How do I write a good prompt?

Say what's on screen, who it's for, the format you want and the limits.

1 min read · Updated Sep 14, 2026

Whenever you ask the AI for something — hooks, a script, a better version — four things make the result better:

  1. What's on screen. "A wall of phones posting content" beats "a video".
  2. Who it's for. The audience decides the tone.
  3. The format. POV line, "How I…" flex, comparison, question.
  4. Hard limits. Length, words to avoid, no hashtags.

Example:

Write 10 on-screen hooks for a video of phones posting content.
Audience: people who want to grow many accounts without filming.
Mix POV lines and "How I…" flexes. Max 8 words. No hashtags.
