Copy
Have Chat write in your tone
ChatGPT possesses a powerful and often overlooked feature, which is the ability to learn and adapt to your unique writing style, allowing it to respond in a way that closely matches your tone and voice. Here is a prompt that can teach us how to use Chats’ tone-mimicking style.
"Analyze the following text for style and tone of voice. Apply that exact style and tone of voice to all your future responses: [insert your writing]."
Give Chat a piece of writing that is similar in style and length to the copy you are asking it to produce. It is recommended to use a sample that closely resembles the type of text you would like ChatGPT to produce, such as an actual email if you want it to generate an email.
Generate Ideas
Chat can be used to increase your inspiration for a task you regularly have to do. Here is an example of a prompt that can help with daily tasks.
Prompt:
Can you give me ideas for blog posts about real estate, perhaps covering topics such as buying, selling, investing, or managing property?
Chats reply:

Counter points
Let’s say you have an idea that you want to flush out more before you bring it to someone else. Asking Chat is a real option to make you more prepared for a real-world discussion about the idea. Here is an example
Prompt:
I am thinking about installing solar panels on my house, from the perspective of my partner tell me why I should not get the panels and develop counterpoints for each of those as well.
Chats reply:
Sure, here are some potential arguments against installing solar panels on your house, and counterpoints you could use to address each of them from your partner's perspective:
"Solar panels are too expensive and it's not worth the investment." Counterpoint: While it's true that there is an upfront cost associated with installing solar panels, the long-term savings on energy bills can outweigh that cost over time. Additionally, there may be government rebates or incentives available to help offset the initial investment.
"Our house doesn't get enough sunlight to make solar panels worthwhile." Counterpoint: Even if your house isn't in direct sunlight all day, there may still be enough sunlight exposure to make solar panels effective. A solar energy expert can help evaluate your home's potential for solar energy.
"Installation will be disruptive and damage our roof." Counterpoint: While there may be some disruption during installation, a reputable solar panel installer will take steps to minimize any damage and will ensure that the panels are installed safely and correctly.
"The maintenance and upkeep of the panels will be too time-consuming." Counterpoint: Solar panels require minimal maintenance, and any necessary upkeep is typically covered by a warranty or service agreement from the installer. Additionally, the potential energy savings from solar panels could outweigh any minor maintenance required.
"We may not live in this house long enough to see a return on our investment." Counterpoint: While it's true that the upfront cost of solar panels may take some time to recoup through energy savings, solar panels can increase the resale value of a home and may make it more attractive to potential buyers.
Improve everything
If you are searching for improvements on any of your ideas why not ask Chat for starters? Of course, in this example, Chat doesn’t know anything about my specific situation because I didn’t tell it, but that data could be included in the prompt if needed.
Prompt:
Can you provide suggestions for how I can improve the health of my garden?
Chats reply:
Certainly, here are some suggestions for improving the health of your garden:
Test and amend the soil: Conduct a soil test to determine the pH level and nutrient content of your soil. Based on the results, you can amend the soil with organic matter, compost, or other fertilizers to improve its health and fertility.
Mulch regularly: Applying a layer of mulch around your plants can help retain moisture in the soil, regulate soil temperature, and reduce weed growth. Additionally, as the mulch breaks down, it can add nutrients to the soil.
Water appropriately: Proper watering is crucial for plant health. Depending on the type of plants you have, they may require different amounts of water at different intervals. Avoid over-watering or under-watering, as both can be harmful to your plants.
Use natural pest control methods: Instead of using harsh chemicals to control pests in your garden, consider using natural methods such as companion planting, introducing beneficial insects, or using organic pesticides.
Rotate crops: Planting the same crop in the same spot year after year can deplete the soil of nutrients and increase the likelihood of disease and pest problems. To avoid this, rotate your crops each year to give the soil a chance to recover and reduce the risk of disease and pest issues.
Prune regularly: Pruning your plants can help promote healthy growth, increase air circulation, and reduce the risk of disease. Remove any dead or diseased branches, and prune back overgrown or leggy growth to encourage bushier, healthier growth.
Plant native species: Planting native species in your garden can help support local wildlife, as well as ensure that the plants are well-adapted to the climate and soil conditions in your area. This can lead to healthier, more resilient plants that require less maintenance over time.
Copy is the easiest thing for AI and people to work with, it can give you huge time savings and clear, detailed responses to certain prompts. The only time waster in the process is knowing what to ask. Here are a few of our favorite prompts to help you with your work. In this section, we are using ChatGPT for all of our prompts but other Large Language Models still work on similar principals.
This section was largely gathered from Learn Prompting. We would highly recommend visiting this resource for more information and a more detailed look at the subject.
Cite sources
Chat can be used to build your bibliography or any form of citation you need. For this instance we had it write an article about the 2020 election that is not mentioned in this section.
Prompt:

Brainstorming
let’s say you are looking for ideas to improve your business but you don’t know where to start. Let’s ask Chat.
Prompt:
Can you provide five plausible ideas for advertising concepts that a local contractor could have to grow their client base?
Chats reply:
Certainly, here are five advertising concepts that a local contractor could consider to grow their client base:
Social media advertising: Use social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to advertise your services to potential clients in your area. You can target specific demographics and geographic locations to reach your ideal clients.
Local newspaper ads: Place ads in local newspapers or community newsletters to reach potential clients in your area. These ads can include information about your services, prices, and contact information.
Direct mail marketing: Send out postcards or flyers to homeowners in your area to advertise your services. You can include a special promotion or offer to incentivize them to contact you.
Vehicle wraps: Wrap your work vehicle with your company logo, contact information, and a list of your services. This turns your vehicle into a mobile billboard, which can help you reach potential clients wherever you go.
Referral program: Offer current clients a discount or other incentive for referring new clients to your business. This can help you build a loyal client base and encourage word-of-mouth referrals, which can be an effective and cost-efficient way to grow your business.
Summarization
If you have a section of writing that is unnecessarily long and wordy but you need to understand the message Chat can help with that. Here is our favorite prompt for summarization. Of course, if you add on more stipulations it can produce a more specific answer, such as asking for bullet points or a specific word count.
