✅ Best Practices for Using ChatGPT

1. Start with a Clear Goal

• Think: “What do I want as an output?”
• Example: Instead of “Tell me about marketing,” say “Give me 3 marketing strategies for a new organic skincare brand.”

---

2. Be Specific

• Include important details like audience, tone, length, format, or constraints.
• Example: “Write a 100-word Instagram caption for a pizza shop targeting college students, using a fun tone.”

---

3. Give Context

• Tell me who you are, what you’re working on, or where this content will be used.
• Example: “I’m creating an FAQ for my DTC candle brand’s website.”

---

4. Use Structured Prompts When Appropriate

Recommended structure:

plaintextCopyEdit[Role or perspective] + [Task] + [Details] + [Goal/format]

Example:

“As a high school science teacher, create a simple explanation of climate change for 10th graders using a fun analogy.”

5. Iterate and Refine

• Ask for alternatives, rewrites, or to add/remove details.
• Use: “Make it more casual,” “Add a call to action,” “Shorten this to 2 sentences,” etc.

---

6. Use Follow-ups to Dive Deeper

• Ask for expansions, examples, visual formats, or content reuse.
• Example: “Turn that into a LinkedIn post.” or “Can you make a visual summary of that?”

---

7. Ask for Format-Specific Output

• Use phrases like:
  • “Make it a bullet list.”
  • “Write this like a tweet.”
  • “Turn this into an email subject line + body.”

---

8. Use “Act As” to Set Tone

• Try: “Act as a brand strategist,” “Act as a customer support expert,” or “Act as a 12-year-old explaining AI.”

---

9. Don’t Hesitate to Say What You Don’t Want

• Example: “Avoid jargon,” “Don’t sound too salesy,” “No emojis.”

---

10. If You’re Stuck, Ask for Suggestions

• “What are some good ways to ask you for help with ____?”
• “Give me prompt ideas to explore a brand strategy.”
