The art of AI prompting in search arbitrage and affiliate marketing is that more words aren’t necessarily better, but specific words make a huge difference in the output.
- 94% of web traffic is generated through organic results, so improving meta titles and descriptions to encourage click-through is important
- Using an anchor text word like ‘click here’ can improve the conversion rate by ten times (10x)
- Long-form landing pages have the potential to bring up to 220%+ more leads than short-form landing pages with an above-the-fold CTA
- Personalized calls-to-action have a 200%+ higher conversion rate than regular ones
How to get ultra specific, spot on responses from the latest AI tools rather than bland, generic outputs? The answer is training
AI Prompt Engineering Method #1: “I want you to act as…”
Example: I want you to act as a conversion rate optimization expert. I want you to act as a top tier media buyer. I want you to act as a top landing page expert.
Begin every prompt with “I want you to act as..”. It puts the entire prompt into context and prepares the stage for what follows.
The next part of the prompt should start with: “I will…” which lays out a relationship between you and the AI engine.
Example: I will give you a product and the target customer.
The next part of the prompt should be the request: “You will….”
This is where you lay out the expected output. Get as specific as necessary for an effective output.
Example: You will create a campaign to promote the product. You will choose the product’s slogan, channels for promotion, the key messaging, and the brand guidelines.
The last part is laying out the specific response.
Example: This my product, my target audience, and my target demographic
AI Prompt Engineering Method #2: Use ChatGPT or other generative AI tools to ask you questions for the best prompts
Example: Ask me a question to solidify a roofing contractor company that provides roof replacement services
Example: write a social media post to promote a weight loss brand
AI Prompt Engineering Method #3: Input market data and have it summarize the information for you
It can provide you with a consice and easy-to-understand summary of the information, and turn it into a video script, blog spot, caption etc.
AI Prompt Engineering Method #4: Few-Shot Learning
For the best results, provide examples for AI to reference and learn from.
Example: I want a catchy hook to use at the beginning of my reel similar to “the thing nobody’s talking about..” or “this simple tip will blow your mind!” Can you write one for a reel about how to remodel a bathroom in a single-family house?
