50 AI Prompt Ideas You Should Try to Create Powerful Content

2023 is the year of AI. As AI advances, more businesses are interested in AI-powered solutions to improve their content and marketing efforts. But AI isn’t capable of reading your mind. So we have to be good at articulating the exact message we want to convey to properly inform the AI system about what it needs to do.

The prompt becomes the key that unlocks the flow of clear, concise and effective language that your AI writer will give you. When you know what questions to ask an AI system, generating the desired outcome is just a heartbeat away. Remember, your prompt has to be something that a machine can easily understand.

Rules for Generating Good Copy With AI

1. Be specific: Provide specific details in your message, including any relevant context or background information. Using words and phrases you often use will help the chatbot understand your vibe & provide a copy that sounds more like you than a machine.

2. Use simple language: Avoid using complex terminology to ensure that your message is easy to interpret.

3. Use complete sentences: Type in complete sentences rather than fragmented or abbreviated phrases.

4. Be a ruthless editor: Did you know that AI was based on how human copywriters write? Pick only the best and edit out the rest.
