Most people talk to ChatGPT the way they text a colleague: they ask for something vague, get a vague answer back and conclude the tool is no use for their case. The problem is almost never the AI. It is the request.<\/p>\n
A prompt that works does three things a generic request does not. It gives context<\/strong> (who you are, what you sell, to whom), it defines the format of the answer<\/strong> (a list of five, a two paragraph text, a table) and it sets a constraint<\/strong> that keeps the clich\u00e9 away (“no jargon”, “no promising results”, “40 words maximum”). The prompts below already come with all three. You only change what is in brackets.<\/p>\n This is the fastest growing part of the catalogue, and not by chance: these are situations that come up every week and that stop a lot of people the moment they have to write.<\/p>\n Here ChatGPT is worth more as an idea partner than as a copywriter. It does not know your neighbourhood or who your customer is, so these prompts ask for that before suggesting anything.<\/p>\n These are the least exciting prompts on the list and probably the ones that change the most by the end of the month.<\/p>\n Answer the questions it asks.<\/strong> Several of these prompts start by asking for information. If you skip that part and say “just go ahead”, the answer comes back generic, because generic is the only thing possible without your data.<\/p>\n Ask for another go.<\/strong> The first answer is rarely the good one. “Make it shorter”, “make it less enthusiastic” and “give me three different versions” solve almost everything.<\/p>\n Read it before you send it.<\/strong> Nothing that comes out of an AI should reach a customer unread. That goes double for numbers, deadlines and anything with a price on it.<\/p>\n These twelve are a selection. The full list is in prompts for ChatGPT<\/a>, and if what you need is to generate an image rather than text, start with image prompts<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Twelve ready ChatGPT prompts in English, tested for people who sell, provide a service or work for themselves.
