You're using ChatGPT for your content all wrong.

Look, we get it! AI is an amazing tool, so amazing that it makes us want to use it for everything.

Tell us what to cook for dinner tonight, what's wrong with our house plant, what shoes to pair with an outfit, and so much more. But, when it comes to social media, we've seen a crazy increase in straight ChatGPT captions and copy all across platforms. Visuals and video content, too.

But, instead of letting it come in and write an out-of-tune caption here or there, here's how you can actually use it to your advantage when it comes to social media.

Use AI To Tell You More About Your Audience

You've probably heard us scream this from the rooftops a time or two, but you need to know your audience like the back of your hand. Your audience is the reason behind every piece of content you make. So, instead of giving them a caption that they don't feel any emotion, strategy, or passion, and can tell was written by ChatGPT, take the time to get to know them more instead, so you can write copy easily and effectively.

AI is great at scanning through data, noticing trends, researching, and quickly finding things out for us. So, start asking AI about your audience. Here are prompts you can start using right now to better define your audience and strategize around them.

Audience Demographics & Basics

• “Help me define the age, gender, location, and occupation of my ideal audience.”

• “What education level and income range does my target audience usually have?”

• “Can you help me create 3–5 audience personas for my brand?”

Pain Points & Challenges

• “What are the top challenges or frustrations my audience faces in [my niche]?”

• “What keeps my audience up at night related to [industry/product/service]?”

• “What common mistakes or misconceptions does my audience have?”

Motivations & Goals

• “What does my ideal audience want to achieve or feel?”

• “What motivates my audience to buy, follow, or engage online?”

• “What are my audience’s short-term and long-term goals related to my niche?”

Content Preferences & Consumption

• “What type of content does my audience love on social media?”

• “Which platforms does my audience spend the most time on?”

• “What captions, tone, or visuals resonate most with them?”

• “Do they prefer educational, entertaining, inspirational, or community-focused content?”

Online Behavior & Buying Habits

• “How does my audience usually research or make purchasing decisions?”

• “What influencers, blogs, or accounts does my audience follow?”

• “Do they prefer short-form content or long-form content?”

Engagement & Community

• “What kind of posts would make my audience comment, share, or save?”

• “What hashtags or keywords is my audience searching for?”

• “What questions or topics does my audience ask about the most?”

Emotional Triggers

• “What emotions drive my audience’s decision-making?”

• “What kind of stories or visuals make them feel understood or inspired?”

• “Which words or phrases grab their attention immediately?”

Now that is how you can effectively use AI in social media strategy, without compromising originality, trust, and connection with your audience.
