Not a day goes by without marketers sharing how ChatGPT makes their job easier. Many marketers, like content writers, social media experts, and email specialists, have been utilizing ChatGPT daily. Inputting great prompts into ChatGPT, a practice often dubbed as ‘prompt engineering,’ is critical to getting the best responses from ChatGPT.

In this post, we’ve compiled 200 ChatGPT marketing prompts to inspire your creativity.

Let’s get started.

What Is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot trained on several human data. Developed by OpenAI and launched in November 2022, this technology is built on the Generative Pre-trained Transformer family of OpenAI. Its goal is to understand your prompts and answer questions in a human-like way.

Making ChatGPT a part of your AI marketing arsenal has excellent benefits but also some significant challenges.

Benefits Of Using ChatGPT

Whether you want to brainstorm or need a cost-effective solution with plugin access, ChatGPT has it. Below are some benefits of using ChatGPT:

ChatGPT Is Cost Effective

ChatGPT is free, making it a cost-effective solution for businesses that want to automate specific tasks and operate on a minimal budget.

That said, you can get more accurate responses and functionalities by opting for ChatGPT Plus. This costs $20 per month, giving you access to the GPT-4 model, a faster and larger language model from OpenAI.

ChatGPT Offers Access To 70+ Plugins

ChatGPT Plus supports 70+ plugins. For instance, the SpeechKI plugin lets marketers turn text into audio using AI-powered voiceovers. You can use this to spin your content or ChatGPT-generated content into podcasts, Instagram reels, and summaries of articles and reports.

ChatGPT Is Great For Brainstorming

There’s no such thing as writer’s block with ChatGPT. Give ChatGPT a prompt, and it will return ideas you can tweak.

These are significant benefits of using ChatGPT. But does it have challenges? There are a few you should consider.

Challenges To Using ChatGPT

One of ChatGPT’s core challenges is incorrect responses. Its founder, Sam Altman, has cautioned users about this. In Sam’s words, “Fun, creative inspiration; ChatGPT is great! Reliance for factual queries; not such a good idea.”

The ambiguities and inaccurate responses to questions are only a start. Here are other challenges to consider when using ChatGPT as a marketer:

Potential Damage To Brand Image

Publishing ChatGPT-generated content without reviewing it is a recipe for attracting negative PR. The first AI-written article by Men’s Journal is an example. Men’s Journal claimed they reviewed this article.

That turned out incorrect because experts spotted inaccuracies in the original piece.

After lots of public backlash, Men’s Journal rewrote the article. But what’s done is done. Rewriting the article doesn’t undo the negative publicity.

Risk Of Low Ranking

As the usage of ChatGPT surged in November 2022, Google included ‘experience’ in its E-A-T guidelines in December of the same year. This new update placed experience before expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness.

What does this suggest? Articles of experienced authors may rank higher than those without experience. ChatGPT doesn’t have experience. The implication is blog content created with ChatGPT may not rank on top of Google.

Legal Issues

ChatGPT gets its output from existing content. Using this output for channels like your blog could cause copyright infringement and lawsuits.

AI companies like Stability AI, Midjourney, and DeviantArt are currently in a legal tussle with artists who accused them of mass copyright infringement. These companies deal with images, but the same could happen with text, and you don’t want your company getting caught in a legal crossfire.

Now that you know the benefits and challenges of using ChatGPT, let’s explore a few ways you can become a better prompt engineer.

Improving Prompts for ChatGPT

ChatGPT can provide better responses if you improve the quality of your prompts. Here are some ways to do this:

Ask ChatGPT To Respond With A Specific Tone

Defining how you want ChatGPT to respond is an excellent way to get a response that may be useful.

For instance, below is ChatGPT’s response when I asked it to write a one-minute script highlighting the time-saving capability of the CoSchedule Marketing Suite.

Not bad, right? However, this response could be better if we specify our tone.

For instance, we can modify our prompt by asking ChatGPT to include humor in the script.

Now that looks a lot better!

Train ChatGPT

ChatGPT tries to understand prompts before producing a string of words that answers your question best. Meaning, you need to give ChatGPT a heads-up about what you do and what you want to achieve with it. This will prime ChatGPT to provide the best possible answers to your questions.

Here’s an example of a prompt that trains ChatGPT on what I want:

“I’m a content strategist for a business-to-business software company. I was recently hired to create a content strategy for my new company. Let me know if you understand my request.”

Source

Not only will ChatGPT learn from this simple prompt, but it will also remember this information when asked future questions in this thread.

Request Questions From ChatGPT

ChatGPT isn’t a tool that only spits responses; it can also ask questions. When prompting ChatGPT to ask questions, be ultra-specific and give ChatGPT enough context.

Here’s an example based on the last prompt:

“That is correct. This content strategy will be for a software product that helps sales teams to perform optimally. The product is similar to Gong (https://www.gong.io/product/). Now, can you share some high-level questions that will help me create a useful content strategy for my company?”

As you can see, ChatGPT responded with ten bullet points containing questions. To get even more granular responses, you can refine ChatGPT’s output and create new questions based on each bullet point.
