From 10 Tabs To 10x Output
Most solo creators lose 5–10 hours every week context-switching between research, writing, editing, and posting.
The problem? No system
AI changes this. Instead of jumping between tools, you build small repeatable workflows once—then reuse the same prompts every week like a production line.
The result: less blank-page anxiety, more shipping. Newsletters. Videos. Tweets. Client offers. All driven by one simple system.
Let's walk through three AI workflows that most solo creators miss, plus ready-to-paste prompts for your daily work.
System 1: Research In 10 Minutes
You probably spend 1–2 hours per piece researching, Googling, and trying to figure out what your audience actually cares about.
AI kills this. Use it as your research assistant to map pain points and content angles before you ever write a word.
Copy-paste prompt – Audience & Topic Scanner
You are my research assistant.
I create content for: [describe your audience].
My weekly topic is: [your topic, e.g. “AI workflows for solo creators”].
1. List the top 10 specific problems they have around this topic.
2. For each problem, suggest 2 content angles: 1 practical, 1 contrarian.
3. Highlight the 3 angles that feel the most “painful and urgent” for them.Copy-paste prompt – 10-Minute Deep Dive
You are a content strategist.
Topic: [your topic].
Task:
1. Give me a concise briefing: what, why it matters, and who cares most.
2. List 10 practical tips ranked from “quick win” to “advanced”.
3. Suggest 3 good hooks for a YouTube video and 3 for an email subject line.💡 Why this saves hours: Instead of random research, you get a structured brief in 2 minutes. You know exactly what angle to take before you write one sentence.
System 2: Draft Once, Repurpose Everywhere
One strong piece of writing (like this newsletter) can become a YouTube script, TikTok clips, LinkedIn posts, and tweets using the same AI workflow.
You write once. AI turns it into an entire week of omnichannel content.
Copy-paste prompt – Newsletter First Draft
You are my ghostwriter.
Brand voice: [your style: casual, nerdy, direct, etc].
Audience: [your audience].
Goal: Draft a newsletter on "[your topic]" that:
Starts with a 2–3 sentence hook focused on a painful problem
Has 2–3 short sections with clear subheadings
Includes at least 3 bullet-point tactics
Ends with a clear call-to-action: reply, share, or watch my latest video
Length: 700–900 words. Keep it punchy and practical.
Copy-paste prompt – Turn Newsletter Into YouTube Script
You are a YouTube scriptwriter.
Take the following newsletter and turn it into a video script for my channel "The 10x Solo" where I share AI workflows for solo creators.
Requirements:
Strong hook in the first 20 seconds
Clear section breaks (INTRO, PROBLEM, SYSTEM, STEPS, CTA)
Conversational language, short sentences
Add natural transitions between sections
Input: [paste your newsletter here]
💡 Why this saves hours: One piece of content becomes 5–7 pieces. One hour of focused writing becomes a week's worth of posts.
System 3: Edit, Polish, And Ship Faster
You probably spend 30–45 minutes editing and polishing. AI handles the mechanical stuff—clarity, tightness, structure—so you focus on voice and ideas.
Copy-paste prompt – Clarity & Punch Editor
You are a professional editor.
I'm sending an email newsletter to busy solo creators.
Edit for clarity, brevity, and flow
Keep my voice but remove fluff and repetition
Suggest 5 subject lines and 5 preview snippets optimized for opens
Highlight any parts that feel confusing or low-impact and suggest stronger alternatives
Text: [paste your draft]
Copy-paste prompt – Social Snippets Factory
You are my content repurposing assistant.
Take the text below and:
Create 3 Twitter/X threads (5–7 tweets each)
Create 5 short LinkedIn posts
Create 10 short-form video hooks (under 15 words each)
Keep everything specific to solo creators using AI to save time.
Text: [paste your newsletter or script]
💡 Why this saves hours: Forget manually rewriting. You get a batch of polished social posts in seconds. Just copy-paste and schedule.

The Simple Truth
You don't need more hours in the day.
You need a system that works while you sleep.
AI is that system. Start with one prompt. Use it this week. See what 5 extra hours feels like.
Then build the next one.
Your move.
