5 common Mistakes while using ChatGPT

1. Copying outputs word-for-word
   1. Treating ChatGPT’s responses as final, without tweaking them, can leave your content sounding generic and impersonal.
   2. Always edit the AI’s output—add your own tone, examples, and adjustments to avoid robotic-sounding content.
2. Letting it write your resume entirely
   1. Relying on AI to craft your full resume can backfire. It often lacks the personal stories and detailed specifics that make your experience stand out.
3. Overlooking money-making use cases
   1. Many users only ask ChatGPT for essays or grammar fixes, missing its true value for business tasks.
   2. You can use it to draft proposals, client emails, YouTube scripts, SEO-friendly blog posts, digital products (like e-books or checklists), market research, idea validation, and more.
4. Not improving at prompt-writing
   1. A powerful prompt can make all the difference. Vague requests lead to vague answers.
   2. Instead, be specific: assign it a role (“Act as a social media strategist”) and clearly state your goal (e.g., “Give me 10 engaging Instagram post ideas for wellness coaches”).
5. Using it like Google, not as a partner
   1. Google gives links; ChatGPT gives structured answers and remembers context—so the conversation can evolve.
   2. Treat it like a collaborator. Ask follow-up questions such as: “Can you rewrite this with a relaxed tone?” or “Can you make it more persuasive?”
