Hey rebel solopreneurs 🦸♀️🦸♂️
You have moments from your day sitting there. Daily experiences. Conversations. Wins. Struggles.
Smart ones turn those into converting stories in 10 minutes.
⛳️ Why this works
You need stories to sell. Stories that pull readers in. Stories that make them buy.
But writing compelling stories? Feels impossible.
You stare at blank docs. Start typing. Delete. Try again. Still feels generic.
Hours wasted. Story still feels flat.
Here's the thing:
Think of story structure like cooking.
You wouldn't walk into a kitchen without a recipe, right? You wouldn't just throw random ingredients in a pan and hope it turns into Beef Wellington.
You'd follow a proven recipe. You'd use the right spices. You'd follow the steps that actually work.
Story writing is the same.
Master copywriters like George Ten (built an $8.5M store using stories) don't wing it. They follow proven structures. They use specific ingredients. They apply signature styles that make people buy.
And here's what most creators miss: Those structures can be taught to AI.
You just need three things. The story ingredients. The proven structure. The signature style.
Your AI sidekick handles the rest.
You turn any moment from your day into a story that converts. Not generic AI slop. Stories that sound like they came from a master copywriter.
Stories that make people buy. BOOM.
Let's see how Taylor figured this out:
📋 Get better results with context setup. Setup in 5 minutes | Download sample
Taylor writes email newsletters. Twice a week.
But here's the problem.
After 8 months and 64 newsletters, Taylor's open rates were solid. 42%.
But click-through? 3%.
Sales? Almost zero.
Every newsletter felt the same. Tips. Lists. How-tos.
Readers liked the content. They just didn't buy.
Taylor knew the answer. Stories. Everyone said stories convert way better than tips.
So Taylor tried. Opened blank doc. Started writing a story.
"Last week I learned something important..."
Delete.
"Here's what happened when I tried..."
Delete.
Should this be funny? Serious? Where's the lesson? How do I structure this?
2 hours. One paragraph written and deleted 8 times.
The problem? Taylor believed you needed natural copywriting talent to write compelling stories.
Turns out, you don't. You just need a framework.
Then Taylor found something. A principle from a multi-million dollar copywriter.
A concept called "The 3-Ingredient Story System."
It explained exactly why manual story writing was killing productivity. And how to train AI to write stories that sell in minutes.
Taylor decided to follow these steps:
Step 1: Collect story ingredients from daily life Step 2: Train AI to write in any copywriter's style
Step 3: Generate stories using proven structure
🎯 Step 1: Taylor collects story ingredients
Taylor opened ChatGPT/Claude.
Needed stories that made people buy. Not just feel-good moments.
But wait.
Which moments from the day even make good stories? How do you pick?
Taylor had no clue.
Tried brainstorming. "That client call went well... maybe?" Nah, too vague.
"The coffee shop was crowded..." So what?
"Had an argument with spouse about budget..." Too personal?
30 minutes scrolling through the day's events. Nothing felt story-worthy.
The problem? Taylor didn't know what makes a moment story-worthy.
But if Taylor could see the exact ingredients that turn boring moments into compelling stories, picking would be obvious.
Here's what Taylor tried:
The prompt needed just three things: What happened (the event), why it mattered (the impression), and what the lesson was (the takeaway). From there, it would show Taylor how to spot story-worthy moments every single day.
The Story Ingredients Collector prompt:
You are a master storyteller and story coach.
Your task: Help me identify story-worthy moments from my day using the 3-ingredient framework.
THE 3 INGREDIENTS:
1. THE EVENT: What happened during my day? Something that stood out - a difficult situation, something funny, something surprising, a mistake, a win.
2. THE IMPRESSION: Why did this event leave an impression? What made it memorable? What emotion did it create?
3. THE TAKEAWAY: What's the lesson or insight? What does this say about life, work, or the world? What's in it for the reader - problem solved, obstacle overcome, or "Aha!" moment?

ANALYZE THIS MOMENT:
I will describe a moment from my day. Extract the 3 ingredients and show me if this has story potential.
---
INPUT:
[Describe a moment from your day here - can be 2-3 sentences]
---
RETURN FORMAT:
**Event Analysis:**
- What happened (factual recap)
- Story potential score (1-10)
**Impression Analysis:**
- Why it stood out to you
- Emotional hook for readers
**Takeaway Analysis:**
- The lesson/insight
- What's in it for the reader
**Story-Worthiness:**
- YES/NO with explanation
- If YES: Recommended story angle
- If NO: What's missing
ChatGPT/Claude returned the framework.
Taylor described a moment: "Client called at 9 PM demanding urgent revisions that could've waited until morning."
The AI analyzed it:
Event Analysis:
Late-night boundary violation
Story potential: 8/10
Impression Analysis:
Frustration + resentment (relatable emotion)
Hook: Most freelancers face this
Takeaway Analysis:
Lesson: Weak boundaries create resentment
Reader benefit: How to set client expectations without losing them
Story-Worthiness: YES
Angle: "The 9 PM Email That Changed My Client Boundaries"
Taylor scanned the analysis. That one moment had all three ingredients.
