If you’re using ChatGPT to write LinkedIn content, but it still doesn’t sound like you or drive the engagement you hoped for, this is for you.In today’s episode, you will learn exactly how to use ChatGPT as a collaborator, not a crutch.Here are a few key takeaways:🔹 Start with strategy: ChatGPT is a tool, but it needs direction. You need to know what you’re creating, who it’s for, and what action you want the reader to take.🔹 Give it your voice: Your tone. Your language. Your rhythm. The best way to do this? Feed it your past posts, emails, or notes in your actual voice. Then, ask it to match that style in everything it creates.🔹 Structure wins: ChatGPT thrives when you give it structure. That’s why using tested frameworks like hook > insight > story > CTA can make even a simple idea hit harder.🔹 Edit like a human: AI can get you 80% of the way there. But it’s your perspective, your experience, and your expertise that bring it to life. Never skip the human touch.That’s exactly why we created the Expert Content Society: to give you not just tools and prompts but actual strategy, structure, and support to make your content connect.Today’s episode will give you exactly what you need to co-create with ChatGPT more confidently and consistently.If you’re inside the Expert Content Society, this is just one more piece of the content engine we’re building together.Don't forget to sign up for our FREE "Scale Your Business Using LinkedIn" Workshop here:https://www.thetimetogrow.com/scale-your-business-blueprint-workshop-april2025
