FAQ posts are some of the easiest posts to write and some of the most useful to read. People search in questions, and an FAQ answers them in the words they actually type.
This prompt from my toolbox writes the whole post: 8 beginner questions, plain answers, in order from “what is this” to the stuff people ask once they’re hooked.
Write an FAQ blog post answering the 8 questions a beginner would actually ask about this topic.
Topic: buying and using PLR (private label rights) content
My reader: new content creators who keep seeing "PLR" in deals and aren't sure what it is or if it's legit
My voice: casual, direct, a little funny
For each question:
- Write it the way a real person would type it into Google
- Answer in 2-4 short sentences, plain English
- If the honest answer is "it depends," say what it depends on
Order the questions from most basic to most advanced. Don't make up stats, laws or company policies. If a question needs a fact you're not sure about, tell the reader to check the specific license or platform instead of guessing.
I ran it in Gemini on a topic close to home, buying and using PLR. The questions read exactly like Google searches, lowercase and all (“can i just copy and paste it onto my blog?”). And it nailed the tone. My favorite answer explained PLR like this:
“Think of it like buying a plain white t-shirt that you’re allowed to tie-dye and sell at your own shop.”

The Line You Should Not Touch!
“Don’t make up stats, laws or company policies.”
Leave that one alone. FAQ answers are exactly where AI likes to state a rule with total confidence, and readers trust an FAQ more than almost anything else on your site.
Full Disclosure
Even with that line in, it went hard on KDP: “Short answer: No,” plus a claim that people have been banned for publishing PLR there. Amazon does have rules about content that’s freely available elsewhere, so read KDP’s content guidelines yourself before you publish PLR there. That’s a “check the rules” answer, not a flat no.
It also made up a rule of thumb (“rewrite at least 30-50%”) and an example deal price. Read every answer that has a number in it, and swap in what you actually know. Need more post ideas after this one? The 30 blog post ideas prompt has you covered.
Need Something To Answer Questions About?
An FAQ works great as a companion to a product. That’s where my PLR shop comes in: done-for-you content you can put your name on and use as your own.
Go answer the questions your readers are already Googling. Then fact-check the confident ones.
