ChatGPT Prompt Tips To Help You Master Any Subject
The following tips will help give you a competitive advantage with the latest version of ChatGPT…
Capture Your Writing Style
Feed GPT a few samples of your writing and ask it to create a style guide for future outputs.
Example prompt:
“Analyze the text below for style, voice, and tone. Using NLP, create a prompt to write a new article in the same style, voice, and tone: [insert your text or link to your writing]”
Content With A Purpose
Generate content with a specific goal in mind, telling GPT who your audience is, and what you want to achieve with your content.
Example prompt:
“Topic: How to grow your email list For audience: Social media users. Content goal: Motivate audience to feel excited about growing their email list while teaching them one tip.”
Expert Simulator
Ask GPT to play the role of a customer or skilled expert, and generate content as if it were that specific persona.
Example prompt:
“Act as a seasoned data scientist and guide me in writing a report that highlights the latest trends and predictions in the field of artificial intelligence. Provide me with unique insights and expert advice that will help me deliver high-quality, informative content to my audience.”
Unconventional Prompts
Try using prompts that are more open-ended or abstract to get unique and creative responses. You can unlock GPT’s creative potential in finding vivid language and unexpected topics.
Example prompt:
“Write a poem about content creation” or “Describe feeling like an digital marketer in 10 adjectives.”
Ultra-Brainstorming
Instead of asking GPT to generate a list of potential topic ideas for your next project or ask for new angles to cover a familiar topic.
Example prompt:
“Topic: Improving your copywriting skills. For the above topic, come up with new and innovative ideas that are out-of-the-box and unconventional.”
Challenge Mainstream Thought
Ask for examples that contradict the dominant narrative to seek out provocative angles that defy expectations and break the mold.
Example prompt:
“Give examples that contradict the ideas expressed on this webpage, and generate thought-provoking solutions: [insert webpage URL]”

Format Switch
Use GPT to write in different formats, such as outlines, mind maps, bullet points, persuasive essays, or chunks of text of less than 280 characters, using a specific structure.
Example prompt:
“Create a mind map on the topic of using Notion to stay organized as a content creator, listing out the central idea, main branches, and sub-branches.”
Human-Written Inspiration
Ask GPT to work according to information you’ve read elsewhere, like persuasive writing tips from a blog post.
