1. The Checklist (What You’ll Get)

✅ Prompt Engineering Checklist
1️⃣ Define the Goal What outcome do you want?
2️⃣ Choose the Right Model GPT‑4, Claude, Llama‑2?
3️⃣ Set Context & Constraints Few‑shot examples, tone, length.
4️⃣ Use Structured Prompts JSON, tables, bullet lists.
5️⃣ Iterate & Refine Temperature, top‑p, stop tokens.
6️⃣ Test Edge Cases Ask “what‑if” questions.
7️⃣ Add Guardrails Safety, bias, factuality checks.
8️⃣ Review & Document Version‑control prompt revisions.

Why this works: The checklist is a tiny, printable cheat‑sheet that forces you to hit every critical step before you hit Enter. It reduces wasted tokens, improves output quality, and saves you hours of trial‑and‑error.

2. How to Create the Product in Stripe (Step‑by‑Step)

Below is a complete, ready‑to‑run script (Node.js) that:

  1. Creates a product called “AI Prompt Checklist”.
  2. Sets a $5.00 price (USD).
  3. Generates a one‑time Checkout Session that doesn’t require a customer account.

⚠️ Replace the placeholder API keys with your own test/live keys before running.

// stripe-checklist.js
require('dotenv').config();
const stripe = require('stripe')(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);

(async () => {
  try {
    // 1️⃣ Create the product
    const product = await stripe.products.create({
      name: 'AI Prompt Checklist',
      description: 'A concise, printable checklist + video guide for prompt engineering.',
      images: ['https://example.com/checklist-cover.png'],
    });

    // 2️⃣ Create the price (USD, $5.00)
    const price = await stripe.prices.create({
      unit_amount: 500, // cents
      currency: 'usd',
      product: product.id,
    });

    // 3️⃣ Create a one‑time Checkout Session (no auth)
    const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
      payment_method_types: ['card'],
      line_items: [{ price: price.id, quantity: 1 }],
      mode: 'payment',
      success_url: 'https://yourdomain.com/thank-you?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}',
      cancel_url:  'https://yourdomain.com/cancel',
    });

    console.log('✅ Checkout URL:', session.url);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('❌ Stripe error:', err);
  }
})();

Running it

# 1️⃣ Install deps
npm i stripe dotenv

# 2️⃣ Add a .env file
echo "STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_test_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" > .env

# 3️⃣ Execute
node stripe-checklist.js
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The script prints a Checkout URL (e.g., https://checkout.stripe.com/pay/cs_test_...). That URL is the link you’ll embed in your Dev.to article, YouTube description, and any promotional posts.

3. Promotional Blurb (2‑Sentence CTA)

“Stop guessing and start engineering prompts that actually work. Grab the AI Prompt Checklist for just $5 and turn every prompt into a high‑yield conversation.”

Use the checkout URL right after the blurb so readers can click through instantly.

4. Updating Your YouTube Video Description (How‑to)

  1. Open YouTube Studio → Content → select the video you want to edit.
  2. In the Description box, paste the following (replace the placeholder link with the real Checkout URL): 
🚀 Boost your prompt game today! Grab the AI Prompt Checklist for only $5:
https://checkout.stripe.com/pay/cs_test_placeholder

💡 This 2‑page cheat‑sheet walks you through every essential step of prompt engineering. Perfect for developers, marketers, and anyone using LLMs.
