The 1% Better Method
Instead of seeking dramatic improvements, focus on making outputs 1% better with each iteration:
```text AMATEUR APPROACH: "Make this better"
WHISPERER APPROACH: "Improve one specific element: - Iteration 1: Strengthen the opening hook - Iteration 2: Add more specific data - Iteration 3: Enhance emotional resonance - Iteration 4: Tighten the language - Iteration 5: Perfect the call-to-action" ```text
The Layer Cake Technique
Build quality in layers, focusing on one dimension at a time:
Layer 1: Structure ```text "Review this outline. Is the logical flow clear? What's missing?" ```text Layer 2: Content ```text "Now enhance the substance. Add supporting details and examples." ```text Layer 3: Style ```text "Refine the voice and tone. Make it more [conversational/professional/urgent]." ```text Layer 4: Polish ```text "Final polish: grammar, transitions, and punch up key phrases." ```text
