Tip #2: Spend Some Time Finding the Best Tool for Your Needs

Part of your prompting success will be in working with a tool that you feel is easy for you to use. Not all tools give the same kinds of results when you prompt them. So it’s best to sign up for a few that you feel might work best for you and take them for a test run.

For example, you might sign up with both ChatGPT and Google Gemini and give the same prompt, with differing results. You might find that Gemini is better for current research and creative output - and Chat GPT writes in the better business tone for you.

Tip #3: Train Your AI Overall and on the Fly

There are going to be some instructions you have for AI that are non negotiable – things you always want it to do. Then there will be times when you need to give specific instructions for a single prompt or project.

You can enter custom instructions on ChatGPT for things you always want it to remember. This might be something like a specific style or tone you always want used, such as empathic and motivational or professional, conversational, and so on.

You can also train AI right before you have it begin working for you. For example, if you’re an affiliate marketer, you might train AI by uploading some customer reviews of a product and telling it to consider addressing that feedback whenever it crafts the product review for you.

This background information is something AI will usually remember. Sometimes, it might veer off course and you can remind it of your previous instructions. Another common things to tell it is to MECE everything – meaning it delivers results that are Mutually Exclusive and Collectively Exhaustive – no overlap of ideas and content....

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools have been a blessing for many solo online entrepreneurs. It’s an unpaid assistant available at all times of the day help you with strategy, brainstorming, content development, analysis and more.

But unless you do the work involved to master the prompting process, your efforts will likely not result in the best output possible. While AI does have the ability to understand your needs whenever you give it a command, there are ways to enhance its ability to perform.

Below, you’ll find 7 prompt tips that can take your use of AI to the next level, helping you cross more tasks off of your to do list each day. In the end, this is a technology that can bolster your approach in leading a niche and profiting from it - and by learning a few tricks of the trade, you’ll ensure your AI is working smarter and harder for you at all times.

Tip #1: Be Able to Clearly State Your Specific Needs

Some marketers are in such a rush when working that they forget to slow down and think of the best way to convey their needs to someone else (even a robot). The AI can’t read your mind, so regardless of how you’re using it – for content creation, analysis, strategy, etc., you have to be able to convey your needs so there’s no misunderstanding.

This is especially important if you’re using a paid tier of AI and only have so much output available to you. You don’t want to waste it by having to redirect AI because you weren’t specific enough.

When you are able to clearly state your specific needs, it optimizes your efficiency in using AI and makes you more productive. Being too broad and general with your commands can be confusing to the AI bot and it might choose something completely outside the realm of what you actually need when it creates its output.

For example, if you just say, “Write an article about email marketing,” AI has no idea what specific aspects you need covered, who your audience is, or anything else. It needs to know the word length you’re looking for, who you’re targeting with the content, what tone or style you want to use, and any parameters about what you do (and don’t) want included....

AI Can Serve as Your Secret Content Development Weapon

The ability to consistently produce high-quality, engaging content can make the difference between standing out and blending into the backdrop of digital noise. This ongoing need for fresh, relevant content places a considerable burden on marketers, especially those operating solo.

Here, artificial intelligence (AI) emerges not just as a tool, but as a transformative force that can redefine the landscape of content creation. Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing content development by automating complex processes, generating creative content ideas, and optimizing content for different platforms.

This technology harnesses the power of machine learning and natural language processing to analyze data, trends, and user interactions at a scale and speed unattainable for human marketers alone.

By doing so, AI provides actionable insights and automates repetitive tasks, which can significantly alleviate the content creation burden. The primary allure of AI in this context is its capacity to handle the two major challenges faced by online marketers: the creation of high-volume, high-quality content and the need for this content to perform well across diverse digital platforms.

AI can analyze large sets of data from various sources, including social media, search engines, and consumer behavior analytics. This analysis helps in understanding what content resonates with audiences and why.

Armed with this knowledge, AI can generate suggestions for content that is not only innovative but also finely tuned to the interests and needs of your target audience. AI's ability to learn and adapt over time means that it becomes more efficient and effective the more you use it.

