Our 7 best prompts of 2025
(To dominate in the AI economy)
Over the past 12 months, we’ve created 200+ AI Prompts to help you:
Grow your audience faster
Turn your writing skills into income
And build your digital library with less effort
But chances are - you missed some of the best frameworks we shared this year.
So today, I’m sending you 7 of our most popular Write With AI Prompts of 2025 (plus a reflection app to help you close out your year!).
That way, you have them handy as you make your plan to dominate 2026 in the AI economy.
Let’s dive in.
Prompt #1: The AI Fingerprint Detector
Ask anyone what bugs them about AI writing and they’ll say the same thing: IT SOUNDS LIKE AI!
This prompt helps you spot and eliminate the 10 dead giveaways that make your writing scream “ChatGPT wrote this” - from contrast framing overload to the mysterious “Sarah Chen” case study.
Run your AI-generated content through this checklist and make it human again.

Prompt #2: The Newsletter Launch Kit
Launching a differentiated, money-making newsletter usually takes weeks of strategy work.
These 4 prompts help you:
Nail your value prop
Brainstorm an A+ newsletter name
Write all your landing page copy, and even mock up the design
All in one afternoon.
All you need to do is follow the instructions, then let your AI do the heavy lifting for you.

Prompt #3: The Research Automator
If you’re not careful, research can eat up all your valuable time.
And it some point you’ll hit a capacity wall.
If you’re creating 2-3 pieces per week, you’re spending 12-33 hours on research alone. At a conservative $100/hour value of your time, that’s $1,200-3,300 worth of research work every single week.
Most of that doesn’t require your expertise.
So why are YOU*still doing it?
It’s the perfect job for an AI assistant.

Prompt #4: The 60K Word Book Outliner
My first book took 4 years to write because I tried to do it linearly.
This prompt uses the organizational writing framework to outline an entire nonfiction book in 24 minutes - complete with positioned title, 10 chapter titles, and detailed content sections.
This will change the way you think about writing long form forever.

Prompt #5: The Turn Of Phrase Tutor
Ever wonder why Alex Hormozi’s writing goes so viral?
It’s because he uses timeless rhetorical techniques that have been making language stick since Shakespeare - Antithesis, Merism, Tricolon, and 37 others.
This AI tutor teaches you any of these 40 “turns of phrase” step-by-step, then guides you through writing exercises to practice them in your own content.

Prompt #6: The Niche-Down Generator
Most people try to create products for “everyone” - and end up resonating with no one.
This prompt takes any mega-category (Fitness, Marketing, Healthcare) and generates 10 profitable niche options, plus 6 “niche-within-niche” variations for each using proven methods: Industry, Demographic, Location, Platform, Price, and Distribution.
Nike didn’t start dominating “all of fitness” - they started with affordable shoes for runners.

Prompt #7: The Expert Prompt Template
You can’t automate what you can’t articulate.
This ready-to-use template shows you exactly how to structure AI prompts that deliver A+ results - with defined roles, specific formats, objective rules, reinforcing examples, and clear visual organization.
Use it to turn any expertise you have into repeatable AI outputs.

(Bonus!) Reflect On Your Year With Yearly40
One of the most valuable things you can do as a writer is reflect on what happened this year - the good, the bad, and how you want the year ahead to shape up.
Our business partner Sam Shore just built an app based on Steph Ango’s “40 questions to ask yourself every year” ritual.
It’s called Yearly40, and it helps you:
Answer 40 reflection questions about 2025
Listen to the radio while you journal
Download a book with all your answers
It might take you a couple days to work through all the questions, but it’s one of the most valuable end-of-year exercises you can do.
Go reflect on your year here: yearly40.com
That’s it!

PS…We’ve got a ton of new AI writing frameworks cooking for 2026, and I’d love your input.
Comment below and let us know:
Which prompt from this year was your favorite?
OR… what’s a prompt you’d love to see us create in 2026?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Your newsletter is worth reading. Can you make a post on how to extract data from long-form podcasts like Spotify? I am a paid member but couldn’t avail myself of the Substack mastery drift campaign post.
I'd like a prompt to help me better get all my expertise down in a master document -- that can then be used to drive my weekly content streams.
