My prompts, courses, systems, and real talk on building income online.
Hey, I’m Ciaran.
I don’t just make a living online, I’ve lived through the burnout, the bullsh*t, and the broken promises of digital marketing.
Now I teach entrepreneurs, solo creators and sharp thinkers how to cut through the noise and build simple, profitable systems using AI, affiliate strategy, and no-fluff execution.
Not hype.
Not hustle porn.
Not another shiny tool parade.
Just real frameworks that actually work, especially if you’re overwhelmed, stuck, or tired of trying and failing with guru tactics that weren’t built for you.
No coding. No TikTok. No pretending.
You don’t need to become a “content creator.”
You need to finish what matters and get paid.
If you’ve ever thought,
“Maybe I’m just not cut out for this…”
You’re wrong.
You’ve just been handed broken systems.
This channel is where we fix that.

Here’s how I get AI to write like a mindreader (without endless prompt fiddling):
1. Feed it deep context
2. Define the outcome
3. Clarify the audience
4. Structure the core message
That’s just 4 of the 6 Input Clarity Layers... the backbone of every high-quality AI result I ship.

I use this structure before I ever touch ChatGPT:
Feed the AI context
Define one clear outcome
Map message, audience, and format
Set tone, not hype
This isn’t prompt tweaking,
It’s input architecture.

Prompt engineering is not your edge.
It’s the decoy that kept you fiddling while your real leverage slipped away.
You don’t need better prompts...
You need to close the Articulation Gap (so important).
Here’s how to fix it

You don’t have a prompt problem.
You have an articulation gap... and no ‘perfect prompt’ can fix it.
Most creators aren’t getting bad AI results because they’re bad at prompting. It’s because they’re skipping the clarity their AI needs to think like them.
You’re not failing the tools. The tools are amplifying your fuzziness.

If AI feels like it’s sucking the life out of you — not saving it — here’s why:
You’ve got a clear picture in your head.
But when you prompt it?
doyleciaran.substack.com/p/the-lie-that-killed-my-…
It spits out a soggy fortune cookie.
That’s the Articulation Gap.
The silent killer of momentum.
You’re not just wasting time — you’re leaking confidence.
Even when you “feed it everything,” it still misses.
And suddenly you’re thinking: “Maybe I’m the problem…”
You’re not.
You’re stuck in the Creator Chaos Loop.
Dopamine over output.
Tabs over traction.
And the longer you stay there, the deeper you sink.

AI was supposed to make content easier.
Instead, I turned into a caffeinated octopus.
47 tabs open.
Each one yelling: “No, try this prompt.”
Here’s the stupid thing,
I wasn’t lazy. I was drowning.
Not in tasks... in tools.
Every “ultimate prompt” thread just added another bucket to a sinking boat.
What no one told me?
It’s not the prompt.
It’s the blueprint.
You can swing the hammer perfectly…
…but if you’re not building anything?
You’re just getting tired.
Ever felt that?

🚨 Most creators are stuck doing $10/hr tasks… and wondering why they can’t scale.
It’s not effort that’s missing — it’s EXECUTION CLARITY.

❌ “𝙃𝙚𝙡𝙥 𝙈𝙚, 𝙄 𝘼𝙨𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 4:1 𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙚, 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙖 𝙨𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙚.”
Why it happens:
Models like DALL·E care more about what’s in the image than how it’s shaped.
So unless you spell it out, they’ll ignore the aspect ratio.
Tell it “4:1” and it might still draw a square — because it ranked “vibes” over structure.
How to fix it:
Be blunt. Say exactly what you want and what you don’t.
Example:
“𝙂𝒆𝙣𝒆𝙧𝒂𝙩𝒆 𝒂 4:1 𝑾𝙄𝑫𝙀 𝙡𝒂𝙣𝒅𝙨𝒄𝙖𝒑𝙚 𝙞𝒎𝙖𝒈𝙚 — 𝙉𝑶𝙏 𝙨𝒒𝙪𝒂𝙧𝒆.
𝙊𝒖𝙩𝒑𝙪𝒕 𝒔𝙝𝒐𝙪𝒍𝙙 𝙗𝒆 𝒉𝙤𝒓𝙞𝒛𝙤𝒏𝙩𝒂𝙡, 𝒘𝙞𝒕𝙝 𝙘𝒍𝙚𝒂𝙧 𝙬𝒊𝙙𝒕𝙝 𝙚𝒎𝙥𝒉𝙖𝒔𝙞𝒔. (𝑬𝙭: 1600𝒙400).”
Make it idiot-proof. The model’s smart, but not psychic.

Your AI isn’t broken. It’s just dumb.
When it forgets your edits or ignores instructions between chats, that’s not some mystery bug. That’s how it works — stateless. It doesn’t remember sh*t unless you remind it.
You think it’s “aware.” It’s not. It’s just filling in text based on what you give it right now.
Fix:
Use a Scratchpad Layer.
At the top of your prompt, add a section with:
- Your rules
- Key edits
- Constraints
- Examples (if needed)
- And what you want it to do.
Then, and this part matters... paste in everything you want it to keep.
After that, give your actual task.
Yes, it’s tedious. But it works. No guessing. No “why is it doing this?” You’re in control.
