00:00You don't get the best results from AI because you don't know how to prompt

00:05When you write, everybody knows you're using Chat GPT

00:07I tell my students, use Chat GPT, but don't get caught

00:10So, you might be saying, yes, that's the problem, but what can I do about it? You need to learn how to prompt properly

00:21So, in this video, I'm going to show you how you can apply for Coursera financial aid and take the AI prompt engineering course for free because the application pattern has changed from what I shared with you in this video

00:34So, now let's head to my computer and go through the step-by-step process on how you

00:38You can apply for financial aid on Coursera and take the AI engineering prompt course for free, and any other course you want to take on Coursera, absolutely for free

00:43Click the link in the description

00:47It's going to bring you here

00:52As I said earlier, the video I made about applying for financial aid on Coursera has changed

00:59The process has changed

01:01Initially, when you come here, you're going to see "apply for financial aid" or "financial aid," but that has changed

01:08People don't know that they can still apply for financial aid on Coursera, okay? So, and I'm going to show you how you can do that in this video

01:15What you want to avoid is clicking on enroll for free

01:17Please do not click on enroll for free

01:20What you want to do now? We are applying for financial aid for Google Prompting Essentials Specialization

01:25There are other courses as well on AI prompting, but this is the one we want to apply for

01:27Okay

01:29So this course has four course series

01:31Right here, you can see, starting with start writing prompts like a pro

01:36If you click right here, you'll see define prompting in reference to generative AI tools, recognizing, applying prompts, blah, blah, blah

01:44Design prompts for everyday tasks, speed up data analysis, and Presentation building, use AI as a creative and expert partner

01:53So this is the course we want to apply for

01:56There are others as well that you can choose from, the same process on applying for financial aid, so all of them are the same

02:02So you can choose to apply for another course and not this one, okay

02:05You will also earn a certificate once you're done with the course, okay

02:09Now, to apply for financial aid, all you need to do is to come down, scroll down here, you will see financial aid available

02:15If there is financial aid available for the particular course you want to apply for, you're going to see it here

02:21So basically, they changed it

02:24They changed the location from up to down, okay? So what you want to do is to click on learn more

02:27Now, you cannot apply for all of these courses at the same time

02:32Remember that this is a four-course series

02:34You cannot apply for all of them at the same time

02:36So what you're going to do is to apply for course one

02:40Once you are done with course one, you apply for course two, course three, course four, the same process

02:43So we're going to use, so we're going to apply for course one

02:47We're going to click on next

02:51Now, now application can take up to 16 days to be reviewed, so don't panic when you don't hear

02:54from them in one week

02:57So once you click on continue to the application, I started using Coursera, I think, while I was still in college

03:00So if you've not used it before, all you need to do is just to sign up, add all your details, and once you get here, this is what yours will look like

03:07Yours will look like college, unemployed

03:09If you want to put employed here, it's fine, but we're begging for money

03:12We're not begging for money

03:15Basically, you want to apply for financial aid

03:16That's why we left

03:17We're going to leave this as unemployed

03:19Next step is to answer some questions: reason you applied for aid

03:24If you don't know what to write here, we're going to use Charge for this tutorial

03:27So you want to come to Charge

03:29Make sure to take a screenshot of this prompt: "You are an expert in scholarship and financial aid essay writing

03:34Write a compelling, authentic, and well-structured answer, 150 to the Coursera financial aid question: What are you applying for financial aid? Why are you applying for financial aid?" Why am I saying 150? It's because the word limit is 150 words, okay? So this is the prompt

03:46Use the following context about me

03:58I, so I'm basically giving Charge context about me so it doesn't write a generalized Answer for me, though, I have been using Charg for quite some while now, and Charg has basic information about me

04:11So, if you've not been using Charg, it's just going to give you vague answers, okay? But if you've been using Charg, it's just going to give you answers based on what you've been doing

04:17Still, I decided to provide more context about myself to Charg

04:21I said, "Using the following context about me, I am an aspiring digital entrepreneur

04:24I am an aspiring," I told it I'm aspiring

04:27Okay, because we want to believe that this is my first time, I'm aspiring

04:31Please help me

04:33So, I am aspiring as I am an aspiring digital entrepreneur, and Content creator focused on building online income streams through skill development and freelancing

04:42Write in a natural, sincere tone that balances humility and ambition

04:47Avoid generic phrases like "I am passionate about learning," instead make it sound like a real person speaking from purpose and financial need, and then we're going to send this prompt

05:00So here we have our answer from Charg, applying for aid because I'm currently in the transition phase building

05:07I'm going to remove that weird dash

05:09You should always remove it

05:10Building my path

05:12So for the sake of tutorial, normally I don't just

05:13Copy GPT content and paste

05:16I make sure that I take this to my Google Doc and refine it

05:21If I was applying for a school or whatever, I would refine this, but for the sake of this tutorial, I'm just going to copy and paste, but I am definitely going to remove the weird dash

