In today’s fast-paced digital world, productivity is the new superpower and ChatGPT has become one of the most powerful tools to boost it. While most people use it to write simple emails or brainstorm ideas, the top 1% of users are leveraging ChatGPT on a completely different level.
They’re not just chatting, they’re building, automating, strategizing, and scaling their work using the full potential of AI.
In this post, I’ll show you 20 advanced ChatGPT tips and tricks that can transform how you work, create, and think the same way elite professionals and creators do.
1. Use Custom Instructions for Personalized Replies
You can teach ChatGPT to respond exactly how you like.
Go to Settings → Custom Instructions and tell it:
- Who you are
- How you want it to respond
This makes your outputs consistent with your tone, goals, and brand — especially useful for businesses like Karamel Hub, where brand voice matters.
2. Build Long-Term Memory
The best ChatGPT users enable and refine “memory” — allowing ChatGPT to remember your preferences, writing style, and ongoing projects.
It’s like having a personal assistant who gets smarter with every chat.
3. Chain Prompts for Better Results
Don’t expect one prompt to do all the work.
Start with:
- Step 1: “Generate 5 ideas for a landing page.”
- Step 2: “Now expand idea 3 into a wireframe outline.”
- Step 3: “Write a persuasive hero section for idea 3.”
This progressive prompting yields more accurate and detailed results.
4. Ask ChatGPT to Role-Play Experts
Example:
“Act as a senior product designer and critique this user flow.”
Role prompts help you get responses from different professional perspectives — strategy, marketing, or development — all from one tool.
5. Use ChatGPT for Code Reviews
Developers at Karamel Hub use ChatGPT to scan PHP, Laravel, and JavaScript code for bugs and optimization tips.
Just paste your snippet and ask:
“Review this for performance and security improvements.”
6. Combine ChatGPT with Other Tools
Use tools like:
- Zapier: Automate workflows
- Canva: For AI-generated content ideas
- Notion or Google Docs: For content drafts
Integrations multiply ChatGPT’s power for businesses.
7. Create Reusable Prompt Templates
The top creators have “prompt templates” for emails, blogs, product descriptions, and ads.
Example:
“Write a high-converting Facebook ad for [product name] targeting [audience]. Tone: [funny/educational/emotional].”
8. Use ChatGPT for Real-Time Market Research
Ask it to summarize trends from 2024–2025, identify emerging technologies, or compare competitors.
Always verify data, but it gives you a powerful research starting point.
9. Master the Art of Refinement
After every response, reply with:
“Make it shorter.”
“Add emotion.”
“Focus on small business owners.”
Iteration = precision.
10. Turn ChatGPT into Your Content Calendar Generator
Example:
“Create a 30-day content calendar for Instagram for a web design agency.”
Karamel Hub uses this to plan and schedule social media campaigns in minutes.
11. Use It for Business Strategy
Ask:
“Act as a business strategist. Suggest 5 ways Karamel Hub can increase its monthly client leads.”
AI can reveal insights you might miss.
12. Summarize Long Documents & YouTube Videos
Use it to summarize PDFs, blog posts, or video transcripts.
Prompt example:
“Summarize this 10-minute video into 5 key takeaways.”
13. Learn New Skills Faster
From Vue.js to SEO, ChatGPT can teach step-by-step with daily learning plans, resources, and exercises — something we encourage at Karamel Hub’s learning hub.
14. Turn ChatGPT into a Brainstorm Partner
Don’t ask “What should I post?”
Ask:
“Give me 20 unconventional social media ideas that would go viral in Nigeria’s tech space.”
15. Analyze Competitor Websites
Example:
“Analyze the structure and conversion elements of https://example.com and show how to improve it.”
Perfect for digital agencies like Karamel Hub.
16. Generate Entire Website Copy
Provide your brand name, target audience, and tone.
Prompt:
“Write all website copy for a web development agency in Lagos targeting SMEs.”
17. Train ChatGPT with Your Brand Guidelines
Paste your brand colors, tone, slogans, and mission. Then say:
“Always write using this brand voice.”
Now, every output aligns with your business identity.
18. Use It as a Virtual Interview Coach
Whether you’re hiring or applying, you can simulate interviews.
Example:
“Act as a hiring manager interviewing a frontend developer. Ask technical and behavioral questions.”
19. Craft Advanced SEO Content
Prompt:
“Write a 1,500-word SEO article on ‘AI tools for small businesses in Nigeria’ optimized for Google with H2, H3 tags and meta description.”
This saves hours in blog creation.
20. Use ChatGPT for Thought Leadership
The best creators use AI to sharpen their personal voice, not replace it.
Let it guide your thoughts, polish your writing, and help you communicate your ideas clearly.
Final Thoughts
The difference between an average ChatGPT user and the top 1% is strategy.
At Karamel Hub, we use AI not just for productivity — but to inspire innovation, simplify workflows, and create smarter digital experiences for our clients.
