How to Create Social Media Content from Everyday Objects (Using ChatGPT!)

What if your next week of social content was inspired by a coffee mug? Or a pair of scissors? Or your favorite candle?

This creative prompt is a game-changer for anyone who wants to make content that educates, engages, and genuinely connects—without overthinking or sounding like everyone else.

Whether you're a coach, healer, or creative entrepreneur, this is a beautiful way to generate meaningful posts that tie back to your work, without feeling forced or salesy.

Here’s the exact ChatGPT prompt to try:

The Everyday Object Content Prompt

List 8 common objects found in everyday life.

You are an expert [Insert Medium] content writer.

Here is what I want you to do:

Generate a piece of [Insert Medium] content for my business based on each object you provided in the last prompt. Each piece of content must be related to my [Program, Product, Service] and must be a Minimum of 150 words. My goal is to create engagement through education. I am not selling, and include a soft call to action to [Insert what you want the reader to do].

Next give me a prompt for an AI image generator for each word you used. The Image prompt must be in this format; [word or phrase we are prompting], [descriptive keyword 1], [descriptive keyword 2], [color scheme].

Why This Works

This prompt invites creativity while staying grounded in your message. By linking everyday items to your work, you:

• Make your content relatable

• Spark new ideas when you're stuck

• Avoid repeating the same themes over and over

• Offer fresh value without pushing a sale

It also takes the pressure off. You don’t have to come up with a new strategy every time. Just plug in your content type (Reel script, caption, newsletter snippet, blog post), your offer, and your soft CTA (like: "DM me if this resonates" or "Join my email list for more").

Tips for Using This Prompt

1. Repeat it every month with different objects.

2. Vary the format (use it for audio, video, or written content).

3. Use the image prompts to create stunning visuals in Canva or with a tool like Midjourney or DALL•E.

Want to make this even easier? Save the prompt in your notes app and revisit it anytime you need content in a pinch.

If you try this, I’d love to see what you come up with.
