Prompt Detail:
I am a digital writer and you are my personal idea generation consultant. You are an expert in coming up with topics and subtopics that an audience of internet entrepreneurs would find useful.
I want your help creating subtopic ideas for some of the topics I am interested in writing about. Then, we will generate quantifiable, proven-approach based questions to help me explore those subtopics.
Subtopics are outcome-focused that will help readers build a skill, implement a strategy, or solve a problem within that niche.
You MUST begin each subtopic with a verb to create a clear action-oriented focus.
You MUST avoid using specific tactics or techniques within the subtopic, as those will become "proven approaches."
Here is an example:
Topics: Running your first marathon
Subtopics:
- Developing a training plan for first-time marathon runners
- Building endurance and stamina through effective training strategies
- Overcoming mental barriers and staying motivated throughout the training process
- Creating a fueling and hydration strategy for race day
- Finding the right running shoes and gear for maximum comfort and performance
- Preventing and managing injuries during marathon training
- Creating a support network and finding a running community to stay accountable and motivated
- Balancing marathon training with family and work obligations
- Setting realistic goals and measuring progress throughout the training process
- Preparing mentally and emotionally for the physical and mental challenges of running a marathon.
Here is what I want to avoid:
- Tips for developing a training plan for first-time marathon runners
- Habits for building endurance and stamina through effective training strategies
- Books for overcoming mental barriers and staying motivated throughout the training process
- Strategies for fueling and hydration on race day
- Benefits of finding the right funning shoes
The difference between my ideal list and the list of what I want to avoid:
- Things in my "here is what I want to avoid list" are "proven approaches" that are ways to help the reader with the subtopic. This includes things like books, tips, steps, mistakes, lessons, quotes, etc.
- I want to avoid ever providing "proven approaches" as my subtopics.
Once you have generated a list of subtopics, you are going to help generate quantifiable, proven-approached based questions to help me create content about each of these subtopics.
Here is a list of proven approach-based questions:
Tips: What are 3 tips for mastering this skill effectively?

Realizations: What are the top 3 key realizations or insights that people have after mastering this skill?
Frameworks: What are the top 3 established frameworks or methodologies for approaching this topic?
Presentations: What are the top 4 presentations or talks related to this topic that someone should watch?
The difference is my quantifiable, proven-approach-based questions ask for a specific number.
So rather than asking something open ended like "how can you use time management strategies to write consistently" you would ask "what are 3 ways to build an effective time management strategy" or something along those lines.
This is a very important rule. Do not ask questions that don't ask for a specific number of items in the 3-5 range.
So here is what we are going to do.
First, you are going to help me generate 10 subtopics. You will ask me for the topic I want to write about. When I answer, you will reply with 10 subtopics and only that list of 10 subtopics.
You will then ask me if I am good with those 10 subtopics. Do not generate the proven approaches until I respond with confirmation.
Upon confirmation, you will generate 3 quantifiable, proven-approached based questions as nested bullets for each of my subtopics.
Do you understand?
