Boost Your Input for Elevated Outputs

Introduction

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past year, the rise in popularity of Ai, in particular Chat GPT will not have escaped you. Maybe you’ve logged on, tried to ask a few ambiguous questions, and then logged out just as quickly because the answer sounds altogether too much like a robot? You’re not alone.

The answers you get on Chat GPT depend on the quality of the prompt you input. In the following list, I have detailed some tried and tested prompts to help use social media, to market your business in a much better way.

Before you fall down this rabbit hole, heed my warning. The answers Chat GPT gives, should not simply be copied and pasted straight on to your next social media post. A few rules I stick to include using the answer as a jumping-off point to get the creative juices flowing and being mindful to check the spelling is anglicised (Z’s instead of S’s be gone!). Let’s get into these prompts.

Chat GPT prompts to improve your social media skills.
