Here are some helpful tips for creating prompts that produce excellent results.
For examples, check out our Prompt Library for 500+ helpful Jasper prompt ideas!
1. Keep It Simple
A good rule of thumb, is to ask yourself, “how would I ask an employee to write this?”
That is how you should write out your prompt. It can be tempting to be over technical and complicated, but more often than not, if you keep it simple, you will get great outputs from Jasper.
Bad Example: Generate 97 summary points about the global impact of the Atlantic Salmon market and then synthesize those thoughts into one sentence with the keyword oil and then create three bullet points about why salmon is the best fish to eat.
Good Example: Generate some persuasive bullet points about why Atlantic salmon is the best healthy dinner choice.
Then, continue prompting based on the output from the good example.
2. Be Creative
Prompts can be simple requests like I mentioned, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be creative. For instance, rather than just asking Jasper for a simple outline, you could tell Jasper to write a "detailed" outline about a topic. By including the word "detailed" it will completely change the way Jasper produces an outline for you.
You can also have Jasper create a list for you and include “why” those items are included in the list. Once again, simple, creative prompts can produce amazing results!
3. Change Variables
As you run different prompts, remember you can always tweak and change aspects of that prompt to get slightly different results. You can also include your keywords, audience, CTA, etc. in your prompt.
Every time you add or change a variable, you are guaranteed to get different results. Adjusting your input will help you quickly discover the output you are looking for.
