💬 “Explain this like I’m a high school student.”
💬 “What does this contract clause mean in plain terms?”

How to Talk to ChatGPT
What Is Prompting?
Prompting is how you tell ChatGPT what you want. It’s more than just typing a question — it’s the art of giving clear, helpful instructions.
Think of it like giving directions to a very smart assistant. The better your instructions, the better your results.
The Anatomy of a Great Prompt
To get powerful results, build your prompts with these elements: Goal + Context + Tone + Format
Goal: What do you want?
“Summarize this article.”
Context: Give background or purpose
“It’s for my team’s weekly newsletter.”
Tone: Control the voice
“Make it conversational and upbeat.”
Format: Specify how you want it
“List 3 main takeaways in bullet points.”
Common Prompting Mistakes
❌ Mistake Too vague: “Help me.”
✅ Fix Be specific: “Help me write a thank-you note for a recent interview.”
❌ Mistake No format: “Write an email.”
✅ Fix Add structure: “Write a 3-sentence email with a friendly tone.”
❌ Mistake No context: “Explain this.”
✅ Fix Add purpose: “Explain this to someone new to digital marketing.”
Power Prompting
Set a role: “You are a detail-oriented writing coach. Rewrite this draft with better flow and clarity.”
Break it into steps: “Let’s outline the blog post first. Then I’ll ask you to write the introduction.”
Chain prompts together: “Based on that response, now turn it into a LinkedIn post.”
Give examples in your prompt: “Make this sound like the tone in this sentence: ‘Let’s level up your workflow, one shortcut at a time.’”
Pro tip: If the first response isn’t quite right, refine your request. ChatGPT improves with back-and-forth — it’s built for iteration.
