Prompt Drop: Turn AI Into Your Marketing Coach One of the biggest mistakes people make with AI is treating it like a yes-man. They ask, "What do you think of this?" and AI says, "Looks great!" That's not helpful. If you want better marketing, you don't need constant reassurance. You need someone who's willing to poke holes in your ideas before you spend time creating them. The cool part? AI can do that... if you tell it to. Instead of asking it to create content for you, ask it to think like a strategist. Have it challenge your assumptions. Point out weak spots. Tell you what isn't clear. Push you to make a good idea even better. I've caught weak hooks, confusing calls to action, and messaging that was way too broad just by having AI critique my work before I hit publish. 🤖 Try this prompt: I want you to act as my marketing coach and strategist, not my assistant. Your job is to challenge my thinking instead of agreeing with me. Every time I share a content idea, ad, offer, caption, or marketing plan, analyze it critically. Tell me what isn't working, what's unclear, what objections my audience might have, what opportunities I'm missing, and how I can make it stronger. Don't sugarcoat your feedback or tell me something is good unless you genuinely believe it is. Ask follow-up questions whenever you need more context before giving advice. The best part? This works for way more than content. You can use it to pressure test offers, sales pages, lead magnets, email campaigns, ad copy, pricing, and just about any marketing decision you're trying to make. 💬 Challenge: Copy this prompt into a new chat and have AI critique one piece of your marketing. Come back and share the biggest improvement it suggested. I'd love to see what it catches.

One of the hardest parts about marketing your own business is that you're too close to it. You know your offer so well that your brain automatically fills in the gaps. Your audience doesn't. That means your website, sales page, or even your social media might feel perfectly clear to you while your ideal customer is quietly thinking: - "Wait... what do they actually do?" - "Is this for someone like me?" - "What happens after I book?" - "Why should I choose them over someone else?" The scary part? Most people won't ask those questions. They'll just leave. This prompt helps you step into your customer's shoes and uncover the friction that's costing you inquiries. Try this prompt: Pretend you are my ideal customer. Based on the following website/business description, tell me your honest first impression. What feels confusing? What questions would stop you from buying? What objections would you have? What information is missing? What would make you trust me enough to take the next step? Be brutally honest, but constructive. Paste your website copy, homepage, offer page, Instagram bio, or business description here. Once AI gives you its feedback, don't stop there. Ask follow-up questions. Have a conversation. The more context you give it, the more valuable the feedback becomes. 💬 Challenge: Run this prompt today and share the biggest blind spot you discovered. I have a feeling a lot of us will have the same "I can't believe I never noticed that!" moment.

Some of you who are linked to me on FB may hav seen that I started a 30 day nostalgia challenge. In 7 days my viewership has increased by 234% and I haven't done a single video yet. I generally average about 70k views a month and am on track right now for about 230K views. While views dont' generally pay the bills, it does lead to opportunities by being visible when I do post about my business(es) I hate to direct you to mutliple locations but I wrote an article on why Pop Culture works and started this challenge several weeks later. This isn't just a theory this is true framework that I've used to build my businesses through social media. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-pop-culture-makes-usrelatable-why-your-business-should-murakami-bg6fc/?trackingId=l81%2BGpyJs6xCUCnNkvmCYg%3D%3D Attached is the 30 day challenge if you'd like to try for yourself. If you do run this, I'd love to hear about your results

One of the biggest mistakes I see people make with AI is expecting it to magically know how they talk. It doesn't. AI only knows what you teach it. If you open a brand new chat and ask it to write an Instagram caption, it's going to pull from patterns it has seen across millions of pieces of content. That's why everything starts to sound... kind of the same. But here's the good news. The more context you give AI about you, the better it gets. When you teach it your personality, your values, your sense of humor, the words you naturally use, and even the phrases you avoid, your content starts sounding like it actually came from you. That means less rewriting, less frustration, and way less time staring at your screen thinking, "Why would I ever say it like that?" I spent a lot of time teaching ChatGPT how I naturally communicate, and now I'd guess I only edit about 10 to 20% of what it gives me instead of rewriting everything from scratch. Try this prompt in a fresh chat: I want you to become my personal writing assistant. Interview me one question at a time until you deeply understand how I naturally communicate. Learn my personality, sense of humor, sentence structure, favorite words, words I avoid, values, beliefs, audience, communication style, and brand voice. Ask follow-up questions whenever needed. Once you've gathered enough information, create a detailed writing style guide you will use for every future piece of content we create together. Don't generate the style guide until you've finished interviewing me. 💬 Your challenge: Run this prompt today. When you're finished, come back and tell us one thing AI learned about your voice that surprised you. I'll go first!

Most business owners introduce themselves like this: “Hi, I’m Sarah. I’m a coach. I help women feel confident.” And listen, that is fine. But it does not always make people stop and think, “Wait, I need to keep following this person.” Your audience does not just need your job title. They need context. They need to know: - Why you do what you do - What you actually understand about them - Why your approach is different - What kind of problem you can help them solve Your story does not need to be dramatic to matter. It just needs to help people connect the dots between who you are and why they should trust you. Today, we are going to use AI to turn your basic “about me” into a better social media post. Copy and paste this prompt into ChatGPT or my preference Claude: I want to create an “about me” social media post that helps my audience connect with me and understand what I do. Here is my information: - My name: - My business: - What I do: - Who I help: - Why I started doing this work: - A personal experience that shaped my business: - What I believe my audience needs to hear: - What makes my approach different: - What I want to be known for: - My brand voice/personality: - What I want people to do after reading: Please turn this into a social media post that feels human, clear, and not overly polished. Give me 3 versions: 1. A short version 2. A storytelling version 3. A version that starts with a strong hook Also give me 5 first-line hook options. Bonus prompt: After ChatGPT gives you the post, ask: “Can you make this less generic and more specific to my audience’s real struggles?” That second prompt is where the good stuff usually starts showing up. Because the first version might be polite. The second version usually starts getting a little spicy. Your action step: Create your “about me” post and share your favorite hook in the comments. Remember: people do not connect with perfect. They connect with clear, honest, and specific.
