Create content that resonates: ChatGPT prompts for authentic personal branding
Share your origin story
Most people never explain why they do what they do. Their story stays hidden, making them blend into the crowd. But your “why” is what makes you memorable. Tell people how you got here and they’ll remember you forever.
“Help me write my origin story for my target audience. Ask me about key moments in my journey that led me to where I am today. Focus on [describe your work]. After each response, help me identify the most compelling elements. Then create a powerful narrative that resonates with my ideal clients, and describe how I share my story regularly.”
Celebrate small wins
Big success stories are great. But small victories show you know how to create real change. Share the everyday progress your clients make. Build trust through proof that your methods bring results.
“Guide me in sharing client success stories that showcase my impact. Ask me about recent client victories, no matter how small. After gathering several examples, help me craft short, powerful stories that highlight my unique approach. Remove identifying details but keep the emotional impact.”
Give behind the scenes access
People buy from people. Let your audience get to know the real you. Show them your workspace, your morning routine, your creative process. Build familiarity through transparency. Find out what you have in common with your connections for more depth in key relationships.
“Give me ideas for authentic behind-the-scenes content, relevant to my work. Based on my role as [describe your role], suggest 5 aspects of my work life I could share. For each one, provide specific ideas for posts to share or videos and images to take that would interest my audience while maintaining professionalism. Give a strong reason why each would be a good thing for me to do.”
Share your wisdom vault
Your bookshelf tells a story. The podcasts you love reveal your values. The advice that changed your life could change someone else’s too. Package up your knowledge to create instant authority. When other people listen, they associate the learnings with you. Be the person that created their biggest breakthrough and they’ll remember you forever.
“Help me showcase my expertise through resource recommendations. Ask me about books, podcasts, or advice that shaped my success in my work. Create a format for regularly sharing these insights in a way that positions me as a thought leader.”
Break common myths
False beliefs hold people back. Misconceptions stop progress. But you know the truth. Notice what’s confusing about your industry. Find the things that don’t make sense and don’t be afraid to challenge them. Share it freely and watch your influence grow. Be the voice of clarity in a world of confusion. Most business owners do X, but you do Y. And your audience wants to know more.
“Guide me in addressing industry myths. First, ask me about the common misconceptions in my field that I have a strong opinion about. Then help me craft clear, authoritative responses that showcase my expertise, starting with the format “most people do X, but I do Y” where there is a clear contrast between the two. Make each myth-busting message short but impactful.”
Share your epiphanies
Game-changing moments happen when you least expect them. Share them as they happen. Show you’re always learning, always growing. Your insights could spark someone else’s breakthrough. Always have a pen and paper to hand, or somewhere to take notes for your upcoming posts. Be camera ready. Document every step. Make it easy to share and you will.
“Help me document and share my professional epiphanies. Ask me about recent realizations or mindset shifts that changed how I work. After each one, help me craft a compelling story that shows both the struggle and the solution. Create 3 different ways I could share each insight.”
Open up about struggles
Perfect people don’t win trust and fans. Share your challenges and watch affinity grow. Let people see the human behind the expert. Your honesty creates a connection that leads to sales. Have a conversation with ChatGPT to discover what you’re comfortable sharing before you do it.
“Guide me in sharing professional challenges authentically. Ask me about obstacles I’ve faced or currently face in my work or business. Help me frame each struggle in a way that demonstrates resilience while maintaining credibility. Create messaging that builds trust through vulnerability. After each suggestion you make, ask if I’m comfortable sharing this information.”
Explain your methods
Random success isn’t replicable. But your approach creates consistent results. Break down your process so others understand how you work. Show them the map to success lies in your approach. Get them on board, get them following, get them remembering and crediting you with their success.
“Help me outline my professional methodology. Ask me about my approach to [describe your work]. After gathering details, create a clear framework that showcases my unique process. Include specific examples that demonstrate why my method works.”
Get your audience talking
When they talk, you learn. Conversations beat monologues. Ask questions that spark discussion. Get your audience sharing their experiences and opinions. Build community through engagement. Posting online will go from being a chore to being the brightest part of your day.
