Write Prompts That Get Perfect Results Every Time

ChatGPT is only as good as the prompts you give it. Most people ask vague questions and get mediocre results. Learn the art of prompt engineering to unlock ChatGPT’s full potential.

The 4-Step Prompt Framework

Every effective prompt should follow this structure:
1. Role: Tell ChatGPT who to be (expert, teacher, critic)
2. Context: Provide background information
3. Task: Give specific instructions
4. Format: Specify how you want the output

Advanced Prompting Techniques

Use few-shot learning by providing examples of what you want. Include temperature settings in your prompts – lower for factual responses, higher for creative ones. Try chain-of-thought prompting by asking ChatGPT to think step-by-step.

Common Prompt Mistakes

Avoid vague requests like ‘help me write something good.’ Instead, be specific: ‘Write a 300-word blog post about AI trends for a tech audience, using an engaging tone with 3 actionable tips.’ Always specify your target audience and desired tone.

Pro Tip: Save your best prompts in a document and refine them over time. The more you use ChatGPT, the better your prompts will become.
