Full transcript
- 0:00Going viral on LinkedIn is easy when you
- 0:02know [music] how. I run the LinkedIn
- 0:04profiles of lots of LinkedIn influencers
- 0:06on the platform and I use AI to help
- 0:08them go viral every [music] single week.
- 0:10Now, I realize that every video I've
- 0:12done on this channel that's around using
- 0:13AI to grow on LinkedIn [music]
- 0:15has been centered around Claude, but
- 0:17I've received lots of comments from you
- 0:18guys that actually you're using ChatGPT
- 0:21instead of Claude. So, for those people
- 0:23who are using ChatGPT instead of Claude,
- 0:25I want to show you how you can go viral
- 0:27on LinkedIn [music] using ChatGPT
- 0:29because it is just as easy. You just
- 0:31need to use a different set of rules as
- 0:33[music] the ones you'd use with Claude.
- 0:34In this video, I'm going to give you
- 0:36five simple steps. Follow these steps
- 0:38and your [music] ChatGPT will be your
- 0:39very best LinkedIn ghostwriter and
- 0:41you'll be going viral in no time. Let's
- 0:44get into it.
- 0:48First of all, let's be honest about the
- 0:50tool, ChatGPT, and I guess AI in general
- 0:53because where a lot of people go wrong
- 0:54is they just go into their ChatGPT and
- 0:56they get it to write a LinkedIn post
- 0:58from scratch. This is why everyone hates
- 1:01AI for social posting and this is why so
- 1:03many posts on the timeline I see are so
- 1:06bad, so clearly AI generated, and why
- 1:08lots of people think AI shouldn't be
- 1:10used to generate LinkedIn posts full
- 1:12stop. The answer is it should be used,
- 1:14it can be used effectively, it's just
- 1:16used in the wrong way 99% of the time.
- 1:18If you can use AI well, use it in the
- 1:20right places, and avoid using it in the
- 1:22wrong places, you'll have a competitive
- 1:23edge on everyone who's using it
- 1:25incorrectly. Where is ChatGPT a really
- 1:27valuable tool here? Well, it's very good
- 1:30in its ideas, research, hooks,
- 1:33structuring a post, and speed. Let me
- 1:35explain what I mean. ChatGPT has written
- 1:37more viral LinkedIn posts than any human
- 1:39alive, yes, including me. So, it
- 1:42actually knows what a good effective
- 1:44hook looks like, what a good effective
- 1:46end to a post looks like, and everything
- 1:48in between. As well as knowing what an
- 1:50effective LinkedIn post looks like, it
- 1:52has the whole of the internet to scan
- 1:55actually in 10 topics. What's hot today?
- 1:57What's hot this week, what are people
- 1:59talking about, and that's a great
- 2:01foundation to use as the subject matter
- 2:03of your LinkedIn post. So, using ChatGPT
- 2:05in your arsenal is very good for the
- 2:07research phase, it's very good in
- 2:09equipping you to help with the writing
- 2:11of the LinkedIn posts, and it's also
- 2:13very good for doing all of that at scale
- 2:15because of course it can work at very
- 2:17high speed and a very high volume of
- 2:19output. But, there are two
- 2:21considerations you need to have when
- 2:22using ChatGPT, and these are
- 2:24limitations, but there are ways around
- 2:27them. Now, the first is your voice, a
- 2:29human voice, but also your personal tone
- 2:31that you use. Naturally, ChatGPT, out of
- 2:34the box, speaks like ChatGPT. We all
- 2:36know that robotic tone of voice that
- 2:38ChatGPT likes to adopt. Phrases like,
- 2:40"Let that sink in." Excessive uses of
- 2:42the rocket emoji, and phrases like, "I'm
- 2:45humbled to announce that." It doesn't
- 2:47really sound like a real person. The
- 2:48second thing that's very important that
- 2:50ChatGPT doesn't have out of the box is
- 2:52context. Context to you, context to your
- 2:55business, context to your target market,
- 2:57content to who basically is going to be
- 2:59seeing your posts. So, it's hard out of
- 3:02the box for ChatGPT to know what's
- 3:04content to put in the LinkedIn post if
- 3:06it doesn't exactly know who it's writing
- 3:08it for. Now, the great news is that
- 3:10those two things are very easy to fix,
- 3:12and in the rest of this video I'm going
- 3:13to give you a five-step system to using
- 3:15ChatGPT to write viral LinkedIn posts
- 3:18very simply and very effectively. And if
- 3:21you follow that five-step method, those
- 3:22two things to worry about are things of
- 3:24the past because they're both controlled
- 3:26within this sequence.
