How-To Guide: Building a Social Media Content System with ChatGPT
Step 1: Define your content pillars
Before using ChatGPT, spend 5 minutes defining 4–6 topics you'll rotate through. These should be things your ideal clients care about. Examples for a personal lines agent:
- Home insurance myths / surprises
- Auto insurance tips (teen drivers, claims, discounts)
- Life events and coverage needs (new home, new baby, divorce)
- Claims do's and don'ts
- Renters insurance (for younger clients)
- Local market/rate updates
Write these down — you'll use them as inputs for every content generation session.
