Why this prompt works

Listicles get thin when items overlap or state the obvious. Requiring distinct entries with examples forces substance into each point, and the 'earn its place' rule pushes the model to cut weak filler that would otherwise pad the count.

How to customize it

Pick a number you can genuinely fill with strong items — 7 great beats 15 weak.
Ask for a concrete example under each point to avoid generic advice.
Use the blog outline generator first if you want to lock the structure.

Tip: replace the parts in [square brackets] with your own details before you send. The more specific you are — audience, tone, goal, constraints — the better the AI output.
