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

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

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.

✅ The Improved Prompt

Generate 12 blog post ideas for a real estate company targeting home buyers, sellers, and investors. Cover a mix of evergreen topics (e.g., buying tips, local market trends), seasonal content (e.g., staging homes in winter), and lead-generating posts (e.g., home valuation guides). Format the ideas as blog titles with short descriptions.

💡 Why It’s Better

• Encourages a variety of content types (evergreen, seasonal, lead-gen)

• Helps with SEO and content strategy by mixing formats

• Adds structure with titles + descriptions
