Prompt

You're an expert writer planning a comprehensive article on [TOPIC]. Create a detailed outline for this long-form blog post, targeted at [TARGET AUDIENCE]. The outline should include a clear structure with main sections and subsections, covering all key points necessary to thoroughly explain [TOPIC]. Start with an engaging introduction that highlights the purpose of the article, then list each section with a descriptive heading and bullet points or sub-points of what to cover. Conclude the outline with a wrap-up section that reinforces the article's main insights.

How to Use

1. Define Your Inputs: Determine the key information to include in the prompt:
   • The specific topic of your article or a working title (e.g. "The Benefits of Remote Work for Productivity").
   • A description of your target audience (e.g. "team managers looking to implement remote work policies").
   • Any particular angle or key points you want the article to cover (optional, but helpful if you have them).

2. Customize the Prompt: Fill in the [TOPIC] placeholder with your article's subject and [TARGET AUDIENCE] with who will be reading the piece. If you have a certain perspective or points that must be included, mention them in the prompt (for example, "include sections on [specific subtopic]"). You can also adjust the tone by adding an adjective like "engaging", "technical", or "beginner-friendly" to guide the style of the outline.

3. Optional Add-ons: If needed, specify any additional instructions. For example, you could request the outline to follow SEO best practices (like including keywords in section headings) or to incorporate case studies and examples in the sub-points. Another add-on could be setting a desired length for the article so the outline accounts for a certain depth (e.g. aiming for a 2,000-word piece).

4. Run the Prompt: Submit the completed prompt to the AI. It will generate a structured outline with an introduction, main sections, sub-points, and a conclusion based on your inputs.

5. Review & Select: Examine the resulting outline. Ensure the structure flows logically and that all important aspects of your topic are covered. You might want to tweak section order or titles to better fit your vision. If something is missing or not relevant, you can refine the prompt or ask the AI for adjustments. Once satisfied, you have a roadmap to write the full article.

6. Expected Outcome: You'll have a clear and detailed outline for your in-depth article. It provides a blueprint with an intro, organized sections and sub-sections, as well as a conclusion — all tailored to effectively cover your topic for your intended audience.