05:30Okay, I'm going to remove the weird dash, I do not like it for whatever reason

05:35Okay, so here we have 145 words and we want this to be 150, so we're lacking five words, but let's see if this is going to go

05:45By the way, let's go through our essay

05:46I'm applying for financial aid because I'm currently in a transition phase, building my path as a

05:52digital entrepreneur and content creator with limited financial resources

05:55Every course I take directly impacts my ability to learn online and support myself sustainably

05:59At this stage, I'm investing my time and energy into learning skills that can help me build a solid foundation, a solid foundation for freelancing, digital product creation, and clients work

06:09But paying for a cost or paying for courses in dollars is a challenge due to currency exchange rates

06:15In my country, receiving financial aid would remove the beauty, play the country, the country card

06:19Wow

06:22Receiving financial aid

06:25Would receiving financial aid remove the barrier and allow me to focus fully on learning and applying that, and applying what I learn to real projects? I'm not taking this opportunity lightly

06:40I plan to implement every lesson to strengthen my online career, create value-driven content, and eventually mentor others who are also, who are also trying to build legacy legitimate income streams through digital skills

06:52This is super cool because I also, I gave charge content and this charge knows that I don't like buzzwords

07:01So, this is actually very, very great

07:03This is super

07:04Cool

07:06All right

07:08So I'm going to, I'm not sure, normally is this, will not go if it's not up to 150 words

07:10It has to be 150

07:13It can be more than 150 words

07:16Okay

07:18Maybe in our next prompt, we're going to tell Chip to keep it 150 to maybe 250, or 150 to 200

07:21So we have a sat

07:26All right

07:30So because this is not up to 150 words, I'm just going to say thank you here and see if it will be, it will be more

07:35Thank you so much

07:38Nope

07:41We're going to say thank you so much here, just to get this up

07:43I appreciate the support

07:46Yeah

07:49So, we have our green tick

07:52So, we have 150 words

07:54Now, we're going to tick this and then click on next

07:56Now the next

07:59The question is, how will your selected course help with your goals? We're going to do the same thing, so we're going to come back to JP

08:07This is a prompt you should use

08:09Take a screenshot, pause the video, and take a screenshot

08:11You are a professional education and career statement writer

08:15Write a detailed, goal-oriented response, 150 to 200

08:18Remember, the other one was 150, and we're lacking a few words to the Coursera financial aid question

08:26How will your selected course help with your goals? Context about me: I'm applying for the Google Prompting Essentials Specialization to strengthen my ability to use AI

08:36tools effectively in business, content creation, and digital marketing

09:00End with a concise statement of how the course is a strategic next step in my journey

09:06So, this is the prompt

09:08Write it down

09:09Copy it

09:10I don't know

09:11Take a screenshot

09:12Copy it to a piece of paper

09:13I don't know how you're going to do it

09:14And then we're Going to click send, and charity is going to do its work

09:19Yay! Save us some time, baby

09:24We're going to do the same thing

09:30We're going to copy from charity, and then we're going to go into the Cera box, and we're going to paste it

09:35Okay, so before we go through the answer here, you want to reduce this to zero

09:40Okay, how much can you pay for your selected cost? Nothing

09:42We don't have nothing

09:45We cannot pay anything

09:48Okay, so here we have our response from Charg

09:51We are going to remove the long dash because normally we don't like, not like they will mind, but I don't like it

09:54Thank you very much

09:58Okay, so we have a say the

10:01Next one is terms and conditions

10:03You want to say, um, you want to click this box, says, "I'm sharing accurate information on my application," exactly

10:07All right

10:10"I'm committed," or "I commit to finishing my course." Please, you should finish your course

10:14Don't go through all this hassle and then you don't

10:17The next thing you want to fill in here is, "I agree

10:21I agree to the terms above." Oops, to the terms above, and you want to take this to make sure you are not a robot

10:28Review

10:36So this is our application, and we are going to click on submit application

10:43In the next, uh, how many, is it 14 weeks, or 14 days, or 16 days, you're Going to get a feedback, a yes or a no

10:53All the times I have applied for financial aid or for Coursera, I always get a yes, so I hope that your application is convincing enough, because don't think that they don't tell people no, they tell people no

11:05That's why I took my time to show you how you can use ChatGPT to answer your question or to answer the essay properly, so don't just go and type, "I don't have money," in one line and all

11:15I don't know

11:16Don't go and copy and paste only, make sure to go through what ChatGPT is giving you

11:20Give ChatGPT the context, so you can pause this video, copy, write down the prompt, anyhow you want to do it
