Below are four exemplary Twitter threads, each separated by a line as indicated by the dashes. Your task is to generate five captivating hook options for a Twitter thread centered around the theme of creating effective prompts for ChatGPT. The primary aim of these hooks is to immediately draw in readers, encouraging them to engage with the entire thread. An effective hook can take various forms, such as:

* A thought-provoking question that ignites curiosity
* A bold or surprising statement that challenges widely held beliefs
* A brief personal story or a vivid image that elicits an emotional response
* A clear promise of valuable insights or practical information

The context for this topic stems from the fact that many users face difficulties in achieving satisfactory results from AI tools due to ineffective prompting. Common challenges include:

* Implicit Communication Habits: Users often interact with humans where context is assumed, while AI requires explicit and clear instructions.
* Vague and Unstructured Prompts: Users frequently submit overly general prompts that lack specific details and clear objectives, resulting in generic and irrelevant responses from the AI.
* Lack of Prompt Engineering Knowledge: Many users may not be familiar with techniques in prompt engineering that can enhance AI performance.
* Inconsistent Results: Users often need to adapt their prompting styles to achieve improved outcomes.
* Difficulty in Refining Prompts: Users may struggle to identify why their prompts are ineffective and how to enhance them.

To effectively tackle these issues, consider the following strategies:

> Clearly identify your end goal.

--

> Provide context and explain the rationale at the beginning.

--

> Include relevant background information or assumptions.

--

> Break down the task into clear, specific components.

--

> Specify what should be excluded.

--

> Indicate any constraints such as time frame, word count, or specific tools/resources to reference.

--

> Avoid vague terminology like “good,” “better,” or “interesting” without providing context-specific explanations.

--

> Keep instructions concise yet detailed enough to eliminate ambiguity.

--

> Conclude with formatting guidelines for the output (e.g., “List in bullet points,” “Compose an essay with headings,” “Limit to 3 paragraphs,” etc.).

