Evolve from ChatGPT Prompting to Priming
Everyone is pitching the best ChatGPT Prompt…
Try GPT Priming instead: Priming is the best way to formulate better results by inputting related information before requesting a response:
- Allows for variability in your GPT chat dialogue later in the string
- Eliminates the need to create multiple chats
- Produces more precise results -Improves your overall experience
LEVEL THREE PRIMING:
Please act as a stand up comedian and a joke-writer with more than a decade of experience entertaining audiences of all ages. Here is an example of a joke style that I like:
” INSERT REFERENCE CONTENT ”
Now, please write me an original stand up comedy routine in a similar style.
LEVEL FOUR PRIMING
STEP 1: ANALYZE RELEVANT CONTENT I am going to provide you with a joke from a stand up comedian’s live performance. The joke was spoken in front of an audience and recorded, then transcribed. As a result, there are some repetitions and other verbal nuances in the transcription that you will need to navigate. Please thoroughly characterize the joke type and its component parts so I have a good definition of this joke type for later use: “INSERT JOKE TEXT”
STEP 2: CREATE A TABLE OPEN A NEW CHAT AND CREATE A TABLE WITH THE JOKE COMPONENTS CHAT PROVIDES AS COLUMN HEADERS. PROMPT EXAMPLE: Please create a table that breaks down a stand up comedy routine into the following key elements where each of these key elements is a column: Relatability, Exaggeration, wordplay, repetition, satire, rule of three, absurdity, call back, audience inclusion. Fill the table with 10 rows of data where: relatability = “funny family situations”
STEP 3. NOW THAT YOU’VE DONE YOUR RESEARCH, LET’S WRITE! OPEN YET ANOTHER NEW CHAT AND PUT YOUR SAMPLE JOKE INTO THIS CHAT AND ASK IT TO STORE THE INFORMATION FOR LATER: I am going to provide you with an example of the humor I like. It comes from a stand-up comedian’s live performance. The joke was spoken in front of an audience and recorded, then transcribed. As a result, there are some repetitions and other verbal nuances in the transcription that you will need to navigate. After you have read the joke, please confirm you have fully ingested the material by responding, “Read,” and we will proceed to the next step: “insert joke text”
STEP 4. PROVIDE THE CATEGORIES AND DATA FROM THE TABLE CHAT MADE IN STEP 2. Now that you have a sample of the style of humor by which you should write, please act as a professional stand-up comedian and a joke writer with more than a decade of experience entertaining audiences of all ages. Based on this style of humor please write an original stand-up comedy routine with the following components: Relatability: Awkward family situations Exaggeration: Crazy family vacations Wordplay: Travel-related puns Repetition: “It never fails” Satire: Travel industry Absurdity: Time-travel mishap Audience Inclusion: “Been there?”
STEP 5: SELECT THE EDIT BUTTON AND MAKE CHANGES TO THE CATEGORIES AND DATA INPUT IN ORDER TO SEE DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES

PART II – THIS NEXT LEVEL PRIMING
Here’s how to create a multi-prompt string that primes the Chat with variables:
- Allows for variability in your GPT chat dialogue later in the string
- Eliminates the need to create multiple chats
- Produces more precise results -Improves your overall experience
LEVEL FIVE PRIMING
STEP 1: TELL CHAT THAT YOU’RE GOING TO BE USING VARIABLES: I am going to provide you with several variables that I will define via the following = [variable]. I want you to remember these variables for later use. Then we will use these variables to create specific content that I request. Please confirm you understand these instructions by responding, “Read,” and we will proceed to the next step.
STEP 2: DEFINE YOUR FIRST VARIABLE: I want you to store the following example of X in the variable [Variable 01]. [Variable 01] = “populate this with the example information”
STEP 3: ADD MORE VARIABLES: I want you to store the following example of X in the variable [Variable 02]. [Variable 02] = “populate this with the example information”
STEP 4: HAVE CHATGPT EXECUTE THE TASK BASED ON THE VARIABLES: Now that you have ingested these different variables, please act as an expert “XYZ” with two decade of experience. Based on the variables, [Variable 01] and [Variable 02], please write “CONTENT” with the following components:
PROMPT ENGINEERING BEST PRACTICES
Using this multi-step approach to asking Chat GPT to create a prompt, gives you multiple opportunities to update and improve the request prior to acquiring the result.
Here's the prompt from the video:
Let’s work together to get the best possible responses from a prompt that I give you. From now on we will interact in the following sequence:
1. My initial prompt: [I will give you an initial prompt]
2. You will request more details from me in the following format: [Request 3-5 specific details about my original prompt in order to fully understand what I want from you. Please make these clarifying questions in an easy to answer list format]
3. My Answers [I will then answer these questions – providing you with the details necessary to fully inform your inquiries]
4. You will then act as a professional prompt engineer and create a more detailed prompt for ChatGPT, combining the intent of my original prompt with the additional details provided in step 3. Please provide the resulting new prompt for ChatGPT, and ask me If I am happy with it.
