1. Get both sides of the argument When forming an opinion, we usually just consider our side of the story. ChatGPT can give you different perspectives to get new insights that you may not have considered. I love how novel these ideas are…
Sample prompt: “Subject: Copywriting for SEO Write various viewpoints from a group with various perspectives on the subject mentioned above. Write about each perspective in that person’s own words, using language they would use.”
2. Make ChatGPT write like you Most people have written something in their lifetime. You have your own style, voice, and tone. Now, you can ask ChatGPT to copy these traits and produce content. Let’s see how…
Sample prompt:
Insert your sample writing
“Analyze the writing style and write about building a business as the above author would write.”
3. Summarize long articles Nobody likes reading long articles. If you want ChatGPT to give you the most important aspects, give it the prompt “TL;DR”. It’ll give you a summary of the text you give it.
4. Provide additional context for better results Most people will ask ChatGPT: “How to monetize Twitter growth” You should add more context about: • Who you are • Your audience • Your content goals Let me give you an example…
Sample prompt Topic: How to monetize your Twitter growth Audience: content creators Content goal: giving insightful strategies and tips
5. Don’t use it like Google Most people think you should use it like a search engine. That’s useful. But it becomes more powerful when you give it clear instructions. This is what prompt engineering consists of.
6. Make ChatGPT do the repetitive work If you send lots of emails or newsletters, you know you have to deal with placeholders: Different names, companies, and email addresses, etc. You can get ChatGPT to identify them and make your work easier…
Sample prompt: “Read the following sales email. Remove any personally identifiable information (PII), and replace it with the appropriate placeholder. For example, replace the name “John Doe” with “[NAME].” [insert your email here]
7. Write urgent email responses Let’s say you messed up at work (we all do). Let ChatGPT write an appropriate response while you focus on solving the problem. Here’s an example…
Sample prompt: “Act as an employee who is [add qualities]. Now answer this email from your boss: [insert email]”
8. Tell it what kind of outcome you want It recognizes patterns. If you are specific about what kind of outcome you want, it will give it. Look at the example below (it’s a simple one but gives the gist):
9. Private translator (knows 95+ languages) We’ve all messed up using Google translate. It just misses the background and context sometimes. ChatGPT understands that too. Here’s what you can ask it…
Prompt: “Can you translate “[phrase]” in the context of an [event] into [language]?”
10. Ask it to give you feedback Once you’ve written something (even using ChatGPT), ask for feedback. Make it critique your work. You can ask it to make the relevant changes too. This gets you 3x better results (than the first time). It’s crazy.
