How to Go From Idea to Post in 10 Minutes

This 10-minute storytelling flow will help you move from spark to scroll-stopper without the overthinking.

Ever stare at your screen trying to write about your offer…
and suddenly everything sounds stiff, boring, or too "salesy"?

The problem isn’t your offer.
It’s the angle.

Instead of selling your product, tell the story behind it—the moment that sparked it, the shift it created, the reason it exists in the first place.

5 Prompts That Turn Any Offer Into a Story in 10 Minutes or Less

🧨 Intro (Hook)

You know your offer can help people.
But when it’s time to post about it?

You freeze.

The good news?
You don’t need a hard sell. You just need a story.
Here are 5 prompts to turn any offer into one that connects.

1. “Before I created this, I was…”
This brings people into the origin story—and shows them you get it.
→ Why it works: People trust solutions that come from real experience.

2. “One thing my clients always ask is…”
Turn a common question into a relatable entry point.
→ Why it works: It mirrors what your audience is already wondering.

3. “Here’s what I thought would work—but didn’t…”
Share a mistake, myth, or mindset shift that led to your offer.
→ Why it works: Vulnerability builds trust. Insight builds authority.

4. “The moment I knew this mattered was…”
Highlight a story, result, or reaction that confirmed your offer had impact.
→ Stories are sticky. Results are magnetic. Blend both and you’ve got gold.

5. “This isn’t just about [surface-level benefit]. It’s about…”
Dig into the deeper transformation.
→ You’re not just selling a service—you’re guiding them to a bigger outcome.

   “Here’s what I thought would work. It didn’t.”

3. Tell the Story in 3–4 Lines (3 min)
   → Describe the moment, shift, or insight that led to your offer
   → Keep it casual, conversational, and honest

4. Bridge It to Your Offer (2 min)
   → Explain what changed—and how your offer now helps others
   “That’s why I created [Offer Name]—to make this easier for you.”

✅ Save this mini checklist

Next time you post about your offer, ask:
→ Did I tell a story, not just state a fact?
→ Did I show why this matters—not just what it is?

🧰 Quick Tip:

When writing about your offer, start with the shift not the service.
What changed for you or your client? That’s your hook.
