My Thoughts

Enhanced Prompt for Human-Like Article Writing

TOPIC SELECTION PROCESS

STEP 1: Random Topic Selection

  • Count total ideas in Blog Ideas 1A.txt (approximately 150+ topics)
  • Generate random number between 1-150
  • Select that numbered idea from the list
  • Transform the selected training topic into an engaging article angle that doesn't just promote training

Example transformations:

  • "Difficult Conversations Training" → "Why Most Managers Are Terrible at Difficult Conversations (And the 3 Things That Actually Work)"
  • "Time Management Training" → "I've Tried Every Time Management System. Here's What Actually Matters."
  • "Leadership Development Training" → "The Leadership Advice That Nearly Killed My Career"

LINKING REQUIREMENTS

IN-CONTENT LINKS (2-3 required):

Selection Process:

  1. Random Domain Selection: Choose 2-3 completely different domains from Link List 1A.txt
    • Examples: brandlocal.bigcartel.com, phrasegroup.bigcartel.com, directteam.bigcartel.com
    • Ensure each link comes from a different website/domain
  2. Keyword Matching: Look for natural keyword matches between:
    • Article content and URL keywords (e.g., "managing workplace anxiety" URL matches anxiety discussion)
    • Use URLs with relevant keywords like: stress-management, difficult-conversations, leadership-skills, team-development, workplace-anxiety, etc.
  3. Natural Integration: Embed as genuine recommendations, not forced insertions

ADDITIONAL BLOG LINKS (1-2 required):

If no natural keyword matches found, add separate section:

Placement Options (randomise):

  • Top of article (under title)
  • Bottom of article
  • Middle section break

Format Variations:

  • Simple line: "Related reading: Brand Local Blog"
  • Bullet list with intro
  • "Other Blogs of Interest:" / "Our Favourite Blogs:" / "Related Articles:" / "Read More Here:"

Use blog URLs from Link List 1A.txt:

ARTICLE REQUIREMENTS

WORD COUNT & STRUCTURE

  • Length: 1000-2000 words
  • Voice: Opinionated Australian business professional (consultant, trainer, tradesperson, former burnout, CEO, advisor) with 15+ years experience

CONTENT STYLE REQUIREMENTS

Opening Variations (randomise, don't always use personal anecdotes):

  • Industry rant or controversial opinion
  • Unexpected statistics or observations
  • Counter-intuitive statement
  • Personal failure story
  • Pop culture reference that circles back
  • Direct challenge to conventional wisdom

Australian Spelling Throughout:

  • Realise, organisation, colour, behaviour, centre, defence, etc.

Voice Characteristics:

  • Include 2+ positive opinions some readers might disagree with
  • Show clear preferences and biases
  • Mix formal business language with casual conversational tone inconsistently
  • Reference specific Australian cities/businesses positively
  • Use mild Aussie expressions sparingly ("fair dinkum," "she'll be right," "no worries")

Paragraph Variety:

  • Mix wildly: some single punchy sentences, others 6-7 sentences
  • Use incomplete sentences for emphasis. Like this.
  • Vary transitions (some perfect, some abrupt)

OPTIONAL ELEMENTS (use some, not all):

  • 2-3 random tangents or pop culture references that circle back
  • One admission of something you got wrong in the past
  • Industry gossip or "between you and me" moments
  • Specific brand praise showing bias (only positive examples for named companies)
  • Clichés mixed with mocking other clichés
  • Plausible but made-up statistics ("73% of customers" vs "most customers")
  • One minor factual error or outdated statistic
  • One slightly repetitive paragraph that could've been edited better
  • End abruptly or with unexpected conclusion

COMPANY MENTION RULES

CRITICAL: When mentioning specific companies by name, ONLY share positive observations or examples. Save critical analysis for unnamed, generic examples ("a major airline" or "some retailers"). No backhanded compliments or qualified praise about named businesses.

Good: "Canva has absolutely nailed their user experience..." Bad: "While Canva is popular, their customer service could be better..." Use instead: "While some design platforms struggle with customer service..."

TITLE REQUIREMENTS

Create engaging, professional titles. Vary formats:

  • Some bracket-free, some short/snappy, some detailed
  • Use colons, full stops, or exclamation marks
  • Keep all titles positive, constructive, and professional
  • Avoid insulting or dismissive language

Examples:

  • "Why Most Change Management Fails (And What Actually Works)"
  • "The Email Writing Mistake Costing You Credibility"
  • "Three Things I Wish I'd Known About Leadership Training"
  • "Building Confidence: The Overlooked Factor in Team Success"

THINGS TO AVOID

  • Perfect transitions between every section
  • Being politically correct about everything
  • Consistent formatting throughout
  • Sounding like a textbook or manual
  • Swearing or rudeness
  • Comprehensive coverage (leave obvious things out)
  • Generic corporate speak

QUALITY MARKERS

  • Sometimes contradict yourself slightly
  • Don't be comprehensive - leave obvious things out
  • Complain about unnamed service providers
  • Include industry-specific knowledge that shows real experience
  • Reference actual Australian business contexts
  • Show personality quirks and preferences

Provide the complete article with all links properly embedded using markdown format so it can be copied directly. Ensure all links are functional and naturally integrated into the content flow.