- 3:31Before I get into those five steps, I
- 3:33want to quickly call out that if you are
- 3:34enjoying this video, please do like and
- 3:36subscribe. This is just one video I'm
- 3:38doing on a massive series on LinkedIn,
- 3:40how to grow on LinkedIn, how to become a
- 3:41key person of influence on LinkedIn, how
- 3:43to sell on LinkedIn, how to sign clients
- 3:45on LinkedIn, and everything in between.
- 3:47If you, like me, are trying to grow on
- 3:49LinkedIn, make sure you subscribe to not
- 3:51miss out on any of that cool content.
- 3:53I'm trying to build the biggest online
- 3:54community here on YouTube of people
- 3:56trying to grow on LinkedIn, and I want
- 3:58you to be a part of it. So, subscribe
- 4:00and let's get back to the video.
- 4:05Step one is to train your ChatGPT agent
- 4:08on your voice. Unsurprisingly, it's the
- 4:10part that most people skip. How do I
- 4:12know that everyone skips this step?
- 4:13Well, because if they didn't, everyone's
- 4:15LinkedIn posts wouldn't be sounding like
- 4:16ChatGPT. The fact that they haven't
- 4:18trained their agent on their voice is
- 4:21why every post that's AI generated
- 4:23sounds exactly the same. Well, how then
- 4:25can you train ChatGPT on your voice?
- 4:27Well, you can do this inside of LinkedIn
- 4:29and outside of LinkedIn. Inside, you can
- 4:31feed ChatGPT your 15 to 20 most recent
- 4:34LinkedIn posts or your 15 to 20 most
- 4:37effective LinkedIn posts that performed
- 4:38the best. That's going to train ChatGPT
- 4:41on how you like to speak, who you're
- 4:42trying to speak to, and that kind of
- 4:43thing. Outside of LinkedIn, you have a
- 4:46world of content that you can feed your
- 4:48agents to, again, help train it on who
- 4:51you are and how you like to talk. A good
- 4:52example of this is, why don't you feed
- 4:54your meeting recordings into ChatGPT?
- 4:56Copy the transcripts and give it to
- 4:58ChatGPT. Maybe even connect ChatGPT to
- 5:00your Gmail or your Slack or anything
- 5:03else that you communicate with people or
- 5:04clients or colleagues a lot on, and
- 5:06that's going to give it a wealth of data
- 5:08to scan, absorb, and learn from in how
- 5:11you like to speak. My ChatGPT has access
- 5:13to my entire Gmail, and I fed my ChatGPT
- 5:17everything, every email I've sent, every
- 5:18meeting I've had, and everything in
- 5:20between. And now it knows exactly how I
- 5:21like to talk, what phrases I like to
- 5:23use, what words I use in different
- 5:25situations, and that kind of thing. I'm
- 5:27then going to ask my ChatGPT to create a
- 5:30voice brief for me based on everything
- 5:32that it's learned from what I've fed it.
- 5:34It's going to produce a short document
- 5:36explaining how I like to talk, what I
- 5:38like to talk about, and the tone I use
- 5:40in those situations. Now, whenever I'm
- 5:42getting ChatGPT to complete a task for
- 5:44me centered around LinkedIn, I'm going
- 5:46to feed it that training doc on my
- 5:47voice, so it will always produce an
- 5:49output that is how I like to talk. That
- 5:51is now saved to a file and can be used
- 5:54every single time I speak to ChatGPT.
