This episode is a bit of a wild card. My gues, Mike Forgie, is an SEO specialist using AI tools like Frase to write, and optimise websites for better listing on Google.
Mike showed me how to use a tool like Frase. Which on its own was already fascinating to me because I am not an SEO expert.
But we then went beyond that and ideated around using Frase, Google, and ChatGPT (or any other AI writing tool) to write LinkedIn posts that are more likely to resonate with our ideal readers.
Why? Because instead of relying on ChatGPT and our gut to pick topics, we use Google and Frase to write about topics that are relevant to our target persona.
Check it out and let me know what you think about the idea....
When trying to get AI to write quality posts we are often disappointed. The reason? The prompt was not good enough. But it's not only the prompt that matters, it's the priming that influences what the prompt can do.
Journalist Jordan Wilson has developed a highly detailed prompt that allows him to train an AI to write almost exactly like he would write.
He does this by being extremely specific about what the AI has to analyse, and feeding it excellent samples that are representative of the intended piece of content.
Ever wondered if AI-written posts could actually outperform human-written posts on LinkedIn? Audrey Chia not only believes it's possible, but she's cracked the code on how to do it.
Audrey runs a specialised marketing agency, Close with Copy, from Singapore.
In this episode, she reveals her process that seamlessly blends human strategy with AI execution.
It's not just about letting AI take the wheel; it's about guiding it with precision through expertly engineered prompts.
As a bonus, Audrey introduces her 'Role-Switching' technique, a dynamic layer that enriches this human-AI collaboration.
If you're still on the fence about AI's role in copywriting or eager to amplify your own strategic approach, this episode is your roadmap.
Tune in and discover how to unlock the full potential of human-AI collaboration in content creation.

In this episode, John Moore reveals his secrets behind training his ChatGPT machine to echo his very own voice and style!
AI writing tools like ChatGPT have been around, offering us ways to enhance our creativity.
Yet, capturing our unique voice?
Not quite.
They’ve been instrumental in brainstorming, generating ideas, and even creating Pixar-like images.
But replicating our personal writing style?
That’s been a challenge.
John’s approach to using ChatGPT for LinkedIn and other platforms is fascinating and rests on the new feature of ChatGPT that allows to remember key facts about us.
With that as a basis and additional sample texts, John got ChatGPT to speak in a rather authentic voice.
He’s crafted a method that makes a text resonate as if it’s penned by you, using images, storytelling, and a touch of imagination.
Dive into the world of AI creativity and discover how you can train ChatGPT to start using your language!”1
In this episode, Heather Murrays shows us how she’s managed to tweak the ChatGPT beast in a way that it - finally - give us something that sounds like, well, us!
Generative AI tools have been promising to write for us for a long time.
But so far, they have failed us at that.
They are great at structuring, ideation, and feedback.
But writing for us with our tonality?
Nope.
Heather’s developed a guide on using ChatGPT for LinkedIn that is on fire!
She’s stringed together five prompts that make a text sound like it was written by you!
Creating a course can be a daunting task for any content creator or small business owner.
But what if there was an AI tool that could simplify this process for you?
Enter Lory, an expert in the field of AI marketing and a pioneering user of ChatGPT.
She leveraged AI to generate a course outline, create content, and even marketing strategies.
In this podcast, she shares how she uses ChatGPT and other tools to generate the structure and content for her B2B Marketing Academy course.
This episode is less about a specific process but mainly about three prompts she uses and three plug-ins that she uses that helped her create the outline and course in just an hour.
One standout tool she mentioned is the ‘Prompt Perfect’ plugin.
This nifty tool optimizes inputs to ChatGPT, making it easier to generate more advanced content and streamline your content creation process.
The second tool she mentioned is “Your AI Council” which is a brainstorming tool.
And lastly, she uses ’Anyword” that helps her predict the success of a single post.
Beyond that, Lory shares three universal prompts that she uses repeatedly to increase the quality of the output: “Is that all?“, the second one is “Critique yourself”, and the last one is simply “Can you do it better?”
AI, as Loredana illustrates, can even be a powerful ally in marketing your course.
She uses it for everything, from creating course outlines to generating social media posts and even predicting their success.
To hear more about Lory’s tool recommendations and tactics, tune into the podcast for an in-depth discussion.
Her innovative strategies might just be the solution you’ve been searching for to take your business to the next level.

