Educational Content template
How-To Social Media Guide
Create a step-by-step how-to guide with pro tips and common mistakes. 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 step-by-step how-to guide for [platform] about [topic]. Steps: [step_count]. For each step: a clear heading (action verb + result), a concise explanation (2-3 sentences), a common mistake to avoid, and a pro tip. Include: an intro paragraph explaining who this guide is for and what they will achieve, a "Prerequisites" note if applicable, and a "Next steps" section at the end. Keep the total under [word_count] words. Target skill level: [skill_level]. Tone: patient, clear, and [tone]. Use analogies for complex concepts.
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 educational content templates
- Teach one thing per post completely rather than five things vaguely — completeness is what earns the save.
- Steps beat concepts: "do X, then Y" outperforms "consider X" in every format.
- The myth-buster format works because it starts from what the audience already believes — pick myths people actually hold.
- End with the smallest possible first action; educational content converts when the next step is obvious.
