7 PROMPTING MISTAKES THAT ARE MAKING YOUR CHATGPT RESULTS USELESS… AND YES, YOU’RE PROBABLY GUILTY OF AT LEAST 6
1. You give vague prompts and expect precise answers
“Explain AI.” “Write a business plan.” “Teach me marketing.”
ChatGPT is powerful, not psychic.
Solution: Always add context, audience, purpose, tone, and format.
Try this: “Explain AI like I’m a beginner, using real-life examples, in a humorous tone, under 200 words.”
2. You ask one sentence… but want a miracle
The model gives you something basic because you gave something basic.
Solution: Use layered prompting:
Step 1: “Give me 5 ideas.”
Step 2: “Expand idea #3 in detail.”
Step 3: “Turn it into a viral post.”
This always produces gold.
3. You don’t tell ChatGPT who to act as
When you don’t assign a “role,” the response becomes generic.
Solution: Start with:
“Act as a professional copywriter…”
“Act as a therapist…”
“Act as a tech analyst…”
Instant transformation.
4. You forget to include examples of what you actually want
ChatGPT learns your style faster when you show it a sample.
Solution: Paste a previous post you like and say:
“Write in this exact structure, tone, and punch.”
5. You don’t give constraints — so the output becomes too long, too short, or too chaotic
AI needs boundaries.
Solution: Add limits like:
“Keep it under 300 words.”
“Use punchy sentences.”
“Give me only bullet points.”
You get cleaner, more powerful results.
6. You don’t ask it to improve what you already have
Most people start from scratch when they could upgrade.
Solution: Paste your draft and say:
“Rewrite this to be more viral, emotional, and engaging without losing the original meaning.”
The difference is insane.
7. You don’t iterate — you accept the first answer
The first response is never the best response.
Solution: Always push further:
“Make it more brutal.”
“Make it more relatable.”
“Add solutions.”
“Make it sound like a human wrote it.”
AI improves every single time you refine.
