Here's the template to use for an incremental prompt:
1. Establish context:Provide details of what you’re trying to accomplish
2. Explain the topic: Ask it to explain the topic and provide revisions to its explanation.
3.Specify the task: Identify exactly what you want from it.
4. Ask follow-up questions: Keep iterating to refine.
5. Use this overall cycle to learn how to develop more effective prompts.
Feed ChatGPT a few samples of your writing and ask it to create a style guide for future outputs.
Example prompt:
"Analyze the text below for style, voice, and tone. Using NLP, create a prompt to write a new article in the same style, voice, and tone: [insert your text or link to your writing]"
Generate content with a specific goal in mind, telling GPT who your audience is, and what you want to achieve with your content.
Example prompt:
"Topic: How to grow your email list
For audience: Social media users.
Content goal: Motivate the audience to feel excited about growing their email list while teaching them one tip."
Ask GPT to play the role of a customer or skilled expert, and generate content as if it were that specific persona.
Example prompt:
"Act as a data scientist and guide me in writing a report that highlights the latest trends and predictions in the field of artificial intelligence. Provide me with unique insights and expert advice that will help me deliver high-quality, informative content to my audience."
Try using prompts that are more open-ended or abstract to get unique and creative responses. You can unlock GPT's creative potential in finding vivid language and unexpected topics.
Example prompt:
"Write a poem about allergies to peanuts" or "Describe what it feels like to be an atom in 10 adjectives."
Instead of asking GPT to generate a list of potential topic ideas for your next project or ask for new angles to cover a familiar topic.
Example prompt:
"Topic: The 1960s student movements.
For the above topic, come up with new and innovative ideas that are out-of-the-box and unconventional."