It continuously refines its content suggestions and optimizations, ensuring that your content strategy evolves in step with changes in consumer preferences and technological advancements.

This adaptive capability makes AI an invaluable ally in the quest to remain relevant and competitive in the fast-paced world of online marketing. By integrating AI into your content development strategy, you tap into a powerful resource that can transform your approach from reactive to proactive, enabling you to anticipate market trends and audience shifts with greater accuracy.... 

Depending on which AI tool you’re using, you can have it check for the latest news and trends to tie into your content. Being one of the early adopters of these messages can boost your income.

For example, people who promoted N95 masks right as pandemic news was hitting the Internet made a killing on those – not to mention things like hand sanitizer. You had many people creating and selling info products the second they knew word was spreading.

Prompt AI like this: “For my bug out channel, what’s some very current news or a trend that my audience would be interested that might make them get prepared sooner?” Google’s Gemini, for example mentions this:

• Mention the rising threat of cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure, potentially leading to widespread power outages.
• Touch upon the potential impact of global conflicts or political instability on essential services and resources.
• Recent economic challenges and supply chain disruptions have led to shortages of essential goods and increased prices. These factors can spur people to prepare to be more self-sufficient.

This way, you’ll be first (generally speaking) compared to the masses who are too focused solely on keyword research to leverage information people are actively looking up because it just came on their radar.

Zero in on Bigger Profits Using AI to Guide Your Tweaks

AI isn’t just for handling the content marketing and scheduling aspect of helping you bring in $100 a day. It also serves to help you make improvements. You’re going to have access to data from your blog, email autoresponder and social accounts.

Share that with AI and give it a chance to help you tweak your strategy so that you make more every week. Whether it’s a subtle change or a huge overhaul, it can analyze the information and spot patterns and make predictive assessments of what will work best for you.

For example, if your TikTok video called Top 5 Bug Out Bag Essentials got a lot of views, but little direct interaction, or the bio was clicked, but the conversion to your landing page was low, AI could have a solution for you.

This might include verbally asking for them to comment with something specific by posing a question to them. Or split testing your current call to action with something more powerful or intriguing.

The data can also help AI determine what information gaps are in your niche, giving you ample opportunity to create info products to serve the needs of your audience. This kind of revenue – especially when you use AI to help you recruit affiliates – can easily tip the scales in your favor for $100 a day, or much more!

You can even ask AI to help you split test certain elements of campaigns and efforts that seem to work fine – just to make sure you’re not leaving money on the table. It can create split test versions of your landing page copy, email messages, social content and more.

AI works very fast. The more you train it in the beginning and have it work on a specific monetary goal with you, the easier it will be for you to achieve what you’re hoping to bring to fruition.

Now that your setup is complete, and AI is trained to address your content marketing needs in an effort to turn $100 a day profits, how will your day unfold? This is something you need to know so that you can prioritize and organize your task list.

Without consistent effort, your earnings will never take root, because online, you have to build up your brand and foster a sense of loyalty from your followers. You can monetize AI to work for you by prompting it to do all of the following:

• Create affiliate promos and digital and tangible products
• Brainstorm, outline and write complete info products (including the sales copy)
• Write scripts or content that engages your social media audience and helps you earn Content Creator Funds, follower gifts and ad revenue, and more!

Have AI help you make a schedule to work on all of these things. For example, you might prompt it like this: “Help me make a daily schedule to use AI to create 3 daily TikTok videos of 90 seconds each – one that promotes a digital info product, one that promotes a tangible product and one that entertains and informs my audience to increase engagement and brand loyalty. Give me a list of tasks to do each day that include those 3 videos plus time spent creating my own info product using AI for a launch. I also need blog content 2-3 times per week.”

