How to use

1Before the prompt, specify your context: "Target audience: [e.g., junior designers]. Tone: [e.g., casual/professional]. Goal: [e.g., educate/persuade]."
2Replace [Topic/Title] with your specific topic. Be clear: Instead of "AI Design", write "How to Design AI Chat Interfaces for Mobile Apps"
3If you have reference posts: Paste URLs of similar blog posts you like and say "Create an outline similar to these but about [your topic]"
4Paste the modified prompt into your preferred AI tool, like ChatGPT or Claude
5Review the outline: Ask "Expand section 3 with more examples" or "Reorder sections for better flow" or "Add a section about [specific topic]"
6Use the outline as your writing roadmap: Copy each H2 section into separate documents and ask AI to expand them into full content

Pro Tips

• For SEO blogs: Include target keywords and monthly search volume in your context. Example: "Target keyword: AI design patterns (2.9k searches/month)"
• Ask for multiple outline versions: "Give me 3 different outline structures for this topic" then pick the best
• For listicles: Specify the number - "Create a 10-step guide" is better than just "guide"
• Save good outlines as templates: Next time, say "Use the same structure as [previous topic] but for [new topic]"
• If writing for a specific platform (Medium, Substack, LinkedIn): Mention it for platform-specific best practices
