ChatGPT Marketing Prompts: Best Online Business Examples

Welcome to my personal guide to the best ChatGPT marketing prompts for online business.
I’ve been using AI writing tools since before ChatGPT launched. I’ve learned how to make AI software craft concise copy quickly, so I can focus on optimizing the rest of the campaign.
There are currently less than 30 prompts on my list.
That might not seem like much when you compare it to products offering thousands of ChatGPT prompts for a few dollars. But having too many prompts will waste your time.

What are ChatGPT marketing prompts + why a short list?
ChatGPT prompts are commands and other messages given to an AI writing tool by a user. Marketing prompts can be used to brainstorm, strategize, outline and draft content, improve copy, and speed up other tasks for promoting your business.
When you understand how to fine-tune ChatGPT prompts and use them in sequence, you’ll get the results faster and with fewer rewrites.
You only need a short list because once you understand how the software works, creating new prompts is simple.

Best ChatGPT Marketing Prompts For Freelancers and Business Owners
Below are some of the prompts from my list with instructions for using them. There are also links to tutorials for some of these prompts and others on YouTube.

AI Hashtag Generator

Writing 30 hashtags manually is awful, which is why I use a hashtag generator. Hashtags are important for exposure on Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and other social platforms.
Write [NUMBER] hashtags for [PLATFORM] that are trendy and highly relevant to [TOPIC].
This prompt is simple: You specify the number of hashtags you need, the platform, and your topic. It can be generic or specific, depending on your content needs.
The PSO Copywriting Formula
The PSO Copywriting Formula is appealing because of its simplicity and power. PSO stands for Problem, Solution, Outcome, and while it’s not as widely discussed as PAS or AIDA, it works remarkably well.
Write a cold outreach email addressed to [NAME] who is [POSITION] at [COMPANY]. Use the PSO (Problem Solution Outcome) formula to pitch my [OFFER] which helps with [OUTCOME]
Here’s a quick sample I plugged into ChatGPT, from the perspective of a freelance writer reaching out to offer me their ghost blogging services.
I get cold emails like this regularly, but most of them don’t make a strong case for their services. This prompt helps craft a message that stands out.
I used PSO with “ghostblogging” as the OFFER variable and “publishing more content faster while maintaining high quality” as the OUTCOME.
Sample Output
Email Subject: Publish More Quality Content in Less Time
Hi Alex, I noticed that content creation can be a bottleneck, especially when you’re balancing quality and speed to keep your audience engaged. It’s tough to stay consistent and still deliver the high-quality posts your readers expect.
I offer ghost blogging services that help brands like LoverFighterWriter publish more content in less time without sacrificing quality. I focus on creating well-researched, engaging posts that align with your voice and audience needs so you can scale your content output effortlessly.
If you’re looking to maintain consistency and free up more time, let’s chat about how I can help.
Best regards,[Your Name]
PS: Imagine doubling your content without doubling your workload.
Enhancing the Outreach Email
This is a solid cold email, but there are a few ways to improve it. For example, the line “I noticed that content creation can be a bottleneck” reads robotically. A better approach would be to use the observation to create common ground, like:
- “As you must be aware, content creation can be a bottleneck.”
- “I’m sure you would agree that content creation can be a bottleneck.”
This helps establish rapport with the reader.
Changing the sign-off from “Best regards” to something more engaging like, “Thanks for taking the time to read this” or “Hoping to hear from you” would be more personable.
The message should also offer proof of past work. You could add, “Let me know if you’d like to see samples of my work” or “I’ve published a dozen articles this year on [specific blog]. Let me know if you’d like to check them out.”
Making these small tweaks humanizes the email and make it more relatable.
How AI Can Streamline Cold Outreach
While AI-generated text isn’t always perfect, it’s a great way to cut down on the time and effort required to draft outreach emails. You only need to tweak about 10% of the output to customize it fully, rather than starting from scratch.
With an AI assistant, you can focus more on adding personal touches that will resonate with potential clients.
The AIDA Copywriting Formula: A Versatile Tool for Marketers
AIDA stands for Attention, Interest, Desire, Action. This formula is popular and effective because of its versatility and ability to adapt to different types of copy. It’s a great starting point for promoting any service or product, and it works well with ChatGPT.
Write a social media post using AIDA formula promoting [PRODUCT or SERVICE] for [TARGET CUSTOMER] in the [INDUSTRY/VERTICAL].
We’ll use the example of promoting short-form video marketing services for chiropractors in the greater Toronto area.
Example Social Media Post:
Are you a chiropractor in the Greater Toronto Area looking to attract more clients? Short-form video marketing is the way to stand out in a crowded market! Capture attention, build trust, and showcase your expertise—all in under 60 seconds. Ready to elevate your practice? Let’s get started!
Adjusting the Output
If the output includes labels like Attention, Interest, Desire, Action, just tell ChatGPT, “Reprint the last output without the headings,” and it will adjust accordingly. You can also specify whether you want hashtags, emojis, or even a specific tone to match the platform you’re using.
PLR to Mini Course: Unlocking the Potential of Private Label Rights Content

Private Label Rights (PLR) content is a fantastic resource for building out your content library, but it’s even more powerful when repurposed strategically. ChatGPT makes it easy to turn a simple PLR article into a mini-course that adds value for your audience.
Here’s a sample prompt for creating a mini-course from a PLR article:
Write an outline for a course on [Topic]. Turn each subheading from the following article into a unit in the course, teaching exactly how to accomplish the concept in the subheading.
This allows you to transform the PLR article’s headings into individual course units. If the article had five subheadings, each one would become a unit within your course, breaking the content into actionable lessons.
Lots of PLR articles are short but full of useful information. By using AI to create an outline, you can turn that content into a structured, engaging course, giving your audience far more value than the original article alone.
Turning PLR Content into a Course: A Step-by-Step Example
PLR content is often generic enough that it can be used in many ways. For example, an article about time management can be adapted for many different niches:
- A marketer or business coach could use it to teach business productivity.
- A health coach might focus on using time management to improve health.
- A creative professional could tailor it to help their students manage time to complete creative projects.
Because time management is so versatile, you can take a generic article and customize it for your target audience.
Customizing PLR with ChatGPT
Here’s an example for turning a PLR article into a time management course for freelance writers:
Write an outline for a course on time management for freelance writers.
After reviewing the outline, you can make any necessary tweaks to the course structure, ensuring that it aligns with your vision. You should have a list of units with lessons and short descriptions of the content.
Expanding the Course
Once you have your outline, it’s time to turn those units into video scripts or full lessons.
Write the full content for unit one as a script for a video lesson.
ChatGPT will transform each unit into a detailed script, perfect for creating video courses or written lessons. If needed, you can ask ChatGPT to rewrite sections, remove formatting like scene breaks, or even customize the tone.
Scaling Your Content Marketing With AI Software
As you can see, with just a few commands, you can turn a short PLR article into a full course. This is just one example of how these powerful tools can help writers generate endless ideas.
This is one of the fastest, most affordable ways to create valuable products for your business, giving you more time to focus on other marketing efforts.
Frequently Asked Questions About ChatGPT (FAQ)
