “{Blog Post Outline}”

Option B: The Speed Run (From Topic)

In a rush? Use this all-in-one prompt:

Prompt 5: Generate Complete Blog Post from Topic Please ignore all previous instructions. You are an expert copywriter who writes detailed and thoughtful blog articles. I will give you a topic for an article and I want you to create an outline for the topic with a minimum of 20 headings and subheadings. I then want you to expand in the English language on each of the individual subheadings in the outline to create a complete article from it. Please write in a “{Tone}” tone of voice and a “{Style}” writing style. Please intersperse short and long sentences. Utilize uncommon terminology to enhance the originality of the content. Please format the content in a professional format. Do not self-reference. Do not explain what you are doing. Send me the outline and then immediately start writing the complete article. The blog article topic is – “{Topic}”

Phase 4: The Polish (Intros & Paragraphs)

A great blog post dies in the introduction. If you don’t hook the reader in the first 2 sentences, they bounce. That is why I rely on proven copywriting frameworks to structure my opening.

My favorite method for this prompt is the FAB Framework (Features, Advantages, Benefits).

Prompt 6: Generate Introduction Using Framework

This is pure psychology:

Prompt Template: Please ignore all previous instructions. You are an expert copywriter who writes detailed and compelling blog articles. I want you to write a compelling blog introduction paragraph of around 200 words on “{Topic}” in the English language. Please write in a “{Tone}” tone of voice. Please use the FAB (Features Advantages Benefits) copywriting framework to hook and grab the attention of the blog readers. Please intersperse short and long sentences. Utilize uncommon terminology to enhance the originality of the content. Please format the content in a professional format. Do not self-reference. Do not explain what you are doing. Here are the keywords – “{Keywords}”. Remember that the topic is “{Topic}”

Finally, sometimes you just need to expand on a specific point. You don’t need a whole article, just a killer section.

You can choose any framework:

AIDA (Attention Interest Desire Action)
PAS (Problem Agitate Solution)
BAB (Before After Bridge)
FAB (Features Advantages Benefits)

Prompt 7: Generate Paragraph of Text

The laser scalpel:

Prompt Template: Please ignore all previous instructions. You are an expert copywriter who writes detailed and thoughtful blog articles. I want you to write around 200 words on “{Topic}” in the English language. Please write in a “{Tone}” tone of voice. I will give you a list of keywords that need to be in the text that you create. Please intersperse short and long sentences. Utilize uncommon terminology to enhance the originality of the content. Please format the content in a professional format. Do not self-reference. Do not explain what you are doing. Here are the keywords – “{Keywords}”. Please highlight these keywords in bold in the text using markdown.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these prompts on the free version of ChatGPT?

Yes! These prompts are designed to work on any LLM, including the free version of ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. The instructions are robust enough to guide even simpler models to produce high-quality output.

Why do the prompts ask the AI “Do not self-reference”?

This is a critical instruction. Without it, AI often starts responses with "Sure, here is a blog post about..." or "As an AI language model..." This looks unprofessional. The "Do not self-reference" command forces the AI to deliver only the content you need, saving you editing time.

How do I avoid plagiarism when using these prompts?

These prompts encourage "originality" by asking for "uncommon terminology" and varied sentence structures. However, you should always run your final draft through a plagiarism checker and, more importantly, inject your own personal stories and data to make it truly unique.

Can I modify the “Tone of Voice” in the prompts?

Absolutely. The prompts have a default placeholder for tone. You can change "Professional" to "Witty," "Sarcastic," or "Empathetic" depending on your brand voice. Experimenting with personas (e.g., "You are a grumpy senior developer") often yields the most interesting results.

What is the difference between the “Outline” prompt and just asking for a list?

The specific Blog Post Outline prompt asks for detailed subheadings and a specific volume (20+ headings). A generic request usually results in 3-4 shallow bullet points. The depth of the outline dictates the depth of the final article.

Verdict

This collection of 7 prompts is the “Foundation Layer” of digital writing.

Efficiency: 10/10 (Eliminates “blank page” paralysis instantly).
Quality: 9.8/10 (The use of copywriting frameworks like FAB/PAS elevates the output above standard AI text).
SEO Utility: High (Built-in keyword injection and meta-data generation).

Final Advice: Do not just copy-paste the output. Use these prompts to build a “First Draft” that is 80% there. Then, spend your energy on the final 20%—adding your voice, your experiences, and your soul. That is how you win.