 Please structure your output as a list of five distinct hook options, ensuring that each option is both engaging and pertinent to the topic at hand. ‘’’
THREAD 1:
— A hill I'll die on: 95% of entrepreneurs should forget about technology (a few big fish and a lot of sophisticated fishermen) and focus on small business (small fish everywhere and really crappy fishermen). A THREAD: — Be like water. Take the path of least resistance. The goal of every entrepreneur should be: #1. Gain financial freedom and #2. Maximize probability of achieving #1 — Because when you have financial freedom your world opens up. You can start doing what makes you happy. And you can positively impact a lot more people with project #2, 3, 4 etc. You're in a position to try to change the world if you have financial freedom. — So why don't more folks think about opportunities with more weight added to #2? The odds part. The risk. The probability. — The amount of small businesses in America that absolutely print money and still do business like it’s 1985 is astounding. — Why is everyone trying to fish for sharks against Stanford and Harvard grads and venture capital and big tech? Sure you hit big. And we see the folks who did all over twitter. But what about the other 95% who tried but couldn't achieve #1? — Business should be more like poker. How can I maximize my gain and minimize my risk? How much cash do I really need to try to win on this hand? — People don't need as much cash as they think to be free. $100k a year in passive income is enough for most folks. Just not having to go to a job they don't like would change everything for most folks. — So why don't we look up from our computer screens? The amount of small businesses in America that absolutely print money and still do business like it’s 1985 is astounding. Fax machines. Secretaries. Land lines. Written ledgers. Cash payments. — Innovation can happen in really small ways. I'm getting moderately wealthy right now by applying out-of-the-box software to self storage facilities. I'm one of about 100 groups of folks doing exactly this. — Am I trying something new? No. Am I innovating? Sure. Am I taking risk? No. Am I copying off of others? Sure. Am I trying to educate a market? No. — I'm fishing in a pond (small self storage facilities) with tons of small fish (20,000+ of them in the USA) and a ton of crappy fishermen (60 year olds who don't use email). So my ask of you: — Learn from the true innovators. Pay attention to silicon valley and how they do business. But look up from your computer screen. There is a small business 1/2 mile from your house that prints money and does business like its 1985. — Nobody wants to buy that business. Nobody wants to start that business. Because there is a little bit of sweat. It's not easy. It might take a little bit of physical work (god forbid) in the early days. — And so the fish are just sitting there. They may not be large enough fish to make it on the cover of Entrepreneur magazine. But they are big enough fish to change your entire life and the life of your kids and their kids. Why wouldn't you throw your line there? — If you're into small business and real estate sign up for my newsletter: http://sweatystartup.substack.com — THREAD 2:
— After 20,000+ hours of collaboration with 400+ writers, my team and I developed a new framework for writing: COMPOSE C = Concept O = Objective M = Material P = Plan O = Organization S = Style E = Elegance ** More—> — CONCEPT is the burning question, experience, or intuition that gets you going in the first place. You want to understand it more deeply. When you talk about it, you learn new things that you didn’t recognize before. Ideally, it’s a “mindworm” that won’t leave you alone. — OBJECTIVE is what you want your reader to feel, think, do, or understand. Maybe you want readers to learn something, buy something, believe something, or laugh. Or maybe your objective is to quench your curiosity—to understand a topic better. That quest is no less worthy. — MATERIAL comes from research, conversation, imagination & your environment. It includes: * definitions * descriptions * stories * arguments * data * examples Think: “What might get my readers to feel, think, do, or understand what I intend?” Gather now; judge later. — PLAN means “think a few moves ahead.” Plan to cover all the essential points, and only the essential points. Plan loosely! Bullets & sketches are more useful than meticulous outlines. — ORGANIZATION is the order in which you arrange your material, a.k.a. “structure.” A story is ordered in time. A how-to guide gives you a series of steps to follow. Persuasive or argumentative pieces are ordered logically: some ideas provide support/evidence for others. — STYLE comes from mastering fundamentals! Writers often get feedback on style (tone, voice, word choice, etc) but that's rarely helpful—because beneath most stylistic problems, there’s a fundamental skill that needs strengthening. Style comes *after* you work through COMPO. — ELEGANCE is the ultimate polish that makes hard work look easy. Writers reach elegance the way martial artists reach the black belt. “Beauty walks a razor’s edge; someday I’ll make it mine,” wrote Bob Dylan. Elegance is the beauty we’re working to make ours! — Notes: COMPOSE doesn’t always happen linearly. E.g. you might already have some material, then discover a concept. That said, walking through COMPOSE linearly can help writers get unstuck, even mid-project. I welcome ALL questions! Article: https://writing.coach/compose — THREAD 3: — Here are 9 things you should include in your marketing portfolio... — 1) An Effective Tagline Make your tagline clear and catchy. Keep in mind that this is something that people will only glance at. — 2) One Title You probably aren’t an expert/ninja/guru in every area of your field. Just like a movie, you should only have one title and your title will be the theme of your portfolio. It sets an expectation for the viewer so they have an idea of what they’re about to read. — 3) A Professional Headshot This is mandatory. When you don’t have a picture of yourself on your website readers will wonder why. If they can’t see you they could get the impression that you’re hiding (which is the opposite of what you’re trying to do). — 4) A Strong Elevator Pitch Write out who you are and what you do in two paragraphs (max). Start with introducing yourself, talk about projects you’ve worked on, and then highlight what you’ve learned or what you value in your work. — 5) What You Offer When a recruiter or potential clients visits your online portfolio, there should be no confusion over what it is you offer. This is also your opportunity to highlight what kind of projects you enjoy. — 6) Tools You’ve Worked With You never know what technology stacks companies are using. Keep a list of platforms and programs you’ve worked with on hand. They provide hiring managers with a quick way to see what you’ve been up to. — 7) Testimonials There’s no excuse not to have these, even if you’re just starting out. Make a list of clients (old and new), colleagues, teachers, and employers that could help you out with this. Try to find at least 2-3 to include. — 9) Clear Way(s) To Contact You The whole point of your portfolio is to help you connect with potential employers; make it easy for them to do that. This can be a simple form or an emailto link. — When you put it all together, it should start to tell a story about your career, interests, and ambitions. — THREAD 4: — How to Get Rich (without getting lucky): — Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy. — Understand that ethical wealth creation is possible. If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you. — Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games. — You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity - a piece of a business - to gain your financial freedom. — You will get rich by giving society what it wants but does not yet know how to get. At scale. — Pick an industry where you can play long term games with long term people. — The Internet has massively broadened the possible space of careers. Most people haven't figured this out yet. — Play iterated games. All the returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest. — Pick business partners with high intelligence, energy, and, above all, integrity. — Don't partner with cynics and pessimists. Their beliefs are self-fulfilling. — ‘’’
