If you’ve tried using ChatGPT for marketing your coaching business and you ended up with mismatched answers, bad copy, and frustration, we feel you. We spent a great deal of time testing this tool to see how it can speed things up and solve problems for coaches.

ChatGPT can help you overcome writer’s block and generate endless ideas for your marketing campaigns — but only if you give it the right prompts. In this guide, we’ll break down the secret to crafting effective ChatGPT prompts for marketing and lead you through 90 concrete examples that you can start using right away for your coaching business.

What Are ChatGPT Prompts?

ChatGPT prompts are specific instructions or input provided to the ChatGPT AI tool to generate responses for you. These prompts might be:

• Questions you’re seeking answers to.
• Requests for pro-con lists to ease decision-making.
• Generating a list of ideas for content, channels, etc.
• Getting outlines for copy and long-form writing
• Receiving inputs for planning your marketing campaigns

If you want your ChatGPT prompts to work, you must clearly communicate your intent, ask specific questions, and provide additional context. The more detailed and concrete your prompt is, the more tailored and relevant the generated output will be.

For instance, if you want ChatGPT to help you write a marketing email for your coaching services, your prompt might include your target audience, the tone of voice you want to speak in, and specific details you want to highlight in your email. ChatGPT then generates a response based on your input and the data it was trained on.

So, how to use ChatGPT for marketing your coaching business? You can ask it to:

• Generate ideas for your marketing campaigns.
• Craft draft emails for your coaching clients.
• Get a list of subject line options for your email campaigns.
• Come up with new names for your coaching packages.
• Generate texts for your marketing ads.
• Create outlines for your blog articles.
• Write social media captions.
• Come up with new taglines for your website.
• Create a new structure for your website or marketing deck.
• Get new suggestions for workshop and webinar topics.
• Run research on topics that don’t require real-time data.
• Seek advice on solving specific problems.
• Generate new coaching questions to use in specific scenarios.
• Develop exercises to use with your coaching clients.

The Benefits of Using ChatGPT Prompts for Marketing Your Coaching Business

It Saves You Time (When Used Right)

Once you get the hang of it, ChatGPT can save you time by generating a long list of ideas in seconds. It can lay out the data and insights you need to make marketing decisions and get started with your copywriting process. It takes some time to learn how to use AI tools to automate marketing tasks, but by the time you get through this article, you’ll be armed with the know-how to do just that.

It Helps You Overcome Writer’s Block

There’s nothing worse than sitting in front of a blank page, not knowing where to start. A strong structure and outline for your posts and web pages can get you unstuck and make writing easier. ChatGPT can help you brainstorm that structure. Instead of creating content ideas or an article outline from scratch (which takes up a lot of brain space), you can ask your AI buddy to do it for you.

It’s a Free (or Low-Cost) Solution

ChatGPT-3.5 is free, and the 4.0 model is very affordable at $20 a month. You’ll never find a good virtual assistant for that money with unlimited ideas and 24/7 availability…

The Downsides of Using ChatGPT Prompts for Marketing Your Coaching Business

It’s Not Error-Free

ChatGPT isn’t perfect. You still need to run the texts it generates through a tool like Grammarly to avoid spelling mistakes and other errors. You need to fact-check what it suggests using reliable sources and make sure you cite proprietary concepts and ideas properly to avoid legal trouble. 

ChatGPT also often warns its users about the fact that it doesn’t read real-time data and that its last update (at the time of writing this article) was in September 2021. So basically, not much help with timely content pieces.

It Doesn’t Think Like a Human

ChatGPT is great at churning out data but lacks contextual thinking and emotional intelligence, which are crucial for great marketing. If you don’t edit what it suggests and think through your campaigns critically, AI-generated content can seriously damage your brand image. 

Low Ranking for Your SEO Campaigns

In the last few years, Google has become increasingly adamant about ranking content with expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness. Attributes you can’t really say about a chat app. 

This is especially true for legal and medical content, where misinformation can create a lot of damage (business and health coaches beware.) So, while we all wish ChatGPT could write articles like this for us while chilling on a beach, those margaritas have to wait.

How to Create Effective ChatGPT Marketing Prompts

Involve It in Your Thought Process

Thinking is tiring. Luckily, ChatGPT is always there to brainstorm with you. You can ask it to break down marketing processes for you, spill out new content ideas, and evaluate the pros and cons of a particular marketing initiative. You do need to take everything ChatGPT says with a pinch of salt, but it can give you an overview of things that will help you refine your marketing efforts.

Get Specific

One of the secret ingredients of engaging and impactful content is specificity. Generic and vague marketing messages are a turn-off for your target audience because they make it sound like you’re not speaking to them. The more specific your queries are, the better the ideas and texts will be in ChatGPT’s responses.

For example, if you’re just asking for a generic post for your social media, it will be nothing short of blah.

Whereas, if you specify the topic you want to write about, your caption will be tailored accordingly.

We’re still not winning a Pulitzer prize for this, but at least our caption stayed on the story, and we have a few more tricks up our sleeves to make it better. Keep reading.

Share All Relevant Details

The more ChatGPT knows about your campaign, the better it will be able to tailor its suggestions to it. You can let the AI model know about…

• Format: Define whether it’s a social media post, article outline, tagline, or email template you need.
• Length: How many words should your email be? How many title suggestions do you need?
• Target audience: Who is your campaign addressing? What pain points does your product solve for them?
• Your brand and services: What’s your specialization as a coach and what services do you offer? What product does your current campaign revolve around?

These details are worth laying out beforehand for your campaign anyway, and if you do, it will help ChatGPT give you better responses, too.

Train it on Your Brand Voice

Tonality isn’t really relevant for generating ideas and getting some perspective for planning, but it is for your copy. In most cases, the problem isn’t with the factual information ChatGPT suggests but with the tone in which it communicates. You can give it inputs on your tone of voice to describe its characteristics.

• Is your brand voice humorous or serious?
• Is it formal or casual?
• Irreverent or respectful?
• Matter-of-fact or enthusiastic?

Tonality and personal writing style are the hardest for ChatGPT to learn, but the model is constantly improving. Iit’s always worth giving it instructions on how it should phrase things.

Besides describing your brand voice, you can also give ChatGPT examples of your previous writing (or your competitor’s) that best resembles what you’re looking for.

Revise

Working with ChatGPT is a lot about trial and error. While the below prompts will give you a huge head start, you probably still need to tweak them here and there to get the results you’re looking for.

The AI tool generates unique real-time responses, meaning it never gives the same answer to you or me. If you feel like its output is not quite it, you can:

1. Edit your prompt to be more specific about what you want.
2. Ask ChatGPT to regenerate its response, aka tell the same thing differently.
3. Type “continue” to ask for more details on the subject that hasn’t been shared before.