Contrary to popular belief, renowned author and creative consultant Stacy Ennis, begs to differ.
In this stimulating episode of the StoryLux marketing podcast, Stacy unravels her unique perspective.
Although AI tools like ChatGPT are revolutionizing content generation, they don’t necessarily foster our critical thinking skills.
Ennis passionately advocates for the power of writing as a catalyst for thought-provoking ideation, a virtue that AI hasn’t mastered yet.
In fact, writing is hard work that shapes our minds.
With her expert insights, we explore the notion of writing as an irreplaceable medium for nurturing personal growth and professional development.
Tune in to challenge your preconceived notions and to understand why Stacy believes that writing’s human essence remains untouched by AI.
Listen and start rethinking the role of writing in our AI-driven world.
Generative AI has changed how we write content.
On the face of it, writing has become easier.
But every new tool needs to be internalised before it can be fully leveraged.
ChatGPT is no exception.
And so, in this podcast, Adriana Tica shares with us how she uses ChatGPT to find opposing viewpoints that are hard to come by.
Instead of just going with the flow of AI, she deliberately seeks out that which she doesn’t know and that might make a more informed text.
Listen to this episode to learn in detail the three things that Adriana does to maintain diversity of thought:
Google doesn’t like AI generated content because 5000 similar pages offer no value to the user.
But Google loves content that is unique and has authority.
Unfortunately, Google also penalises texts that are 100% non-AI written.
So we now need to check every text against the Google AI score.
Rajiv and Gabriel will show us how to use ChatGPT (and a bit of manual tweaking) to turn even ChatGPT generated texts into something that Google loves.

This conversation with Kait LeDonne was one of the most inspiring.
Kait shared a number of stories that show how a personal brand (on LinkedIn) helps with e.g. publishing a book.
Her approach to brand building couldn't be more organic, rooted in the person's values and beliefs. She debunks some of the formulaic approaches to brand building, e.g. using templates to write posts.
We talk about how Yuval Harari became a bestseller only after his husband built a brand for the book and him.
Kait also touches on how Atomic Habits became a bestseller because James Clear built a solid brand even before writing the book.
In this week's episode we're turning the tables: the host Simon Chappuzeau is being interviewed by a previous guest.
Why?
Simon also landed a viral post and made some interesting experiences.
In order to share his experiences, Simon asked the author of 'If Cold Email was a Spotify Playlist' author, Yurii Veremchuk, to interview him.
Listen to this episode to learn about how to discover what to write about, how to develop your own writing style, and what a sleeper hit is.
Eugene is based out of Singapore and is one of the few Asian LinkedIn creators.
With his systematic mind he carefully analyzed what big LinkedIn creators do on LinkedIn and combined this with his own experience in presentation design.
Out comes a unique, high value style that turned into three viral posts.
He got to this through months of trial and error with various formats before settling on slideshows. And he then perfected the slideshows by developing his five principles.
This conversation was one of my favourites and clearly Eugene is a master at what he does, so be sure to listen to it.
My core takeaways are the following five:
Moritz has been writing on LinkedIn for less than three months when he landed his viral post ("8 Copywriting Tricks Used by Apple"). This post alone garnered him 1.5 m views, 8.211 likes, 624 comments, and 849 shares.
In Moritz's case (like in many other cases), this success has transformed his writing career on LinkedIn.
Before that post, he's been trialing various styles, from text-only posts to single-image posts to slideshows (check out his post timeline). But with this post, Moritz honed in on his style: slideshows only.
Since then, he's perfected his slideshow style to always be highly actionable and easy to consume.
People seem to like this as he has grown his following from a few hundred to now (February 2023) close to 20.000.
The core takeaways from this conversation for me:
Viral posts teach us a lot about human sentiment and trends. But they can’t be planned.
What factors do we control that (guarantee) above-average views?
Gunnar Habitz ran an experiment with three posts and achieved 3x his average views. On this podcast, he will share what exactly he did.
As a bonus, Gunnar also spoke about how you, as an employee, can forge your own brand and use that as an advantage for your employer.

A viral post with unintended side effects: Laura leveraged a trending topic with her authentic personality.
And realised that viral posts have a shelf life because they leverage a current trend - and trends change.
Podcast guest Laura West managed to land a viral post doing just that with her post getting 7.5 m views - and landing her 9 marriage proposals!
In the podcast, Laura explains said that mothers living the perfect life were a popular topic at the time of the post going live.
But today, a similar post now would probably not work as well anymore.
In addition to this, Laura - like many other guests - reiterated that being authentic is key to getting engagement on LinkedIn.
Laura managed to build an authentic image of a mother and agency owner on LinkedIn that laid the foundations for her post to go viral.
Listen to the whole episode.
In this episode with Claire Cathcart, we explore a path to creating content that resonates with your audience while not following all the guru advice on how to post on LinkedIn. Claire will be sharing her story and the strategies that worked for her.
And the best: Following her own ideas, she landed a viral post with more than 10m views!
Claire proves that one key to creating viral content is to trust your instincts, post when you feel inspired, and talk about topics that you're passionate about - and doing this consistently and reliably.
So join us as we explore the world of LinkedIn, and learn how to create content that truly connects with your audience.
This is one of my favourite conversations.
Not only is Yurii humble. He is also open to learning and people.
That's the secret behind his success. Beyond his 8 million view post, Yurii has grown a solid community of people around him on LinkedIn. Because he sees LinkedIn as a community of people, of amazing people.
You never know who you are going to meet but you know it is going to be interesting.
When his post went viral, Yurii pledged to respond to each and every of the more than 2.000 comments he would eventually get. The fact that he followed through is a testament to his being genuinely interested in learning from other people.
To Yurii, LinkedIn is a treasure trove of people to engage with. We think that his posts and the love and dedication that he shows in these posts are an expression of that.
