Prompt of the Week
An AI prompt for marketers is a text input designed to guide an AI like ChatGPT in generating creative marketing ideas and copy. It helps you leverage AI to enhance your campaigns and decision-making processes.
This Week's Feature: Show, Don't Tell
For writers, "Show, don't tell" means using vivid descriptions and actions rather than directly stating them. Showing instead of telling helps readers experience the story through their senses and emotions, making the narrative more engaging and immersive. For example...
Telling: "John was very tired after the long journey."
Showing: "John slumped into the chair, his eyes barely open, as he tried to shake off the weariness of the long journey."
The Show, Don't Tell prompt will ensure you're following this principle. It looks for areas where you're just telling instead of showing, then provides thoughtful suggestions to shift your copy into active, engaging mode.
You can access the full prompt here.
But, you'll find a small preview below:
Example 1: Violation - Telling
Original: "John was very angry. He felt betrayed by his friend and didn't know how to handle his emotions."
Revision Needed: The text is directly telling the reader about John's feelings rather than showing them through John's actions or dialogue.
Example 1: Revision - Showing
Revised: "John's hands clenched into fists, a scowl etching deep into his brow. The shattered remains of the coffee mug he'd hurled against the wall seemed to echo the splinters of trust his friend had left behind."
Unraveling AI
Subscriber Submitted Question: "As copywriters, we're taught to write at a low reading level for clear, easy to consume copy. But when I try and instruct ChatGPT to write at a 7th grade reading level, the result is copy that reads like it was written for ACTUAL seventh grade children. How can I avoid this?"
Our Answer: To get the right balance in your copy, just be clear about what you're looking for. When you ask for something to be written at a 7th grade level, make sure to clarify that it's for adults. You want simple and straight talk, not something that sounds like it's meant for middle schoolers.
Instruct ChatGPT you're looking for copy that's easy to understand but still smart and adult-friendly. As usual, providing actual examples will increase the likelihood of better outputs inline with your desired outcome.
