🧠 How to Generate Better Blog Ideas with AI: A Prompt Teardown

🔍 Prompt Engineering in Action

Learn how to transform a basic prompt into a high-performing content creation tool — with real examples, use-case variations, and reusable templates.

🔹 The Original Prompt

"Generate blog ideas for a real estate company."

At first glance, this prompt might seem okay. But it's too broad — and that limits the quality of AI-generated results. Let’s improve it using prompt engineering best practices.

Focus on educational content that builds trust, explains market trends, and showcases local expertise. Include a mix of evergreen topics (e.g., how-to guides) and timely content (e.g., market updates).

💡 Why It’s Better

  • Clarifies the target audience (home buyers and sellers)

  • Specifies content goals (educate, build trust, demonstrate expertise)

  • Suggests a content mix (evergreen + timely topics)

  • Ensures blog ideas are strategically aligned with business goals

🔄 Use-Case Variations