AI is going to give you a routine with hours that you can alter if you want to. For example, here is a snippet of part of what it gives you:

Morning Routine (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM)

AI-Assisted TikTok Video Creation (8:00 AM - 10:00 AM)

Video 1: Digital Info Product Promotion (it includes 3)

• Use AI to draft a script highlighting the benefits and unique selling points of your digital product.
• Record the video, focusing on how the product solves common problems or enhances survival skills.

Afternoon Routine (1:00 PM – 5:00 PM)

AI-Assisted Info Product Creation (1:00 PM - 3:00 PM)

• Work with AI to develop content for your info product, such as drafting chapters or sections, creating outlines, or researching additional content.
• Focus on areas where AI can generate high-quality content quickly, such as data compilation, fact-checking, or creating visual elements like charts or infographics.

It also has weekly tasks for analysis and strategy adjustment. Use this as a starting point and provide AI with any details that might help it help you allocate time to certain tasks.

You also want to ask AI for help in revving up your earnings. For example, you might ask AI: “For my promotion of a survival lost skills info product as an affiliate, what are some ideas for ensuring people buy through my link?”

It’s going to serve as your advisor to increase conversions, which will include a video review, special bonus offer, a discount code that you secure, an interactive session or product walkthrough, retargeting ads, and more.

Whenever you have a set monetary goal like $100 a day, you can have AI help you achieve that goal. For example, you might prompt AI like this: “I want to create a TikTok about the top 5 bug out bag essentials and I want to make sure I hit my goal of earning $100 in commissions today. What tips do you have about what products I could promote to help me hit that goal?”

AI knows that you’d need to focus on products with commissions in the $20-50 range and generate 2-5 sales per day. So an obvious one is the bug out bags themselves. But AI has some other great ideas, including a water purification system, a multitool top brand, a comprehensive first aid kit, and emergency shelter like a tent.

It goes farther, telling you how to optimize the video for sales, use a call to action that converts, which hashtags to use or trends to leverage, and what follow-up content will serve you well, like comment engagement or new videos with more detail.

For your email marketing, you can have AI help you create campaigns that ensure a 2-5% clickthrough rate to help you generate that $100 a day, giving you similar advice about what to promote to different audience segments.

The family bug out list segment might want to buy an 8-person tent, for example, and that could help you tremendously with your $100 a day goals – especially if you use AI to mention add-ons they need to consider – the ground pads, sleeping bags and other bug out camping gear.

You'll have to make a decision about which platforms you want to spend time on in an effort to generate profits, and you'll do this by not only seeing if there is an engaged audience, but also looking at what forms of monetization are allowed.

Some platforms allow ample affiliate promotions and selling, some have Content Creator funds, and some have built in ad revenue you can earn. Once you have made your decision on which social media platforms you are going to tap into for profits, you want to get AI to develop a schedule and plan for profitable promos that deliver valuable information to your followers.

You can prompt AI for that detail like this: “I’m going to call my account BugOutBasics and have it set up YouTube, TikTok and Facebook. I want you to create an aggressive publishing schedule for this month with topics this audience will find valuable and interesting but also give me the opportunity to promote products as an affiliate.”

AI gives you a specific schedule for each platform, creating one longer YouTube video per week, daily TikTok posts, and weekly posts and events on Facebook. If you want to, you can ask AI to make it even more aggressive, with daily or multiple daily publishings.

When AI gives you an idea for content, like a TikTok video called Quick Tips for Packing a Lightweight Bug Out Bag, ask it for a video script and storyboard. You can take those details and create the video with an AI narrator or plug it into an AI video tool like InVideo to do all of the work for you.

Be sure to ask AI to: “Give optimization advice for the content for increased discoverability and engagement, including details about the thumbnail, descriptions, and tags.”

You might add something like this: “Use the attached landing page copy as an example of the style and tone I want this one to represent.” Or, see what it comes up with on its own before doing that – you might end up with something better!

