Prompts

When people talk about AI prompts, they're just talking about the special instructions we give to AI to help it understand what we want it to do - whether writing a story, solving a math problem, or drawing a picture.

How specific they are affects the quality of the response.

Here are three different prompts for the same task, ranging from ineffective to excellent:

BAD PROMPT: "Make a marketing plan for a fitness company." (This prompt is terrible because it's vague, provides no details, and gives the AI no context or parameters to work with)

BRILLIANT PROMPT: "As a fitness industry performance marketing expert, create a digital campaign for a ’Transform 2025' New Year promotion (Jan - Feb 2025)

Core Details:

  • Target: Resolution-makers aged 25-45, fitness beginners, busy professionals
  • ⁠Offer: £49.99 for 6 months (60% off regular price)
  • ⁠Features: AI-powered platform, live classes, personalized workouts, nutrition tracking
  • Budget: £10,000
  • ⁠Goal: Acquire 2000 new paying subscribers

Required Strategy Elements:

  • Multi-channel promotion (Meta, Google, TikTok, email)
  • ⁠Pre-launch waitlist building
  • ⁠Influencer partnerships
  • ⁠First 30-day retention plan
  • ⁠A/B testing strategy
  • ⁠Content focus: transformation stories, resolution pain points, gym anxiety
  • CAC targets and conversion rate goals
  • ⁠Channel performance metrics and KPIs3

😲 Is that detailed enough for you?"

👉 This matters because as costs reduce; more business opportunities arise; previously unattainable due to high cost or speed

⭐️ AI expects to create 11M jobs and displace 9M.

👉 While there is, rightly or not, widespread fear about jobs being replaced; there is equal amounts of optimism for new roles that we haven't thought about yet

⭐️ The US follows the UK in setting up an executive order on building AI infrastructure to boost growth.

Final thoughts

Before you start building, really nail down who the target user is.

This gives you a constant focus on the small decisions (level of notifications in an app) to the big decisions (does my target user predominantly use desktop or mobile)

With good vibes 👋
