5 ChatGPT Mistakes That Are Killing Your Content (And How to Fix Them)
ChatGPT content mistakes
Let’s get one thing straight , ChatGPT can be your best-kept secret or your biggest creative crutch.
If you’ve been getting results that feel bland, stiff, or just not you chances are, you’re making one (or more) of these common mistakes. But don’t worry, they’re easy to fix.
Here are the 5 ChatGPT mistakes that are quietly ruining your content and what to do instead.
Mistake #1: Using It Like Google
The Problem: You’re asking questions instead of giving commands.
Example Prompt:
“What are some good Instagram hooks for photographers?”
The Fix: Be the boss. Tell it what to do, not what to search.
Better Prompt:
“You are a bold Instagram strategist. Write 10 scroll-stopping hooks for a photographer’s Reels about lighting tricks. Tone: confident and clever.”
Mistake #2: Expecting a Perfect First Draft
The Problem: You treat the first answer as the final answer.
The Fix: Iterate! Follow up with: “Make it more emotional,” “Add urgency,” or “Rephrase in simpler language.”
Pro Tip: Think of ChatGPT as your rough draft partner and not your editor-in-chief.
Mistake #3: Ignoring Your Brand Voice
The Problem: You forget to tell it how to sound so it defaults to boring.
The Fix: Include tone of voice in every prompt.
Example:
“Use a playful, sassy tone like a brand that loves confidence and creative freedom.”
Bonus: Train it on your own writing samples (see my guide on how to sound human).
Mistake #4: Forgetting the Formatting
The Problem: You get a wall of text and now you have to manually format everything.
The Fix: Add formatting requests to your prompts:
- Use line breaks
- Short paragraphs
- Bulleted lists
- Clear CTAs
Example Prompt:
“Write an email in short paragraphs with a skimmable layout and a clear CTA at the end.”
Mistake #5: Not Giving Enough Context
The Problem: You assume it knows your offer, your audience, and your goals.
The Fix: Feed it what it needs:
- Who you are
- Who your audience is
- What you’re selling
- What the purpose is
Example Prompt:
“You are a copywriter for a digital course creator. My audience is new photographers who want to learn posing. Write a fun, hype-building email about an upcoming mini-course. CTA: join the waitlist.”
