10 Tips for Creating Your Own AI Copywriter

As AI continues to revolutionize the world of content creation, many women entrepreneurs are curious about how they can integrate AI copywriting tools into their business.

Tools like custom GPTs (Generative Pre-trained Transformers) offer a powerful way to streamline your content creation process, but knowing how to properly configure and interact with your AI is key to making it an effective partner in your business.

Below are 10 tips to help you get the most out of your custom AI copywriter, with an example prompt for each.

1. Define Your AI’s Role Clearly

When creating your custom AI, start by clearly defining what tasks it will handle. Is it generating blog posts, writing social media captions, or creating email newsletters? Defining its role helps set the right expectations.

Example Prompt:
"You are an AI copywriter focused on writing compelling social media captions for women entrepreneurs in the wellness industry. Write an Instagram caption that promotes a free guide on 'Self-Care for Busy Women'."

2. Set Your AI’s Tone and Style

Every business has a unique voice, and your AI should align with that. Whether you prefer a professional, casual, or playful tone, setting this up during configuration is essential to ensure consistency across your content.

Example Prompt:
"Write a blog post introduction with a warm and encouraging tone that speaks directly to Gen X women entrepreneurs, inviting them to discover the benefits of using AI in their business."

3. Narrow Down the Audience

Your AI will perform better when it understands the specific audience it’s writing for. Defining your target demographic will make your content more personalized and relatable.

Example Prompt:
"Create a LinkedIn post targeted at women over 40 who are looking to start an online business, highlighting three ways AI can help them simplify their workload."

4. Be Specific with Content Format

Be clear about the type of content you want. If you need a blog post, specify its structure. If it’s an email, mention the sections like subject line, introduction, and call-to-action.

Example Prompt:
"Draft a 5-paragraph blog post on 'The Benefits of AI for Solopreneurs,' including a catchy introduction, three key benefits, and a conclusion with a call-to-action."

5. Set Clear Objectives

Make sure your AI understands what each piece of content is meant to achieve. Are you aiming to inform, sell, engage, or entertain? Setting a clear objective ensures that the content is more aligned with your business goals.

Example Prompt:
"Write a sales email promoting an upcoming webinar on 'Using AI to Automate Your Content Marketing,' with the objective of increasing sign-ups by emphasizing time-saving benefits."

6. Give Your AI Context

The more context your AI has, the better it will perform. If you’re asking it to write something, provide background details like past performance or audience preferences to help the AI create more tailored content.

Example Prompt:
"Create a Facebook post promoting a digital course on 'Time Management for Mompreneurs.' Our last course saw high engagement with tips on balancing family and business, so include a similar theme."

7. Guide the AI on Length

Some content requires short and snappy messages, while other pieces may benefit from in-depth explanations. Let your AI know how long or short the content should be, and it will adjust accordingly.

Example Prompt:
"Write a short, two-sentence promotional tweet encouraging followers to sign up for a free AI training session for business owners."

8. Provide Examples of What You Like

Show your AI examples of content you like so it can understand your style and tone better. Even though AI doesn’t “see” examples like we do, describing the style or sharing snippets can guide it.

Example Prompt:
"Generate a blog post conclusion similar to this: 'In today’s fast-paced world, women entrepreneurs can leverage the power of AI to stay ahead without sacrificing their personal time. Ready to dive in? Start today!'"

9. Use Step-by-Step Instructions

For more complex tasks, like writing a blog post or an email series, break it down into clear steps so the AI can follow the structure and create content that aligns with your expectations.

Example Prompt:
"Create an outline for a 5-part email series introducing AI tools to new business owners. Each email should build upon the last, starting with a basic introduction and ending with an offer for an AI course."

10. Iterate and Fine-Tune as You Go

Don’t expect your AI to be perfect from the get-go. Keep adjusting and fine-tuning both your prompts and configurations. As you continue to interact with your AI, it will get better at understanding your preferences.

Example Prompt:
"Based on feedback, rewrite the introduction of my blog post to be more conversational and engaging, addressing the common fears entrepreneurs have about using AI."
