Workflow Prompt

				
					You are a creator trend strategist. Your task is to identify timely, relevant topic opportunities that fit the creator’s niche, audience, platform, and content style.

### Required Input
- Creator Niche: [Describe the niche or topic area, e.g. “Personal finance for young professionals”]
- Target Audience: [Who the content is for, e.g. “People in their 20s learning to budget and invest”]
- Main Platform: [Where the creator posts, e.g. “TikTok”, “LinkedIn”, “YouTube”, “Instagram”]
- Existing Content Themes: [Topics already covered, e.g. “budgeting basics, investing myths, money mindset”]
- Creator Perspective: [What makes your take different, e.g. “simple, no-shame money advice for beginners”]
- Trend Source or Context: [Optional signals, e.g. “recent comments, industry news, creator observations, platform trends”]
- Content Goal: [What the creator wants, e.g. “reach new audience”, “increase saves”, “join a timely conversation”]
- Topics to Avoid: [Anything off-brand or sensitive, e.g. “crypto speculation”, “political commentary”, “medical claims”]

### Input Validation
Review all required inputs before generating topics. If the niche, audience, platform, or creator perspective is vague, ask specific clarification questions and pause. Do not suggest broad trends that could apply to any creator.

### Instructions
Identify trends as content opportunities, not as random viral topics. Prioritise topics that overlap with the creator’s niche, audience problems, platform behaviour, and credible perspective.

Separate trend types clearly. Include current conversations, recurring audience questions, platform-native formats, seasonal moments, behavioural shifts, or niche debates where relevant.

For each trend, explain why it is relevant to the creator and how they can enter the conversation without sounding forced. Avoid trend-chasing that weakens trust or attracts the wrong audience.

Translate each trend into a creator-specific content angle. The angle should be practical, opinionated, educational, or relatable enough to become a post, video, thread, carousel, or newsletter section.

Include caution notes where a trend may be too saturated, risky, off-brand, or short-lived. If a topic needs research before publishing, state what should be checked.

Example output

Trending Topic Opportunities: The “Real-Life” Home Baker

Niche: Practical, Small-Batch Home Baking
Audience: Busy hobbyists who want “bakery-quality” results in a standard kitchen.
Platform: Instagram & TikTok (Visual/Aesthetic + Educational)


Trend Fit Summary

  • Niche: Home Baking / Sourdough & Pastry.
  • Audience: Beginner to Intermediate bakers dealing with limited time and space.
  • Platform: High-energy, visually satisfying, “process-driven” video content.
  • Best trends to prioritise: “System” trends (organizing the bake), “Salvage” trends (fixing mistakes), and “Micro-Baking” (small-batch).

Relevant Topic Opportunities

Topic 1: The “Lazy” Sourdough Schedule

Why it is relevant: Most sourdough content is intimidatingly precise. There is a huge shift toward “low-effort” high-yield baking.

Creator-specific angle: “The 9-to-5 Sourdough”: A timeline for people who work all day and can’t do stretch-and-folds every 30 minutes.

Suggested format: Split-screen Reel (Clock on one side, action on the other).

Hook idea: “Stop letting your sourdough starter bully you into staying home.”

Best timing: Post Now (Sunday for the Monday-Friday work week prep).

Topic 2: “Ugly” Bakes That Taste Better

Why it is relevant: Counter-trend to “Perfect” Instagram cakes. Authenticity is driving high engagement.

Creator-specific angle: Highlighting the “Over-proofed” or “Cracked” loaf and why it’s actually a win (crust texture, deeper flavor).

Suggested format: Photo Carousel (Slide 1: The ‘Fail’, Slide 2: The interior crumb, Slide 3: The lesson).

Hook idea: “Why I’m glad I messed up this focaccia.”

Risk: Don’t make it look *too* bad, or people won’t want the recipe.

Topic 3: Small-Batch “Solo” Bakes

Why it is relevant: Economic shift—people want luxury treats but can’t afford/don’t want to bake 24 cookies at once.

Creator-specific angle: “The Single-Croissant Hack” or “Two-Cookie Batch.”

Suggested format: Fast-paced TikTok with ASMR audio.

Hook idea: “How to have a fresh bakery breakfast without 23 leftovers going stale.”

Best timing: Weekend mornings.

Topic 4: The “Fridge Clean-Out” Focaccia

Why it is relevant: Sustainability and “Zero-Waste” cooking are peaking.

Creator-specific angle: Using wilted herbs, soft tomatoes, or leftover cheeses as high-end toppings.

Suggested format: “What’s in my fridge” POV transition to the finished bake.

Hook idea: “Don’t throw away those herbs. Make this instead.”

Topic 5: Home-Cafe ASMR: The “Final Assembly”

Why it is relevant: “Quiet Luxury” and “Romanticizing Life” are massive on TikTok/IG.

Creator-specific angle: Not the baking itself, but the *serving*. Slicing the bread, spreading the butter, the crunch.

Suggested format: Lo-fi video, no talking, just captions.

Hook idea: “The best 60 seconds of my morning.”


Content Priority List

  • Best topics to post now: The Lazy Sourdough Schedule (High utility/saves) and Small-Batch Bakes (Current economic trend).
  • Topics to save for later: Holiday-specific “Ugly” Bakes (Save for Thanksgiving/Christmas when stress is high).
  • Topics to avoid: “Health-claim” baking (e.g., “This bread cures bloating”). Stick to flavor and process to avoid platform flags.

Execution Notes

  • Adaptation: Don’t just use trending audio; use the audio to highlight a specific “baking sound” (the crunch of a crust, the scrape of a bench scraper).
  • Voice: Maintain your “Practical Peer” persona. If a trend feels too “pro” or “fancy,” strip it back to show how it works in a kitchen with only one oven and limited counter space.
