Do me a huge favor and stick around, because I promise the AI prompts I’m about to share with you are unlike anything you’ve seen before. Seriously, these prompts have saved me hundreds of hours of content creation time. ????
Now, I’m not talking about the same old “tell AI to pretend to be someone else” or “write in a conversational tone” tricks. Those are pretty ubiquitous, and I already covered them in my last article.
Instead, I’m going to show you three simple, yet insanely effective AI prompts that will level up your content while saving you a ton of time.
1. Capture the Essence
Let’s be real, trying to get AI to write in your unique style can be a major headache. I’ve wasted hours attempting to craft the perfect prompt to make AI sound like me. But I’ve found that providing a real example of your writing style is way more effective than any prompt wizardry.
Here’s how it works:
- Find a piece of content that embodies your voice and tone.
- Tell AI to write about your chosen topic in the style of that example piece.
Write a short Reddit post about "Why pineapple belongs to pizza" in the format of the following example, capturing the essence, tone, and style. Here is the example:
Boom! AI will capture the essence of your writing, and you’ll have content that actually sounds like you.
2. Code Snippets Technique
Next, let’s talk about utilizing code snippets. No, this isn’t about coding. We’re going to leverage the code snippets feature to quickly copy and paste content.
It’s a game-changer for streamlining your workflow.
Give me three relevant emojis for a YouTube Short titled "Gutenberg is better than Elementor page builder". Response in three separate code windows for each emoji so I can copy it quickly.
Makes adding those finishing touches a breeze!
3. Use the “In This Chat Window” Trick
Now, here’s a power tip: Use “In this chat window” to specify the response you want from AI without manually entering the prompt every single time.
For example:
In this chat window, I'm going to input an Instagram caption and your task is to respond with relevant hashtags for the caption in a code window so I can copy it quickly. Got it?
This saves you the trouble of constantly reiterating your prompt.
⚠️ Caveat
Sometimes, you might need to reinforce your prompt, especially if you’re using an AI with a limited token window. ???? The free version of GPT-4, for instance, has an 8,000-token limit, while Claude offers a more generous 24,000 tokens.
So there you have it, folks! Three insanely effective AI prompts that will save you time and elevate your content. Give them a try and let me know how they work out for you.
Until next time, happy creating! ????
