Prompt Like a Pro: How to Get Better Results from ChatGPT in Minutes

Prompt like a pro blog

If you’ve ever typed something into ChatGPT and thought, “That’s… okay, I guess,” this post is for you. In this power-packed session, I will break down exactly how to prompt like a pro so your AI outputs go from meh to magnificent.

AI isn’t a trend...it’s a tool. But most people are using it wrong. Let’s change that today.

The Truth About AI Prompts

Most people approach ChatGPT with vague instructions and get equally vague results. The secret? Specific, structured prompts that guide ChatGPT to give you what you actually want.

If you’ve ever typed, “Write me a good Instagram caption,” and ended up disappointed — you’re not alone. AI isn’t a mind reader. It needs a clear job description and a well-defined goal.

The 3-Part Prompt Formula That Changes Everything

To get next-level responses, use this proven 3-part formula:

1. Role

Give ChatGPT a clear identity.

Example: Act as a conversion-focused copywriter with 15+ years of experience.

2. Context

Describe the situation, tone, brand voice, and audience.

Example: Create Instagram captions for women over 50 launching digital products.

3. Outcome

Be specific about what you want.

Example: Write 3 captions, 60–80 characters, that end with a question and include subtle urgency.

Example Strong Prompt:

As a conversion-focused copywriter who specializes in digital products, write 3 Instagram captions (60–80 characters) for my AI workshop launch targeting women over 50 who are nervous about being on camera. Include subtle urgency and end with a question.

High-Impact Use Cases for Smart Prompting

These smart prompting strategies work wonders across:

  1. Instagram captions that boost engagement

  2. Email sequences that drive opens and clicks

  3. Product outlines that are actually structured

  4. Lead magnet frameworks that convert

  5. Sales page copy that speaks directly to your audience

Plug-and-Play Prompts You Can Steal

Take a screenshot or save these for later. These are pure gold.

Email Nurture Sequence Prompt:

Act as an email marketing expert. Write a 5-email nurture sequence for my AI workshop targeting women over 50 who fear getting on camera. Use PAS (Problem, Agitate, Solve), and build anticipation for each next email.

Lead Magnet Prompt:

Act as a digital product creator. Outline a 5-page PDF titled “Create Your AI Twin” for women over 50 who don’t want to be on camera. Include an irresistible title, bullet points, 2–3 action steps per section, and a CTA that leads to my workshop.

Instagram Carousel Prompt:

Act as a viral content strategist. Create a 10-slide Instagram carousel on using Pinterest to sell digital products. Target women over 50. Include a scroll-stopping hook and one tip per slide. End with a CTA to save or share.

Advanced Prompting Techniques

These pro tips take things even further:

  1. Chain of Thought Prompting:

    “Think step-by-step to create a funnel for my course launch.”

  2. Persona Switching:

    “Now review this email as a skeptical customer. Identify 3 weak points.”

  3. Temperature Adjustments:

    “Be highly creative and unexpected. Avoid industry clichés.”

  4. Iterative Refinement:

    Don’t just accept the first draft — ask ChatGPT to revise, reformat, and tighten.

Customize ChatGPT for YOU

Don’t skip this step! Customize ChatGPT to act like your dream assistant:

  • Go to Settings → Customize GPT

  • Tell it what you do

  • Set your brand voice (friendly, direct, sassy, etc.)

  • Add quirks (like “Never use M-dashes”)

  • Give it your tone preferences and specialties

  • This setup will instantly level up your outputs — even with basic prompts.

❌ Stop Asking. Start Commanding.

Here’s your permission to drop the pleasantries. Phrases like:

  1. “Could you…”

  2. “Would you mind…”

  3. “Please create…”

These can weaken your prompts.

✅ Try this instead:

“Write a 3-part email sequence promoting my digital workshop.”

"Generate 5 hooks using curiosity and emotional triggers.”

ChatGPT is a tool, not a person. Speak like a CEO giving directions, not a kid asking for help.

Try This Wild Prompt (It Works)

Want a jaw-dropping plan for your business?

Use this exact prompt in ChatGPT-3.5 (Legacy) for strategic thinking:

“Based on everything you know about me, map out a month-by-month plan to make $1M in the next 12 months. Leave no detail out.”

Then sit back. You’ll get a full revenue map broken down by product, price, traffic source, funnel, and sales goal.
