When ChatGPT came in, I felt insulted as a creator and writer. I was not fond of ChatGPT, Bard (now Gemini), or any other tool. “Machines will never replace us!” I wanted to shout. Today, I still think AI tools won’t replace writers merely by writing ChatGPT prompts.
However, they can immensely help all our content creation and marketing tasks.
Start using Chat GTP as an intelligent marketing and writing assistant. Here are some basic but customized prompts to help you start. ChatGPT and other AI writing assistants prove a rule of thumb: “The better input, the better output.”
In this blog, we will learn how to start using ChatGPT, Gemini, or any other AI writing tool as your personal writing assistant.
How to Write Better ChatGPT Prompts
- Chat with GPT as with a person. Explain the details and feed it with information.
- Provide context and background. For example, don’t say:
How can I get ten blog post topics on content writing?
Instead, you need to say:
Suggest ten blog post topics that will tackle my ideal customer’s biggest pain points: lack of time, lack of writing ideas and lack of marketing budget to outsource writing. My ideal customer is a solopreneur who wants to use content to get leads but is unsure where to start.
- Always provide the exact role. For example, act as a content marketing expert.
- Give examples. That will help the bot better understand your request and the type of content you need.
- Edit ChatGPT prompts instead of writing new ones.
Use chained prompting
Instead of giving all instructions in one go, break them into steps. That way, the chatbot will better understand each task.
- If you do prompt revision, give specific input. Don’t say: Try again. Explain exactly how and what.