- 5:57Step number two is building an idea
- 5:59engine within ChatGPT, and it's the next
- 6:02level of training. So, we've taught it
- 6:04about how I like to speak, my tone of
- 6:06voice, what I like to speak about. It
- 6:08now needs to understand context, and
- 6:10context is a bit more at a business
- 6:12level. I'm going to feed ChatGPT now
- 6:14three things. The first is around my
- 6:16niche, so as much information I can give
- 6:19it about who I'm trying to target. How
- 6:21specific can I be? The more specific you
- 6:23are, the better the output will be every
- 6:26single time. Number two is the problems
- 6:28that that audience, that target market I
- 6:30have, the problems that they have.
- 6:31Because a lot of the LinkedIn posts and
- 6:33content we're going to produce is aimed
- 6:35at their problems. That's what's going
- 6:36to resonate, that's what they're going
- 6:38to engage with. So, the ChatGPT agent
- 6:40needs to fully understand what problems
- 6:42these people have in order to help you
- 6:44produce viral LinkedIn posts. Now, the
- 6:46third thing is I'm going to give it
- 6:48information and data on my previous
- 6:50LinkedIn posts. What posted well, what
- 6:52posted badly, and everything in between.
- 6:55The agent is then going to quickly start
- 6:56learning, "Okay, what did the successful
- 6:59posts do well that the unsuccessful ones
- 7:01didn't, and how can I replicate that
- 7:03success in future posts?" That is the
- 7:06context layer of your agent training
- 7:08complete. It now has information on you,
- 7:10so your tone of voice, how you like to
- 7:12talk, so it can actually speak in your
- 7:14tone without sounding AI generated. But,
- 7:16it also has context about what it
- 7:18actually actually should be talking
- 7:19about. What is the subject matter of the
- 7:21post? What's going to resonate with your
- 7:23audience? Now those two stages are
- 7:25complete, we can actually get to the
- 7:26exciting bit, which is starting to write
- 7:28the LinkedIn post. Step three, let's
- 7:30start writing the LinkedIn post, but we
- 7:31always start with the hook. Don't just
- 7:33go and ask ChatGPT to write a full
- 7:35LinkedIn post at this stage. Center
- 7:37around the hook, get that right, and
- 7:39then move on to the rest of the LinkedIn
- 7:41post. The hook is the most critical part
- 7:44of your LinkedIn post because if it
- 7:45doesn't engage them, they won't click
- 7:47see more and they won't even see the
- 7:48rest of your LinkedIn post. So, I like
- 7:50to spend 80% of my time on any LinkedIn
- 7:52post purely on the hook. Now, I'm going
- 7:54to open up a new ChatGPT window with the
- 7:56saved projects of my voice and the idea
- 7:59engine attached and now I'm ready to ask
- 8:01for some hooks. So, at this stage, I
- 8:03like to ask for 10 different hooks and
- 8:05they're almost like 10 different angles
- 8:07for a LinkedIn post. I then see all 10
- 8:09and I choose my favorite for this idea
- 8:11because I like to be the one that makes
- 8:12the final decision on the hook and the
- 8:14subject matter of the post. I know my
- 8:16audience. As a human, I know exactly
- 8:18what's going to make another human stop
- 8:19scrolling in that moment. So, this is
- 8:21where I like to come in before I get AI
- 8:23to then produce the rest of the LinkedIn
- 8:25post and make that decision. So, I've
- 8:27picked my favorite of those 10 hooks.
- 8:29I'm now going to progress to step four,
- 8:31which is writing the full LinkedIn post.
- 8:33This is the prompt I like to use here.
- 8:34Under this exact hook, write the full
- 8:36LinkedIn post. Keep the hook word for
- 8:38word. My structure, short lines, one
- 8:41sentence per line, plenty of white space
- 8:43and with one question to the reader. No
- 8:45hashtag spams, no links in the body.
