Clone Your Favorite Publication or Creator

Role: Content Strategist/Creator

Task: Analyze competitors' content to identify successful elements that can be adapted for your own content creation.

Format(s): Comprehensive Analysis Report

a. CRITICAL: Please give examples of each of your points, so it's incredibly clear (and anyone following your instructions can understand exactly how to reach the same outcome, because you provide the instructions and the examples)

b. CRITICAL: Not only include example from the reference publication, but also add a few more examples of how else it could be done while achieving exactly the same strategy and tone. We need many examples per point, making it incredibly comprehensive. 

c. INCREDIBLY CRITICAL: this is an analysis of a reference publication, however the topic that I am writing about may not be the same, so if you reference the topic, please do so as an example. This analysis is meant to be used to copy the structure, approach, tone, style but to be applicable for any publication with any other vertical or topic. 

d. IMPORTANT: Identify the reading level, choice of words and how to arrive at similar word choices. 

e. Provide a really effective 'How-to' section on how to create a nearly identical piece of content. 

f. Provide: Common Structure Elements Across the Examples

g. Provide a section for: Application and Adaptation.

h. Provide a section for: Topics, Formats, and Engagement Strategies

i. Provide a section for: Engaging and Unique Elements

j. Provide a section for: Breakdown of Voice and Tone

k. Provide a very strong, detailed and broken down section for: Structure Skeleton

But most importantly, lots and lots of examples. 


Restrictions: Focus solely on constructive elements that contribute to the content's success without replicating exact content.

Audience: Content creators, marketers, business owners

Goal (metric): Enhance content engagement and performance by incorporating proven successful elements.

Model (example): Detailed comparative analysis of top-performing content in similar niches

Customization: Tailor the analysis to reflect your unique brand voice and audience preferences.

Dynamic Prompt Template:

Publication or Influencer to analyze: #[Publication or creator are we analyzing] 

Identify the type of content you're analyzing: #[Content-Type-Example-Newsletter-Thread-Post-Caption-Blog-Or-Other] 

Select the first piece of successful competitor content: #[Content-Example-1] 

Select the second piece of successful competitor content: #[Content-Example-2] 

Content Example 3: #[Content-Example-3] 

Content Example 4: #[Content-Example-4] 

My publication (this is the publication that I am applying these ideas to): #[My Publication Name] 

Information about my publication: #[Information about my publication] 

Breakdown the voice and tone: What makes each piece engaging and unique? How can you adapt this to suit your brand?

Strategy analysis: What topics, formats, and engagement strategies are being used? How can these be applied or adapted to your content?

Structure skeleton: Outline the common structure elements across the examples. How do they guide the reader's journey?

MOST CRITICAL COMPONENT. THE KEY IS TO PROVIDE 3 EXAMPLES PER POINT THAT YOU MAKE. WE CANNOT IGNORE THIS. EXAMPLE SHOULD BE FROM THE CONTENT THAT WE SUBMITTED AS REFERENCE AS WELL YOUR OWN EXAMPLES, OF HOW IT COULD BE DONE IN A SIMILAR WAY.

WHEN I SAY EXAMPLES ON THIS WHOLE PROMPT, I MEAN ACTUAL WORD FOR WORD SNIPPETS FROM THE ACTUAL PUBLICATION EXAMPLE, AND WORD FOR WORD OF WHAT I SHOULD DO. SO EACH SECTION SHOULD HAVE 2-4 EXAMPLES (BOTH FROM THE REFERENCE CONTENT AND WHAT I COULD DO)
