is skipping customized chat gbt and the Customs instructions box it's one of chat gbt's most powerful features and here's the mistake that people make they either skip it all together or the information they give is not specifically good now what happens here is when you click on customize chat gbt it opens up a modal window and you can enter in some information about yourself where you can be hyper specific talking about your background who you are and who you're writing for and then there's also the second box which asks you how you'd like chat gbt

to respond now this is where it can get a little bit confusing and people aren't quite sure what to put in here well think of this second box more of like a tone of voice you can tell chat gbt to respond like a coach being encouraging you can ask it to respond concisely you can ask it to respond in bullet points and you can even get it to respond in the tone of your favorite author or of an online creator that you like and if you're still stuck here you can actually go into chat gbt

and ask it to analyze the writing style of an author or someone that you admire online and then paste this into the response box once you've saved this anything you type in impr prompt chat gbt with will take these things into consideration and output in this stylum format that's personalized to you the next big mistake that I see people making all the time is about coding now I get it coding can seem a little bit intimidating especially if you studied something like medicine or social sciences in University but guess what chat gbt can actually write

really good lines of code for you and you don't even need to fully understand how it works I've done this myself and it can help you push out lines of code that you can then put into your webflow website or help you to decipher things like scripts for Google Docs that can really help you and boost your productivity a quick example might be getting chat GPT to write an audio recording script that you can embed into your website so that people can actually record their own audio and Export it as an MP3 file or you

could ask it to write a quick script for Google Docs that helps to build a summarization template before and after any meetings to save you time in work this next mistake is pretty important because it's just so common and it's expecting Perfection from chat gbt on your first try chat gbt is awesome but it's not completely magic just yet asking for a response and then expecting it to be completely fless on the first try is going to lead to failure and frustration you need to refine those prompts and you need to ask it multiple questions

to to get pack what you want and here's a really quick hack that you can use that will save you tons of time if getting the best prompt and response is really important to you we can head back over to customize chat gbt and in the response box we can put in after I enter a prompt or instruction ask me three questions that would improve your response what this will do is that every time you input something into chat gbt it will actually check its understanding and will ask you further questions to make sure it's

got all the information before it then outputs a response if you don't want this to happen every single time you can just put this in at the end of any specific individual prompt that you enter into chat gbt and see what happens I find that for people just starting out this is a great hack and it avoids you getting frustrated when you're giving too broad a prompt and then get frustrated with the results now this mistake is really common and it's actually about putting in too much information into one single prompt the Temptation is always

there you want to give gbt all of the context and you want to upload as many documents as possible but what actually ends up happening is it overwhelms chat gbt with too much at once and then the result is generic shallow answers instead your input needs to be broken up into smaller more manageable chunks let's say for example you want to construct a business plan instead of asking for a full strategy in one go ask for individual components such as build out a marketing strategy or build out a sales strategy first rather than expecting it

to to Output everything all at once the context window also limits this because the response you get back is going to be slightly Limited in terms of the size that chat gbt can output so try and focus on manageable chunks that chat gbt can respond with and then build up your document from there now mistake number five is only using chat gbt for summaries don't get me wrong summaries are super helpful and I use it all the time but why should we stop there instead of getting a summary use chat gbt to extract actionable insights

for example if you're reading an article on holiday shopping Trends don't just ask for a summary try asking how can I apply these Trends to boost my brand awareness as a marketing manager now instead of just a rehash of the article you actually get personalized actionable strategies based on your real world goals that you can then put into action mistake number six that people don't even realize they're making is not using personas chat gbt works so much better when you give it a specific role to play this could be anything from being a life coach

to being an expert blog writer with 10 years of experience and why does this work well it helps chat gbt tailor its responses to fit that Persona that you've asked it to adopt giving you more relevant expert-like answers so next time try this act as a productivity expert for work give me five ways to streamline my daily workflow you'll be amazed at just how much more specific and useful the outputs you get are now mistake number 7 is something really important but it's one I see people doing all the time and it's not using examples

when prompting I get it we all want to get responses back from chat GPT in the quickest and shortest time possible but if you take the time and upload an example output of what you want your results will 10x in terms of quality for example if we want to generate a good LinkedIn post from a longer blog article instead of just saying generate a LinkedIn post and then having a variable result we you can actually take a format of LinkedIn post that we know works well with a particular structure and use this as an example

asking chat gbt to Output against this particular template but change up the content within it I've actually created a gbt to do this to automate all of my LinkedIn post and it's been an absolute Game Changer because I know the results will be consistent okay so we're not done just quite yet I want to give you two quick bonus prompts to add into the seven mistakes that you've already heard so mistake number number eight is actually not downloading the chat gbt app on mobile or the desktop app on your computer these have slightly better functionality

in terms of voice and allow you to access chat gbt on the go more effectively I've been using them all the time and with chat gbt 4 Vision you can actually take something like a screenshot of your desktop and have it analyzed by chat gbt or more recently when I was out at the shops I took a screenshot of a bunch of different wines and asked chat gbt to recommend one against some of the favorite ones I've ever had this gives you access to chat gbt in a much more free and flexible way and you're

able to use the vision and speech Tools in a much more accessible way now our final mistake on the list is all about not keeping up with the latest AI Trends and therefore getting the most out of chat GPT I've got a huge Bank of over a th000 prompts available completely for free which you can find in the link below attached to my newsletter by trying out some of these prompts and experimenting you'll slowly get better at prompt engineering and understand how chat gbt works and the fullest extent of its capabilities this then means that

when you need it the most you can use it effectively and save you tons of time in work or at home and focus on the things that matter in life now I hope you've enjoyed today's video I've got another great video looking at how you can get the most out of chat gbt with some more specific prompts which will pop up over here thanks so much for watching and subscribing and I'll catch you again in the next video see you
