Break your writing into steps when using ChatGPT. First, get an outline with titles and subheadlines. Then prompt each section separately using frameworks or examples. Finally, combine them and harmonize the tone. This workflow gives you better control over the final result.
A lot of writers come to me complaining that ChatGPT just doesn't cut it for their work. First, I had a hard time helping them until I saw the common thread. Most of them are missing the secret sauce. So here it is. Because Most newcomers to ChatGPT, they always try to produce their dream output in a single complicated and long winded prompt. So what is the secret sauce? You need to go step by step. Let's use a blog as an example. So you first start with a clear topic and you request a comprehensive outline from ChatGPT. This includes titles, sub headlines and all the other things you might want to have in there, resulting in a skeleton that you can now start with. And for each segment you're going to run a separate prompt. And this allows us to use certain writing frameworks or providing examples. All of a sudden you're actually in control in what happens inside of your blog post. But we need one more step. You need to combine all these pieces and you can let ChatGPT harmonize the paragraphs for custom style or tone the difference in results. It's a game changer. And the best part is you just have to figure this out once and then you can copy paste it. So keep this in mind the next time you struggle with ChatGPT outputs.
