The Answer Is in the Question. How Asking Better Questions Gets You Better Results with AI (and Affiliate Marketing)
đ© Struggling with AI? Youâre Not Alone
Have you ever typed something into ChatGPT or another AI tool and got a reply that made you go:
âUgh⊠thatâs not what I meant!â
Or maybe it gave you something vaguely okay, but not nearly as powerful or specific as youâd hoped?
Itâs not the AIâs fault. And itâs 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 beginsâespecially in affiliate marketing.
đ€ Why the Question Is Everything
Think of AI as your very own genieâbut instead of three wishes, you get unlimited ones.
The catch? Youâve got to be super clear about what you want.
Just like a GPS canât give you directions unless you put in a destination, AI tools canât deliver gold if youâre vague, generic, or unfocused.
Hereâs why your question matters:
- đ It helps the AI understand your intent
- đŻ It directs the AI to give you results that match your goals
- đĄ It saves time by reducing guesswork and âdo-oversâ
- đŹ It teaches YOU how to think more clearly and strategically
In short? Youâre not just using AI. Youâre training it to serve your purpose.
đ„ Affiliate Marketing Is ALL About Clarity
When you’re promoting other peopleâs products as an affiliate, clarity is currency.
If you ask AI:
âGive me a blog post about making money.â
Youâll get fluff.
But ask:
âWrite a 600-word blog post targeting retirees who need extra income, promoting Michael Cheneyâs affiliate system, using storytelling, and starting with a pain pointâŠâ
Now weâre talking!
Suddenly, your content is sharper. Itâs personal. It connects.
And it converts.
đ§ So, How Do You Ask Better Questions?
Good newsâyou donât need to be a wordsmith or copywriting genius.
Just follow a simple framework when talking to AI:
- Who is it for? (Audience: e.g., retirees, busy moms, bloggers)
- What do you want? (Type of content: blog, headline, video script)
- Whatâs the goal? (Engagement? Sales? Traffic?)
- Whatâs the tone or angle? (Serious, playful, motivating?)
- 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.

đ§© Final Thought: The Question Is the Strategy
We often think success is about having the right tools or secret hacks.
But what if itâs 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?
Itâs already hiding inside the question.
