I used to spend 20+ minutes trying to “explain” tasks to ChatGPT.
Now I use this 3-step framework and get results in <5 minutes.
The Framework:
Role → Tell it who it is.
Example: “You’re a SaaS growth marketer…”
Context → Feed it the background.
Example: company, audience, goal
Output → Be specific about the format.
Example: tweet thread, roadmap, SQL query
🛑 Most Founders Write Bad Prompts. Here’s Why.
The Common Mistake
Most founders treat ChatGPT like Google.
They type:
'write landing page copy'
That’s like asking a junior intern to “make the company website.”
It won’t work.
✅ The Fix → Structured Prompts
Act as a conversion copywriter.
Our SaaS helps X do Y.
Target = early-stage founders.
Write 5 headline variations with a curiosity hook, max 6 words each.
⚡ The Result
❌ Bad prompts = generic fluff
✅ Good prompts = usable output in minutes
💬 Question for You
👉 Do you use templates, or write prompts from scratch each time?
ChatGPT is only as good as your instructions.