AI is going to instantly deliver a headline, add a small bit of storyline (2 sentences, which we forgot to mention), the bulletpoint benefits, and the call to action. Here’s what it looks like:

[Your Name]

If you want to, you can have AI develop an on-going series for you, not just the initial welcome email. If you want to do this, and monetize the emails, prompt AI like this: “Create the first 5 emails after the welcome email to send out that include tips and a mention of one specific product they might need – be general about the brand, and I will select the best option to link to. Don’t make the email sound like a sales letter – I want it to be very natural and friendly, with a mention of something that can help them.”

It starts by creating a tip email for essentials on what to pack in your bug out bag. The tips given help them learn how to shop for one based on compartmentalization, weight distribution, and durability and includes tips on updating the contents every few months.

But instead of promoting bug out bags, it mentions a specific tool every bug out bag needs, a high quality multi tool. It tells why, and how to shop for one – and leaves room for you to link out.

At this time, you’re ready to start generating traffic. You might have a blog or you might not. You can prompt AI to give you a blog post to help get people on your list like this: “Considering what the lead magnet topic is about, what is a good idea for a blog post that this audience will read and see the lead magnet as a good option to download? I don’t want them about the same thing. I also want the title optimized for search engines.”

It comes up with a  great option: 5 Critical Mistakes Families Make When Preparing for Emergency Survival. It gives an outline and in seconds, you can prompt it to write a pillar blog post that will pull in traffic and recommend signing up for the free download.

You can also prompt AI to tell you what to name your social media accounts, what to put in the profile’s bio to get people to download the lead magnet, and which platforms are best for your niche.

Prompt it like this: “For this specific niche topic of bugging out for survival, where I will target a variety of bug out audiences (not just families), what social media platforms would be best for high traffic and list building and what are some account name options that might be available on all of them? Give me wording for the profile’s bio to get them to download a free report.”

You never want to fully rely on the information it gives you. You can use it as a starting point, but go out on these platforms and see for yourself. You're looking to see if there is a big enough audience that is engaged with other accounts, and that will give you a good indicator of where you should be marketing to earn your $100 per day.

 Not only does it list platforms you might want to check out and potential account names, but it then gives you your profile bio wording (including an emoji to draw attention to it) In a way that includes a call to action getting the user to go to your landing page to download something free.

One of the fastest ways to generate your $100 a day profits is to be able to market to people who have shown a specific interest in the topic you are covering. If you fail to build a list, you have to work harder to find a brand new audience every 24 hours and convince them to have enough trust in you to convert into a buyer.

Instead of working harder, do the initial work using AI to set up your list builders so that you can send out targeted campaigns via email that are tailored to specific audience segments in your niche.

With a list, it's much easier to achieve your monetary goals. AI can research, brainstorm, and create the perfect topic for a lead magnet, craft your landing page copy so that it converts well for you, write your nurturing emails to build loyalty from your audience, and even generate traffic from your social media accounts and on your blog to get people subscribed quickly and easily.

You don't want to have just one lead magnet and landing page. You want numerous ones. Even if you are targeting a micro topic like bugging out in the survival niche, you still have people who will feel as if your message is better suited for them if the lead magnet mentions their skill level, budget, or other aspect.

So the first prompt you can give your AI for this process is something like this: “I want to build a list of people interested specifically in bugging out for survival. I might segment them by people on a limited budget, beginners versus advanced, and so on. Give me a list of 10 lead magnet ideas each with a unique slant for a specific and different audience and make them enticing enough to convince them to enter their contact information.”

AI is going to deliver options like this:

Budget-Conscious Beginner’s Guide

• Title: "The Frugal Prepper: Your Essential Guide to Bugging Out on a Budget"
• Slant: Tailored for beginners looking to prepare without breaking the bank, this guide includes cost-effective strategies and DIY solutions.

The others include a Checklist for Advanced Preppers, Family-Focused Bug Out Plan, Urban Bug Out Blueprint, Bug Out Vehicle Guide, Wilderness Survival Manual, Pet Owner’s Guide to Bugging Out, Fitness Plan for Bug Out Survival, Seasonal Bugging Out, etc.

