How to Use ChatGPT Like a Pro: The Framework That Puts You in the Top 1%


Introduction: The ChatGPT Paradox

Here's a startling statistic: 85% of ChatGPT users are getting average results. Not because ChatGPT isn't powerful—it is. But because they're using it at a surface level.

If you're a designer, video editor, content creator, or professional using ChatGPT daily but feeling underwhelmed by the results, this post is for you. Today, I'm sharing the exact framework that separates the top 1% from everyone else.

The Problem with Generic Prompts

Walk into any creative workspace today, and you'll see everyone using ChatGPT. But here's what most people don't realize:

Generic Prompts = Generic Results

When you ask ChatGPT something vague like "Give me ideas for a social media post," you're essentially asking for vanilla ice cream when you could be ordering a custom-made dessert tailored to your exact taste.

The One Rule That Changes Everything

After months of experimentation, I've discovered the golden rule of ChatGPT prompting:

Detailed Context = Perfect Results

Let me show you exactly what this means with a real example.

The RTBR Framework Explained

The framework that transformed my ChatGPT usage consists of four critical elements:

1. ROLE - Define Who ChatGPT Should Be

Don't let ChatGPT be a generic assistant. Assign it a specific expert role.

Bad: "Help me with this"
Good: "Act as an Expert Ad Copywriter with 10+ years of experience in advertising agencies"

The role tells ChatGPT WHO it is. An expert copywriter thinks differently than a beginner. This context shapes the entire response.

2. TASK - Specify Exactly What You Need

Be crystal clear about what you want.

Bad: "Give me some ideas"
Good: "Write a headline that I can use on a social media creative post"

The task defines WHAT needs to be done. Specifically, a headline—not a full copy, not a paragraph, but a precise deliverable.

3. BACKGROUND - Provide Context

Give ChatGPT the full picture.

Bad: "For a jewelry brand"
Good: "For a luxury jewelry brand promoting bridal jewelry"

The background explains the CONTEXT. What kind of brand? What product? What category? This information is crucial for relevant results.

4. RESULT - Describe How the Output Should Look

Define the tone, style, and target audience.

Bad: [Nothing specified]
Good: "The headline should be luxurious, emotional, and targeting brides-to-be"

The result clarifies HOW you want the output. This ensures ChatGPT matches your exact needs.

Real-World Example: Before and After

Let me show you the dramatic difference this framework makes.

Example 1: Graphic Designer

❌ Generic Prompt: "I want to make a social media post on a jewelry brand - give me a headline and an image prompt"

Result: Dull, generic output that could apply to any brand.

✅ Detailed Prompt: "Consider yourself an Expert Ad Copywriter with 10+ years of experience in an advertising agency, and you're asked to write a headline that I can use on a social media creative post of a luxury jewelry brand who wanted to promote their bridal jewelry. The headline should be luxurious, emotional, and target brides-to-be."

Result: 10x better—specific, on-brand, and emotionally resonant.

More Use Cases Across Different Professions

Use Case #1: Video Editors

❌ Generic Prompt: "I am editing a video for the product Ragi Malt, and I need a script"

✅ Improved Prompt: "Consider yourself an Expert Video Ad Scriptwriter who is asked to write a script for the product Ragi Malt. You have multiple years of experience in the field of scriptwriting for protein products. This video ad will be 30-40 seconds. This ad is for an audience interested in protein products and aims to generate leads. Make sure not to keep the script too salesy—I want it to relate with the audience. The language of the video will be in Hinglish."

Key improvements: Defined expertise, specified duration, identified target audience, set tone, and clarified language preference.

Use Case #2: Content Creators

❌ Generic Prompt: "I wanted to create a carousel on Graphic Design mistakes by designers"

✅ Improved Prompt: "Consider yourself an Expert Content Writer for the platform Instagram, having multiple years of experience. I need a 5-slider carousel on Graphic Design mistakes that will educate beginner designers. Slide 1 should be hooky to grab attention and end with a CTA question."

Key improvements: Specified platform, defined format (5 slides), identified target audience (beginners), set structure requirements (hook + CTA).

The Secret Trick: Let ChatGPT Improve Your Prompts

Here's a game-changing hack I discovered: Let ChatGPT optimize your own prompts.

How It Works:

Step 1: Write your basic prompt (in English or Hinglish)

Step 2: Add this line at the end: "Now analyze this prompt and rewrite it to be more effective. Add specific details for better results."

Example:

Basic Prompt: "Create Instagram post ideas for a fitness brand"

Added line: "Now analyze this prompt and make it 10x better"

ChatGPT will automatically enhance your prompt with details you might have missed—target audience, content pillars, posting frequency, tone, etc.

When to Use This Trick

Use this technique when:

  • You're unsure how to frame your prompt
  • You want to explore different angles
  • You're working on complex image generation prompts (this is where I use it most)

I personally use this trick extensively for image prompts, and the results are consistently amazing.

The More Context, The Better

Remember this principle: The more detailed context you provide, the better your results will be.

Think of ChatGPT as a new team member. The more information you give them about:

  • Your brand voice
  • Your target audience
  • Your goals
  • Your constraints
  • Your preferred style

...the better they can deliver exactly what you need.

Practice Makes Perfect

Like any skill, using ChatGPT effectively requires practice. The framework is simple, but mastery comes from daily application.

Start today:

  1. Take a prompt you're planning to use
  2. Apply the RTBR framework
  3. Compare the results with your old prompting style
  4. Iterate and refine

The more you practice, the more intuitive this becomes.

Conclusion: Join the Top 1%

The difference between average ChatGPT users and power users isn't access to secret features or premium tools. It's simply the quality of their prompts.

By implementing the RTBR framework—Role, Task, Background, Result—you immediately elevate your ChatGPT game. Add the secret trick of letting ChatGPT improve your prompts, and you're operating at a level most users never reach.

Remember: Everyone has access to the same AI. But only 1% use it effectively.

Now you're equipped to join them.
