đŸȘœ Step 1: Understand the 3 Levels of Prompting

Level

Description

Example

Basic

You ask for a simple answer.

“Explain data analytics.”

Intermediate

You guide ChatGPT’s tone or format.

“Explain data analytics like a teacher to a beginner.”

Advanced

You define a role, context, and structure.

“Act as a data coach. Explain analytics using simple Sri Lankan business examples, then give me a 3-step daily learning plan.”

đŸȘœ Step 2: Use Role-Based Prompts

One of ChatGPT’s strongest features is its ability to “act” as a character or professional. This makes it easier to get expert-level, context-rich answers.

✅ Try These Prompts:

  1. “Act as a data analytics mentor. Teach me the top 3 metrics used in retail.”

  2. “Act as a copywriting coach. Give me 3 exercises to improve headlines.”

  3. “Act as a startup advisor. Explain how to validate a business idea.”

  4. “Act as an interviewer. Test my understanding of AI basics.”

  5. “Act as a freelance client. Evaluate my writing sample and give me a score.”

đŸȘœ Step 3: Build Prompt Chains (Multi-Step Learning)

Instead of one long question, create a chain of prompts that builds step-by-step understanding.

✅ Example (for UX Design Learner):

  1. “Explain what UX design means for beginners.”

  2. “List 5 common mistakes new UX designers make.”

  3. “Give me a mini project to practice UX design.”

  4. “Review my project as if you were a senior designer.”

  5. “Turn your feedback into a checklist I can follow.”

This helps ChatGPT remember context and guide you like a mentor — not just a search engine.

đŸȘœ Step 4: Create Your Own Prompt Templates

Professionals don’t rewrite every prompt — they build templates. These reusable scripts help you learn faster and work smarter.

✅ Try These Prompts:

  1. “Create a reusable prompt template to summarize any article.”

  2. “Design a template to generate project ideas for any skill.”

  3. “Build a framework to practice [skill] with 3 levels: easy, medium, hard.”

  4. “Make a feedback template where ChatGPT reviews my work using 3 criteria.”

  5. “Create a journaling prompt I can use every Sunday to track my progress.”



đŸ§© Example Template (Custom Learning Prompt)

“Act as a personal tutor. Teach me [topic] using the format: Step 1 – Simple explanation Step 2 – Local example Step 3 – Practice question Step 4 – Quick feedback.”
