Outcome: a finished, SEO-friendly article built on an outline you approved first.

1. Choose one specific question or problem your audience is searching for.
2. Ask your AI assistant to identify the likely search intent behind the topic.
3. Request an article outline before asking it to write the full article.
4. Review the outline and remove unnecessary or repetitive sections.
5. Add your own experiences, examples, products, opinions, research, or expertise.
6. Ask AI to draft the article using the improved outline and your additional material.
7. Edit the finished article for accuracy, originality, tone, SEO, and usefulness before publishing.

Sample prompt: Help me create a genuinely useful article about: [TOPIC]. My audience is: [AUDIENCE]. Their main problem is: [PROBLEM]. First, determine the likely search intent. Then create an SEO-friendly article structure. The article should prioritize practical usefulness over keyword stuffing. Include: Strong introduction, Clear H2 and H3 sections, Practical examples, Action steps, Common mistakes, FAQ section, Natural conclusion and CTA. Do not write the full article until I approve the outline.

Pro tip: AI works much better as a collaborative writing assistant than as a one-click article machine. Give it your knowledge and examples before requesting the final draft.
