Howdy rebel solopreneurs 🦸♂️🦸♀️
Writing a 1,500-word post before testing the idea is like building a house from blueprints you've never shown anyone.
You spend two hours writing.
You hit publish.
Crickets.
Not because the writing was bad.
Because the idea was never validated.
The pros test the idea in a short-form post first.
If it lands, they expand it into a long-form post a month later.
If it dies, they move on.
Rohan spent 6 years at a tech company before going solo.
Now he helps small software founders rewrite their pitch.
The words on their website, in their ads, on sales calls.
He posts on Twitter most weekdays.
He'd spend 90 minutes on each post.
Three paragraphs.
One clear point.
One ask at the end (what marketers call a CTA — call to action).
He'd polish until 11pm.
But all he got was — a mere — twelve impressions per post.
Not on a bad day.
The weekly average.
He came across a prompt from an AI and direct response expert — VJ Caples — and tried it.
He fed it one headline.
60 seconds later he had a 5-bullet short-form post ready to publish.
He tweeted it before lunch.
By Friday — wait for it — 4,200 impressions.
38 replies.
12 new followers.
His usual tweet got twelve impressions in a week.
What used to take 90 minutes manually took 60 seconds.
🍿 You will get:
A 280-character short-form post you can publish today
(encouraging line + 3-5 bullets, no hashtags, no emojis)
The format the bullets used — tips, steps, mistakes, questions, or tools
so you know what's working
The long-form post headline this short-form tests,
so you know what to write next if it lands
🧩 Before / After
🎸Before (long-form post — 2 hours, untested):
5 questions every first-time rental property buyer must ask before signing.
Based on my 6 years analyzing hundreds of properties...
[1,500 words explaining each question in detail]
...ultimately, the right property is the one where the math works.
🎸After (short-form post — 60 seconds, tests the idea):
You don't need to be a real estate genius.
You need 5 questions.
What does the previous tenant pay?
What's the average vacancy?
What's the cap rate after expenses?
Who handled the last 3 repairs?
What's the seller's reason for selling?
One headline. Five bullets. Sixty seconds.
🎯 Here is the prompt:
Save this prompt as a Skill or add to Project in your favorite AI tool — build once, use weekly.
Update your input values in the prompt or just run as is, AI will use the example values and will give output.
CONTEXT:
- (use what's available, fall back to the inline values)
- If my Voice Profile exists, write in that voice. Otherwise, write in a clear, punchy, no-jargon voice.
- If my ICP / Audience doc exists, target that reader. Otherwise, use the audience below.
Inputs:
Topic: {e.g. buying your first rental property}
For Audience: {e.g. first-time investors with $50K saved who are nervous about overpaying}
For Outcome: {e.g. knowing the 5 questions to ask before signing}
Outputs:
Write a 280-character short-form post using these rules:
1. Open with ONE short encouraging sentence
2. 3-5 succinct bullets in a list
3. Pick ONE format for the bullets — tips, steps, mistakes, questions, or tools — don't mix
4. No hashtags. No emojis. Ever.
Then tell me which format the bullets used.
Then give me the long-form post headline this short-form tests — so I know what to write next if it lands.
One headline.
A 5-bullet short-form post.
You know what to write long-form before you waste an hour on it.
That's it, my fellow anti-status-quo-ers!
