Hey rebel solopreneurs 🦸♀️🦸♂️
Most solopreneurs post three times a week.
They spend 40 minutes each time trying to figure out what to write about.
That's two hours a week — gone.
And here's what they don't realise:
Their audience is already telling them exactly what they want to read.
Every day, someone in their niche wakes up with a problem they can't solve.
A question they can't answer.
A frustration they've been carrying for months.
That's a post idea.
There are 30 of them.
It takes 5 minutes to find them all.
🧩 You provide:
What you sell and who you sell it to (one sentence)
🍿 What you get:
First — a complete list of 30 pain points your audience is silently carrying
Then — 10 post ideas pulled directly from the sharpest pain points
Finally — a clear recommendation on which post to write first, and why
⛳️ Here's the scenario
Jordan ran a LinkedIn ghostwriting service for coaches and consultants.
He wrote posts for clients who were too busy to show up consistently online.
He got most of his own clients through LinkedIn — but picking topics was a weekly nightmare.
Every Sunday, he'd sit down to plan the week.
The easy ideas felt too obvious.
The clever ideas felt like they were for him, not his audience.
By Monday morning, he had two posts planned and a nagging feeling both were wrong.
One Saturday he was at the farmers market, waiting for his coffee order.
The woman beside him glanced at his laptop bag.
"You a writer?" she said.
Twenty years in brand strategy.
Consumer companies. What messages move people. What problems they're already carrying.
She'd spent her whole career figuring out what the customer was already feeling — not what the company wanted to say.
She looked at Jordan's cup.
"Charles Miller talks about this," she said.
"Pain points cause pain. Solving that pain makes great content."
"The trick isn't being clever. It's knowing which problems to solve."
Then she pulled out a pen and wrote two steps on a paper bag.
"Run these in order," she said. "You'll have a week of posts before that coffee cools down."
❌ What Jordan had: "10 post ideas about LinkedIn ghostwriting for coaches."
✅ What it became: Thirty specific frustrations Jordan's audience was already carrying — things like "I don't know how to talk about my results without sounding braggy" and "I keep attracting followers but none of them ever buy" — plus 10 post ideas mapped directly to the sharpest pain, with a clear recommendation on which to write first.
Same niche. Completely different starting point.
Jordan stared at the list.
He'd been writing about ghostwriting for a year.
He'd never once started from here.
🎯 Step 1: Find the pain — then turn it into posts
⏱️ 5 minutes
This prompt runs two things in order.
First, it surfaces 30 specific frustrations your audience is already feeling.
Then it turns the sharpest ones into 10 post ideas — and picks the strongest for you.
Here's what it produces:
Here's what changed:
❌ Before: "Post ideas for coaches who want more clients."
✅ After: "30 pain points:
I know I need to post consistently but I never know what to say
I attract followers but none of them ever buy
I feel like I'm copying other coaches instead of sounding like myself
I write posts and hear nothing back — not even a comment
I know my results are good but I don't know how to talk about them without sounding braggy [25 more listed...]
10 post ideas from the top pain points:
'Why your followers aren't turning into clients — and the one post type that changes that'
'The moment I stopped trying to sound like other coaches — and what happened to my DMs'
'If you've got great results but no one's asking about them, read this' [7 more listed...]
Recommended first post: Option 2. Your audience's deepest frustration isn't getting clients — it's feeling like an imposter while trying to. This angle is emotionally specific, immediately relatable, and positions you as someone who's been through it — not just someone who teaches it."
Here's the prompt that did that:
I create content for {e.g. coaches and consultants who want more clients through LinkedIn}.
Step 1 — List 30 specific pain points my audience is silently carrying.
Not broad topics. Real, specific frustrations — things they'd say out loud to a friend.
Things like: "I don't know what to post about", "I feel like no one reads what I write",
"I keep getting likes but no one ever buys."
Number them 1 to 30.
Step 2 — Use the results from Step 1.
Pick the 10 sharpest pain points — the most specific, most emotional,
and most likely to make someone stop scrolling.
For each one, write one LinkedIn post idea:
- A specific post angle (not just a topic — a point of view or story angle)
- A working title or opening line
Finally — review all 10 ideas and pick the single best one for my specific audience.
Tell me which one you picked and explain in 2-3 sentences why it will work best for them.
Jordan ran the prompt.
Thirty pain points and 10 post ideas in under four minutes.
He'd spent 40 minutes on Sunday doing worse.
Wild, right?
🏆 Jordan's results
Before:
40 minutes every Sunday trying to pick topics
Two posts planned, both feeling slightly off
Content that felt like it was for him, not his audience
After:
30 specific audience pain points in under 5 minutes
10 post ideas mapped to real frustrations, with a clear first move
A full week of content planned before his coffee went cold
Total time: 5 minutes. Not 40 minutes every week.
His AI sidekick surfaced what Jordan's audience was already feeling.
Jordan made the creative call on which pain hit hardest.
BAM.
One prompt.
Five minutes.
You go from staring at a blank page wondering what to write — to a full week of post ideas that speak directly to what your audience actually cares about.
That's it, my fellow outliers!
