# Use viral post as template

This process combines the **topic you want to write about** and an **already proven viral post**.

Blotato creates a post about your topic, following the same format and structure as the viral post.

This is my **favorite** way to write text-based short-to-medium length posts for Linkedin and Twitter!

Pretty much ALL Linkedin/Twitter courses tell you to follow this process... but manually :thumbsdown:

With Blotato, it's streamlined and simple!

## Step 1. Add source

As usual, add data sources you want to remix.

***

## Step 2. Find viral social media post from Linkedin or Twitter

Check out viral posts of content creators in your niche.

On Linkedin, Justin Welsh is a popular creator, so let's use one of his proven viral [posts](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/justinwelsh_most-people-network-like-amateurs-fix-activity-7254820950074957825-TWZW):

If you're not sure how to find viral social media posts, check out the free Chrome extension, [Kleo](https://kleo.so/), for Linkedin. It shows you viral posts and you can see all top posts from any Linkedin creator.

## Step 3. Use prebuilt prompt

Go to your Blotato main screen: <https://my.blotato.com/remix>

Add your source(s), select platform(s), and click "Generate Post". This will generate draft posts.

Then, click "Prompts" on the bottom right corner.

Select the prompt called **"Template From Existing Post"**.

### Step 4. Paste viral post into prompt

Next, you'll use the viral post as a structural template for your new post.

Copy and paste Justin Welsh's viral post into the prompt where it says:

**"\[INSERT EXAMPLE POST HERE]"**

<div data-full-width="false"><figure><img src="/files/PWoj5wwKiPkkP5hNY2dY" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

### Step 5. Generate post

Finally, click "Generate" to create your post!

This will map the information from your data sources into a new post, following the same template and structure as the viral post.

You can click "Regenerate" to let AI make another variation.
