Prompts are everything.
Let’s be honest — most people are still using super basic requests at AI and expecting brilliance.
ChatGPT is brilliant, but it needs good questions. If you ask in the right way, you’ll get better answers.
Think of it like talking to a helpful coworker—one who can write, brainstorm, and even coach you.
But if your request is unclear, you might not get what you need.
Here are six ways to talk to ChatGPT that’ll seriously boost your results:
1. Say What You Want Clearly
Don’t say: “Make it better.”
Do say: “Revamp this using bold language, quick sentences, and a touch of emotion.”
If you ask in a general way, you’ll get a general answer.
The more details you give, the better the answer you’ll get.
Mention what you want to change — tone, length, style, emotion, etc.
2. Give It a Job
Don’t say: “Check my email.”
Do say: “Pretend you’re a CEO. Check this email for tone and impact.”
Ask ChatGPT to play a role. It can be a boss, teacher, coach, writer — whatever helps you.
Giving it a character completely changes the angle it comes from.
You’ll get responses that feel more aligned with your vision.
3. Use It Like a Helper, Not Just a Tool
Don’t say: “Write a blog post.”
Do say: “Check my idea. What’s missing? How can I make it stronger?”
ChatGPT can do more than just write. It can find weak spots.
It can help you think better. Treat it like a partner, not a machine.
Ask for more than words. Ask for perspective.
4. Add Some Limits
Don’t say: “Write something viral.”
Do say: “Make this easy to read. Use simple words, but make it feel thoughtful.”
You’ll get better results if you tell it how you want the answer to sound.
When you tell ChatGPT how you want something done — simple, punchy, elegant, playful — it tunes right in.
5. Ask for Choices
Don’t say: “Write a title.”
Do say: “Give me 5 titles. Make 2 bold, 2 useful, and 1 emotional.”
You’re not limited to one version.
Ask for a few. Mix up the tones, angles, and styles.
Then you can pick what works best — or mix ideas to make something even better.
6. Ask for Feedback, Not Just Answers
Don’t say: “Is this good?”
Do say: “Check this using writing tips. How can I make it better?”
Don’t just ask if it’s okay. Ask why. Ask for some suggestions.
Go beyond answers — ask for insights. You’ll learn more about what works and why.
Get ChatGPT to break things down, explain its logic, and highlight how to sharpen your message.
Final Tip
Good prompts = good replies.
So be clear. Be specific. Give direction. Ask for variety.
Treat ChatGPT like a teammate, not a robot.
Change how you ask, and watch your results get better with you.
