Unlock the Power of AI for Your Print on Demand Business: A Detailed Guide to Using ChatGPT

“ChatGPT is scary good” – That’s Elon Musk’s comment on the latest disruptive AI program that everyone is talking about. This also sums up how many of us feel about ChatGPT.

For many, this new AI tool proposes a threat to their job prospects while many others worry about the possibility of spreading false information, low-effort AI-generated creative works as well as other copyright issues.

In the face of unprecedented changes, instead of fear, the best thing to do is to level up your game and utilize the new technologies to your advantage.

While ChatGPT is still in the early stages, it shows incredible potential and wide application in many fields. ChatGPT or any AI tool can be beneficial in ways that don’t make them terrifyingly invasive.

Here are some ideas of how you can use ChatGPT to benefit your business, especially print-on-demand business.

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a conversation-based model trained by OpenAI. Just launched in November 2022, this model has instantly shocked the world with its remarkable capability of returning in-depth, highly accurate responses in a conversational and human-like manner.

Is ChatGPT free?

Yes, ChatGPT is currently free to use. Notably, OpenAI, the father company of this product, is a not-for-profit organization. It also means that the company might charge users in the future, and the profit will be returned to operating and developing the product.

How to use ChatGPT?

By signing up at OpenAI.com, you can start using ChatGPT for free.

At the starting screen, you can type in your request, questions, and prompt. ChatGPT will respond to your prompt in seconds.

You can create multiple conversations/chat to interact with this smart chatbot.

The operation of this tool is super simple. Yet to truly unleash the power of ChatGPT, you should understand the basic concept of this tool: its capability, limitations, and how it works.

Capabilities

Understand and decline inappropriate requests

An astounding characteristic of ChatGPT is its ability to recognize inappropriate requests and decline to process these prompts. It is also programmed to not respond in toxic, hateful language.

Remember the past conversation

Apart from the existing database, ChatGPT is also continuously taking in your requests. By remembering what you said earlier, ChatGPT is able to come up with the most appropriate and suitable response.

It also means that the more you use ChatGPT, the better the answers become.

Allow users to make corrections

This chatbot also has the ability to understand your follow-up corrections and learn from them, which is incredibly smart for a chatbot.

Limitations

Your prompt decides the quality of the answers

This is an important aspect that you should keep in mind when using ChatGPT. The better your prompts are, the higher the quality response you get.

In practice, it means that it might try a few takes before getting the results you expected. However, once you have a grasp of what prompts work best, you can slightly twist and change your prompt to get the desired results in different situations.

It might generate incorrect information

Not all answer provided by ChatGPT is 100% correct. There is still room for “occasional” incorrectness.

Many users have caught ChatGPT giving widely wrong answers. The tricky part is that ChatGPT can deliver that sound credible.

That’s why you need to fact-check before using information delivered by ChatGPT.

How to use ChatGPT to benefit your business

The potential of ChatGPT is limitless. While the functioning of this tool is simple, it can provide answers and solutions to many of your daily issues and tasks.

Of course, print-on-demand businesses can also benefit from ChatGPT.

In the following, we will explain in detail how you can use Chat GPt for running your business more efficiently without compromising output quality or risking your business virtue.

Use ChatGPT for idea generation

For print-on-demand businesses, idea research and idea generations are highly important.

Here is the good news for you. ChatGPT is incredibly creative and very good at generating ideas.

If you are having a creative block, stop stressing and go on ChatGPT and have a little conversation with this useful assistant. They will help you come up with great ideas, even some unique and original ones.

Use ChatGPT for product research

One of the most important pre-launch processes for any business is product research. It includes:

• Find the in-demand products
• Understand customer’s pain points and expectations
• Discover what to improve the products and how to do better than your competitors

Find the in-demand products

Here are some simple prompts that help you to find out some new product ideas:

• “What are the most popular new ?"
• “What are the most popular new that cost between ?"
• “What are the most popular new on ?"

In addition, ChatGPT can also be used to give you some suggestions on the complementary products that you can cross-sell with this product.

• “What are the best cross-selling products for ?"

Understand customers’ needs and find new opportunities

Here’s one example of how you can utilize ChatGPT for product research.

You want to sell baseball jerseys on Amazon for example. Before choosing the supplier, you want to know what qualities customers are looking for when searching for a baseball jersey and what you can do to make your product better than the existing offers in the market.

An effective way to gain these insights is by going through reviews of the existing products in the market.

With ChatGPT, you can do this research faster and more effectively. ChatGPT can help you to analyze a set of data and provide both overview and detailed insights.

Here’s one way to gain these insights by using ChatGPT:

• Find similar products on Amazon with the highest sales and reviews
• Use scraper tools or extensions (Instant Data Scraper for example) to scrape all the reviews written by customers
• Put this data into ChatGPT and ask the following questions:

“What do customers love most about the product?"

“List all the issues customers are complaining about the product."

“What should be done to improve the product?"

Based on the responses, you can quickly identify the quality that your products must ensure and the possibilities to compete with your competitors.

You can also further explore the data by requesting ChatGPT to write compelling product descriptions based on the reviews.

With just a few simple steps, you can save a ton of time spent on doing product research. With the newfound insights, the next step is to find products and suppliers that meet the requirements or bring the suggestions into action to improve the product quality and customer’s overall satisfaction.

Use ChatGPT for writing copy and content

ChatGPT can save you a lot of time in crafting copies for your email marketing.

If you want to create content for your emails, blogs, and social media quickly and effectively, ChatGPT can be very helpful.

You can use ChatGPT to write:

• Ads copy
• Email, email subject lines
• Customer testimonials
• Product descriptions
• Product reviews
• Blog posts
• Landing page copy
• Social media posts/captions

Here are some prompt examples you can use to ask ChatGPT to create better content:

• “Write for ."
• “Write to ."

For example:

• “Write a welcoming email for a new customer.”
• “Write an email to ask for customer feedback.”
• “Write Facebook posts for Valentine’s day t-shirt products.”

Other than coming up with marketing material, you can also find ChatGPT helpful for dealing with customer support and communication.

• “Write an email to customers when their was broken, offering a free return & our desire to make it right."
• “Write an email to Amazon Seller Central to reinstate a product that was incorrectly suspended for product quality concerns."
• “What’s the best way to answer this customer question about a ?"

Tips to write better prompts:

To get a more detailed and suitable copy for your content, you can play around and add more information to your prompt.

Add more details to your expectation

For example:

• Instead of “Write a testimonial for a quilt blanket”, you can enter this prompt:

Use “Use the voice of customers on Amazon to write a testimonial for a quilt blanket”

• Instead of “Write product description for quilt blanket”, you can enter:

Use “Write 5 bullets for a product description on Amazon listing to sell quilt blanket”

Add keywords to your prompt

You can add a few keywords and request ChatGPT to write with the given keywords. It will help you to generate a piece of writing that is more search-friendly.

If you are not satisfied with what you are getting, you can hit the “Regenerate response” button for different results. Or add new details to your prompt.
