📌 Mini-series: Prompt Mistakes
🎯 Episode 1 — Too General Instruction


❌ Example of a bad prompt:

Write a good post about sales.


💥 What’s wrong with it?

  • AI doesn’t understand the goal of the post
  • No info about audience, format, or tone
  • The result is a text that’s “okay” but not really usable

✅ How to fix it?

You are an expert in Instagram sales.
Write a post for beginner entrepreneurs on how to build trust before selling.
Format: personal story + practical tips.
Tone: conversational, not too dry.
Add a question at the end to boost engagement.


📌 Now the AI understands:

✔ Its role
✔ The audience
✔ The topic
✔ The tone of voice
✔ The output format


💡 Takeaway:

The more general your prompt is, the more blurry the result will be.
Write prompts as if you’re giving a task to a real person.
