95% of people are using ChatGPT wrong…

They open a tab, type a question, get a decent response… and move on.

Meanwhile, power users are building entire workflows, writing like experts, and automating hours of work – with the same tool.

Here’s what they’re doing differently (and what I broke down in this new ChatGPT: Ultimate Guide):

――

1. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐠𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐆𝐏𝐓.

Using extensions like:

󠁯•󠁏 AIPRM for community prompt

󠁯•󠁏 Speechify to convert text to audio

󠁯•󠁏 Ground news to get balanced news summaries

2. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐮𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐬.

Game-changing plugins like:

󠁯•󠁏 AskYourPDF to summarize & search 100+ page PDFs

󠁯•󠁏 PromptPerfect to improve weak prompts instantly

󠁯•󠁏 Video Insights to analyze YouTube videos without watching them

And yes, Zapier to automate actual workflows

3. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐮𝐬𝐞 ‘𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠’ 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐮𝐩 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐆𝐏𝐓’𝐬 𝐈𝐐.

It’s not just about answering—you can simulate experts.
Try:

󠁯•󠁏 “Act like Steve Jobs” (for product feedback)

󠁯•󠁏 “Act like an SEO specialist” (for content strategy)

󠁯•󠁏 “Act like a Science Tutor” (to learn complex topics)

󠁯•󠁏 “Act like an Absurdist” (for creative writing prompts)

4. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨.

ChatGPT can write in 12+ styles:

󠁯•󠁏 Formal vs Personal
(Imagine tailoring your emails, blogs, or pitch decks on the fly)

5. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐬.

This formula changed how I write prompts forever:

𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚 𝐨𝐟 [𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚], [𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐛] [𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭 & 𝐋𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡] [𝐎𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞]. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞 [𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚]. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐬 [𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞] 𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 [𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞].

Example:

“Act like a Consultant. Create a 500-word report comparing Claude vs ChatGPT for customer service teams. Use real use cases and keep the tone persuasive for execs.”

6. They know how to jailbreak.

Nope, not illegal. Just creative prompting:

“Jailbreakchat”

“An LVM within an LLM”

“Roleplay jailbreaks”

All help you get more detailed, nuanced, or creative outputs.

7. They avoid accidental plagiarism.

Detection tools are getting sharper: GPTZero, DetectGPT, Watermark method, etc.

So they use smart rewriting tools, paraphrasers, or simply tweak the temperature setting to get more unique results.

This isn’t just a cheat sheet. It’s a mini masterclass in how to actually use ChatGPT like a power tool.

I put everything into this one-page guide to save you hours of experimentation.
