So listen, at this point, you probably have hundreds, if not even thousands, of prompts, right? But the problem is that most of them are buried inside of your notes or, even worse, they never even left your downloads folder. And today, I present to you the solution: a brand new and completely free Notion template that comes with my new ebook full of GPT-4 optimized prompts loaded into it.
In my eyes, this is the very best way to store all of your ChatGPT prompts, and it comes loaded with over 200 GPT-4 optimized prompts already. You also got 25 follow-up prompts and 25 different styles that you can start using today, and all of this is free. And it will be replacing my free ChatGPT ebook from today on out.
So if you want to be able to store and organize all of your prompts in one place resulting in you actually using them sometimes, this video is for you. And yes, by the way, you still will be able to get the PDF version of the brand new ebook. It's just that the Notion is superior in almost every way, and that's why I'll be focusing on that in this video.
So let me run you through this and show you why I'm so excited about this. It's basically a way to store and access some of your favorite prompts for ChatGPT. And beyond that's a new prompt library that I'm releasing for free, and all of these have been optimized for GPT-4, but more on that later.
Getting access to this is super simple. Just follow the link in the description, and if you sign up for my weekly newsletter, you will receive both a download link to the PDF and a link to the Notion. And if you're already subscribed to the newsletter, just check your inbox or spam folder.
Okay, and once we access the link, you're going to be facing this page, and all you have to do here is duplicate. And if you're logged in with your Notion account, which takes like a minute to set up and is completely free, it will appear in your personal Notion, and now it's your very own. We're going to close the sidebar and give you an overview of all the value that is inside of here.
So first of all, super simple. You get a table of contents where you get to click the different headings, and it brings you right to the prompt library or your personal prompt database. Down here, if you've never used Notion before, these little toggles open hidden menus, and this is pretty much one of two things that I need you to know about this template.
It's set up to be extremely simple. That's why I'm using these toggles. And then we'll also look at opening the database for expanded view of everything, but pretty much everything in here has been set up to work with these toggles.
So this thing is extremely beginner-friendly, even if you've never used Notion before. Easy, and that was my goal. I don't like those convoluted databases where you kind of get lost sometimes and just return to the homepage, and you're like, "I have no idea what happened there.
Let's stay away from that part, I guess. " No, this is all super simple. Again, this is the table of content, and here we have the links.
And I think this is pretty straightforward to understand. First of all, here you can access the PDF version of the book if that is what you prefer. If you have all our social media links, and then I also included links to the two premium products in our lineup.
One being the ChatGPT ebook, and then our brand new Prompt Engineering course, which is just the ultimate guide on how to get the most out of ChatGPT and how to craft prompts like the ones in the database from the ground up. And about the prompts in this database, that's kind of the main part here. So if we scroll down here a little bit, we're going to arrive at the GPT-4 mini prompt library.
It's funny that I use the word "mini" because a subscriber just replied to their email yesterday, and he was like, "Hey Igor, you realize that other people would be selling this library plus the Notion template for like 50 dollars a piece, and you call it the mini book? " And I was like, "Yeah, fair, but it's mini in proportion to our YouTube content and some of the paid products. So that's why it's called Mini Prompt Library.
" Feel free to customize it. Okay, now let's get into the meat of it. So beyond these usage tips that you can delete like so at any point in time, we have three different categories here.
So first of all, this is what you're familiar with: prompts. Basic prompts that you use to start off your conversation with ChatGPT. Notably, I added two new categories: Marketing and Entrepreneurship.
So you're going to be able to evaluate business ideas or launch products in no time. And already, I'm demonstrating how this works. So this is really your quick access.
Everything is hidden behind this toggle list. So if I open this up and click this, it opens in a side view, and I can start writing songs. And as you can see, each prompt comes equipped with a picture in order to make it easier to memorize that you have this prompt at your disposal.
And down here, you can see this little checkbox, and this is really my favorite feature. It's the Favorites feature. So if you open this up, I pre-loaded this with some of my personal favorites, but you can always just check this and see how this appears up here.
