🧠 Prompt Like a Pro: 7 Simple Hacks to Get Way Better Results from ChatGPT

 Ever typed something into ChatGPT and thought:

"This is… okay. But not great."

Here’s the secret: It’s not the AI—it’s the prompt.
The better your input, the better the output.

Let’s break down 7 simple but powerful hacks to level up your prompting game—even if you’re brand new to AI.

---

🔧 1. Be Specific, Not Vague

❌ Bad: “Write a blog post about saving money.”
✅ Good: “Write a 500-word blog post about saving money as a single parent in the UK with 3 kids, focused on groceries and energy bills.”

Why it works: The AI gets context. And better context = better answers.

🎯 2. Tell It Who to Be

❌ “Give me business tips.”
✅ “Act as a business coach for new Etsy sellers. Give me 5 tips to increase first-month sales.”

Hack: You can tell AI to act like an expert, teacher, editor, or even your audience.

📋 3. Use Structure Prompts

Ask for a list, table, checklist, or bullet points.

✅ “Give me a step-by-step checklist for creating an AI side hustle.”
✅ “Create a table comparing 3 AI video tools (price, features, ease of use).”

It makes your result cleaner and way easier to work with.

🕹️ 4. Give It a Role AND a Goal

Prompt formula:

"Act as a [role]. Your goal is to help me [do a thing]. Ask questions if needed."

Example:

“You’re a productivity coach. Help me create a morning routine using AI tools to save time.”

Boom—instant clarity + useful output.

✍️ 5. Add Writing Style or Tone

Want something to sound friendly? Or professional? Or Gen Z?

✅ “Write in a casual tone, like you’re explaining to a friend.”
✅ “Make it sound like a corporate manager giving advice.”

Bonus: Ask AI to rewrite it in a different tone if it’s off.

🔁 6. Refine With Follow-Ups

Don’t settle for the first answer. Say things like:

• “Make this shorter.”

• “Add stats or real-world examples.”

• “Explain this part more clearly for beginners.”

• “Make it more emotional/inspiring/professional.”

AI improves the more you talk to it—just like a real assistant.

🔄 7. Save & Reuse Winning Prompts

If a prompt works really well, save it!
Use it again, tweak it slightly, and build your own prompt bank.

You’ll go from guessing… to prompting like a pro.
