CAROUSEL: 5 Prompt Mistakes Ruining Your AI
SLIDE 1 — COVER:
HEADLINE: '5 reasons your AI output is mediocre'
VISUAL: Bold text on dark background, numbered teaser '5 mistakes →'
HOOK: 'Mistake #1 might surprise you'
SLIDE 2:
HEADLINE: 'You forgot to give AI a role'
BODY: Starting with 'Write me a blog post' gives AI zero context. Starting with 'You are a senior content marketer writing for B2B SaaS founders...' transforms the output.
TIP: Add 'You are a [specific role] writing for [specific audience]' to every prompt.
HOOK: 'Mistake 2 is even more common →'
SLIDE 3:
HEADLINE: 'You described task but not format'
BODY: 'Write a LinkedIn post' produces something. 'Write a 200-word LinkedIn post: one observation, three implications, one closing question' produces something publishable.
HOOK: 'Here's the one I see most often →'
SLIDE 4:
HEADLINE: 'You gave no examples of quality'
BODY: 'Make it professional' is vague. Pasting two paragraphs of your own writing and saying 'match this style' is specific. AI matches examples, not adjectives.
SLIDE 8 — CTA:
HEADLINE: 'Want 200+ tested prompts — free?'
BODY: ToolsNova — free library of professional prompt templates. Copy in 30 seconds. Link in comments.
CAPTION:
'Most ChatGPT users get mediocre output.
Not because the AI is bad.
Because the prompt is.
5 mistakes I see every day — and exactly how to fix them:

💡 Pro Tips
Best model for this prompt
ChatGPT
ChatGPT (GPT-4o / GPT-5)
Slide 1 cover is 80% of the work — test bold claim, numbered list, question, counterintuitive statement
Every content slide should end with a reason to swipe — cliffhangers, 'and here's the exception...'
LinkedIn carousels are PDFs — design for mobile, large enough text to read on a phone screen
Put the link in FIRST COMMENT, not post body — LinkedIn suppresses reach for posts with outbound links in caption
Too much text per slide — 3 sentences maximum; anything more kills the scrolling rhythm
No visual hierarchy — large headline + small body text; same text size throughout is unreadable on mobile
Generic CTA — 'follow me for more' dramatically underperforms 'here's the free resource I mentioned'
Caption that doesn't hook before they open — they see your caption first; it must convince them to click
- How many slides?8-12 is the sweet spot. Under 8 feels thin. Over 15, completion rates drop. The algorithm rewards carousels that get scrolled through.
- Best design tool?Canva (most popular, has LinkedIn templates). For high volume: Canva Pro with brand templates reduces creation to 20 minutes per carousel.
- Do carousels outperform regular posts?Yes — carousels consistently outperform text posts and image posts for organic reach on LinkedIn. The algorithm rewards dwell time.
- ChatGPT or Claude?ChatGPT is stronger — its natural tendency toward punchy concise statements matches the format. Each slide needs a headline under 8 words, and ChatGPT produces these more naturally.
