7 Simple But Potent ChatGPT Prompts For Creators

Ahoy, Digital Writers!

We have a firm belief here at Write With AI:

Thoughtful, instructional, in-depth prompts generate the most useful output.

But we’ve learned...

You can also be a Prompt Sniper—and write simple, direct, and pointed requests (and still get meaningful results).

Simplicity Is Velocity

Today we want to introduce you to Charles Miller: Copyblogger Academy CMO and personal branding expert.

Charles went from being an Uber driver with $0 in the bank and 3 failed e-commerce businesses to making a top 1% income doing what he loved most (writing). In 2 years, he helped his clients gain over 1,000,000 followers and make over $10,000,000.

He is known for simple, short, and powerful writing (his prompts are no different).

But don't be fooled—because the simple thing is the hard thing.

7 Simple ChatGPT Prompts For Creators

The idea that AI has made creatives obsolete is ridiculous.

But there's a kernel of truth: AI does make our jobs a bit easier.

I’ve tried 500+ content creation prompts for ChatGPT. 99% of them were useless. 7 of them were incredible. (I use the 7th one the most.)

Here they are:

1. Post Finishing

Start writing your post, then let ChatGPT finish it.

The most common way I do that is by writing lists and telling it to add more things that fit on the list.

Example:

"I just wrote the start of this post:

{The post}

Add 5 more list items that match the sentiment and formatting of the post, then finish with a short, impactful concluding line."

Adjust that prompt for different post-finishing tasks you might need (you won't always need more list items).

Then edit and publish.

2. Post Remixing

Past posts from you and other creators are great because, if they got good engagement, they've been validated already.

But you can't copy those posts, and if they're from another creator, you need to make them significantly different.

Example:

This post did well:

{The post}

Tell me the core emotional angle that made it do well, then write me 5 posts that are from that same angle but distinctly different from the original.

See what it gives you, then either edit one of those or let it inspire you to create something new.

3. Topic Generation

This is a broad category that covers dozens of similar prompts.

You can ask ChatGPT to give you topic ideas about your broad niche, smaller niches within it, specific ideas, and more.

Examples:

"Give me 20 post ideas about marketing."

"Give me 20 post ideas about cognitive biases in marketing."

"Give me 10 surprising statistics about cognitive biases in marketing that I could write a post about."

If one of the ideas is good, use it.

If not, ask for more or be more specific in your prompt.

4. Post Research
