The Art of Prompt Engineering
Experts call this new skill 'prompt engineering,' and it's the secret sauce to getting the most mileage out of ChatGPT. The businesses that ignore this will quickly find themselves with mediocre marketing materials. However, smart entrepreneurs who master prompting will be unbeatable in their industries.
We'll use smart prompts to create content across every major marketing category, building on our momentum as we go.
Content Marketing
Step 1: Brainstorm Topics
Content marketing is a fantastic way to position yourself as an expert in your field. However, creating all that content can be time-consuming. Here's how ChatGPT can help:
-
Brainstorm Topics:
Review the generated titles, pick the ones you like, and discard the rest. You can ask for more titles to build a comprehensive list.
-
Go to chat.openai.com.
-
Type: "Give me 20 unique article titles related to [your niche] in a clickbait style."
-
Example: "Give me 20 unique article titles related to child care in a clickbait style."
Step 2: Create an Outline
-
Create an Outline:
Review the outline, make necessary adjustments, and ensure it includes the sections you want.
-
Pick a title from your list.
-
Type: "Create an outline for an article titled '[your article title]' as a professional [your industry] expert and write it for [your target audience]."
Step 3: Write the Article
-
Write the Article:
Review the content, fix any factual errors, and personalize it with your own anecdotes.
-
Type: "Now write the article based on the outline you've created, in a casual, friendly tone. Insert personal anecdotes or stories if they help illustrate a point."
Social Media Marketing
Social media marketing can be daunting, but ChatGPT can help you come up with ideas and execute them effectively. We'll focus on short-form videos for platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, Pinterest, and LinkedIn.
Step 1: Brainstorm Topics
-
Brainstorm Topics:
Review the generated topics, and build a comprehensive list.
-
Type: "Help me brainstorm 10 topics for Instagram Reels (or YouTube Shorts, TikToks, etc.) I can make for my [business type]. They need to speak to [your target audience]."
Step 2: Write Scripts
-
Write Scripts:
Review the script, remove any unnecessary elements (like emojis), and tailor it to your style.
-
Pick a topic from your list.
-
Type: "Write a 15 to 30-second script for '[your topic]' with no intro or outro, just get right into it, and prioritize unique actionable tips in a high-energy, fun, casual tone."
Email Marketing
Email marketing works best with a two-pronged approach, often described as the "jab, jab, jab, right hook" method, where you send value-packed emails before a promotional one.
Step 1: Write Value-Packed Emails
-
Value-Packed Emails:
Review and personalize the email, ensuring it builds sufficient curiosity.
-
Use the content you've created with ChatGPT to inform your emails.
-
Type: "Why would [your target audience] want to read/watch/listen to [your content]? How to keep [related benefit]."
-
Follow up with: "Take that and write an email to [your target audience] letting them know I made this content and why they should consume it. Make it short, to the point, and fun, personable in tone, and build intrigue."
Step 2: Write Promotional Emails
-
Promotional Emails:
Review the generated email, make necessary adjustments, and personalize it with your own experiences.
-
Type: "Pretend you're an expert marketing copywriter specializing in persuasive emails. Using the PAS (Problem-Agitate-Solution) framework, write a sales email to [your target audience] about [your offer]. Include these benefits: [list benefits]. Make it friendly and helpful in tone, not too salesy. Use power words and avoid overused clichés. The call to action is [your call to action]."
Marketing your business with ChatGPT involves mastering prompt engineering to create high-quality content across various channels. By brainstorming effectively, creating detailed outlines, and writing engaging content, you can position yourself as an expert in your field. Use ChatGPT to generate social media scripts, email content, and more, ensuring that all your marketing efforts are cohesive and effective.
