How to Use This Prompt Pack

Find the prompt you need below and hit Copy Prompt. Paste it straight into your AI tool of choice, then swap the highlighted [PLACEHOLDERS] for your own content. My personal recommendation? Use Claude β€” it consistently gives the most natural, on-brand results for content like this. ChatGPT works well too, but Claude is my pick. No prompt-writing skills needed β€” just your existing content and a couple of minutes.

01

Content Audit Prompts

Before you repurpose anything, use these prompts to understand what you already have and where the gold is. Run these first whenever you're starting a new content planning session.

The Full Content Audit Audit

Use when: You want to understand exactly what you're working with before repurposing.

Paste a piece of existing content and get a full breakdown of what it contains and how to use it.

Act as a social media strategist for beauty salons. I'm going to paste a piece of content I've already published. Please tell me: (1) what the core message is in one sentence, (2) the target audience this would resonate with most, (3) three different formats I could repurpose this into, (4) one fresh angle I haven't covered on the same topic, and (5) one question I could turn into a Story poll to extend the conversation. Here is my content: [PASTE YOUR CAPTION, REEL SCRIPT, OR BLOG EXCERPT]
Top Performer Analysis Audit

Use when: You want to understand WHY a post performed well so you can create more like it.

I'm going to paste the caption and describe the format of one of my top-performing Instagram posts. Please analyse: (1) what made the hook work, (2) what emotional trigger it likely activated, (3) what type of content this falls into (educational, relatable, promotional, inspirational), and (4) give me three ideas for new posts that follow the same formula. My post format was: [REEL / CAROUSEL / STATIC IMAGE]. Here is the caption: [PASTE CAPTION]
Content Gap Finder Strategy

Use when: You want to know what you're missing in your content mix.

I'm a salon owner who specialises in [YOUR SERVICES, e.g. lash extensions, brow lamination, nails]. My target client is [DESCRIBE YOUR IDEAL CLIENT]. Here is a list of topics I've recently posted about: [LIST YOUR RECENT TOPICS]. Based on this, what important content am I missing? Give me 8 content ideas I haven't covered that would help me attract and convert new clients.
πŸ’‘

Pro tip: Go into your Instagram Insights and find your top 5 posts from 2–4 months ago. These are your repurposing goldmine. Saves and shares matter more than likes β€” if people saved it, they found it genuinely useful.

02

Caption Repurposing Prompts

A great caption is a content goldmine. These prompts will squeeze every last piece of value from captions you've already written.

Caption β†’ Carousel Carousel

Use when: You have a long, educational caption that would be easier to digest as a slide-by-slide carousel.

Act as a social media content specialist for a beauty salon. I'm going to paste a caption I've already written. Break it down into a 7-slide Instagram carousel. Slide 1 should be a strong hook that stops the scroll. Slides 2–6 should each cover one key point in simple, easy-to-read language β€” no more than 3 lines per slide. Slide 7 should be a clear call to action. The new caption for this post should be short and direct, pointing people to the carousel. Here is my caption: [PASTE CAPTION]
Caption β†’ 5 Fresh Hooks Caption

Use when: You want to repost old content but with a fresh opening line so it doesn't feel like a repeat.

Here is an Instagram caption I've written for my beauty salon. Give me 5 completely different hook options I could use if I repost this content. Each hook should be under 10 words, create curiosity or tap into a real emotion, and make someone stop scrolling. Do not use any questions that start with "Are you…" or "Do you…". Here is my caption: [PASTE CAPTION]
Caption β†’ 5 New Content Ideas Strategy

Use when: One great caption should spark at least five more β€” use this to generate your next week of content.

Act as a content creation specialist for beauty salon social media. Here is a caption that performed well on my account. Give me 5 new content ideas inspired by the same topic but with a different angle. For each idea include: the recommended format (reel, carousel, or static post), a suggested hook line, and a one-sentence description of what the content would cover. Here is my caption: [PASTE CAPTION]
Caption β†’ Reel Script Reel

Use when: You want to turn a written caption into a spoken-word reel script you can film.

Turn the following Instagram caption into a short reel script I can film as a talking-head or voiceover video. The script should be conversational and natural, like I'm talking directly to a client. It should run for approximately 30–45 seconds when spoken. Include an on-screen text suggestion for each key point so viewers watching on mute still get the message. End with a verbal call to action. My tone is warm, direct, and relatable β€” never corporate. Here is my caption: [PASTE CAPTION]
Caption β†’ Email Email

Use when: A great Instagram caption deserves to live in your email list too.