"Write Songs. " And this will really allow you to customize the templates to what you actually need for your workflows. So maybe you love creating analogies, so you just put this in your Favorites, and now every time you open this library up, just click "Prompts," "Make Analogies," it's right there.
That's took me about two seconds to arrive at the formula that underlies the prompt and a bunch of examples to get your creativity going. And this is a simple one, but if you open up "Write Anything," you're going to see that there are many variables in here. And ever since December when I released the first version of my ebook, I just keep returning to these formulas over and over again because there's no simpler way to really customize this to your own needs.
So again, if you're not familiar, the prompt shows you one use case that I prefer to use, and then the more examples, you can start looking at different examples of how to customize this to your own needs. And the formula helps you in understanding which parts you would want to customize. So for example, using writing style, you're going to see casual writing style, professional writing style, informative writing style.
And for target audience, you have different target audiences pre-loaded into here. So targeting young adults, targeting business executives, you get the point. Okay, and that's the basic setup, and you need to be aware of one more thing in this section.
And whenever you see these underlined words with emoji next to it, it is the database file. So you can click this and open up the full view of the entire database. So this is a really fantastic way to view everything at the same time, right?
If all the prompts underneath each other, you can see which ones your favorite. And up here, if you never use Notion, this is really, really important to understand. These are the different views, and you could compare these two tabs inside of Google Chrome, right?
So this would be the basic view that you saw on the homepage, right? This is just the title, the category, and allows you to open them up by clicking on them. The everything view shows everything, the favorites view shows only your favorite.
But talking about favorite, here's my personal favorite view, the gallery view. We made sure to include an appropriate image with every single one of these prompts. And yes, before you ask, these are all generated with MidJouney V5 and in my experience, what this does is it allows you to remember the prompts.
Because usually, you're like, "Oh, fantastic, here's a list of like 50 new prompts. You skim over them and then you move on. " But with this, if you open this up once, you might just have a chance at remembering the fact that, "Hey, ChatGPT can actually write jokes for me," because you're now associated with this joyful guy.
Same with this in the writing chapter. We have one called "Explore Different Arguments," which is going to allow you to do exactly that. You're going to be exploring different arguments.
So as with every single one of these, I could just click "Copy to Clipboard," paste this into ChatGPT, and get results right away. Okay, really cool stuff, but now let's cover the rest of the template because there's more. So this was the prompt section, right?
But then we have a second brand new section, which I didn't include in my previous product, but over time it turns out this is actually the most important part when using ChatGPT. This is as far as most people get, right? They open up one of these, they use a prompt that helps them define their brand voice.
And if you define the context correctly, which by customizing all the variables in here, you will certainly do, you're not using the full potential of ChatGPT because the real power hides within following up and extending your prompts. And that's what this is going to help you do. So the Universal category is the one that you can follow up with in most cases, and some of these are super simple and kind of obvious.
So for example, "Multiply Results" simply says "10 more," and then it gives you 10 more copies of what I really did. But how about this one? Also very simple, but it might not be so obvious.
If you follow up with "But Why? " you're going to start digging deeper into ChatGPT's reasoning engine. And guess what?
You can follow up with this 10 times in a row, and it's always going to give you the reasoning behind everything. This one, in particular, is very powerful. That's why I included it in my favorites right here.
As per usual, I always have these favorites. It just makes it super easy to come back to. Okay, in the transformation category, this is going to help you extend some of your prompts.
For example, here you could be adding context. So, I know this one is super open-ended, but you can be adding context on top of what you previously provided. And by starting with "now try again," it's going to rerun your previous prompt but now considering the new context.
And this last category actually needs a little bit of explanation because this is all about expanding on ideas, and I realize that ideas can mean a lot. So, really look at the titles of these subcategories to guide you in the right direction. Because guess what?
The problem-solving category here is going to be really good to follow up after you identify the problem. So, for example, "find cheaper solutions" says, "If we have to solve this problem with half the resources or time, what would we do differently? " And obviously, this only works if in your previous conversation with ChatGPT, you defined some sort of problem or the results of your prompting was some sort of situation or, as I said, idea that you can now try solving with half the resources or time.
