I came up with a meme promp that has spit out a couple good posts for me so far so I thought I'd share. I just use chat gpt for this. Here's the prompt and a few example posts I posted on instagram for my google reviews business. Follow me on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/systomesh ===== ##Meme Post Prompt Use this to generate high-performing, sarcastic, meme-style posts for any niche or topic. ##Prompt: I want to create a blunt, meme-style Instagram post that uses a strong visual hook and sarcastic tone to expose a painful truth, dumb behavior, or outdated strategy in the [INSERT NICHE OR TOPIC] space. It should follow the same format and vibe as the example below — image and caption both must feel native to memes, punchy, and brutally honest. Avoid fluff, cutesy branding, or “educational” vibes. This is meme-first, insight-second. ##Use this reference post as your guide: Image: Blurry photo of Bigfoot walking in the woods Top Text: “Local Business Strategy: 1. Be amazing. 2. Pray people find you.” Caption: "Best-kept secret in town!" Translation: You're invisible online but really nice in person. Congrats? Look, being good at what you do is step one. But if nobody finds you, none of it matters. Meanwhile your competitor-yeah, the one you hate-is stacking reviews and stealing customers you should've had. Fix it. Start with your reviews. Then your Google profile. Then your site. Or don't. And keep hoping people randomly stumble across your number like it's 1997. 📲 Want the actual playbook? It's in my bio. (You're welcome.) ##Now create a brand new post in this format: - Meme-style image concept (describe the layout, what’s shown, and text). - A blunt caption (start with a strong hook, no soft intros, no fluff). - My audience is [INSERT NICHE OR TOPIC]. - Humor must land without needing context - Feel free to end with a short CTA like “link in bio” or “comment XXX for more info” - Provide a matching set of 5–10 viral hashtags for reach.

Rewind to October 2014. I got my first engineering job out of school. And I absolutely hated it. So I started looking for ways out in my free time. I worked in a car audio shop during college, so decided to give that a shot again. I started my own part time car audio business on the side. But I made it a mobile car audio business where I went to my customers. Nobody did it in my area. It was actually quite genius if I do say so myself. Anyway, I really only stopped doing it because I don't like doing the manual labor anymore. But it turned out to be a great side gig. And I got calls daily from customers looking to book installations. I didn't realize till after I quit and got further into entrepreneurship that I could've made this a real business. (I probably still can — but I closed it down a couple years ago and would be a slow start now. At least that's my excuse this time). But I didn't feel like hiring a team, renting a storefront/vans, etc. Seems like a real headache and tons of work - but maybe worth it now that I think about all the time and money I've spent doing this whole "marketing" thing as a side gig. And this "marketing agency" thing I started? Just another shiny object I chased that wasn't what it was cut out to be. (I now like to refer to myself as an ‘anti-agency’) But it did help me realize that I accidentally created a brilliant marketing strategy in my car audio business. Nothing new, but I realized the 3 main things that make up the 80/20 of "marketing" for small local businesses. Meaning the 20% of things to focus on that get you 80% of your customers. And the ONLY 3 things I had in place when I was getting daily calls from hot prospects looking to schedule installs. And I didn't even do the 3 things very good at all (I'll even prove it by showing you the website I had at the time if you want haha). For some reason, this took me a while to realize how many other small businesses these 3 simple tips could help. And when I realized this, I created what I call the "Local Visibility Trifecta". And also why I created this group.
