How To Use ChatGPT The Right Way

You’re fumbling the bag if you aren’t giving ChatGPT A LOT of context.

For example, I’ve been working hard to make my photography collectible by strategically selling my fine art photography on livestreams.

I’ve sold just over $3,000 in artwork in less than 4 months and a single piece just sold for $300.

ChatGPT helped me a lot.

The key is to give ChatGPT a ton of context.

I’ve always viewed ChatGPT as a very eager and capable intern excited for its first day.

You must give it context and be ultra-specific with what you want it to do.

Confirm A Hunch

I love listening to the autobiographies of entrepreneurs. Through the great podcast called Founders, I realized that many successful entrepreneurs were first-movers of bleeding edge technology.

I wanted to learn if the same first-mover advantage helped artists so I had ChatGPT do some research for me.

Here’s what I said to ChatGPT:

Is it true that many of the greatest companies, creators and founders rode some kind of technology wave as a first mover? What are some examples. But don’t give me the most obvious ones like Steve Jobs or bill gates. I want medium size successes that are niche enough so the average person doesn’t know about it. Then do the same thing with famous artists. And can you include some photographers in there who are considered highly collectible?

ChatGPT’s answer helped me realize I’m on the right track with live commerce.

$3,000 in sales of original artwork with a minimal social following can only be achieved when (your artwork is good and) you’re riding a tech wave like live commerce on Whatnot.

Find My Target Demo

I’ve also used it to learn more about my target demographic:

Here’s what I said to ChatGPT:

My prints are 8x12in, and they’re collectibles with only a certain amount of prints produced throughout every year. I do livestreams where people specifically come to watch me be entertaining and buy my photography prints. I talk about how my prints are collectible with open editions each year with limited runs. Please explain the type of person that would be naturally interested in purchasing something like this. Give me 10 theoretical customer profiles, then ask me 5 follow-up questions to build context on my true customer profile.

ChatGPT asked me 5 follow-up questions to ensure it was giving me accurate customer profiles. From there, I can use those customer profiles to ask ChatGPT how to reach them and speak their language both online and in person.

Ask Follow Up Questions

Lastly, I highly recommend asking follow-up questions.

For example, I wanted to learn more about recent photographers and how collectible they are.

I asked it:

Who are some famous collectible photographers in the last ten years?

It gave me 10, and I asked a follow-up:

What has Jeff Wall's artwork sold for, and why did they catch such high prices?

It gave me details on certain pieces selling for more than $1,000,000 so I asked:

can you give me specific examples of sales, the edition size, when they sold and how

And it gave me all the info!

These simple question, answer and follow-up techniques are a quick way to get quick, specific details you can’t get with a simple Google.