- 8:48Rely heavily on the training I've given
- 8:50you attached to this window when writing
- 8:52the post. Now, there are a couple of
- 8:53things I always enforce here. The post
- 8:55should be scannable and easily
- 8:57digestible. That means a lot of white
- 8:59space in the post. If it's a block of
- 9:01text, no one is going to read it. People
- 9:03are going to scroll right past it on the
- 9:04timeline and the LinkedIn's algorithm is
- 9:06then going to limit it massively. Ending
- 9:08with a question is a great way to
- 9:09increase engagement on your post. People
- 9:11are more likely to then comment on it.
- 9:13You can comment back and it creates a
- 9:14little bit of a cycle of engagement.
- 9:16Again, the algorithm loves this. If you
- 9:18did the first two steps right of this
- 9:19process, the LinkedIn post that comes
- 9:21out should actually surprise you in how
- 9:23good it is. It's going to be in your
- 9:24voice. It's actually going to sound like
- 9:26you despite you not having typed a
- 9:28single word. It's also going to be
- 9:30highly relevant and targeted to your
- 9:31target market. At this point normally,
- 9:34the post is about an eight or nine out
- 9:35of 10. To get it from an eight out of 10
- 9:38to a 10 out of 10, I do a two-step
- 9:40review process. The first is reviewed by
- 9:42AI in a different window, so not the
- 9:44same AI agent that actually wrote that
- 9:46LinkedIn post, does a brutal review, and
- 9:48then I do a manual one afterwards. So,
- 9:51I'm going to do this live. The prompt
- 9:52that you actually give ChatGPT in
- 9:54reviewing that post that it's just
- 9:55produced for you is this. Act as a
- 9:58brutal editor. Go through this post and
- 10:00remove every AI tell. Band list is em
- 10:03dashes, the word game-changer, let that
- 10:06sink in, I'm humbled, rocket emojis,
- 10:09fire emojis, in today's fast-paced
- 10:11world, any sentence that sounds
- 10:13impressive but says nothing. Replace
- 10:15anything vague with something specific.
- 10:18If a line doesn't sound like something
- 10:19I'd say out loud to a friend, rewrite it
- 10:21or cut it. Now, you might want to tailor
- 10:23that a little bit to your exact tones
- 10:26and what you want from that LinkedIn
- 10:27post, but that is what I like to do for
- 10:29myself, and the output is very good.
- 10:31Normally, just a few things will be
- 10:32tweaked and changed, but it's going to
- 10:34give it that little bit from an eight
- 10:35out of 10 towards a nine or a 10. But,
- 10:37of course, before I set that LinkedIn
- 10:38post live, I'm also going to do a review
- 10:40and a read-through myself, too. And if
- 10:42there's anything I want to tweak and
- 10:43change towards the end, I do that before
- 10:45then going and setting it live. What you
- 10:47should have in front of you now after
- 10:48following that five-step process is a
- 10:5110-out-of-10 LinkedIn post primed to go
- 10:54viral. But, you can rest assured that as
- 10:56well as reading very nicely, it's
- 10:57actually primed for virality because
- 10:59your ChatGPT agent had did the research
- 11:02on what topics you should be using,
- 11:03what's going to resonate with your
- 11:04target market, and what goes viral. I
- 11:07guarantee you, posting this LinkedIn
- 11:09post that you followed this five-step
- 11:10process to produce will have a much
- 11:12better engagement than what you've been
- 11:13using previously.
- 11:18That's it. I hope you enjoyed the video.
- 11:20That is how to go viral on LinkedIn
- 11:22using ChatGPT. I followed this exact
- 11:24process for my own LinkedIn profile
- 11:26accounts and the profiles that I manage
- 11:28for a lot of my clients, and it really
- 11:30is a game-changer for getting results on
- 11:32LinkedIn. Now, I want to personally
- 11:34invite you to my online LinkedIn
- 11:36community where people like you, me, and
- 11:38lots of other founders and business
- 11:40owners are on there helping each other
