AI & ChatGPT 101
Brand new to AI? No problem. Here's everything you need to know in plain English. Read this section first — it takes about 5 minutes.
What Is AI?
AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. Think of it like a really smart computer helper. You type something in, and it writes something back to you. It can write emails, create social media posts, help you come up with ideas, and even help you build apps.
You don't need to know how it works on the inside. You just need to know how to talk to it. That's where prompts come in.
What Is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is one of the most popular AI tools in the world. It's made by a company called OpenAI. You type a message (called a prompt), and ChatGPT writes back to you — kind of like texting a really smart friend who knows about everything.
You can use it for free at chatgpt.com — just create an account with your email.
What Is a Prompt?
A prompt is just what you type into ChatGPT to tell it what you want. The better your prompt, the better the response you get back.
Bad prompt: "Write something about apps"
Good prompt: "Write a 3-sentence Instagram caption about why digital apps are better than online courses. Make it motivational and end with a call to action."
See the difference? The more specific you are, the better the result. That's exactly why we made this prompt library — the hard part is already done for you.
What Is MakeMyAppGPT?
MakeMyAppGPT is a custom version of ChatGPT that we built just for Apps on Purpose members. It already knows about your business, your tools, and your audience. So when you paste a prompt into it, the results are even better because it understands your world.
How to Use a Prompt (Step by Step)
1
Find a prompt below that matches what you want to create (a social post, email, app idea, etc.)
2
Click "Copy Prompt" — this copies the entire prompt to your clipboard
4
Paste the prompt into the message box at the bottom of ChatGPT (press Ctrl+V on a computer, or long-press and tap "Paste" on your phone)
5
Press Enter (or tap the send arrow) and wait a few seconds
6
Read what ChatGPT wrote back. If you like it, copy the response and use it! If you want changes, just type something like "Make it shorter" or "Make it more casual" and it will adjust.
You can always ask ChatGPT to change its response. Say things like: "Make this funnier," "Add emojis," "Rewrite this for Instagram," or "Give me 3 more options." It's like having a conversation — the more you talk to it, the better the results get.
Tips for Getting Great Results
- Be specific. Instead of "write a post," say "write an Instagram caption about why apps are better than courses, keep it under 150 words, and make it sound excited."
- Tell it who you are. Say something like "I sell digital tools to entrepreneurs" so it understands your audience.
- Ask for options. Say "Give me 5 versions" and then pick your favorite.
- Don't be afraid to ask again. If the first result isn't perfect, just say "try again" or "make it more [funny/professional/short/long]."
- Use the prompts below as-is. They're already written to get great results. Just copy, paste, and go.
✦ Now Post It
Share Your Content
You've created amazing content with AI. Now let's get it out into the world. Here are two easy ways to post it.
Option 1: Post From Your Dashboard (Recommended)
You have a built-in social media posting tool inside your account. Here's how to use it:
2
On the left sidebar, click "Marketing"
3
Then click "Social Planner"
4
Before you can post, you need to connect your social accounts. Click "Settings" (gear icon, top right of Social Planner), then click "Social Accounts" and follow the steps to connect your Facebook, Instagram, Google Business, TikTok, or LinkedIn.
5
Once connected, go back to Social Planner and click "New Post" (top right blue button)
6
Pick which accounts to post to by checking the boxes at the top (you can post to multiple accounts at once)
7
Paste your content in the text area — this is the content you created with AI
8
Add an image if you want — click the image icon to upload a photo or graphic (tip: use Canva to make them — see the section below)
9
Choose when to post: Click "Post Now" to publish immediately, or click "Schedule" to pick a specific date and time
10
Click "Schedule Post" or "Post" — and you're done!
The Social Planner also shows you a calendar view of all your scheduled posts. You can plan a whole week of content in one sitting. Try to batch your content — create 5-7 posts at once, schedule them throughout the week, and then forget about it.
Option 2: Post Directly to Social Media
If you prefer, you can also just copy the content ChatGPT created and paste it directly into your social media apps:
1
Copy the content that ChatGPT wrote for you (highlight it and press Ctrl+C, or tap "Copy" on your phone)
2
Open your social media app (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, etc.)
3
Start a new post and paste your content in the caption area
4
Add a photo or video if needed
What to Post and How Often
- Aim for 3-5 posts per week — consistency matters more than perfection
- Mix it up: educational posts, personal stories, product highlights, testimonials, behind-the-scenes, motivational quotes
- Always include a call to action: "Click the link in bio," "DM me to learn more," "Comment YES if you want this"
- Use hashtags: 5-10 relevant hashtags help new people find your posts
- Best times to post: Weekdays between 9-11 AM and 7-9 PM tend to get the most engagement
