The Answer Is in the Question

The Answer Is in the Question. How Asking Better Questions Gets You Better Results with AI (and Affiliate Marketing)

The Answer Is in the Question

đŸ˜© Struggling with AI? You’re Not Alone

Have you ever typed something into ChatGPT or another AI tool and got a reply that made you go:
“Ugh
 that’s not what I meant!”

Or maybe it gave you something vaguely okay, but not nearly as powerful or specific as you’d hoped?

It’s not the AI’s fault. And it’s not yours either.
The truth is simple: The answer you get is only as good as the question you ask.

And that, my friend, is where the magic really begins—especially in affiliate marketing.


đŸ€” Why the Question Is Everything

Think of AI as your very own genie—but instead of three wishes, you get unlimited ones.
The catch? You’ve got to be super clear about what you want.

Just like a GPS can’t give you directions unless you put in a destination, AI tools can’t deliver gold if you’re vague, generic, or unfocused.

Here’s why your question matters:

  • 🔍 It helps the AI understand your intent
  • 🎯 It directs the AI to give you results that match your goals
  • 💡 It saves time by reducing guesswork and “do-overs”
  • 💬 It teaches YOU how to think more clearly and strategically

In short? You’re not just using AI. You’re training it to serve your purpose.


đŸ’„ Affiliate Marketing Is ALL About Clarity

When you’re promoting other people’s products as an affiliate, clarity is currency.

If you ask AI:
“Give me a blog post about making money.”

You’ll get fluff.

But ask:
“Write a 600-word blog post targeting retirees who need extra income, promoting Michael Cheney’s affiliate system, using storytelling, and starting with a pain point
”

Now we’re talking!
Suddenly, your content is sharper. It’s personal. It connects.
And it converts.


🧠 So, How Do You Ask Better Questions?

Good news—you don’t need to be a wordsmith or copywriting genius.
Just follow a simple framework when talking to AI:

  1. Who is it for? (Audience: e.g., retirees, busy moms, bloggers)
  2. What do you want? (Type of content: blog, headline, video script)
  3. What’s the goal? (Engagement? Sales? Traffic?)
  4. What’s the tone or angle? (Serious, playful, motivating?)
  5. What product or offer are you promoting?

The more pieces you give it, the more powerful your answer becomes.
And once you learn this skill, you can rinse and repeat across blogs, emails, videos, and social posts.

đŸ§© Final Thought: The Question Is the Strategy

We often think success is about having the right tools or secret hacks.

But what if it’s simply about asking better questions?

Better questions lead to better answers.
Better answers lead to better actions.
And better actions lead to the results you want.

So next time you open an AI tool
 pause.
Think about what you’re really asking.
Because the answer?
It’s already hiding inside the question.
