Copywriting is arguably the most important skill you should learn in your professional life
0:06
Indeed, good copy not only helps you convince and build trust, but also create an emotional connection
0:12
In this video, I will show you how you can use chat GPT to improve your writing. Let's go
0:19
Hey, what's up everyone? Rani here. Welcome back to our channel. It's always a pleasure to spend some time with you. This is the place where we discuss Canva
0:28
but also all of the AI tools that will make you a better content creator
0:33
Today we'll talk about copywriting and how Chat GPT can help you become a better copywriter
0:40
I have prepared a little Canva presentation for you. I will show you in a minute how you can access that presentation
0:46
but basically it carries all the prompts that I'm going to be using today
0:50
So without further ado, let's jump into ChatGPT and start discovering these prompts to make you a better writer
0:58
All right, let's start with the prompt that will help you simplify a complex sentence
1:05
You want to make sure everybody can understand your writing and therefore you need to keep it simple
1:11
So I have this prompt right here and it goes like this. We phrase this so that an X year old can understand this sentence
1:20
And obviously, depending on like what kind of audience you're writing for, you will play with this X variable
1:27
Okay, so maybe it could be rephrased this so a 15 year old can understand a sentence or you could replace 15 year old for a third grader or fourth grader or a senior year student
1:38
It's really up to you. So let me show you how to use this prompt. So first I'm going to copy it from here and then head over chat GPT right here
1:47
I'm going to be using GPT4 just because I can. But this will obviously work with GPT 3.5 as well
1:54
So I'm going to just start by pasting my sentence. here and let's say a 10 year old okay and now I need my sentence obviously so I'm
2:02
going to paste it right here and I'm going to put my sentence in between these quotation marks so it understands chat GPT understands that is the sentence
2:11
it needs to rework so it goes like this rephrase this so a 10 year old can
2:15
understand this sentence and then I have a quite complex sentence that goes
2:19
like this I'm going to read it to you quickly factors like buyers in training data and potential misuse of synthetic media generated by NLP
2:27
systems raise important ethical considerations. Overall, responsible NLP will be crucial for
2:33
integrating these transformative technologies into daily life. So that is not a sentence a 10-year-old
2:39
would understand. I barely understand it. So yeah, let's simplify this. So let's see what
2:44
chat GPD comes up with after I use that prompt. So here is chat GPD's answer. Okay, let's
2:50
break this down for a 10-year-old. Sometimes the information we use to teach computers can have
2:56
mistakes or show favoritism. And when computers create fake videos or sounds, people might use them in bad ways
3:04
So it's really important to use computer language tools the right way, especially if we want to safely use these cool new tools in our everyday lives
3:13
So I think this did a great job at simplifying my sentence so that a 10 year old, I don't know if a 10 year old would understand favoritism, but the rest of the sentence was pretty clear to me
3:24
And I understand what bias means, and I understand why we need to pay attention to using these AI generative tools in an ethical way
3:33
So that was my first prompt. I do have a couple of alternatives to this prompt for simplifying your sentences
3:40
And the first one goes like this. Rewrite that sentence in layman's terms
3:45
Okay, layman is like people who are not an expert in anything, just like regular people
3:50
The second alternative you could try if you want to is make this sentence
3:54
easier to understand for non-expert. So these two alternatives will also give me simplified sentences
4:01
but I have to say that I prefer the first one, the one I showed you in action
4:05
because I can actually control the level of complexity of the sentence by adjusting the age of the potential listener
4:14
the potential reader of that sentence. All right, guys, let's move on to the second prompt
4:22
This one will either help you, make a sentence more formal or less formal
4:27
All right. So let's start with the less formal. The prompt goes like this
4:32
Transform this technical sentence into a casual explanation. So again, I'm going to copy this prompt
4:39
bring it to chat GPT, and then we'll be using an example. Okay, so I do have this conversation right here
4:45
You know what? I'm just going to continue my exploration of the prompts in the same conversation
4:50
So transform this technical sentence into a casual explanation. And then again, using my quotation mark, I'm going to paste my block of text right here
4:59
