When writing strategy prompts, the trick is giving your AI a clear direction. Without structure, you'll get generic advice that sounds like a search result. Here's how to approach it.
First, define what you're actually deciding. Not "content strategy" but "Should I spend my budget on Instagram ads or a friend's podcast sponsorship this quarter?" The more specific the decision, the better the response. (1/4)
Give context they can actually use. Who's your audience? What's your budget? What time do you have? The details change the answer, so don't skip them.
Look for trade-offs, not good answers. A strong prompt asks for three options with the pros, cons, and risks of each. Then ask which one they'd pick and why. Push them to think your way, not a generic case-study-looking answer. (2/4)
Ask for a real action plan. With clear steps and 30-day milestones. Vague advice is useless. You want something you can actually do today.
Never end with "What am I missing?" This is where the blind spots are. Every plan looks good until someone says, "Have you noticed this is too late for your budget?"
Try this next time you're stuck. Treat the AI like a consultant who is about to advise you, not the internet summarizing a topic. That alone changes everything. (3/4)
