ChatGPT prompts for social media managers

Everyone is looking for the best AI tools to use with social media to help create new posts. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool today - and many social media marketers are prompting it in creative ways to step up their social media game.

While using ChatGPT, it is helpful to give as much background information about the client to ChatGPT. You should ideally create a different chat for each client you have - and always keep the chat open and running. Feed in as much information as you can about the client's business, and only ask questions about the client in the specific client chat. This way chatGPT has all the background information always, and can also access past responses to give you better answers.

Before we get into the prompts, here is a summary of the top reasons to use ChatGPT as a social media manager:

  1. For ideation and strategy ideas
  2. For writing social media copy for your posts for your clients
  3. For ideation on post topics
  4. For editing hashtags
  5. For replying to social media comments
  6. For modifying and rewording content in a different tone to what you have already posted.
  7. For creating detailed scripts for a podcast
  8. For bouncing ideas with someone
  9. For summarising content so that you can understand something quickly
  10. For deciding what type of content to post during the week