Rewrite the following Instagram caption as a short email to my client list. Keep the same message and core points but adapt the tone for email β€” slightly more personal, like I'm writing to one person directly. Include a subject line option and a PS at the end that points back to booking or a current offer. My name is [YOUR NAME] and I own [YOUR SALON NAME]. Here is my caption: [PASTE CAPTION]
03

Format-Switching Prompts

Same message, different format. These prompts help you flip between reels, carousels, and static posts without having to reinvent any of the content.

Carousel β†’ Reel Script Reel

Use when: You created a carousel that did well and want to turn it into a reel to reach a new audience.

I created an Instagram carousel for my salon on this topic: [TOPIC]. Here are the slide contents: [PASTE EACH SLIDE'S TEXT]. Turn this into a 30–45 second reel script I can film as a talking-head or voiceover. Keep the key points but make it feel natural and conversational. Also give me a B-roll suggestion for each section β€” simple footage I could film in my salon to use as visuals.
Reel β†’ Carousel Carousel

Use when: A reel performed well and you want to give the same content a longer shelf-life as a saved carousel.

Here is the script or transcript from a reel I posted for my beauty salon: [PASTE SCRIPT OR TRANSCRIPT]. Turn this into a 6–8 slide Instagram carousel. Slide 1 is the hook. Middle slides break down the key points β€” one point per slide, maximum 3 lines each. Final slide is a clear call to action. Also write a short caption (under 100 words) to go with it that directs people to swipe.
Reel β†’ Static Post + Caption Static Post

Use when: You want a simple static post version of a reel β€” great for days when you want to post quickly.

Here is the script or key points from a reel I created for my salon: [PASTE CONTENT]. Rewrite this as a standalone Instagram caption for a static image post. Open with a strong hook, cover the key message in the body, and end with a call to action. Write it in a warm, direct, and conversational tone. Keep it under 250 words.
Static Post β†’ Carousel Expansion Carousel

Use when: A single image post performed well and you want to expand it into a more detailed, save-worthy carousel.

I have a static Instagram post from my salon that performed well. Here is the caption: [PASTE CAPTION]. The image was of: [DESCRIBE THE IMAGE]. Expand this into an 8-slide carousel that goes deeper on the topic. Keep the hook from the original caption for Slide 1. Build out the detail across Slides 2–7. End with a CTA slide. Each slide should have a headline and 2–3 supporting lines of copy.
πŸŽ₯

B-roll tip: Film 2–3 minutes of yourself or your team working each week β€” close-ups of your hands, wide shots of the salon, footage of a client in the chair. Store it on your phone. This becomes the visual layer for almost every reel you'll ever repurpose without needing to film something new.

04

Instagram Stories Prompts

Stories are your warm audience β€” the people who already know and follow you. These prompts help you turn any existing post into a story sequence that drives bookings.

Feed Post β†’ Story Sequence Stories

Use when: You want to repurpose any post (reel, carousel, or caption) into a story sequence.

I have a piece of content I want to turn into a 5-slide Instagram Story sequence for my beauty salon. Here is the original content: [PASTE CAPTION OR REEL SCRIPT]. The topic is: [TOPIC]. Slide 1 should open with an engagement element β€” a question, poll, or multiple choice β€” to get people tapping. Slides 2–4 should deliver the key information in a conversational and punchy way β€” no more than 2 lines per slide. Slide 5 should have a clear call to action. Write the copy for each slide and suggest what type of engagement sticker to use on Slide 1.
Service Spotlight Story Sequence Stories

Use when: You want to spotlight a specific service in a story sequence without it feeling like a hard sell.

Write a 6-slide Instagram Story sequence to spotlight one of my salon services in a way that feels informative rather than salesy. The service is: [SERVICE NAME]. Key benefits: [LIST 3 BENEFITS]. Ideal client: [DESCRIBE]. Slide 1: engagement hook with a poll or quiz. Slides 2–4: educate and build desire. Slide 5: address one common concern or question about this service. Slide 6: clear booking CTA. Keep the tone warm and conversational.
Story Poll Ideas Generator Stories

Use when: You want to show up on stories consistently without always having to film something.

I own a beauty salon that specialises in [YOUR SERVICES]. Give me 10 Instagram Story poll or quiz ideas I could post this week to engage my existing followers. Mix of: fun and relatable polls, educational quiz questions clients would find interesting, and questions that lead into a service or booking. Each idea should include the question and the two or three answer options.
FAQ Story Sequence Stories

Use when: You keep getting the same questions from clients β€” turn them into story content.

I get asked these questions about my salon all the time: [LIST 3–5 COMMON CLIENT QUESTIONS]. Turn these into a story sequence where I answer each question across separate slides. Each answer slide should be conversational, clear, and under 2 lines. Add a CTA at the end pointing to my booking link. Format it as if I'm talking directly to a client who is on the fence about booking.
05

Blog & Podcast Repurposing Prompts

Your blog posts, podcast episodes, and long-form content are a goldmine. One piece of long-form content should give you at least a full week of social posts.

