How to write AI prompts to create amazing content and examples
Many creators have shared about how artificial intelligence has sped up their content creation and increasing output. Some are touting many hours of time saved like Hero Douglas Boyce III, declaring that this is the final word on writing block for good once and all. You're sold.
When you turn on your machine that generates content, tell it to "write a blog on how to find mushrooms" then the computer gets to work. Within a few seconds it will produce what it believes to be the perfect article--but it's far from being perfect. It's missing important information, the tone of voice is all wrong and the article is only 500 words when you wanted 1,000. The text could have been written better on your own. One click and you can close the tab and delete artificial intelligence forever.
It's very easy to be dissatisfied by content creators in the event that their outputs don't meet the mark.
While we'd love to blame the low-quality content on the AI , the actual issue could be with your fault (hi you, I'm the culprit. You're the culprit.). In particular, it's the prompt you're feeding the AI tool to create the desired result, or in other words, the command you provide the AI model to generate its output.
The fact of the matter is that the responses of a content generator are as accurate as the task you've asked it to answer. We'll show you how to write the perfect AI prompt, complete with formulas and examples to use right now!
How do you write efficient AI prompts
Here are best practices to remember whenever you work with an artificial intelligence program that demands an immediate prompt, like a spoiler alert. Most do.
Identify the purpose or the goals.
Before writing an AI question, you must clarify the purpose you're creating and why you're writing the prompt.
Think about: What purpose is your goal through the content? Who should the audience you are targeting be able to know following the reading? Do you wish them to take a certain action like clicking a link or making purchases?
Specific, clear directions.
It is normal to expect that giving vague or unclear prompts may result in an unbalanced response.
As an example, "Explain the meaning of life." isn't likely to generate as useful of a response as "Explain some popular philosophical perspectives on the meaning of existence."
In order to ensure that you're giving clear directions for the AI tool, you must first think about what's my desired outcome?
If you've got that question clear, write down the job to be accomplished. This includes specifying that the reply should be specific in length or format (bullet list, 280 characters, etc. ) as well as the action you would like for your readers to perform or do, as well as the tone and manner you want to the AI to compose the text in.
Pro-Tip: The longer and more precise the query or job, the better the output!
Ask open-ended questions.
The practice of asking "yes or no" questions can result in more sloppy responses than open-ended questions.
For example, instead of asking "Is coffee bad for you?" (impossible) try asking "What are the top positives and negatives that coffee consumption brings?".
Asking open-ended questions gives the freedom and space for the program to respond with as much depth as it would like.
Verify your spelling and grammar.
Just like with a human mistakes in spelling or grammar mistakes can confuse artificial intelligence.
Therefore, you must always read your prompt to ensure your spelling and grammar are in order and that the text is easy to understand. It should come as a no-brainer, but do not use abbreviations, slang or abbreviations.
Include the context.
No matter how advanced AI tools are capable of understanding, they won't be able to comprehend the context of your query unless you define the request.
For them to understand the topic, provide some background and contextual information related to your topic and the purpose of your output.
As an example, what is your AI content writer acting in the role of? What is the intended viewers for the content? Include answers to these questions in the prompt.

The perfect AI prompt formula
We've developed the ideal AI prompt formula that works for the majority of creators of content! Bookmark this page to keep this formula in your arsenal.
"Act like" + "write an" + "define an goal" + "define your best style"
Here's an example: Act like a type of expert who is writing copy for a specific use to achieve the desired outcome.
Here's an example of this formula that has the blank spaces filled in.
Prompt Example: Act like a digital marketer and copywriter who is writing content for 3 video headlines with descriptions based on my video transcript to reach teaching my audience about how to forage for mushrooms. [Insert video transcript]
You can make the prompt even more specific by including specifics about the formatting (how many words, phrases, etc.) or sentences, etc. ) along with tone and the style.
Great examples of prompts for using AI software
The only thing you need to include the subject matter of your course or the overall concept of your course. There are the best ways to structure short prompts. Let's review!
