Prompts from this episode:

1. Podcast/Transcript Repurposing Prompt

Described by Daniel Murray:

Upload your transcript to ChatGPT and prompt:

“Act like [insert expert type—e.g., paid media strategist]. Based on this transcript, what are the top 5 takeaways that would matter most to someone in that role?”

Then:

“Format this into [a tweet thread / LinkedIn carousel / email / blog post, etc.].”

2. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) Prompt

Described by Jay Schwedelson:

Start by asking ChatGPT:

“I’m looking for the best software for [your industry/problem].”

If your company doesn't show up in the answer, follow up with:

“What prompt should I use to audit and optimize my website so that it becomes a top recommendation when someone asks that question?”

Then feed it your URL and ask for specific improvements.

3. Source Analysis Prompt

Daniel adds a follow-up idea:

“Can you analyze the sources you used to generate this answer? Why were they selected, and what makes them authoritative?”

This helps reverse-engineer the pages ChatGPT is favoring in its answers.

4. Prompt Jacking / Image Reverse-Engineering Prompt

Jay’s tip for swiping viral content:

Screenshot a viral post or ad and upload it to ChatGPT (or another AI tool) with:

“Reverse engineer this image. What prompt would generate something like this for my brand?”

Customize the elements it gives you.

5. Copywriter Style Prompt

Daniel’s favorite for headline writing:

“Act like [David Ogilvy / Gary Halbert / Joseph Sugarman]. Write 10 headlines for this product in their style.”

Or combine styles:

“Mash up Ogilvy and Halbert and write variations in their tone.”
