Some links here are affiliate or referral links. I may earn a commission if you buy or sign up through them, at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
AI can save you hours of busywork. It can't replace your own experience, and it will sometimes state program terms that are out of date. These prompts work the same way in ChatGPT and Grok. Always check program rules, rates, and facts on the official pages yourself.
Copy any of these and fill in the brackets. I don't paste my real click totals into a blog. The weekly prompt uses placeholders like [your clicks] so the numbers stay on your screen.

In this article
- How I use a prompt without letting it invent a result.
- Ten prompts, from a niche picker to an email to a brand.
- What I still verify on the official page after the answer comes back.
How I use them
I paste one prompt. I fill only the brackets I actually know. If I don't have a number, I leave the placeholder. I delete any sentence that claims I tried a product, earned a commission, or hit a follower count unless I typed that fact myself.
Then I check the official page. A prompt is not a source. The FTC pages, Amazon's Operating Agreement, Meta's help center, YouTube Help, and TikTok's seller university are the sources for the other posts in this batch. Those were opened on October 27, 2026. An AI answer written later can drift.
| Prompt | You paste | You still check |
|---|---|---|
| Niche picker | What you already know and do | That every idea came from your list |
| Program research | The niche | The official program URL, not the model's rate |
| Post outline | The topic | Every [MY EXPERIENCE HERE] stays blank until you write it |
| Disclosure check | The draft | The words near the first link |
| Link audit | The URLs | The tag, the product page, and a private-window test |
| Review outline | Notes from real use | That no feature was added |
| Captions | The post | #ad if there is an affiliate link |
| Weekly review | Numbers from your dashboard | That the answer did not forecast income |
| FAQ | The post | Any answer the prompt flagged for a source |
| Brand email | Your real audience size | That you didn't round the traffic up |
1. Niche picker
Use this before you join a program. The point is to stay inside what you already do. For me that list is photography, the Shenandoah Valley, family day trips, gardening, and the AI tools I use for my business. Your list will be different. Don't let the model add a hobby so the niche sounds broader.
Help me choose an affiliate niche. Here's what I know and do regularly: [list]. Ask me 5 questions first, then suggest 3 niches with 10 post ideas each. Only base ideas on what I told you. Never invent personal experiences for me.2. Program research
This one is for a map, not for a link you publish. I ask for the official program page so I can read commission, cookie length, and rules myself. If the answer has no URL, I don't use the rate. Wix, Shopify, Payhip, Buffer, Kit, and Vista Social stay plain text in my posts until I have a working tracking link I'm willing to use.
List affiliate programs that fit a [niche] blog. For each, give the official program page URL so I can verify commission, cookie length, and rules myself. Mark anything you're unsure about as "verify". Don't guess numbers.Want the programs I can actually name? Read Affiliate programs and shops I'm exploring.
3. Post outline
An outline is the busywork. The personal story is yours. The placeholder [MY EXPERIENCE HERE] is the point of the prompt. If the model writes a first-person paragraph anyway, delete it.
Outline a beginner post on [topic] for my blog. Leave clearly marked placeholders like [MY EXPERIENCE HERE] wherever a personal story belongs. Do not write any first-person experiences, results, or earnings for me.4. Disclosure check
I run this after the disclosure is already in the draft, not instead of writing one. The model should list fixes. It should not rewrite the post into a sales page. On my pages the Amazon sentence lives once, under the byline. I don't want a second copy pasted under every product.
Review this post for affiliate disclosure. Is there a clear disclosure near the first link, is each paid link labeled, and does it include the Amazon Associates sentence if Amazon links appear? List fixes only. [paste post]Want the examples I actually use? Read Disclosure rules when you post.
5. Link audit checklist
The model can list what to check. It cannot open a private window for you. I still test the full URL myself. The tag on my Amazon links is lfosterphot0c-20. I throw short links away. I don't type a price or a star rating.
Make me a checklist to audit the affiliate links in this post: product-page links, correct tracking tag [my tag], no link shorteners, no prices or star ratings typed in, links still working. [paste links]Want the network field names? Read How to build affiliate links.
6. Product review outline
Use this only after you have notes from real use. If you have not used the product, skip the prompt. "I've personally used" is a claim. The brackets are there so you can't publish the template by accident.
I've personally used [product] for [time]. Here are my honest notes: [notes]. Turn only these notes into a review outline with pros, cons, and who it's for. Don't add features, claims, or experiences I didn't mention.7. Social caption from a post
Three captions is enough. Each one that contains an affiliate link starts with #ad. If the platform has a paid-partnership label, the caption should mention that you will turn it on. The label is not a substitute for the words. Keep the voice plain. No hype, and no results you didn't write.
Write 3 short captions for [platform] promoting this post. Start each with "#ad" if it contains an affiliate link. Mention the paid partnership label if the platform has one. Keep my voice: warm, plain, no hype. Don't invent results. [paste post or summary]8. Weekly click review
This is the prompt I refuse to pre-fill. Clicks, items ordered, items shipped, and earnings are four different ideas. A click is not a sale. Paste only the numbers on your dashboard that week. If the answer projects next month's income, delete that paragraph.
Here are my numbers for the week: clicks [your clicks], items ordered [your orders], items shipped [your shipped], earnings [your earnings]. Explain in plain language what changed and 2 small things to try next week. Use only the numbers I pasted. Don't project future income.9. FAQ writer
Five questions is enough for a draft. The second instruction matters more than the first. If an answer needs a source, the model should say so. I then open that source. I don't publish a flagged answer as if I had checked it.
Write 5 FAQ questions and short answers for this post, using only facts in the post. Flag any answer that needs a source. [paste post]10. Email to a brand
Some programs are closed. Canva's ambassador program is one I keep as plain text. Don't email a closed program and pretend it is open. When you do write, use the audience size you can point at. Don't round it up. Don't claim a result you haven't had. I also don't put an Amazon link in the email.
Draft a short, polite email to [brand] asking about their affiliate program for my [niche] blog. Mention my real audience size: [numbers]. Don't exaggerate traffic or claim results I haven't had.What I don't ask a model to do
- Invent a commission rate, a cookie length, or a follower minimum.
- Write the Amazon Site sentence a second time under every product. One clear line on the site is the rule I follow, and on these pages it is under the byline.
- Build a tracking URL. That belongs in SiteStripe or the network's link builder.
- Turn a watermarked photo, a stock photo, or an AI image into "my photograph."
- Schedule the posts in this batch one per day. They wait for one approval.
