Ready-to-copy prompts for the problems people bring to Han Yong's workshops most often. Replace the [brackets] with your details. Each one has its own page with an example, the common mistake and a follow-up prompt.
Content
You open Instagram or Facebook to post and your mind goes blank, or you keep repeating the same promo post.
Act as a content strategist for small businesses.
My business: [what you do, where you are]
My customers: [who buys from you and what they care about]
My goal this month: [e.g. more enquiries, more walk-ins, more followers]
Step 1: Suggest 3 content pillars that suit my business. One should teach, one should show behind the scenes, one should prove results.
Step 2: For each pillar, give me 5 specific post ideas. Specific means I know exactly what to film or photograph.
Step 3: Mark the 3 ideas that are easiest to make this week with only a phone.
Rules: no generic ideas like "share a tip" or "post a quote". Every idea must be doable in under an hour.
Writing
The draft is correct but reads like a brochure, uses words like "elevate" and "seamless", or sounds nothing like you.
Here are 3 short examples of how I actually write:
"""
[paste 3 of your own posts, emails or messages]
"""
Study my style: sentence length, word choice, how I open and close, how formal I am.
Now rewrite the text below so it sounds like me:
"""
[paste the AI draft]
"""
Rules:
- Never use these words: elevate, unlock, seamless, game-changer, delve, in today's fast-paced world, leverage.
- Use short sentences. Say it the way I would say it to a customer face to face.
- Keep every fact the same.
After the rewrite, list 3 things about my style you noticed, so I can reuse them.
Images
Your images look glossy and plastic, skin looks airbrushed, or everything is too clean and too colourful.
Create a photo of [subject] in [real setting].
Camera: shot on a full-frame camera, [35mm / 50mm / 85mm] lens, eye level, shallow depth of field.
Lighting: [soft window light from the left / overcast daylight / warm late afternoon sun]. Natural shadows.
Realism details: visible texture, small everyday imperfections, natural skin with pores, slight film grain, true-to-life colours.
Composition: [subject position], with some empty space for text.
Aspect ratio: [4:5 / 16:9 / 1:1].
Avoid: plastic skin, over-smoothing, oversaturated colours, perfect symmetry, glowing edges, extra fingers, garbled text.
Images
You are making a mascot, a storybook, a comic or a series of posts, and the face or outfit keeps changing.
CHARACTER SHEET (do not change any of this):
Name: [name]
Age and build: [e.g. 8-year-old girl, small and round-faced]
Face: [eye shape, eyebrows, nose, skin tone]
Hair: [style, length, colour, accessories]
Clothes: [exact outfit and colours]
Art style: [e.g. soft 3D cartoon, rounded shapes, warm colours]
SCENE (this is the only part that changes):
[what the character is doing, where, and the mood]
Keep the character exactly as described in the sheet. Same face, same hair, same clothes, same proportions, same art style.
Aspect ratio: [3:4]
Business
You have a client or boss brief and need concepts fast, or the brief is vague and you do not know where to start.
Act as a creative director.
Here is the brief:
"""
[paste the brief]
"""
Step 1: Restate the brief in 5 lines: goal, audience, key message, must-haves, limits.
Step 2: List anything unclear that I should ask the client.
Step 3: Give me 9 concept ideas: 3 safe, 3 bold, 3 unusual. For each: a name, a one-line idea, how it would look, and why it fits the brief.
Step 4: Recommend one and explain the risk.
Do not skip step 1 and 2.
Content
Every day you decide what to post on the same day, and you want a simple plan you can follow.
Act as a content planner for a small team.
Business: [what you do]
Customers: [who they are]
This week's goal: [one goal]
Platform: [Instagram / Facebook / TikTok / LinkedIn]
Time I have: [e.g. 2 hours this week]
Make a 7-day plan as a table: Day | Type (teach, behind the scenes, proof, sell) | Post idea | Format | Hook (first line) | Call to action.
Rules: sell on no more than 2 days. Every idea must be filmable with a phone.
Then tell me which posts I can film together in one session to save time.
Content
You made something good once (a video, an article, a talk) and want to get more mileage from it.
Here is one piece of content I already made:
"""
[paste your post, article, transcript or notes]
"""
Turn the main idea into 5 formats:
1. Instagram carousel: 7 slides, one short line per slide, slide 1 is a hook.
2. 30-second Reel script: hook, 3 points, call to action.
3. LinkedIn post: professional, starts with a personal insight, under 200 words.
4. WhatsApp broadcast: friendly, under 60 words.
5. Email: subject line, 3 short paragraphs, one link.
Keep the same core message. Change the hook and length to suit each format.
Business
Before you send a proposal, publish a post, submit a design or present to a client.
Act as a tough but fair reviewer. Do not flatter me.
What this is: [proposal / post / slide deck / design description]
Who it is for: [audience]
What it must achieve: [goal]
"""
[paste your work]
"""
1. Score it out of 10 on: clarity, persuasiveness, relevance to the audience, and structure.
2. List the 3 biggest weaknesses first, with the exact line or part.
3. For each weakness, show a better version.
4. Then list what works and should stay.
5. One question the audience will ask that my work does not answer.
Learning
The answer is too general, too long, off target, or you keep rewriting the prompt without improving it.
I want a better result from AI. Here is my current prompt:
"""
[paste your prompt]
"""
Before rewriting it, ask me up to 5 short questions to find what is missing. Check for:
- Role: who should you act as?
- Objective: what exactly do I need?
- Audience: who is it for?
- Context: what background do you need?
- Direction: what tone and style?
- Constraints: what to avoid, and any limits?
- Output: what format and length?
After I answer, write the improved prompt and explain in 3 bullets what you changed.
Writing
A complaint, a bad review or a frustrated WhatsApp message you need to answer calmly and quickly.
Act as a calm, caring customer service lead.
The customer wrote:
"""
[paste the message, with names and phone numbers removed]
"""
What really happened: [the facts]
What I can offer: [refund / replacement / voucher / nothing extra]
Write a reply that:
- acknowledges how they feel in the first line
- explains briefly, without excuses
- states clearly what I will do and by when
- does not promise anything I have not listed
Give me a formal email version and a short WhatsApp version.
Learning
Reports, tenders, contracts, meeting transcripts, research papers or long email threads.
Summarise the attached document.
Why I need it: [e.g. to brief my manager / to decide whether to bid]
Who will read the summary: [audience]
Give me:
1. A 2-sentence summary
2. The 5 most important points
3. All numbers, dates and deadlines, with the page or section they come from
4. Decisions or actions needed
5. Anything unclear, missing or risky
Only use what is in the document. If you are unsure, say so. Do not guess.
Business
You have a meeting, pitch or talk coming up and you are staring at a blank slide.
Act as a presentation coach.
Topic: [topic]
Audience: [who, and what they care about]
Time: [minutes]
At the end, I want them to: [decision or action]
Create a slide-by-slide outline. For each slide: title, the one key message, a visual idea, and 2 lines of speaker notes.
Rules: one idea per slide, no more than 20 words on screen, open with the audience's problem, include at least one example or number.
Finish with the 3 toughest questions they might ask and short answers.