So let's discover this text together. A bit of context, it was me writing a reply to a brand who reached out to us via email
5:07
to potentially create a sponsored video on our channel. So my initial answer was something like this
5:15
We truly value your interests and recognize the importance of the dedicated video for your company
5:20
Be assured we are committed to delivering top-notch quality that resonate with
5:24
our audience and do our best to promote your product in our video
5:28
Alright, so that was a quite formal answer. And I do believe I did use chat GPT to make that quite corporate sounding
5:37
So now I want to make this more casual, more like a conversation
5:41
So let's see what our prompt can do with this sentence. All right, let's make it casual
5:45
Hey there, we're super excited you are thinking of making a video with us. We promise to make it awesome and do our best to show off your product in a way that our viewers we love That was neat that was clean I think I could use that and actually lacked that much better than the previous sentence It just sounds friendlier my opinion
6:04
Alright, so that was my prompt to make any sentence, any complex, complicated formal sentence
6:10
less formal. A couple of alternatives to this prompt could be, rewrite this formal sentence in a conversational tone, or make this sentence sound less stiff
6:19
and more friendly. So these are two alternatives. I like the first one better and that's why
6:24
I showed you this one. And guys, if you want to use this prompt, there is no need to screenshot the prompts as they come on screen
6:31
I will have them all gathered in a Canva document and the link will be in the description for you
6:36
I just want to make your life easy. You to follow this video and see how I use the prompt
6:41
Don't worry too much about how to get the prompt because they will be in that Canva document
6:46
All right. That being said, let's see how we can make a sentence more formal this time
6:51
So to make it more formal, I have this one from right here. make this sentence sound more appropriate for a work environment
6:58
And then you paste your sentence. Okay, so again, we are going to copy this
7:03
Jump back to chat GPT. And I will paste my new block of text right here
7:08
So again, a little bit of context here. This piece of text that I just pasted here comes from a new course I am writing
7:14
about chat GPT, like an introduction course to chat GPT. I am working on and yeah, so this comes from there
7:21
The text goes like this. It is quite informal. I want to make this a bit more formal, more appropriate for a work environment
7:28
So here is the text. So if you want to get the most out of these chatbots, you've got to learn how to have a conversation with them
7:35
Ask questions, give examples, refine your instructions. Keep that dialogue going. The more you chat back and forth, the better your result will be
7:42
Trust me, folks, it's so worth it. Once you get the hang of it, you will be prompting like a pro in no time
7:49
Okay, so this text is pretty good. It's pretty appropriate for me
7:52
delivering this to my students in my online courses. If you have taken any of my courses
7:58
you know, this is kind of the tone of voice I use. All right, so I want to make this a bit more
8:03
profesh. Okay, so let's see what the prompt can do. All right, chat GPD is done with the answer here
8:08
Here's a more work-appropriate version. To optimize the use of these chatbots
8:12
it's essential to understand effective communication with them. Engage in meaningful interaction
8:17
by asking questions, providing examples and refining your instructions. The more in-depth the
8:22
the better the results. With practice, you will master the technique quickly and efficiently
8:28
And indeed, this is way more professional. It's not too formal, it's not too technical, it's just the right amount of formality for the workplace
8:36
So yeah, well done, I like it. And talking about liking, if you are enjoying this video, if you find it useful, this video or any of our videos, give us a like
8:45
This will just take you a second. For us, YouTubers, it makes a big difference
8:50
So yeah, we would highly appreciate it. I highly appreciate that little thumbs up that will push the video to more people
8:56
All right, let's continue discovering these prompts to make you a better writer
9:03
And we are already at prompt number three. This one prompt will help you improve the readability and the flow of whatever you're writing
9:11
And the prompt goes like this. Edit this text for grammar, legibility and better flow
9:16
It needs to be easy to understand. Okay, I'm giving ChatGPT the goal like my end
9:21
and goal here. And then I want to go one step further and ask chat GPT to let me know what changes have been
9:28
done and why it has decided to make these changes. So I can also learn in the process of, yeah, what should I do to write better the next time
