Most people use ChatGPT to write content from scratch every single time. That's the slow way. The faster play is to create one solid piece, then use ChatGPT to repurpose it into everything else. Here's the simple version. Start with your best asset — a blog post, a long email, a webinar transcript, even a detailed voice note you've transcribed. The key is that it already contains your real thinking, not a generic outline. Then work in passes. First pass: ask ChatGPT to pull out the five to seven core ideas as standalone points. Second pass: take each idea and ask for a short social post in your voice — this is where Custom Instructions earn their keep. Third pass: ask it to draft a follow-up email that ties two or three of those ideas together. The reason this works is that you're not asking ChatGPT to be original. You're asking it to reformat thinking that's already good — and that's the job it's genuinely reliable at. One caveat: always do a read-through before anything goes out. ChatGPT will occasionally flatten your sharpest line into something safe. Your edit is what keeps it sounding like you. Hope that helps. Jason 🙌

One of the most common frustrations I see in here is that ChatGPT writes well, but it does not write like you. Everything comes out a bit polished and generic, and you end up rewriting half of it anyway. The fix is simpler than most people expect. Instead of describing your style in words, you show it. Grab three or four things you have already written that sound like you. Emails, posts, a page from your website, anything in your natural voice. Paste them in and give ChatGPT this job: "Study these samples and describe my writing style back to me. Cover tone, sentence length, how formal or casual I am, words and phrases I lean on, and how I open and close. Turn it into a short style brief I can reuse." Read what it gives you and correct anything that feels off. Now you have a style brief written in your own voice. From then on, you paste that brief at the top of any writing task: "Write this in the style described below," then the brief, then the task. The output lands much closer to how you actually sound, so you spend your time refining instead of rewriting from scratch. If you use Custom Instructions or a Project, drop the brief in there once and it applies automatically. Have you tried getting ChatGPT to match your voice yet? What has worked, and where does it still fall down? Drop it below.

Hi, Folks! I've heard about "chat gpt's commands", something like commands to make ChatGPT a superbe tool. Who can give more info about those "commands"? Thx

Most people open ChatGPT, fire off a prompt, get an OK answer, and move on. The thing that quietly separates the people getting incredible results from everyone else isn't a secret prompt — it's that they spent 5 minutes on Custom Instructions and never had to repeat themselves again. Custom Instructions sits in your settings. It's two text boxes ChatGPT reads silently before every reply, in every chat. Set it up once and the model already knows who you are and how you want to be answered. Here's the 5-minute setup that actually moves the needle: Box 1 — "What would you like ChatGPT to know about you?" Drop in three things: what you do, who you serve, and what you're working on right now. Example: "I run a SaaS business in customer support automation. My audience is small-business owners and marketing teams. I'm focused on growth and content right now." Skip hobbies and personal trivia — keep it work-focused. Box 2 — "How would you like ChatGPT to respond?" This is where most people leave money on the table. Tell it the tone, the format, and the things you don't want. Example: "Be direct and concise. Skip disclaimers and preambles. When I ask for copy, give me three variations. When I ask strategy questions, push back if my thinking is weak. Use plain English, not corporate-speak." Save it, open a new chat, ask the same question you've been asking for weeks. The difference is immediate. Two things to watch out for: don't stuff it with everything you can think of (the model weighs it heavier than you'd expect, and bloated instructions make answers worse not better), and revisit it every couple of months as your work shifts. What's in your Custom Instructions right now? Drop a line or two below — happy to suggest tweaks. Jason 🙌

I got this from the Discord app, and this may be the best prompt I've seen so far. It asks ChatGPT to revise the prompt you want to get the best possible answer. It's gonna blow your mind! Copy and paste or type this in: I want you to become my Prompt Creator. Your goal is to help me craft the best possible prompt for my needs. The prompt will be used by you, ChatGPT. You will follow the following process: 1. Your first response will be to ask me what the prompt should be about. I will provide my answer, but we will need to improve it through continual iterations by going through the next steps. 2. Based on my input, you will generate 3 sections. a) Revised prompt (provide your rewritten prompt. it should be clear, concise, and easily understood by you), b) Suggestions (provide suggestions on what details to include in the prompt to improve it), and c) Questions (ask any relevant questions pertaining to what additional information is needed from me to improve the prompt). 3. We will continue this iterative process with me providing additional information to you and you updating the prompt in the Revised prompt section until it's complete. Keep revising until you're happy with it, then simply copy and paste the revised prompt into a new chat. Watch the magic! You'll have some fun with this one. 😉
