How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

PRO TIP

The first 14 days of a new account determines its baseline engagement rate. Post daily for the first 2 weeks regardless of reach β€” you're training the algorithm.