9:37
So the second part of the prompt goes like this. Show me what you edited by bolding it and explain why you decided to make these improvements
9:45
So let's come back to our chat right here and test this prompt
9:48
Okay, so edit this text for grammar, legibility. and better flow, it needs to be easy to understand
9:54
So now I need some text, obviously, so let's use this one. Still from the Chat GPT introduction course that I'm writing, goes like this
10:02
Let's use this lecture to get familiar with the technique of iterative prompting
10:06
For that, we are going to need an example or a task for Chat GPT
10:10
So let's say I want to write an email to my boss, Jerry, to let him know I can't come to work today because I'm sick
10:17
I probably shouldn't have eaten these salmon niggiri's I found on the kitchen
10:21
table last night. Okay, so that's the prompt. Let's see how chat GPT can help me tighten this
10:28
sentence, can help me format and edit this sentence for better legibility because it's quite
10:33
long, so I'm curious to see how it's going to be edited. So here is the edited version with
10:39
the changes bolded. So that's great. I can learn from what chat GPT is showing me here
10:44
All right, so let's start by reading the edited version. Let's use this lecture as an opportunity
10:49
to get familiar with the technique of iterative prompting. To do this, we are going to need an example or a task for chat GPT
10:57
Let's say I want to ask it to write an email to my boss, Jerry, to let him know I can't come to work today because I'm sick
11:03
I suspect it was those Salmon Negiri's iPhone on the kitchen counter last night
11:08
So a couple of changes indeed. I globally think this is a better sentence
11:12
And what follows is an explanation of the five changes, the five edits that chat GPT made
11:17
I'm not going to read all of this. I'm going to read the first two, for example. So the first one, I changed, use this lecture to use this lecture as an opportunity
11:26
This provides better flow and context for why the lecture is being conducted
11:30
Okay, let's use another one, maybe .4. I removed the brackets around Jerry and made it comma, Jerry, comma
11:38
It improves the readability and gives a smoother flow. So, yeah, I think these five points are quite relevant
11:45
My sentence is globally improved. I felt that when I was reading it
11:50
And I like that I am learning by reading the explanations like why these edits have been made So this is a neat little trick When you use chat GPT in general I would recommend that you ask it to explain the steps
12:05
or you ask it to really break down the decision it made
12:09
for anything it rewrites or generates. That is something I like doing
12:14
And if you want this to be easier to comprehend, like ask chat GPT to bold whatever is changing
12:21
or alternating in your original text. All right, so that prompt helped me edit or improve any piece of text
12:28
I feed it, right? A couple of alternatives to this longer prompt
12:32
You could use something like rewrite this sentence for better flow. Or you could say something like rearrange this sentence to make it easier to follow
12:41
Okay, that's when you have a long sentence like I did. Rearrange this sentence to make it easier to follow
12:46
Could very well do the job for you. You won't be learning from the steps like we did in the first prompt
12:51
but it's really up to you and really. really how long you have
12:55
Maybe you don't want to do this whole process of learning for every single piece of text you want to edit
13:00
What else can I say about this prompt? Well, you can obviously also use this for emails
13:05
Like you could just improve your emails by using the same prompt
13:09
Me, I use this pretty much all the time. When I write courses, I use this a lot
13:14
It really helps me tighten my sentences and make them easier to understand
13:22
All right, moving on to the next. next prompt, guys, prompt number four, choosing the right words. So this one is mostly about
13:29
finding synonyms, finding better ways or finding alternative ways of saying the same thing, like
13:36
keeping the same meaning. Could be that you're writing a sentence and you're repeating the same word
13:41
or you're just using words that are not the most appropriate words. So I have come up with this
13:46
prompt right here. Give me a list of synonyms to replace the word X in the following sentence and
13:51
help me choose the most appropriate one. Okay. So here again, kind of like asking chat GPT to show me
13:57
the behind the scene. I wanted to give me a list of synonyms, but also to help me choose the most
14:02
appropriate one. So let's try this prompt. So let's come back to chat GPT and paste this prompt
14:08
So obviously now I need a sentence and I need to replace a word in that sentence. So again, this is