Blog Post β†’ 5 Short Captions Caption

Use when: You want to pull a week's worth of content out of one blog post.

I'm going to paste a blog post from my salon website. Rewrite it as 5 separate Instagram captions, each under 200 words. Each caption should cover a different angle or key point from the original. Open each one with a different hook. Write in a warm, direct, and conversational tone for a beauty salon audience. Do not use bullet points in the captions β€” write in natural flowing sentences. Here is my blog post: [PASTE BLOG POST]
Blog Post β†’ Content Ideas Strategy

Use when: You want to plan future content around topics you've already written about.

I'm going to paste a blog post I've written for my salon. Give me 8 short-form social media content ideas I can create from it. For each idea include: the recommended format (reel, carousel, or static post), a hook, and a 2-sentence outline of what the content would cover. Here is my blog post: [PASTE BLOG POST]
Podcast Transcript β†’ Social Content Strategy

Use when: You listen to podcasts about your industry and want to create content from the insights.

I'm going to paste a transcript from a podcast episode that's relevant to my salon audience. Pull out 6 short-form content ideas I could create for my salon's Instagram. For each idea include: the format, a hook, and a brief description of the content. Adapt each idea so it feels personal and relevant to a beauty salon audience β€” not generic business advice. Here is the transcript: [PASTE TRANSCRIPT]
Long Caption β†’ Blog Post Blog

Use when: You've already written a great long caption and want to turn it into an SEO blog post for your website.

I'm going to paste an Instagram caption I wrote for my salon. Expand this into a 600–800 word blog post for my salon website. Include: an SEO-friendly title, a short intro paragraph, subheadings that break up the content, the original information expanded with more detail, and a closing paragraph with a call to action to book. Also suggest 3 SEO keyword phrases I should naturally include throughout the post. My salon is based in [YOUR SUBURB/CITY] and specialises in [YOUR SERVICES]. Here is my caption: [PASTE CAPTION]
πŸ“

Start blogging if you haven't yet: Even one blog post a month gives you a long-form content base to repurpose from. Use AI to write it, add your own voice and examples, and post it to your website. Google rewards fresh, consistent content β€” and your social media benefits from having somewhere to point people for more information.

06

When You're Stuck for Ideas

No content? No inspiration? No problem. These prompts generate fresh ideas based on nothing but your niche, your services, and your ideal client.

Weekly Content Plan Generator Strategy

Use when: You want a full week of content mapped out without having to think too hard.

Create a 5-post Instagram content plan for this week for my beauty salon. My services include: [LIST SERVICES]. My ideal client is: [DESCRIBE IDEAL CLIENT]. For each post include: the format (reel, carousel, or static), the content angle (educational, relatable, promotional, or inspirational), a hook, and a one-sentence description. Mix the formats across the week. Do not suggest any post that is purely promotional without offering value first.
Hook Generator for Any Topic Caption

Use when: You know what you want to say but can't nail the opening line.

Write 10 Instagram hook options for a post about: [YOUR TOPIC]. The audience is beauty salon clients. Use a mix of approaches: curiosity gaps, relatable statements, surprising facts, bold opinions, and direct questions. Each hook should be under 12 words. Do not start any hook with "Are you…" or "Do you want…". Flag which 3 you think are the strongest and why.
Seasonal Content Ideas Strategy

Use when: You want to plan content around upcoming seasons, holidays, or events.

I own a beauty salon in Australia that specialises in [SERVICES]. Give me 10 Instagram content ideas tied to [SEASON / UPCOMING EVENT, e.g. spring, Christmas, school holidays, Valentine's Day]. For each idea include: the format, a hook, and a short description of the angle. Mix educational, relatable, and promotional content. At least 3 of the ideas should help drive bookings for this time of year.
Trending Audio β†’ Content Idea Reel

Use when: You've found a trending sound but aren't sure what to do with it.

I found a trending audio on Instagram/TikTok. The vibe of the audio is: [DESCRIBE THE AUDIO β€” e.g. fast-paced, emotional, funny, dramatic reveal]. I'm a beauty salon owner who specialises in [SERVICES]. Give me 5 reel concepts I could film using this audio. For each concept include: what I'd film, any on-screen text to use, and what the point of the reel is β€” entertaining, educational, or promotional.
07

Client Education Content Prompts

Educational content builds trust, positions you as the expert, and keeps clients coming back. These prompts help you explain your services, debunk myths, and answer the questions your clients didn't know to ask.

Explain a Service Simply Education

Use when: You want to create content that helps new clients understand a service before they book.