Similarly, "simplify learning," can you break this down into simpler terms or steps for someone who is new to the topic while making it understandable for a five-year-old. This is an extremely powerful prompt, but it's only effective if you previously established a topic or were discussing some sort of idea in the conversation above this prompt. But honestly, my tip for this category is, don't be afraid to experiment.
You might just be surprised by the results. Okay, before we move on to the last database here, the 25 Styles, I just want to point out all of these have been upgraded from the last version to be more specific and consider the right type of context, which overall I call a GPT4 upgrade. Because all of these work even better in GPT4 than they do in GPT 3.
5. So, really not just getting more prompts, but they're all better. Plus, you're getting follow-up prompts, plus you're getting text styles, plus you're getting a Notion template for free.
Consider this a thank you from my side for the 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. I truly appreciate you guys. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Anyway, returning to the value here, next up, we have the text styles, which is a little different than the initial prompts. This is really going to allow you to style your text with a bunch of presets, and we go beyond just different tones, which you might already be familiar with. There's always the name of the tone and then a description of what result this will get.
Because what you're really doing if you're applying some of these author styles is applying a template to your text, which means it's a major shift in every aspect of the text that you're trying to style. Same goes for the magazines here. It's incredibly powerful to say in the style of Vogue, just because that implies so much context within our culture here.
This description tab is my attempt at providing you with some context on what this will do to your text. And last but certainly not least, we have the brand voices down here. And this is something many people don't know.
You can actually say in the brand voice of or in the style of, and if you say Harley-Davidson, it's going to apply the values of freedom, individualism, and American spirit to your text. And trust me, if I tell you this is so much simpler than having to specify all this with a super lengthy prompt. Harley Davidson is a serious part of American culture, and therefore ChatGPT will know all the context that comes along with this brand.
And as per usual, I could open up the database and favorite different ones, which would make them appear in the favorites. Alright, so one more thing to cover here is your personal prompt database. And this is really what I arrived at when refining my Notion templates over time.
I realized I want to keep everything as simple as possible and have extremely fast access to all my favorite prompts. So, while I could go ahead and extend these libraries here at the top, if you're in a rush, which with me is most of the time, you know, let's say I found this prompt about defining brand voices on Twitter, and I just want to quickly dump it into my database. Then all you do is open up this template, personal prompt database, paste, move on with your life.
And this way, you'll be organizing everything into one database, and you have these columns for follow-up prompts 1 and 2 and beyond, and that section for notes, which I find essential when using some of these over and over again. But this stuff around this is all optional, right? You can give it a title, you can add it to your favorites, which makes it appear here, which you could even take and drag to the top of the template like so.
Now, you have all your favorite and most used prompts right there, and at any point in time, you will be one click away from accessing them. Well, two clicks. You just open Notion and click this database, and it's right here.
No fluff, no convoluted pages. This is it, and this is really why I call this my favorite way of organizing my prompts because it's so damn simple. So yes, all of this is set up to be extremely easy to use and packed with value.
But you'll soon start that you start hitting the limits of ChatGPT. You can go ahead, run some of these prompts, style the text to your own liking, and follow up and get more out of it. But still, you're gonna find that there's a wall that you cannot break through by simply copy-pasting other people's prompts.
And that's really when we start talking about crafting your very own prompts. But unfortunately, that is not a straightforward process that I can teach you in a 10-minute video. But it's a problem I really wanted to solve because what most people on the internet do is they just give you a list of prompts like this and call it a day.
And look, that is valuable and fantastic. But they're really giving you fish. But if you're trying to get the most out of ChatGPT, the whole point is learning how to fish.
So if you're interested in me holding your hand through the entire process of learning how to get the most out of ChatGPT, check out my brand new prompt engineering course that just released. So you can start catching fish, AKA prompts, yourself. Okay?
And if you like this video and want to go further for free, you would probably love this one because it explores some advanced ChatGPT techniques that you can use today.
