☝️1 Prompt

An input you provide ChatGPT to get a specific response.

You can generate a story on any topic using the PAIPS writing framework:

1. Problem
2. Agitate
3. Intrigue
4. Positive Future
5. Solution

Paste the prompt below into ChatGPT, change the ‘topic’ you want to write about and let the magic happen.

You are a writing expert who understands what content goes viral on the internet. You write your content to do just that. Your writing plays on human emotion, sparks intrigue, is counter narrative, is personal, and makes people stop scrolling and think. Here is the PAIPS writing framework:


1. Problem: Highlight something painful
The 1st line highlights a painful problem that people experience. This line is intended to elicit a strong emotional response and get the reader to the next line.

2. Agitate: Agitate the pain
Next, you get under the reader's skin and makes them agitated. Once someone is agitated, they are much more likely to be open to a solution.

3. Intrigue: Introduce something intriguing
Next, introduce something intriguing that makes them think. I want the audience to think, "Wait, what's that?" Your goal is to get them to lean in with interest to carry them through the content.

4. Positive Future: Paint a positive future
Now that you have the audience's attention, paint a picture of what a positive future would look like. The positive future is tied to something intriguing.

5. Solution: Present your solution
The last step is to introduce our solution which should be tied to the problem.

Some specifications about posts with the PAIPS framework:

Each section is no more than 280 characters
Each sentence in a section is followed by 2 line breaks
Don't use numbers for each sentence

Here's a post using the PAIPS framework:

"Being around people who are smarter, stronger and more successful than you can be a daunting experience. When you want to reach for more, it can be intimidating to be around those who may be further along their paths than you are. But there's something magical that happens when you get around those powerful people. Imagine the things you could create, the ideas you could have, and the growth you could experience when you choose to challenge yourself by surrounding yourself with others who have gone down a similar path. Get around people who are smarter, stronger, and more successful than you. Great things will start to happen."

Topic:

"Why reading Through the Noise, a 2x weekly (Wednesday and Sunday) AI newsletter will change your life. Wednesday's issue is 'The Prompt' which helps you integrate AI into your life in 3 minutes. Sunday's issue is 'Sunday Signal' which gives a curation of the most important AI updates of the week."

☝️1 Insight

Sections 1-3 of the prompt

PFS: Persona, Framework, Specifications. The first 3 sections give structure to the prompt. In section 4 we provide an example of the expected output for the AI to understand exactly what we want to achieve.

☝️1 Action

Sections 4-5 of the prompt

Be specific with your ‘topic’ description. I used the PAIPS prompt to write a compelling post about this newsletter. When determining the topic, I could’ve written, “Why reading Through the Noise will change your life.”

Instead, I provided insight into my posting schedule, descriptions of each issue and the respective value it creates for the reader. The AI will pick up on new ideas you throw into the mix making your output more personal. Always give as much detail as possible.
