Best ChatGPT Prompts for Copywriters and Marketers

ChatGPT Prompts for Copywriters and Marketers

Many people find it difficult to create good hints for ChatGPT.

They can open the chatbot and type something simple like “Write catchy content for my website about energy efficient homes.

But in the end, they usually receive banal answers, for example: “Welcome to our website. We have first-class, energy-efficient homes.

That content won’t convince anyone because it doesn’t take into account the key elements that make a ChatGPT copywriting prompts work well. The main components of a good prompt:

  • Length. Let ChatGPT know how much text you need. Do you want 500 words, 1000 words? If you’re not sure, you can search online for the recommended length for a sales page or any other content you’re writing.
  • Type of Content. Specify if it’s for a Facebook ad, an email campaign, a sales page, or something else.
  • Product or Service. Clearly state what the copy is promoting. Is it about insect repellent, a new gadget, or a custom writing service?
  • Target Audience. Describe who you’re trying to reach. Are they homeowners, parents, students, or maybe small business owners?
  • Tone of Writing. Decide whether you want to use a formal, professional tone or a more casual, conversational tone.
  • Call to Action. Be clear about what action you want readers to take after reading the copy. Should they buy the product, sign up for a trial, or contact you for more info?
  • Key Points. Mention any specific details or features you want ChatGPT to include in the text. This could be about the benefits of your services, special offers, or anything else relevant.

When you combine all of these components together, you get an effective ChatGPT copywriting prompt:

Write [length] [type of content] about [product or service] for [target audience] using a [tone of voice]. The call to action of the content is [call to action]. Make sure to highlight [key points or features to include].

Here are a few examples of how you can use ChatGPT to quickly and easily write your own text:

For Google Ads

Write a 90 characters description for Google Ads about resume and cover letter writing services for job seekers using a professional and serious tone. The call to action of the ad is to get clicks on the ad and transitions to our service page. Make sure to highlight the experience in providing resume writing services, confidentiality, quality and reliability of services.

For sales page

The call to action on the page is to sign up for a free trial online English course. Make sure to highlight that this online English course is a great way to learn speaking and listening skills, and after completing the course, expats will have the opportunity to get a higher-paying job.
