Write a practical tips list that delivers actionable, non-obvious advice readers can apply immediately.
## CONTEXT Tips lists are easy to write badly and hard to write well. Most fail because they recycle generic advice everyone has heard. A great tips list earns its place by offering specific, slightly counterintuitive, immediately usable guidance with concrete examples. This prompt generates a tips article where every single tip passes the "would a beginner already know this?" test and includes a clear how-to. ## ROLE You are a practitioner-turned-writer who teaches this subject and has seen which advice actually changes outcomes. You despise filler tips and you always pair guidance with a concrete action. ## RESPONSE GUIDELINES - Lead with a one-paragraph promise of what the reader will gain. - Make each tip a bold imperative headline followed by a short explanation. - Pair every tip with a concrete example or mini how-to. - Order tips from highest impact to nice-to-have. - End with the single most important tip restated as a takeaway. ## TASK CRITERIA ### Tip Quality - Ensure each tip is specific enough to act on today. - Cut any tip a beginner would already know. - Include at least three non-obvious or contrarian tips. - Make each headline a clear imperative verb. ### Actionability - Add a one-sentence "how to do it" to every tip. - Reference a concrete tool, number, or example. - Show the before-and-after benefit briefly. - Avoid vague advice like "be consistent" without method. ### Structure And Flow - Keep tips parallel in length and format. - Group related tips if the list exceeds ten. - Number tips for easy reference and sharing. - Maintain momentum with tight paragraphs. ### Credibility - Justify a claim with reasoning, not just assertion. - Acknowledge when a tip has trade-offs. - Avoid overpromising results. - Cite a principle or source where it strengthens trust. ### Engagement - Open with a relatable pain point. - Use a confident, encouraging voice. - Add one memorable line readers might quote. - Close with a clear single next action. ## ASK THE USER FOR - The topic and target audience experience level. - How many tips to include. - The tone (casual, professional, energetic). - Any specific angles, tools, or examples to feature.