5. If I say “yes,” continue to then generate a response to this upgraded prompt.
6. If I say “no,” ask me which details about this prompt I am not happy with.
7. I will then provide the additional information required 8. Generate another prompt, similar to step 4, but taking into account the alterations I asked for in step 7.
Repeat step 6 – 8 until I am happy with the prompt that you generate.
If you fully understand how we are going to work together, respond with, “How may I help you?”
CREATE PERSONAS FOR EVERYONE!
Customize the way ChatGPT writes to everyone in your life. Marketing personas (or avatars) are great ways to align content with their intended recipients. Personalize emails to the each recipient for a more powerful and persuasive result.
Here's the ChatGPT prompt from the video:
I realize this involves a bunch of steps (read “hassle”). Unfortunately this is the process you need to endure today (April 2023) as Chat GPT isn’t yet capable of consuming all of this information at once and producing a logical result. My assumption is that Open AI will evolve in the next couple of months to be able to absorb all of these steps in one shot. Guess we’ll see…
Step 1.
I am going to provide you with several variables that I will define via the following = [variable]. I want you to remember these variables for later use. Then we will use these variables to create specific content that I request. Please confirm you understand these instructions by responding, “Read,” and we will proceed to the next step.
Step 2.
I am going to provide you with definitions of components that you will use for creating a persona. We will call this information = [Persona]. I want you to store these components for later use.
[Persona] =
“Demographics: These include age, gender, income, education, occupation, marital status, and family size. Demographics provide a basic understanding of who the persona is and helps in segmenting the target audience.
Psychographics: This covers the individual’s values, beliefs, interests, lifestyle, and personality traits. Psychographics provide insights into the motivations and attitudes that drive decision-making processes.
Behaviors: The way users interact with a product or service, their purchasing habits, and preferred communication channels. This information helps tailor marketing strategies to be more effective and personalized.
Goals and aspirations: Identifying the user’s personal and professional goals, as well as their aspirations, enables marketers to align their product or service with the user’s desires, creating more compelling messaging.
Pain points and challenges: Understanding the problems and obstacles that users face allows marketers to position their product or service as a solution to these issues, ultimately creating value and building trust.
Information sources: Identifying the primary sources of information that the persona relies on, such as social media, websites, blogs, or industry publications, can help marketers tailor their content and messaging to be more effective across these channels.
Brand preferences: Understanding the persona’s preferred brands, their brand loyalty, and reasons behind their choices can offer insights into the competition and opportunities for differentiation.”
Once you have ingested this information, please respond with “Read” and we’ll move to the next step.
Step 3.
I want you to store the following information for later use in the variable [Name Information 1].
[Name Information 1] =”Provide information like Linkedin bio, resume, tweets or other publicly available content “
Once you have ingested this information, please respond with, “Read” and we’ll move to the next step.
Repeat Step 3. with new variables [Name Information 2] and [Name Information 3] etc.
Step 4.
Next, I want you to please act as a professional psychiatrist with more than two decades of experience studying, analyzing and publishing on human personality traits and characteristics. This experience has helped you to understand how to motivate, inspire, and persuade people based on the personas you create for them. For the next set of tasks, this is your role and how you should act. If you understand this role, please respond with “Read” and we will proceed to the next step.
Step 5.
Based on your role, please use the information [Name Information 1, 2, 3…] to inform the persona components from [Persona] that you have previously store. Please create an individualized persona called = [Person’s name] using the format:
- “Demographics:
- Psychographics:
- Behaviors:
- Goals and aspirations:
- Pain points and challenges:
- Information sources:”
Step 6.
At this point, you have a robust persona written for the person with whom you want to communicate. Now, open a new chat prompt. You’ll be using the persona to
Step 7. In the new prompt you might write:
I am going to provide you with the persona of someone with whom I want to communicate effectively called [Name 1]. Please ingest the following persona to be stored for later [Persona Name 1].
[Persona Name 1] = “Input Persona from Step 5“
Once you have ingested this information, please respond with “Read” and we will proceed to the next step.
Step 8.
You are a highly persuasive writer with more than two decades of experience convincing people to accept your point of view, follow your example and agree with your perspective. You are able to do this with a kind and pleasant tone. Your audience is best described by the persona of [Persona Name 1]. Based on this role, please write content specifically for [Persona Name 1] on the following topic with the following key points:
- Topic:
- Point 1:
- Point 2:
