I spent 18 months breaking ChatGPT 100 different ways.
Vague prompts. Bad tone. Zero traction. But after all that trial and error, I found a formula.
Here are 7 ChatGPT hacks that unlocked real leverage & saved me hundreds of hours. I won't waste your time:

Here are 7 ChatGPT hacks that unlocked real leverage & saved me hundreds of hours. I won't waste your time:
1. Use it like a strategist, not a search engine.
Stop asking it for facts. Ask it for angles, systems, frameworks. You want leverage, not just answers.
Instead of “what are good business ideas?”
Try:

Instead of “what are good business ideas?”
Try:
“What are 7 business ideas people are quietly discussing in subreddits that are likely to explode in 3 years?” Huge difference.
2. Feed it (A LOT OF) real context, not vague prompts.
“Make this shorter” is weak. “Make this understandable to a 5th grader” is strong.

...reference docs, paste examples, show what you actually want. It’s not magic. It’s math + context.
3. Build workflows, not one-off prompts. You don’t want a one-time email.
You want a system that writes great emails every time.

...outputs & ask it what makes them great. Now you’ve got an engine, not just a button.
4. Layer prompts like a builder, not a browser.
Don’t expect gold from your first input. Ask. Refine. Reword. Reframe. Push. Test.
It's clay, not a vending machine. Massage it!

5. Use it to A/B test content
Got 8 possible headline titles? Ask it to write them and post 4 at a time on IG as a poll.
Winner advances. Run a bracket.
By the end, you’re not guessing what people click, you know.

6. Reverse-engineer your favorite writers.
Paste in writing you love and ask: “What makes this writing great?”
Then say: “Write like this from now on.” You just hired your favorite author… for free.

7. Ask it to optimize your own life.
Upload your bank statement and say: “Where am I wasting money? What can I cancel? What can I replace with a cheaper service?”
Give it receipts, transcripts, screenshots and let it point out what you’re blind to.

The people who get the most out of ChatGPT aren’t the smartest. They’re just the most specific.
Garbage in, garbage out.
Context in, leverage out.
Be strategic. Get weird. Iterate forever. You’ll be 10x faster than everyone else.
