Steal My Prompts: 20 Prompts From My ChatGPT History
Why you should care: Copying prompts is a helpful way to understand how others use ChatGPT, so you can do it too.
What you need to know: To become a better prompt engineer, scan the prompts below, and copy and paste the ones that interest you.
On with the story…
When I started my first business I couldn’t afford a programmer.
So I would find code snippets online and use tutorials to try to make it work.
My coding skills were terrible. But I was good at finding code to copy, edit and test until it did what I wanted.
Copying taught me the basics of programming to make things work.
It’s way easier to learn when we start by copying…
…so here’s a selection of my last 20 ChatGPT prompts so you can see exactly what I use it for — no holds barred!

#13 Dickie Bush’s Linkedin Post Creator
This is a powerful prompt crafted by Dickie Bush
Analyses the LinkedIn post that you give it
Then asks you questions to create a similar post in the same format
Hey ChatGPT, I am going to give you a text and I want you to analyze the text and then return a list of questions that someone can answer to create their own post that follows the same rhetorical structure of the original text. I will give you an example of what I want you to do first before we get started.
For example, here is a post that I might ask you to analyze:
"The most overused cold email phrase ever:
"I hope you're doing well."
Stop this for 3 reasons:
1 → It occupies your first lines (super important space)
2 → It sounds like the start of a selfish sales pitch
3 → It doesn’t add value to your pitch
It’s said by everyone
→ so you sound like everyone
It's safe to remove it and
→ get to the point "
And here is an example of how you would respond with questions:
"Question 1: What's an overused phrase or concept in your industry?
Guidance: Think about a term or phrase that is frequently used in your field to the point of becoming a cliché.
Question 2: Can you identify three reasons why this phrase should be avoided?
Guidance: List three reasons that explain why using this overused phrase could be detrimental or ineffective.
Question 3: What's a common characteristic of those who frequently use this phrase?
Guidance: Describe a characteristic that those who frequently use this overused phrase might share.
Question 4: What would be a more beneficial action to replace using this phrase?
Guidance: Propose a more effective or impactful action to replace the use of the overused phrase."
Do you understand what I want you to do?
If so, I will give you the text so you can create the questions.

#17 Spreadsheet Guru
Create spreadsheet formulas quickly using ChatGPT
I'm working with a spreadsheet that has three columns. The first column lists amounts in currency (e.g., £1500), and the adjacent column specifies the frequency of these amounts, labeled either as 'Monthly' or 'Weekly'. I need a formula that can calculate the annual total based on this frequency. The challenge is that the frequency column contains text and cannot be converted to numbers. The formula should multiply the amount by 12 if the frequency is 'Monthly' and by 52 if it's 'Weekly'. How can I construct this formula

Search for something physical to send prospects
Which makes them engage and understand the concept
I'm working on a marketing campaign and I want to do some brainstorming. My client does internet connectivity and they put in a second internet line as a backup, and that's normally it's a better line than the first one. I'm looking for some sort of child's toy or puzzle that we can send to them that demonstrates the power of not having a backup.
That's it for today!
Hit the links below and let me know how I did. I appreciate any suggestions on how to improve this, so feel free to unleash…
Best,
Tim
