Use ChatGPT to Create Instagram Reel Ideas

Coming up with Instagram video ideas used to leave me feeling like:

• There are better things I should be doing.

• I can't do this. I'm not creative enough.

I'm sure you've felt the same way with your short term rental Instagram.

In this article, I'm going to share how we can use AiSolopreneurs genius Twitter Content Matrixifier to help us generate Instagram Reel ideas with ChatGPT.

This is the Reel real deal. Get it?

Ok fine. Let's dive in.

Why Use ChatGPT to Generate Content Ideas?

There are 3 reasons I think hosts back off from posting video on Instagram.

• No ideas.

• Getting the right shot is too hard.

• They don't see how social media generates bookings.

This article will solve two of those pain points.

When I read AiSolopreneurs article on creating this GPT prompt I was:

But I had one issue. His prompt was for Twitter content. Us short term rental-ers mainly do Instagram.

So a couple months ago, I adjusted the prompt to give me photo ideas for Instagram.

That worked until I realized I don't really do much photo.

Ahhhh nutcrackers.

So this week I cracked open a moderately caffeinated drink (I'm trying to cut back) and got to work adjusting my old prompt.

Background on the Content Matrixifier

Justin Welsh is a famous social media writer who created the Content Matrix System.

The Content Matrix System is the process of taking:

• One topic.

• Matching it to 8 different ways of sharing the topic (content types).

• To create 8 different posts.

Then, AiSolopreneur figured out how to outsource the topic ideation process to ChatGPT.

I then, took the prompt and adjusted it to help me create ideas for visual platforms like Instagram.

aaaaand now you're caught up.

How to Use ChatGPT to Generate Video Ideas For Instagram

Use this prompt to go from 0 to 25+ video ideas. Fill in the blanks to match your unique situation:

I'm trying to create Instagram reels for my vacation rental property to post on Instagram. My property is for mountain bikers looking for a comfortable place to stay during their weekend outdoors. The property has two cabins, a communal bonfire and outdoor grills.

To generate ideas, I want you to imagine a “content matrix” table. In this table, the X axis contains the main idea of the video, meaning the main message I want to share. The Y axis is different visuals and shots to capture and create to be matched with the X asis.

The X axis has these content types, formatted like this:

[NAME] (explanation on how to use it)

[Tour] (Ultra-specific description on what shots to take around the property and inside the home)

[Walk Through] (Different ways to show the interior of the property. Include little details to peak interest)

[Surrounding Area] (Describe different pieces of content I could capture in the outside ambiance of my property)

[The Stay] (How to set up content that shows the guests what life could be like if they book a place with me)

[My Story] (a list of personal topics I could talk about as the owner about my property.)

Now, I want you to write out this table and write out a content idea at the intersections of the X and Y axises. You match each topic with a content idea.

For example a content idea matching the topic "Tour" with the content type "Take a video of yourself pointing out unique features on the property”

Information you need to fill out:

The first paragraph of the prompt: I'm trying to create Instagram reels for my vacation rental property to post on Instagram. My property is for {DescribeWhoYourPropertyIsFor}. The property has {UniqueThing1}, {UniqueThing2} and {UniqueThing3}.

This was the output I got from ChatGPT:
