If You're Going to Buy Prompts, Choose Based on "Templates + Intuition"—3 Perspectives to Check Before You Buy

AI prompt templates have a real purpose.
But they aren't so universal that they're all you'll ever need.

That's why I think of it this way.

Only when this balance is struck do templates become "tools that turn AI into your strongest ally."

I wrote about that in my previous article.

And today is the second part.

• I want to use AI more, but I'm still not sure how to use it.

• I want to incorporate templates to save time.

• I want to buy prompts to study, but I'm not sure which ones to choose.

• I want to know how to identify a "good prompt."

For those of you who feel this way,
I've summarized some tips and points of caution on how to choose, from the perspective of "If you're going to buy prompts, what should you look for?"

If you're going to buy fish, you'd rather—
buy from someone who will also teach you how to catch and cook them.
Prompts might be the same way.

✅① Adjustability—Can you notice when things are off and fix them?

Templates aren't "magic wands."
No matter how high-precision a prompt is, there are times when the AI will interpret things incorrectly on its own.

That's because AI is good at "pretending to read the room."
It might sense the flow, jump ahead by thinking, "Maybe this is what you mean?" and return misguided output.

When that happens, what you need is "Adjustability" = the skill of course correction.

For example,

• How should I give instructions when the text is too long?

• How do you tone it down when it's too high-energy?

• What if you want to simplify phrasing that's hard to understand?

In times like these, having examples of adjustment prompts and advice like 'If you fix it this way, you'll get closer to your goal' included as a set makes it safe for beginners to use.

Don't just look for how to use the template; choose someone who guides you on 'how to get back on track when things go off-course.'

✅② Reproducibility—Can you consistently get the output you intend?

Many people have probably had the experience of
'it worked once, but I can't reproduce it with the same prompt.'

AI can be a bit moody, and the output tends to fluctuate depending on the user and the timing.

Even so, whether it is designed so that 'using this template will consistently produce output in the intended direction' is a very important perspective.

The key here is whether the 'thinking behind the prompt' is articulated.

For example,

• Why that tone or structure was chosen

• What you are intending to make the AI do with this specific sentence

• Which condition has the most influence on the output

Templates that explain this background allow you to understand the intent, saying 'I see, that's the idea,' and then reuse it according to your own goals.

Instead of just 'using the template as is,' whether you can 'learn the logic and arrange it yourself'. This leads to high reproducibility.

✅③ Compatibility—Look at the 'distance' between you and the creator, rather than just the content of the template

When choosing a prompt, what is actually very important is "whether you and the person who created this template are a good match".

For example, whether that person's

• purpose for using AI

• communication style

• practical experience and level of enthusiasm

is close to your own.

If that direction aligns, the template's output is also more likely to be in a form close to your own goals.

Prompts also have "target design"

"Who is it for?" and "For what purpose?" are they creating the template. If that part is misaligned with you, the output is also likely to be misaligned.

In other words, before buying a template, it is a prerequisite to clarify what you want to do with AI (who you want to reach, what kind of articles you want to write)—your purpose and your position.

This is a way of thinking that also applies to designing a note account.

For example, instead of targeting "working moms in their 30s," make it
"working moms in their 30s who want to start a side hustle on note during the gaps in their busy daily lives".

What will you communicate to that person?

• How to start a note side hustle in your spare time

• Mindset techniques for getting family cooperation

• Tips for making note writing a habit

...Like this, the more you specify the person you want to reach, the clearer the direction of your communication becomes.

Furthermore, it is also great to clarify your own position.

• Is it a style of conveying reality to people in the same situation based on your own actual experience?

• Is it a style of teaching knowledge like an expert?

• Are they sharing from the perspective of "I'm still experimenting, but let's do our best together"?

These elements become important prerequisites when communicating with AI and are directly linked to how well it will work with your templates.

Use the free section to gauge "compatibility"

The more specific the user's goal, the more concrete the design required for a prompt template. However, some sellers prioritize "versatility" and often make them broad enough for anyone to use.

In many cases, they are designed broadly so that anyone can use them.

But for beginners, what they really want to know are those very details.

• How should I modify it to get closer to my own writing style?

• How can I use it without failing?

Check the free section carefully to see if they have delved into these perspectives.Make sure to look closely.

☑️ Conversely, be careful if they don't touch on those things in the free section.

It might be the mindset of "once they buy it, the AI will figure it out," or it's possible that
the person themselves has AI utilization skills that are about the same as yours. as well.

It would be a shame to become a "lucky sucker" for someone like that.
Have a discerning eye and choose wisely.

Well then, goodnight. See you tomorrow.

Thank you for reading until the end😊

If you "like" or "follow" me, I will
・Wonder if you're someone who wants to master AI?
・Wonder if you're someone who wants to develop a discerning eye?
・Wonder if you're someone who wants to make your side-hustle debut using AI?
and I will happily consider you a comrade.🤩

Let's make AI our strongest creative ally, not just a tool for mass-producing mediocre articles.

Even if you buy a good template, the AI's habit of "confidently being wrong" probably won't be fixed easily, right?👇

Even when using AI, I don't want to break the comfortable atmosphere of note👇
