Prompt - find angles your competitors missed

 

Use ChatGPT to find angles your competitors missed

Smart marketers don't just copy what competitors are doing. They use AI to find what competitors aren't doing.

Most competitive analysis stops at "what are they saying?"

The real opportunity is in the gaps — the angles they overlooked, the hooks they missed, the positioning they left on the table.

ChatGPT can spot these blind spots in minutes.

You are a marketing strategist. Analyze the competitor content below.

Step 1: Summarize the core angles, hooks, and messaging they are using.

Step 2: Identify 3 strong angles they missed that we could own.

Step 3: Explain why each missed angle matters to the audience and how we could use it to differentiate.

Competitor content:

Feed in their ads, landing pages, or email campaigns. You'll get a clear view of what they're emphasizing — and more importantly, what they're ignoring.

Prompt - turn engagement data into your next winning post

 

Use ChatGPT to turn engagement data into your next winning post

Smart marketers don't guess what content works. They use AI to let their data decide what to create today.

You've got two weeks of social media metrics sitting in your analytics. Instead of scrolling through dashboards wondering "what should I post next?", paste that data into ChatGPT and get your answer in 30 seconds.

Try this prompt:

You are my engagement analyst. I'll paste engagement data from the last 14 days across my socials.

1. Identify the top 3 patterns driving performance (topic, format, hook style, timing)
2. Tell me exactly what to double down on today  
3. Flag what to stop or tweak
4. Propose my next post: hook, angle, outline, and CTA

Context for analysis:
- Goals to bias toward: [e.g., reach, saves, replies, clicks]
- Audience: [brief descriptor] 
- Brand pillars/topics: [3-5 themes you cover]

Data format per post: platform | date/time | format | topic | hook | impressions | likes | comments | shares | saves | CTR

Here's my data:

Your next winning post is already in your metrics — you just need ChatGPT to surface the pattern.

Prompt - turn roadblocks into motivation

 

Use ChatGPT to turn roadblocks into motivation

Smart marketers don't grind through obstacles. They use AI to reframe them into fuel.

When you hit a wall with a project or campaign, most marketers just push harder.

But the smartest ones step back and change their perspective first. ChatGPT can be your mindset coach — helping you see obstacles as opportunities and turning frustration into momentum.

Try this prompt:

You are my motivational coach and strategic thinking partner.

Here's the hardest challenge I'm facing this week: [INSERT CHALLENGE]

Give me 3 sharp reframes that will shift my perspective and help me see this as an opportunity instead of a burden.

For each reframe:
- Explain the new perspective in 2-3 sentences
- Include one specific action I can take today that aligns with this mindset
- Keep it practical and motivating, not fluffy

Make these reframes feel real and actionable — I want to walk away energized, not just inspired.

You'll get three different angles that turn your biggest pain point into your next breakthrough.

Prompt - prep that improves every ChatGPT prompt

 

The 5-minute prep that improves every ChatGPT prompt

Smart marketers don't chase perfect prompts. They prep their inputs.

Most people jump straight into ChatGPT and wonder why the output feels generic or off-target.

The issue isn't your prompting skills. It's that AI can only work with what you give it.

Five minutes of setup before you prompt will double your results every time.

Before prompting, gather these 4 inputs:

  1. GOAL: What specific output do I need? (email, strategy, analysis, etc.)

  2. CONTEXT: What should ChatGPT know?

    • Target audience details

    • Key constraints or requirements

    • Relevant background info or examples

  3. FORMAT: How should this look?

    • Length (word count, bullet points, etc.)

    • Style/tone needed

    • Structure preferences

  4. SUCCESS CRITERIA: What makes this usable?

    • Must include specific elements

    • Should avoid certain things

    • Ready to use without major edits

Then use this prompt structure:

You are my [role]. I need help creating [specific deliverable].

Context: [paste your background info, audience details, examples]

Output should be [format, length, style requirements].

Make sure it [your success criteria].

Better inputs = better outputs. Every time.

Prompt - brief your way to better prompts

 

Use ChatGPT to brief your way to better prompts

Smart marketers know great work starts with great briefs. The same rule applies to AI.

Most prompts fail because they skip the fundamentals: clear goals, defined audience, success metrics. The best marketers approach prompts like creative briefs — with structure that drives results, not just responses.

Try this prompt:

You are my briefing partner. Help me turn my idea into a sharp prompt by clarifying these:

1. What's the end goal of this prompt?
2. Who is the audience or reader?
3. What format should the output take?
4. What context, constraints, or tone matter here?
5. What does success look like for this output?

Once I answer, rewrite my responses into a clear, structured prompt I can use.

You'll transform scattered thoughts into focused prompts that actually deliver what you need.

Prompt - polish emails for tone, clarity, and compliance

 

Use ChatGPT to polish emails for tone, clarity, and compliance

Smart marketers don't send risky first drafts. They use AI to catch what they missed.

Most emails sit in your drafts folder because something feels off. Too casual for a client. Too vague for legal. Too long for anyone to actually read.

Instead of second-guessing yourself, let ChatGPT be your editor.

Try this prompt:

You are a senior communications specialist. Rewrite the email below for improved tone, clarity, and compliance.

Requirements:
- Keep the message clear and professional
- Adjust tone to be [choose: friendlier / firmer / more neutral]
- Ensure it meets [insert industry] compliance guidelines
- Remove jargon or overly casual language
- Cut unnecessary words

Email draft:

Provide the rewritten version plus a brief note on what you changed and why.

You'll get a polished email that hits the right tone and avoids costly mistakes.

Prompt - flip "me-focused" copy into customer-first messaging

 

Use ChatGPT to flip "me-focused" copy into customer-first messaging

Smart marketers don't wonder why their copy feels flat. They use AI to spot the real problem.

Most marketing copy accidentally talks about the company instead of to the customer. "We help..." "Our solution..." "We're excited to announce..."

Your audience doesn't care about you. They care about what you can do for them.

ChatGPT can act as your copy coach — flagging where you're talking about yourself instead of speaking to customer needs, then rewriting it to actually connect.

Try this prompt:

You are a copy coach. Review the copy below and highlight any sentences or phrases that are written about the company instead of to the customer.

- For each flagged section, explain why it's me-focused
- Suggest a rewritten version that speaks directly to the customer's needs, goals, or outcomes

Copy to review:
[PASTE COPY HERE]

Follow-up: Give me 3 variations of the rewritten copy so I can choose the best fit.

Use this on your emails, ads, and landing pages. You'll instantly spot where you lost focus and get copy that actually speaks to your audience.
