Reply To: **Official 1 Month Reports: Build a NEW Site with AI Challenge**

Hey all, here’s my month 1 progress report:

This is essentially the prompt I use in ChatGPT. I say essentially, because mine is customized to fit my site’s needs. The one below is a very general prompt that would work for almost any type of article. Of course, for certain use cases (like recipes or product reviews), the prompt should be more customized. I’m sharing the general one below because it’s more universally useful than the very specific prompt I use. Mine is extremely similar, though. Replace the words in [brackets] with the appropriate information. Use the GPT-4 model.

Prompt:

Instructions for article targeting the keyword “[your keyword]”:

Title should be simple and descriptive, and list the target keyword first.

Article body:

[Insert your outline]

Guidelines:

Please add a quick summary after the introduction section. Concisely summarize the important points from the article using bullet points. Label as “Quick summary”.

Use simple wording that is easy for anyone to understand, but always use proper terminology.

Be thorough.

Do NOT leave any section unwritten.

Use short paragraphs.

Use formatting like bold, italics, lists, and tables where possible.

Avoid fluff.

Avoid explicit section and heading labels like “V.”.

Optimize for NLP with the provided target phrase.

Format using markdown for CMS compatibility.

Maintain proper heading structure. The title should be H1. Main headings should be H2. Sub-headings should be H3.

If the article is too long to create in a single output, simply stop when necessary and await the user to prompt you to continue.

End Note:

Take a deep breath and ensure you grasp the format and guidelines. Do you require any clarifications before we proceed?

Once ChatGPT confirms that it understands the requirements and is ready to proceed, simply ask it to begin.

ChatGPT will pause at some point. When it does, simply ask it to continue.

NOTE:

If ChatGPT isn’t following one of your instructions, specify what it did wrong and ask it to try again.

For example: “Looking good, except that you forgot to ______. Please try again”.

If ChatGPT continues to forget your original instructions, the context window was likely exceeded. If that’s the issue, you will need to begin a new chat.

The context window basically means how far back ChatGPT can remember. For GPT-4, the context window is about 6,000 words (which includes both your instructions AND ChatGPT’s output). However, in my experience, ChatGPT begins to forget things even before it reaches 6,000 words.

Feel free to adjust the prompt as necessary. The real customization is within the outline. The rest of the prompt simply helps minimize the need for editing, and helps ChatGPT to follow best practices.
