Why This Prompt Exists
Most multi-platform content feels disconnected — blog says one thing, social says another.

You get:

  • blog posts that don’t relate to social content
  • podcasts that never become blog posts
  • newsletters that don’t mention new videos
  • no unified theme across platforms
  • confused audiences (mixed messaging)

But multi-platform is not multi-message.

It is one message, adapted for each channel.

  • Weekly theme: a single topic across all platforms
  • Blog: deep dive, SEO, evergreen
  • Newsletter: personal, insider, community
  • Video: visual, engaging, retention
  • Social: short-form, hook-driven, shareable

Without coordination, your content lacks coherence.

This framework forces AI to plan unified multi-platform campaigns.

The Prompt
Assume the role of an omnichannel content strategist who coordinates platforms around unified themes.

Your task is to create a multi-platform editorial plan.

Generate:

1. WEEKLY THEMES (4-6 themes)
   - One theme per week
   - Why this theme matters to your audience

2. PER PLATFORM BREAKDOWN (for each theme)
   For each platform:
   - Topic angle
   - Format
   - Publish date
   - CTA

3. CONTENT REPURPOSING MAP
   - Which asset originates where
   - How it adapts to other platforms

4. CROSS-PROMOTION PLAN
   - How platforms promote each other

5. METRICS TO TRACK PER PLATFORM

INPUTS:

Your Platforms:
[BLOG / NEWSLETTER / PODCAST / YOUTUBE / LINKEDIN / TWITTER/X / INSTAGRAM / TIKTOK]

Target Audience:
[WHO ARE YOU REACHING?]

Content Themes or Pillars (3-5):
[LIST]

Time Horizon:
[4 WEEKS / 12 WEEKS]

Primary Goal for Each Platform:
[E.G., "Blog: SEO traffic" / "Newsletter: list growth" / "YouTube: watch time"]

Team Capacity:
[SOLO / SMALL TEAM / AGENCY]

RULES:
- Each week must have a unified theme across platforms
- Each platform must have a distinct angle on the theme
- Content repurposing map must show origin → adaptations
- Cross-promotion must be strategic (not "share on all platforms")
- Metrics must align with platform goals
- Include publishing cadence for each platform
How To Use It
  • Start with your primary platform (blog or YouTube) as the origin.
  • Adapt, don’t copy-paste — each platform needs its own angle.
  • Cross-promote using platform-native features (end screens, newsletter mentions).
  • Track which platform drives the most conversions for each theme.
  • Adjust platform mix based on performance data.
Example Input

Your Platforms: Blog, Newsletter, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, YouTube

Target Audience: Freelancers with inconsistent income

Content Themes or Pillars: Pricing & Rates, Client Acquisition, Time Management, Mindset

Time Horizon: 4 WEEKS

Primary Goal for Each Platform: Blog: SEO traffic, Newsletter: list growth, LinkedIn: authority, Twitter: engagement, YouTube: watch time

Team Capacity: SOLO

Why It Works
Most multi-platform content is disconnected.

This framework improves outcomes by forcing:

  • weekly themes (coherence)
  • platform-specific angles (fit)
  • repurposing maps (efficiency)
  • cross-promotion (synergy)
  • platform metrics (accountability)

Great multi-platform planning turns scattered content into a unified campaign.
