Workflows
1. Build a Trend Teardown Post
Write a real-time summary post when a major industry event occurs:
- The Hook: Announce the event and state a bold, contrarian take on how it impacts your ICP's business immediately:
[LLM Name] just dropped. Most founders will use it to write generic blog posts. But the smart ones are using it to automate [Specific painful task]. Here is the exact setup you need to clone it today: - The Body (The Value): Detail 3-5 concrete takeaways, prompts, or code adjustments needed to implement the update.
- The Call-to-Value (The Lead Magnet): Offer a detailed PDF guide, template, or script to people who comment:
I spent the last 6 hours building a [resource name] for this. If you want it: 1. Like this post. 2. Comment "[Keyword]". And I'll DM it to you.
2. Convert Comments into Booked Calls
Manually or systematically distribute the asset and start conversations:
- Deliver the Asset: DM commenters with the link:
Hey [Name], saw you commented on the [Topic] post. Here is the direct link to the guide/script: [Link]. - Pivot to Discovery: Follow up with a helpful question 24 hours later:
Did you get a chance to run that script? We just integrated it for a client to cut [pain point] — let me know if you run into any setup bugs.
