Prompting- · The AI Advantage

Prompting-

I see a lot of chatter in here about prompting- Let me tell you that ChatGPT knows what it needs to give you what you're looking for. What it cannot do is read your mind.

SO, the best thing you can do is give it a high level overview of what you'd like to accomplish, ask it to act as an expert in that field, and to write a prompt to deliver what you're looking for, asking you any clarifying questions as it goes along.

Then test the prompt, and give the results back to chat, asking it "What did we leave out on this prompt that caused this information to be missing, incorrect, or not fully developed. How could I have prompted you better to pull out that info?"

You'll eventually see the right formula that works for your business and you'll be prompting like a pro in no time. Just remember that ChatGPT is a "Yes man" and will always tell you your ideas are the best. Ask it to give you any pushback that might be beneficial to get the best results for what works and what doesn't work.

Here's a great example of this to help you remember-

🧠 P.R.O.M.P.T. — The Smart Way to Talk to AI

P — Purpose: Start with why you’re asking and who it’s for.

👉 “I’m creating content for messy-minded moms and mamaws who run small businesses and want to grow their income without burnout.”

R — Role: Assign the AI a persona or point of view.

👉 “Act as a friendly but knowledgeable marketing coach who understands ADHD entrepreneurs.”

O — Outcome: State what kind of information you need and what’s non-negotiable.

👉 “I need three social media post ideas that motivate them to stay consistent. Each should include a relatable example, a tip they can use today, and an encouraging tone—no guilt or perfection talk.”

M — Model: Give a sample or pattern to follow.

👉 “Use this example as a style guide: ‘Messy minds don’t fail—they just get distracted. Here’s how to reset and refocus today…’”

P — Parameters: Set rules for structure and style.

👉 “Keep each post under 100 words, write at a 7th-grade reading level, and format each idea as a short caption with line breaks and an emoji header.”

T — Tweak: Ask the AI to refine or iterate.

👉 “I don't want links in my social posts, that tanks reach. I DO want links in my emails, and here is the link I'd like you to embed. Be sure to add five relevant highly searched hashtags for my niche.”