Write an Instagram caption that explains [SERVICE NAME] to someone who has never had it before. Cover: what it is, what happens during the appointment, the result they can expect, and how long it lasts. Write in plain language β€” no industry jargon. Open with a hook for someone who is curious but on the fence. End with a CTA to book or DM for more info. Keep it under 250 words and write in a warm, knowledgeable tone.
Myth-Busting Carousel Carousel

Use when: Your clients have misconceptions about a service that stop them from booking.

Create an 8-slide Instagram carousel that busts common myths about [SERVICE NAME]. Slide 1: a hook that calls out the myths. Slides 2–7: one myth per slide β€” state the myth first, then bust it with the real information. Keep it factual, clear, and reassuring β€” not condescending. Slide 8: CTA to book or ask questions in the comments. Also write a caption under 150 words to accompany the carousel.
Aftercare Guide Post Education

Use when: You want to create shareable aftercare content that your clients save and send to their friends.

Write an Instagram carousel or caption that covers the aftercare instructions for [SERVICE NAME]. Include the most important do's and don'ts in the first 24–48 hours, and any ongoing maintenance tips. Write in a friendly, clear tone β€” like you're messaging a client after their appointment. This should be content they'll save and refer back to. Format it as a checklist-style carousel with one tip per slide, plus a caption that encourages people to save it.
FAQ to Content Series Education

Use when: You get the same questions over and over β€” turn them into a content series.

Here are the most common questions my clients ask about [SERVICE NAME]: [LIST 5–8 QUESTIONS]. Turn each question into a separate Instagram post idea. For each one give me: the recommended format (reel, carousel, or static), a hook, and a short outline of what the post would cover. These should be genuinely educational and position me as the expert in my area.
Before & After Story Framework Education

Use when: You're posting a before and after and want the caption to do more than just say "before and after".

I'm posting a before and after photo of a [SERVICE NAME] on my salon's Instagram. Write a caption that goes beyond just describing the result. Include: a hook that makes someone stop, a brief story about the client's concern coming in (without naming them), the service I used to achieve the result, a key benefit that the client will now experience, and a CTA to book. Write in a warm and relatable tone. Keep it under 200 words.
08

Booking & Marketing Prompts

Content that converts. Use these prompts when you need to drive bookings, announce something new, or promote a service β€” without it feeling pushy.

Service Spotlight Post Marketing

Use when: You want to give a specific service the spotlight and drive bookings for it this week.

Write an Instagram post that spotlights [SERVICE NAME] at my salon. Do not make it feel like a hard sell. Instead, write it from the angle of helping the client understand why this service would benefit them. Cover: who it's ideal for, what problem it solves, what the experience is like, and why clients love it. End with a CTA to book. Write in a warm, confident tone. Under 220 words.
New Service Announcement Marketing

Use when: You're launching a new service and want to generate excitement and early bookings.

Write an Instagram announcement post for a new service I'm adding to my salon. The service is: [SERVICE NAME]. What it does: [BRIEF DESCRIPTION]. Who it's for: [IDEAL CLIENT]. Launch date or availability: [DATE / "now available"]. Write it in a way that builds excitement without overhyping. The tone should feel like I'm genuinely excited to be able to offer this. Include a CTA to book or DM me to find out more.
Last-Minute Availability Post Marketing

Use when: You have gaps in your books and want to fill them fast without sounding desperate.

Write a short, punchy Instagram caption for a last-minute availability post for my salon. I have [NUMBER] spots available this [DAY/WEEK] for [SERVICES]. Make it feel like an opportunity rather than a scramble to fill the diary. Keep it under 80 words. Include a clear CTA with urgency but without pressure. Give me 3 different caption options with different tones: one casual, one direct, one playful.
Client Review β†’ Social Content Marketing

Use when: You have a great client review and want to use it as a piece of social proof content.

I received this client review for my salon: [PASTE REVIEW]. The service was: [SERVICE NAME]. Turn this into an Instagram caption that uses the review as social proof without just quoting it directly. Build a short story around the result this client got, use their words as evidence of the outcome, and end with a CTA to book. Keep it under 200 words and write in my voice β€” warm, genuine, and direct.
Referral & Word-of-Mouth Post Marketing

Use when: You want to encourage your existing clients to refer their friends without running a discount.

Write an Instagram post encouraging my existing clients to recommend my salon to their friends, without offering a discount. Frame it around the idea that genuinely loving a service is worth sharing. The services I specialise in are: [SERVICES]. Keep the tone genuine and personal β€” not like a marketing push. End with a simple CTA like tagging a friend or sharing the post. Under 180 words.
πŸ“²

Remember: The best marketing content educates or connects first, then converts. Posts that lead with value β€” a tip, a story, a relatable observation β€” consistently outperform straight promotional posts. Use the education and repurposing sections to fill the gaps between your marketing posts.