14:14
taken from the course. I am writing the sentence goes like this. Let me put some quotation marks here
14:19
Okay, so if we want to understand how chat GPT works, we have to learn about large language models
14:25
LLMs and how they work. That's what this lecture is about. Okay, so you see what's going on here
14:31
how chat GPT works, how the LLM work. So repetition of the word work. Okay, so I'm going to say
14:38
give me a list of synonyms to replace the word work in the following sentence and help me choose
14:44
the most appropriate one. Let's run this prompt. All right, so it started like this, synonyms for work
14:49
in the context provided, functions, operates, behaves, performs, acts, and runs. And then it says, considering the context of the sentence and to avoid redundancy
15:00
I would suggest functions or operates as the most suitable replacement. Using functions would provide a clear understanding of how chat GPT operates
15:09
So then he rewrites the sentence using the synonym. If we want to understand how chat GPT functions, we have to learn about large language mothers
15:18
LLMs and how they work. That's what this lecture is about. Okay, I like that
15:22
So it decided to use functions. Give me a little bit of explanation
15:26
And I have a list of six synonyms right here I could choose from it. So this prompt also works like a charm
15:32
I like that it gives me a little bit of explanation so I can also learn along the way
15:36
All right. So let's quickly have a look at some alternative prompts for synonyms
15:41
An alternative could be suggest some alternative ways to express this sentence
15:45
And you paste your sentence. Or choose the appropriate synonyms. to avoid any repetition in this sentence
15:51
And then you paste your sentence. All right, let's continue moving forward here
15:58
We have two more prompts to go. This one is about elevating your writing style
16:03
like bringing your writing to the next level. Let's discover the prompt
16:08
Prom goes like this, elevate this paragraph with a colorful metaphor, a vivid ogy
16:13
or an imaginative comparison. The goal is to convey the same ideas
16:17
in a more relatable and lively way. Okay? So maybe you have something quite plain, quite boring
16:24
quite non-interesting that you have written. And you want to make this better by injecting some life into it
16:30
So let's try this. I'm going to start by pasting the pram right here and pasting my sentence in between the quotation marks
16:37
And the sentence goes like this. Engaging with an AI should be iterative and responsive
16:42
Okay, very simple, very straightforward sentence. Let's see how chat GPT can help me
16:47
inject some more fantasy into this. All right, so there you go
16:51
Dancing with an AI is like a tango. It requires both partners to be responsive, moving step by step, learning, and adjusting to
16:59
each other's rhythm. Each iteration is a step. Each response is a beat, culminating in a harmonious performance
17:07
All right, so that might not be for everyone. That might be maybe too illustrative for the context of a course
17:15
So I might keep the comparison of using Have you chatting with chat GPT to dancing a tango
17:21
but I don't know if I need that level of detail. So I could just combine this with like one of the previous prompts we did use maybe to simplify this
17:30
to say it in another way. But the comparison to the tango is pretty good
17:33
And if you're not happy, you can always ask it. So give me more alternatives
17:39
Yeah. And it will just give you more using the same command that you already give it
17:43
Certainly. Here are some more creative renditions of your original sentence. Interacting with an AI is like molding clay
17:50
You shape respond and refine repeatedly until you craft the perfect sculpture etc etc You have five different comparisons right here of what chatting with chat GPT might look like All right great
18:03
We have two alternatives to this elevate prompt. You could say something like find the right example
18:08
to illustrate this sentence, or I need this passage to be more captivating
18:13
How could you rephrase it? So these are two other prompts you could use
18:18
to ask chat GPT to be a little bit more creative with your writing
18:23
All right, I kept the best one for the end. This is by far my favorite prompt of this episode, guys
18:32
So pay attention. I probably should have started with this one. But hey, this is your reward for sticking along with me until the end of this video
18:40
So this prompt is called Get Feedback from the Best. All right
18:44
So this is a prompt I invented. And the prompt goes like this
18:47
Here is the title of my next piece of content. You can swap this for any piece of content
18:52
could be a blog post, a YouTube video or an article, a course. I want you to criticize this title and suggest ways to improve it as if you were an expert
