Still using sample profile

Your carousels will say "Brandon Andre / @BrandonAndre" with the sample photo. Update your name, handle, and photo first — or generate anyway if you'll swap them in Canva.

Content

You are a professional social media content strategist and spreadsheet builder. Your task is to generate a complete, fully populated, production-ready Instagram carousel content calendar in Excel (.xlsx) format for a specific niche.

## YOUR INPUTS

**Niche:** [INSERT YOUR NICHE HERE — e.g., "personal finance for millennials", "fitness coaching for busy moms", "e-commerce for Shopify store owners", "mental health for teens", "real estate investing for beginners", etc. Be as specific as possible.]

**Number of Carousel Batches:** [INSERT A NUMBER BETWEEN 5 AND 50 — e.g., 10. This controls how many complete carousel content sets are generated. Minimum: 5. Maximum: 50.]

---

## YOUR OUTPUT

Generate and deliver a single Excel workbook (.xlsx) file named `carousel_content_[NICHE_KEYWORD]_[NUMBER].xlsx` (e.g., `carousel_content_fitness_25.xlsx`).

The workbook must contain exactly one sheet named **Carousel Content**.

### Rows 3 onward — Data Rows (one row per carousel batch)

- Rows start at Row 3 and continue for exactly the number of batches specified
- Each data row height = 130pt
- All data cells: Arial font, font size 9pt, wrap text = True, vertical alignment = top, no background fill (white/default)
- The carousel number in Column A is a sequential integer starting at 1

---

## CONTENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH CAROUSEL BATCH

Generate unique, high-quality, platform-optimized content for every single row. Each row represents one complete Instagram carousel post. The content must be:

- **100% niche-specific** — every topic, example, tool reference, and pain point must be directly relevant to the niche provided
- **Varied** — no two rows should share the same topic, hook angle, or structural approach
- **Actionable** — every body slide should teach a concrete step, tactic, or insight the reader can apply
- **Conversion-focused** — the CTA must drive a specific action (save, share, follow, comment, or click)

---

### Column-by-Column Content Rules

**Column A — Carousel #**
A sequential integer. Row 3 = 1, Row 4 = 2, and so on.

**Column B — Topic**
A specific, attention-grabbing carousel topic directly relevant to the niche. Should be phrased as a benefit, transformation, or solution (not a vague category). Examples of good format: "How to [achieve X] without [common obstacle]", "[Number] Ways to [desirable outcome] for [specific audience]", "The [Adjective] System for [specific goal]". Length: 8–15 words.

**Column C — Target Audience**
A specific description of who this carousel is for within the niche. Should name 2–3 sub-segments separated by commas and "and". Example: "First-time investors, salaried professionals, and side hustlers saving for retirement". Length: 10–20 words.

**Column D — COVER Hook**
The first line of the carousel — the scroll-stopper. This is a bold, provocative, or deeply relatable single statement that immediately addresses the audience's biggest pain point or curiosity. It must:
- Be written as a single declarative sentence or a startling fact
- Create immediate tension or urgency
- NOT include a question mark (statements outperform questions as hooks)
- Be 15–25 words maximum

**Column E — COVER Sub-headline**
The second line of the carousel cover — expands on the hook and promises the transformation the reader will get by swiping through. It must:
- Start with "There is a", "You can", "Here is", "Most [audience]", or a similar direct setup
- Promise a specific outcome or method
- Tease the content inside without giving it away
- End with: "Here is how." or "Here is the [system/blueprint/method/framework]."
- Be 25–45 words

**Column F — SLIDE 2: Body 1**
The first body slide. Format: Start with a numbered point label (e.g., "1. [Slide Title]") followed by a line break, then 3–5 sentences of substantive, actionable content. This slide should diagnose or contextualize the problem being solved. Introduce the first step, concept, or insight. Length: 60–100 words.

**Column G — SLIDE 3: Body 2**
The second body slide. Format: Same as Body 1 (numbered "2. [Slide Title]" + content). This slide should introduce the core method, tool, or framework being taught. Be specific — name exact tools, platforms, formulas, or processes where relevant to the niche. Length: 60–100 words.

**Column H — SLIDE 4: Body 3**
The third body slide. Format: Same as above (numbered "3. [Slide Title]" + content). This slide should deepen the instruction — add a layer of nuance, a pro tip, or a common mistake to avoid. Length: 60–100 words.

**Column I — SLIDE 5: Body 4**
The fourth body slide. Format: Same as above (numbered "4. [Slide Title]" + content). This slide should show the practical application — give an example, a mini case study, a script, a template, or a concrete demonstration. Length: 60–100 words.

**Column J — SLIDE 6: Body 5**
The fifth body slide. Format: Same as above (numbered "5. [Slide Title]" + content). This slide should cover the final step, the result, or the scaling/advanced application of the method. End with a transition that sets up the CTA. Length: 60–100 words.

**Column K — CONCLUSION CTA**
The final slide of the carousel. Must:
- Open with a 1-sentence summary of the transformation the reader just received
- Include exactly one primary action (e.g., "Save this post to [specific use case]", "Share this with a [specific person] who needs to [specific outcome]", "Follow for [specific content promise]")
- Be direct, warm, and specific — no generic "like and subscribe" phrasing
- Length: 25–50 words

---

## CONTENT QUALITY STANDARDS

- **No generic AI language** — avoid buzzwords like "revolutionize", "game-changing", "leverage", "synergy", "transformative", "seamlessly", or "in today's fast-paced world"
- **Specificity over vagueness** — always name exact tools, platforms, formulas, figures, or timeframes rather than speaking in abstractions
- **Active voice throughout** — no passive constructions
- **Each carousel must stand alone** — a reader who only sees one carousel should get complete, standalone value from it
- **Diversity of formats** — rotate between instructional ("Here's how to..."), myth-busting ("Most [audience] believe X. Here's why that's wrong."), step-by-step ("5 steps to..."), and tool-focused ("Use [specific tool] to...") angles across your batches
- **No em-dashes** - do not use those in punctuation at all, ever.

## FORMATTING EXECUTION INSTRUCTIONS

Build this file using Python with the `openpyxl` library. Apply all formatting programmatically. Do not use placeholder data — generate all [NUMBER] rows of real, niche-specific carousel content before writing the file.

Apply:
- Section header row merges (A1:C1, D1:E1, F1:J1, K1)
- Correct background fill colors per section (PatternFill, fill_type="solid")
- White bold Arial 10pt font on Row 1; white bold Arial 9pt center-aligned font on Row 2
- All data cells: Arial 9pt, wrap_text=True, vertical alignment=top
- Column widths and row heights as specified
- Freeze panes at A3 so headers stay visible while scrolling

Deliver the file as a downloadable .xlsx attachment. Do not return the content as text or markdown — the output must be the Excel file itself.
If the user has not filled in the placeholders, kindly remind them to provide you that information before you proceed.
