AI as a Collaborator

Don't treat ChatGPT like a 'vending machine' where you simply insert a prompt and accept the result. Treat AI as a collaborative partner that can take feedback and make iterative improvements.

The 'Divide and Conquer' Strategy

Instead of asking the AI to rewrite the entire text, focus on one small section at a time (such as the intro first, then the body) to achieve much higher quality.
Prompts

Improving the Hook (Opening)

Target: ChatGPT
This is good, but the hook feels weak. Rewrite just the first 30 seconds to be more attention-grabbing. Use a question or a bold statement to pull people in immediately.

Condensing the Content

Target: ChatGPT
Better. Now make the middle section more concise. Cut any fluff and get to the point faster. I want this to feel tight and engaging, not like I'm rambling.

Strengthening the Call to Action

Target: ChatGPT
Perfect. Now add a stronger call to action at the end. Make it clear what the viewer should do next.
Step by Step

Iterative Techniques for Quality Output

  1. Enter your original prompt into the ChatGPT message box to generate a first draft.
  2. Review the output and identify specific sections that need improvement (e.g., intro, body content, or conclusion).
  3. Type an instruction to refine only the 'Hook' or opening section to make it more engaging and attention-grabbing.
  4. Review the rewritten version, then provide instructions to condense the middle section.
  5. Ask ChatGPT to remove 'fluff' or redundant information to keep the delivery concise and 'to the point'.
  6. Give a final instruction to add a stronger 'Call to Action' (CTA) at the end.
  7. Ensure the instruction clearly states the action the audience should take after reading or watching the content.
