📌 Mini-series: Prompt Mistakes
🎯 Episode 4 — No Context or Constraints


❌ Example of a bad prompt:

Write a post about working with clients.


💥 What’s wrong with it?

  • Who’s the target audience? Freelancers? Business owners? Beginners?
  • What’s the format? A tip? A story? A guide?
  • No length restriction → AI might write 500 words of fluff

✅ How to fix it?

Write a short post (up to 150 words) for beginner freelancers
about how not to be afraid of their first client.
Use a mini-story format + 2 practical tips.
Tone: supportive, slightly informal.


📌 What changed?

✔ Clear target audience
✔ Defined format and length
✔ Added tone and intent — support over theory


💡 Takeaway:

AI isn’t a mind reader.
If you want sharp results — give it context, boundaries, and purpose.
The more specific you are, the better the outcome.
