Mini-Guide: How to Write the Perfect Prompt

Discover the formula that transforms vague requests into precise, actionable prompts that align with your goals and brand.

1. Ideal Structure of a Prompt

Context

Describe the scenario or background in one sentence.

Objective

Specify the exact outcome or goal you want to achieve.

Audience & Tone

Define who will receive the response and the tone (e.g., formal, friendly, inspirational).

Format

Indicate the desired format (e.g., list, table, script, email).

Example

Context: I’m creating a lead magnet for tech entrepreneurs

Objective: Write a welcome email highlighting three key benefits

Audience & Tone: Friendly yet professional tone

Format: Two short paragraphs followed by bullet points

Asking multiple unrelated tasks in one prompt

Providing too little context or omitting your objective

Failing to define the audience or the tone

Leaving the output format unspecified

Turn your best prompts into templates with variables like {product}, {audience}, and {deadline}

Use automation tools (n8n, Make) to trigger prompts based on events or schedules

Maintain a central Prompt Library in Notion and link each entry to its use case and expected output

Regularly review and refine prompts based on performance and feedback