19:02
And then you need to give a value for each of these two variables between the hooks
19:07
One for the piece of content. So piece of content equals like a blog post, YouTube video, online course
19:12
And the expert equals, I don't know, like anyone. Could be anyone who is an expert at what you are trying to write
19:19
So I'm really looking forward to try this one. and I'm going to paste the prompt with the values already all filled up
19:25
Okay? So it goes like this. Here is the title of my next YouTube video
19:29
So I replace piece of content by YouTube video. I want you to criticize this title and suggest ways to improve it as if you were Mr. Beast
19:37
Obviously, Mr. Beast is the most famous YouTuber on the planet. So who else than the king, Mr. Beast, to give me some piece of advice on how to improve my YouTube title
19:48
And the title I would like Mr. Bees to help me improve is this one, like this video
19:53
So seven chat GPT prompts to improve your everyday writing. That was the original title I had thought out
19:59
So let's see what Mr. Bees says. I really like this prompt because you can really pretty much get feedback from the best of the best
20:06
Like it could be someone who's alive, someone who is not in this world anymore
20:11
You could talk to Plato. You could talk to Elon Musk. You could talk to anyone, really
20:16
as long as it is famous enough so that chat gpt knows about that person and it's also better that
20:23
that person became famous before the knowledge cutoff of september 2021 which is chat gpt's knowledge
20:29
cutoff all right so the answer here all right channeling my inner mr beast hey that's a neat title
20:35
but let's make it pop more when i title my videos i aim to make them catchy and straightforward
20:41
while still piking curiosity so your title is clear but let's try to add some excitement
20:46
The current title is 7 chat GPT prompts to improve your everyday writing
20:51
My suggestion, boost your writing instantly with these 7 chat expedition tricks
20:56
Why this works? Well, boost your writing instantly is more actionable and promises an immediate benefit
21:03
And tricks can be more appealing to a general audience compared to prompts
21:07
It feels more casual and approachable and also makes the viewer curious about what those
21:12
tricks might be. Okay, so that's pretty good. like boost your writing instantly with these seven chat gpt tricks i need to add this one to the list
21:21
because when i create a video i brainstorm different titles use ai to improve these titles and i might
21:28
create a video about this if you're interested in knowing like what's the behind the scene of this
21:33
youtube channel how do we use AI to brainstorm our titles so let me know in the comments if you
21:38
would be interesting in me making a video about how i use AI to optimize my video titles anyway i think
21:45
The chat with Mr. Bees was a success. I am tempted to try it with another famous person, so let's give this one last try
21:55
This one I want to call my good old friend Seth Godin
21:59
So here is the title of my next blog post for LinkedIn. I want you to criticize this title and suggest ways to improve it as if you were Seth Godin
22:09
The title, Seven Chat GPD Prompts to Improve your Everyday Writing, so the same title
22:14
But this time it's not a YouTube. video title. It's not Mr. Beast, it's a blog post and it's Seth Gordon. Set Godin, who has been
22:21
writing blog post every day since forever. So let's go ahead and see. All right, channeling the
22:26
insightful perspective of set Godin. The title you've provided is functional and gets the point
22:30
across. However, when we think about LinkedIn platform of professional thinkers and individual
22:36
looking to grow, it might benefit from a title that hints at a deeper transformation or
22:42
value. Okay, that's interesting. Current title, seven chat GPD prompts to improve your everyday
22:47
writing. Set inspired suggestion. Elevate your words, seven chat GPT insights to transform your daily
22:55
writing. Okay, that's pretty good. The title is longer here, but it doesn't matter because we're not
23:01
talking about a YouTube video anymore. So it captured that essence. It understood that a longer
23:06
title might be okay for a LinkedIn article. So here is the rationale. Elevate your words
23:11
immediately conveys the idea of self-improvement and growth, capturing the attention of professional eager to refine their skills
23:18
Replacing prompts with insights adds depth and suggests that there is more than just surface-level information
23:24
and transform promises a significant change, which can draw in readers looking for substantial improvement in their writing
23:31
All right, I think I'm going to leave it here for today, guys. These were my seven prompts to make you a better writer, better copywriter
23:40
