PRACTICAL TIPS & TRICKS

Supercharge ChatGPT with Custom Instructions

🚀 Get ChatGPT to Work Your Way Every Time

Tired of typing the same instructions every time you use ChatGPT? Custom Instructions allow you to tailor ChatGPT’s responses to fit your needs - so you get the right answers, faster. Whether you want it to always format in bullet points, act like a marketing expert, or adapt responses to your industry, this feature saves time and boosts efficiency.

Here’s how to set up and optimize Custom Instructions for faster, more relevant AI responses.

⚡ Step 1: Access Custom Instructions

📌 Open ChatGPT and click on your profile (top right corner).
📌 Select “Custom Instructions” from the dropdown menu.

⚡ Step 2: Fill in Your Preferences

You'll see two key fields:

✅ What would you like ChatGPT to know about you to provide better responses?
→ Add details like your role, industry, or preferences.
→ Example: "I run a small e-commerce business and need concise, actionable marketing tips."

✅ How would you like ChatGPT to respond?
→ Define your preferred tone, format, and expertise level.
→ Example: "Always provide responses in bullet points. Keep answers concise and business-focused."

📌 Pro Tip: If you frequently ask ChatGPT for a specific task (like email drafting or content marketing advice), set it up as a default here!

⚡ Step 3: Experiment & Refine

💡 Try different instructions and tweak them as needed. The better you define your preferences, the more accurate and useful ChatGPT’s responses will be.

💡 Some custom instruction ideas:

• For Business Owners: "Summarize responses in 3 key takeaways with action steps."

• For Marketers: "Always respond as a marketing consultant with a focus on AI tools."

• For Researchers: "Provide well-structured answers with citations where possible."

• For Social Media Managers: "Give viral content ideas based on trends and engagement strategies."

⚡ Why This Matters for Your Business

✅ Saves Time – No need to repeat instructions every time.
✅ Enhances Accuracy – AI outputs are more aligned with your needs.
✅ Boosts Productivity – Get better, faster answers and focus on execution.
