The possibilities for leveraging AI for business growth are virtually limitless.
But have you ever used AI tools like ChatGPT and felt like something was missing when the response didn’t quite hit the mark?
Often, we don’t realize the essential details we’ve left out of our prompts until the response doesn’t meet our expectations. But there’s a simple trick to significantly improve your results:
Instead of trying to guess everything you need to include in your prompt, you can instruct ChatGPT to ask you questions to identify the gaps.
How do you do that? Next time you’re writing a prompt for ChatGPT, add this line:
“Before you start, ask me clarifying questions that will help you effectively complete this task. ”
Why does this matter? It encourages ChatGPT to seek essential details, filling any gaps that might affect the quality of its responses.
Example:
Let’s say you want ChatGPT to write a blog post about the best SEO tools for WordPress. Here’s how you might craft your prompt:
“Write a blog post about the best SEO tools for WordPress. I want this blog post to drive traffic to my site. Before you start, ask me clarifying questions that will help you effectively complete this task.”
What happens next? ChatGPT might ask questions like:
1. Target Audience: Who is your primary audience for this blog post? Are they beginners, intermediate users, or SEO experts?
2. SEO Tools Preferences: Are there specific SEO tools for WordPress that you’ve already used and want to include, or any that you definitely don’t want to mention?
3. Keywords Focus: Are there specific keywords or phrases you want to target in this post?
4. Content Length and Depth: Do you have a preferred length for the blog post? How detailed should the explanations of the tools be?
5. Tone and Style: What tone and style do you prefer for the blog post? For example, do you want it to be formal, conversational, or somewhere in between?
6. Call to Action: What is the main call to action (CTA) you want to include in the post? Is it to drive traffic to your site, encourage sign-ups, or promote a specific service or product?
These questions help ensure that ChatGPT’s response is tailored specifically to your needs.So go ahead, give this method a try. You’ll be amazed at the difference it makes!
