Opinion/Thought Piece Blog Post
Write a well-argued opinion piece that challenges conventional thinking. 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 an opinion blog post arguing that [thesis]. Structure: Hook with a bold opening statement. Present the current conventional wisdom (and why it's flawed). Build your argument with 3 supporting points, each backed by evidence or logic. Address the strongest counterargument and refute it. Conclude with a call to action or a vision for the future. Tone: [tone] but respectful. Word count: [word_count]. Include your unique perspective from the [industry] industry.

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.
