Trevor Longino shared his process with The Performers recently. So, I am sharing this with you.

The whole point of AI is to get more done with less effort.

The key to using AI is to not give it a prompt. Instead, you answer its questions, and then make it work for you like an assistant. The best part is that it will give you prompts which will then yield better and better outputs.

The first things you're going to want to learn is how to tell ChatGPT to become a prompt creator. For this case, we’ll use “ice noodles” as our fake product.

Before you start, make sure you have ChatGPT4. (You can compare between free and paid versions.)

Use the following text to get ChatGPT to be your prompt creator:

To follow the ice noodles business case and get more context, use this link to follow the entire story and then create one for yourself.

Step # 1: Use ChatGPT as your copywriting intern to get ideas (basic, ignore this if you’re a pro)

Continuing with the ice noodles product, we need to get ideas from ChatGPT. (Unlike with humans, it won’t feel offended if you say an idea sucks.)

Here’s the first copy and ideas for your ice noodles product:

Once you have this copy, you need to incorporate your personal value props and give it more context to provide more variants.

Step # 2: Landing copy to get language ideas (basic, ignore this if you’re a pro)

Before writing the landing page, get ideas based on a similar copy and products. It will give some words and text that you can definitely use in your copy.

Here is the result:

And then based on this iterate and keep chatting further to find more copy ideas.

Step # 3 - Get into your persona’s head without knowing them or reading reviews

One of the really powerful things you can do with Chat GPT is you can give it an instruction to become a person.

And once you give it instructions to become a person, you can then tell it to interview itself. And when it interviews itself, there's some additional things you can to tell it to do.

So in this case, our persona is a Gen Z in their late teens/early 20s. (I was thinking of my sister who's 22, although she's not named Naomi.)

Here’s the prompt:

You can follow this entire thread to understand this user interview and research.

The way an LLM works is it samples trillions of blocks of text, and then as it's writing, it predicts what the most likely next word will be. And if you give it information like this up front, it's now going to go through the giant data set containing the trillions of phrases of text it has and look for ones that belong to this sort of person on the Internet.

As you're asking it these questions, it's narrowing its sample down to what this kind of person might say. This is actually a surprisingly good way to conduct user research; it’s extremely fast, completely free and infinitely variable.

Note: Naomi should be prepared with steelman arguments. It is basically you're telling ChatGPT, come up with the best reasons you can, why this is a bad idea, because then if I'm able to defeat those reasons in my marketing messaging, I'm overcoming the most likely complaints my potential user could have.

Here’s an example from this prompt that I got but would have otherwise missed:

My audience is GenZ and they care more about the environment than millennials.

The important thing here is to keep asking the questions that you would actually ask a customer to generate insights. Here are some questions I asked in my interviews:

• What progress were they trying to make with product X?

• Why did they choose one product over another?


• What does success look like with product X?

• How is product X different?

• How would you describe product X to others?

• Why would you recommend product X?

• Why [persona name] would be missing out if they didn’t try product X?

And so on.

Step # 4 – How to find headlines and value props

Here’s the prompt that you need to give to ChatGPT:

You're an expert at marketing & branding and you've been tasked with explaining the main value proposition of a new company.

It's going to then generate output showing the value to the user in terms of time or money saved.

And then basically with these outputs you get nine different headlines; three for logic, three for emotion, and three for social proof.

If you want to, you can further modify this by specifying: only use positive language, or only use negative language. In this way, you can generate many, many ad headlines very, very quickly. But what you need to do is every time you use this, modify the product and modify the user. Once you've done that, here's the output you get out of this.

When you check ChatGPT4’s responses, they’re often better and could be used for your headlines.

Now, here you can get smart about which copy to use and create headlines out of it.

Let’s move into how to create image ads.

Step # 5 – Creating images ads with AI

There are a couple of tools where you can steal the prompt and create images.

• Lexica.art

• Openart.ai

• Designer.microsoft

• Creativeautomatic.com

• https://prompts.aituts.com/

You can search images you like and find the prompt to create images.

Keep iterating and searching until you find the perfect image and then put the headlines in Canva.

And voila! You’ll have headlines with ads.

Here’s the final ad image:

If you want to make multiple variations & in multiple formats, then use Creative Automatic.

I can’t lie here; the results are average, but in less than 30 minutes it’s come up with multiple ideas and formats that you can further iterate on.

In short, now you can:

• Interrogate your audience

• Understand the key value prop

• Create the first version of the landing page

• Come up with ad images with copy that you iterate on

This all seems fine as a process and workflow to follow. But is there an ad that Trevor created and it worked really well.

Trevor shared part of the landing page so you can see the final result and how it looks:

How to create UGC scripts and briefs

But there’s more to this than just ads. Once you can write AI ad scripts, you can easily try TikTok AI script writer. It gave me a pretty good script copy when I tried it.

On theadvanced setting, you can get more specific about how to get good copy out of it.

I also tried AI script for one of my brands, and I have to say it is pretty close and definitely a good start:

Here is a longer script:

I would say, I will tweak the copy a little bit, but it does come close. The most important thing to remember is that we use this process to get ideas, and not to get the exact copy we need.

Please keep in mind that I'm not claiming these scripts are the absolute best, but they are quite good. With a bit of editing and refinement, they have the potential to become GREAT.

Here’s another way to get AI to help you write scripts the way you want.

I learned this from Ashwin from his ChatGPT guide.

Here’s the prompt I found in Ashwin’s guide and I reworked it for me:

You can now give more instructions to ChatGPT to make it even more effective with tone, length and some important keywords you want it to include.

Now get more specific with b-rolls and hooks to improve it even further.

I like it and now I don’t need to start from zero.

Here’s the link to my ChatGPT script prompt if you want to keep it for yourself.

The whole point is to give it multiple script structures in order to get script ideas that you could have written. Give it to your UGC creators and they’ll be thankful to you for doing the preliminary work.

And now with the script, you can even give it a brief:

Follow the link to see how it looks

Hope these scripts help you a little bit and inspire you to use ChatGPT. Let it be your new best friend and help you become more efficient. This is the future with AI: do more by doing less.
