Blog & Long-Form template
Controversial Take Blog Post
Argue a contrarian position with evidence while respecting opposing views. This is the exact template that ships in Nimply’s AI Content Studio — the full prompt is below, with every fill-in variable highlighted.
The full prompt
Write a thought-provoking blog post arguing: [controversial_take]. Structure: Open with the conventional wisdom (what most people believe). Present your contrarian thesis clearly. Build your case with [point_count] supporting arguments, each backed by logic, evidence, or real-world examples. Acknowledge and address the strongest counterarguments honestly. Close with a nuanced conclusion that respects disagreement while reinforcing your position. Tone: [tone] but intellectually honest. Word count: [word_count]. Be bold, not reckless.
Copy it anywhere, or open it in Nimply where each highlighted variable becomes a form field and the output lands as a draft in your planner.

Craft notes
Getting the most from blog & long-form templates
- Outline first, always — the outline templates exist so the prose templates have bones to hang flesh on.
- The intro’s only job is earning the second paragraph. The intro templates are deliberately short.
- Specificity is the anti-slop: fill the variables with real numbers, named tools, and actual examples from your work.
- Every long-form piece should end knowing what the reader does next — the templates bake the CTA slot in.
