Tips for Better Prompts
**Feed Claude a 'Golden Seed'**: Don't just ask for 'ideas'. Upload a PDF of your best-performing article or a transcript of a customer interview and say, 'Analyze the tone, structure, and key messages here. Generate 5 new ideas in the same style.' This gives Claude a quality benchmark.
**Chain Prompts for Complex Workflows**: Use Claude's long context window. First, paste a competitor's article and ask for an analysis (Prompt 8). Then, in the same chat, say 'Now, using the gaps identified, draft a blog post outline targeting [keyword]' (Prompt 5). Claude will remember the context.
**Specify the 'Voice'**: Claude defaults to a competent but neutral tone. For standout content, define the voice. Instead of 'write friendly', say 'write in the voice of a witty, slightly skeptical industry insider who cuts through jargon.' This yields dramatically more personality.
