How to understand and identify your marketing message, content and course ideas.
Content Authority Map
✅ Step 1: Define the Core Topic
Prompt:
“I want to create a topical authority map. My core topic is: [MAIN TOPIC]. Please give me 30 semantically relevant but unique subtopics or content pillars under this topic. These should be useful for course lessons, community discussion areas, and workshop content.”
✅ Step 2: Generate 10 Variations per Subtopic
(Use this for each of the 30 subtopics from Step 1.)
Prompt:
“For the topic ‘[SUBTOPIC]’, give me 10 useful variations or angles I could use to create lesson content, discussion prompts, or workshop sessions. These should each explore a unique facet, challenge, stage, or use case within this subtopic.”
✅ Step 3: Get 25 Questions per Variation
(Use this for each of the 10 variations under each subtopic.)
Prompt:
“For the topic variation ‘[TOPIC VARIATION]’, give me 25 of the most frequent or most challenging questions that learners, members, or community participants would have. These should help guide content creation, lessons, and Q&A material.”
✅ Optional Step 4: Group Ideas into Learning Tracks or Community Themes
(Once you’ve completed the full map, this step is useful for planning learning paths or community categories.)
Prompt:
“Here are 30 subtopics with their variations and key questions. Help me group these into 5-7 larger content tracks or learning themes that make sense for an online course, community structure, or membership journey.”
