Easy Ways To Write Better ChatGPT Prompts
Writing great prompts for ChatGPT is like coding a powerful function the more precise your input, the smarter your output.
1. Customize Your Prompt Like You’re Giving a Role
One of the most effective ways to get accurate responses from ChatGPT is to assign it a role or persona.
- Instead of:
"Write an article about Python"
- Try:
"You are a professional technical writer with 10+ years of experience. Write a beginner-friendly article about getting started with Python."
Why this works: It sets expectations and gives context ChatGPT will write as the expert you describe.
2. Feed ChatGPT Specific Facts and Information
Treat ChatGPT like a smart assistant who needs your data to work with. If you're expecting a blog post, product description, or email, provide the facts up front.
Example:
Write a product description for this:
Product: "SmartDesk Pro"
Features: "Height adjustable, USB-C charging, dual-monitor support"
Audience: "Remote workers and tech professionals"
Tone: "Professional but friendly"
