Master the Art of Prompting: The P.R.O.M.P.T. Formula That Transforms How You Use ChatGPT

If you’ve ever opened ChatGPT, typed in a question, and found yourself staring at a wall of bland, robotic text that didn’t even come close to what you needed—you’re not alone.

Most people approach AI tools with curiosity, excitement… and absolutely no structure. And the result? Frustration. Wasted time. Content that doesn’t reflect who you are or what you’re trying to create.

But what if there were a better way?

A system—a simple, repeatable framework—that allows you to get high-quality, human-sounding output from ChatGPT every time you sit down to write a prompt.

That’s why I developed the P.R.O.M.P.T. Formula.

This isn’t some abstract productivity hack or trendy acronym with no real application. This is a step-by-step method designed from the ground up for real-world use—whether you’re creating content, running a business, building a personal brand, or just trying to save time and sound more like yourself online.

Because here’s the truth most AI “experts” won’t tell you:

ChatGPT is only as powerful as the clarity of the prompt you give it.

And for the average person—not a coder, not a marketer, not a prompt engineer—that clarity has been missing.

Until now.

Why Most Prompts Fail (And What You’ve Been Missing)

When AI first hit the mainstream, the buzz was everywhere. Write blog posts in seconds! Generate email campaigns instantly! Build a brand with a click!

But the results? Not so much.

What people quickly discovered was that vague in = vague out. If you feed the machine confusion, it gives you confusion right back. That’s because tools like ChatGPT are not mind-readers. They follow structure. They respond to direction. And if you don’t give them any? You’re left with a mess of generic suggestions that sound like they were copied and pasted from the bottom of the internet.

The problem isn’t the technology.

The problem is the lack of a system—a way to speak to the AI that aligns with your voice, your audience, and your goals.

That’s where the P.R.O.M.P.T. Formula comes in.

The Turning Point: Why I Created the P.R.O.M.P.T. Formula

As a coach, content creator, real estate leader, and business builder, I wear a lot of hats—and I needed a tool that could keep up. I wanted something that could help me ideate, script, and streamline… but still sound like me.

I tried prompt templates. I tried plug-and-play lists. I even tried outsourcing to AI “specialists.”

But none of it worked consistently. Everything was either too vague or too complicated. That’s when I realized what was missing wasn’t the tech—it was the framework.

I started studying how great prompts were built. I ran hundreds of variations through ChatGPT and paid attention to what worked, what flopped, and what sparked real, usable output. What I discovered was that when a prompt included six key elements, the response quality skyrocketed.

It wasn’t magic. It was clarity.

That was the birth of the P.R.O.M.P.T. Formula—a simple, memorable structure that finally gives creators and professionals the ability to speak to ChatGPT with purpose and precision.

And once you learn it, you won’t want to prompt without it.

What Makes P.R.O.M.P.T. Different

You’ve probably seen a hundred one-line prompt suggestions floating around the internet.
“Write me a video script.”
“Give me 10 content ideas.”
“Summarize this email.”

And those prompts technically work. They’ll return something.

But they won’t return something great.

They won’t sound like you. They won’t resonate with your audience. They won’t reflect your brand, your intention, or your expertise.

That’s what makes P.R.O.M.P.T. different.

It’s not a one-size-fits-all command. It’s a structure that scales to whatever you’re working on—from a YouTube title to a full article, from a listing description to a course outline. It helps you unlock the real power of AI: content that’s strategic, authentic, and actually saves you time.

Even better? It puts you in control. No more rolling the dice and hoping ChatGPT gets it right. You’ll be leading the conversation—not reacting to it.

Who Is P.R.O.M.P.T. For?

If you’re a:

• Real estate agent who wants better property marketing without sounding like a template,
• YouTube creator who wants scripts that match your voice and format,
• Business owner who needs content support but doesn’t want to outsource their brand,
• Coach, teacher, or speaker building out training materials or email funnels…

This formula is for you.

It was built for people who want to move fast, but still care about quality.
People who need content that reflects their experience.
People who don’t have time to mess with AI settings or syntax tricks.

If that’s you, you’re in the right place.

What to Expect in This Series

In this article, I’m going to break down the full P.R.O.M.P.T. Formula step-by-step so you can start using it right away in your own business, creative process, or content workflow.

You’ll learn how to:

• Clearly define your task and get output that’s actually usable
• Add just enough context without overwhelming the system
• Guide the AI with the right kind of structure and tone
• Replicate your voice and style consistently
• Format the response so it’s ready to go—no heavy editing required

By the time you finish reading, you’ll not only know what the six parts of P.R.O.M.P.T. stand for—you’ll understand why each one matters, and how it transforms your interaction with ChatGPT from random guessing into repeatable strategy.

No fluff. No filler. Just a system that works.

An Example of the PROMPT System in Action for REALTORS

Let’s say you’ve just listed a beautiful pool home in a 55+ golf course community, and you want to create a video script to market it online.

Not just a bland, feature-dump—but a story that sells the lifestyle.

Watch how we use the P.R.O.M.P.T. Formula to get ChatGPT to help you do exactly that.

✅ P – Purpose

First, let’s be clear about what we want:
“Write a 2-minute YouTube video script to market a pool home listing.”

---

✅ R – Real-World Context

Add the background that makes this specific:
“The home is in a 55+ golf course community in The Villages, Florida. It has a private screened pool, backs up to the fairway, and is designed for relaxed, active living.”

---

✅ O – Observe Example

Give ChatGPT a format to follow:
“Follow this structure: open with a lifestyle hook → highlight key features → describe the community → end with a strong call to action.”

---

✅ M – Model the Voice

Tell it who to sound like:
“Speak like a seasoned, trustworthy agent who’s helped hundreds of buyers transition into retirement living.”

---

✅ P – Pick the Format

Layout matters. You’ll say:
“Write in short, natural-sounding paragraphs I can read on camera.”

---

✅ T – Tone It Up

Finally, set the vibe:
“Keep the tone warm, aspirational, and reassuring.”

---

Now let’s look at the full prompt together:

🧠 Full Prompt Using P.R.O.M.P.T.:
