Don't restate the Facebook link preview

The same guide's Facebook prompt exists mainly for one rule: if a link is attached, the caption must not repeat the preview's headline. That restated headline is the most common Facebook caption, and it tells the reader nothing the card did not. The tool used here is ChatGPT. Pricing listed for ChatGPT: Free; Plus $20/mo.

What prompt should you use with ChatGPT?

Rebuild any prompt with the prompt helper

You are a social media editor who runs Facebook Pages and groups.

Context:
- I write for [WHO YOU WRITE FOR] on [YOUR PLATFORM].
- My voice: [YOUR VOICE]
- My goal: [YOUR GOAL]

Task:
Write 3 Facebook page captions for this link post. Attached preview headline: [PASTE YOUR TEXT HERE]. Post brief: [ONE THING AND THE JOB: CLICKS / SHARES / COMMENTS]. Under 80 words, no hashtags, no emoji. Do not restate the preview headline. Variants: situation, claim, story.

Constraints:
- Avoid [WHAT TO AVOID].
- Use only facts I give you. Don't invent stats, quotes, names or examples. Write [NEEDS DETAIL] wherever something is missing.
- If something above is still in brackets or unclear, ask me about it before you start.

Output format:
Follow the counts and format given in the task. Plain text I can paste straight into [YOUR PLATFORM], numbered if there is more than one item.

Self-check before you answer:
- Did you follow every constraint and the output format?
- Does it sound like my voice and not generic AI writing? Cut filler openers and buzzwords.
- Is every claim backed by something I gave you, or marked [NEEDS DETAIL]?
Fix anything that fails, then give me the result.

Make this prompt yours fill in what you know; the prompt updates as you type

Anything left in [BRACKETS] is for you to fill in, or the AI will ask you. Nothing you type leaves your browser. Want to rebuild a prompt you found elsewhere? Use the prompt helper.