Event: Clear. Impression: Strong. Takeaway: Valuable.
Completion moment: Taylor knew exactly which daily moments had story potential.
🎨 Step 2: Taylor trains AI to write like a master copywriter
Taylor had story ingredients.
Now needed to actually write the story.
Here's what worked:
The prompt needed just one thing: A sample of writing Taylor wanted to mimic. From there, it would analyze voice, tone, rhythm, transitions, and signature patterns. Taylor could then ask AI to write in that exact style.
The Style Guide Creator prompt:
You have expertise in linguistics, natural language processing, and style analysis.
Your task: Analyze the provided text and create a detailed style guide that captures this writer's signature voice.
ANALYZE THESE ELEMENTS:
1. **Voice and Tone**
- Formality level (casual/professional/mix)
- Emotional register (authoritative/friendly/conversational)
2. **Mood**
- Emotional atmosphere created
- Predominant feeling (energetic/calm/mysterious/urgent)
3. **Sentence Structure**
- Typical length (short/medium/long)
- Complexity (simple/compound/complex/mixed)
- Patterns (fragments? questions? one-liners?)
4. **Rhythm and Pacing**
- Fast-paced with short beats
- Deliberate with longer sentences
- Mix with strategic variety
5. **Transition Style**
- How ideas connect
- Favorite transition words/phrases
- Use of questions or hooks
6. **Signature Patterns**
- Recurring phrases
- Unique punctuation
- Formatting quirks
- Distinctive word choices
---
RETURN FORMAT:
**Style Overview:**
[2-3 sentence summary of overall style]
**Detailed Breakdown:**
[For each element above, provide specific examples and patterns]
**Signature Indicators:**
[The unique elements that make this writer instantly recognizable]
**Replication Guide:**
[3-5 rules to follow when writing in this style]
---
INPUT:
[Paste the sample writing you want to analyze - 300-500 words minimum for best results]
Taylor pasted a George Ten email (the $8.5M copywriter).
The AI returned:
Style Overview: Casual, conversational, visual storytelling with punchy beats. Uses present tense for immediacy. Frequent one-liners. CAPS for emphasis.
Detailed Breakdown:
Voice: First-person, talking to a friend over beer
Sentences: Mix of fragments and medium (5-15 words)
Rhythm: Fast with strategic pauses using one-liners
Transitions: "Picture this." "And there I was." "Let me tell you."
Signatures: "LMAO" "POOF!" Caps lock for comedy
Replication Guide:
Use present tense even for past events
Drop one-line beats between scenes
Paint visual scenes ("Picture this...")
Use CAPS sparingly for punchlines
Keep it conversational (contractions, slang)
Taylor read through it. Every signature pattern was there.
The casual voice. The visual beats. The strategic caps lock.
Completion moment: Taylor had a complete blueprint for writing like a master copywriter.
📋 Step 3: Taylor generates stories automatically
Taylor had ingredients. Taylor had style.
Now just needed to actually generate the story.
Here's what Taylor ran:
The prompt needed three things: The story ingredients (from Prompt 1), the style guide (from Prompt 2), and a proven structure to follow. From there, AI would write the complete story.
The Story Generator prompt:
You are a master storyteller trained in multiple narrative frameworks.
Your task: Generate a compelling story that sells, using provided ingredients, style, and structure.
---
STORY INGREDIENTS:
[Use the analyzed moment from Prompt 1 above]
---
STYLE GUIDE:
[Use the style analysis from Prompt 2 above]
---
STRUCTURE TO FOLLOW:
Use this proven framework:
1. Hook (grab attention - start at interesting moment)
2. Setup (establish context briefly)
3. Conflict (the problem/obstacle - build tension)
4. Action (what happened - show don't tell)
5. Resolution (outcome - what changed)
6. Lesson (the takeaway for reader)
7. CTA (optional - plug your product/service)
---
WRITING RULES:
- Tell in first person
- Start at the MOST interesting moment
- Use open loops to maintain attention
- Follow logical sequence (this happened, so what, so this)
- Keep it under 400 words
- Match the style guide precisely
---
RETURN FORMAT:
Generate the complete story following the structure above and matching the style guide.
After the story, provide:
- **Word count**
- **Engagement hooks used** (list 2-3)
- **CTA suggestions** (3 options if not included)
ChatGPT/Claude generated the story.
Taylor read through it. The style matched George Ten perfectly. Present tense. Visual beats. One-liners. Strategic caps.
The structure flowed naturally. Hook grabbed attention. Conflict built tension. Resolution delivered the lesson.
400 words. Email-ready.
The AI even suggested CTAs:
"Want to set boundaries that clients actually respect? Try this."
"I built a boundaries framework. It's in my course."
"This changed my freelance game. Link below."
Completion moment: Taylor had a complete, converting story written in a master copywriter's style.