Once in awhile, AI will deliver something that doesn't fit right. In this case, that option was: Digital Security Guide for Preppers. It has nothing to do with bugging out, but in the slant section, it tried to tie it in by talking about maintaining digital communication during bug outs.

This is a good starting point for you, and having it create these lead magnets can be done in less than a day because it will outline and write them in mere minutes. Your next prompt will be something like this: “Create an outline for the Family-Focused Bug Out Plan.”

AI is going to get back to you with the introduction, and a main outline with sub-bulletpoints to cover. Make sure you carefully look through it to make a decision about whether or not you need any additions or deletions from the outline.

Then prompt it to finish the job like this: “Start by writing the introduction using the tone and style I trained you on. Make sure the introduction is as least 350 words.” When AI delivers the initial section (never have it try to write the entire report at once), make sure it meets with the criteria you set forth previously.

If anything is amiss, redirect it at that moment so it can carry on in the correct manner from that point on. After each report, before moving on to the next one, have AI craft the landing page copy for you.

If you have trained AI to adhere to a certain style using other landing pages you liked or created, remind it to create in that same style. For example: “Now that you’ve created this report, write high-converting landing page copy with a single headline, 5 bulletpoint benefits, and a strong call to action with urgency to get people signed up to the list to download it for free.”

The first thing you want to do is make it so that you can work with your AI tool efficiently and effectively. You have to take a little bit of time in the beginning to train your tool to work the way you want it to.

Start by having it take a deep dive into the topic or slant that you are going to target. Sometimes, AI will be too broad or too narrow, so you need to set the parameters for exactly what you want to discuss.

An example of this might be in the survival niche, where you have the option to target all survival topics from food and water to self-defense and homesteading. Or, you can decide to have a more narrow slant where you just cover bugging out for survival.

You also want to work with AI to determine what preferences you want in place as you work with it to earn your $100 per day. If you have no clue about how to do things, you can prompt AI to help you decide which social media platforms you should be working on.

Or, you might already have an idea and you can specify to AI that you only want it focused on creating content for your blog, emails, info products, and social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok.

Another thing you want to train it for is how you want your promotions to unfold. One of the ways you'll be monetizing in this strategy is with affiliate marketing and the sale of your own products.

It's a good idea to show AI examples of what an effective promo is in your view. If you don't have any idea, you can always work with AI to get something that you feel will be effective and then later tweak it as needed.

But if you do know of sites that are converting well with product reviews or sales letters, you want to attach a copy of that to AI so that it knows the same level of quality you are going to be looking for.

This is also true for any certain style that you want. Even in the survival niche, you have people who are more focused on self-reliance and happiness as a homesteader and then you have others who approach it with a very dark and dire viewpoint.

By giving AI some preliminary instructions on what it's going to be doing for you and in what way, you will eliminate wasted time having to constantly redirect your AI tool as you go.

So if you have any specific research resources or things you do or don't want mentioned in your niche content, make sure that you clarify that early on. On ChatGPT, you can even set up custom instructions for it to follow.

Another thing you can do if you decide to invest in the pay the plan is develop a custom GPT that you can log onto every day that is fully trained in the exact manner you want it to work from.

Be sure to specify what tone and length you want your content to be, whether or not there are any topics to avoid (such as aliens in the survival niche) or products you want it to leave out of promotions.

If you have a certain slant like eco-friendly homesteading, train AI to make sure everything it delivers for you has that concept in mind. You can even upload training materials and prompt AI to train itself using those materials.

A good training prompt might look like this: "Analyze the following set of blog posts from leading survival and outdoor websites. Identify common themes related to wilderness survival and homesteading. Note the style and tone used, particularly how products are mentioned and recommended. Summarize these findings and understand key elements that should be incorporated into my ongoing content to resonate with survival enthusiasts."

When you have all of this in place, it will make it much easier for AI to craft content that is high converting, helping you achieve that $100 a day goal. It will know from the very beginning each time you log on which demographic it is targeting, and how to tailor the content for that audience in a way that gets more engagement and earns more profits for you.
