MATT GRAY @matt_gray_:ChatGPT is horrible at content.
That was my mentality 3 months ago.
But after days of experimenting with different prompts, I've found a powerful use case.
How to use ChatGPT to help you niche down (and be a $1M+ category champion):
MATT GRAY @matt_gray_:My big mistake:
Believing that the one-lined prompts would help me save ~30 hours/week of work.
This mentality:
Made me view ChatGPT as a virtual assistant instead of a brainstorming partner.
MATT GRAY @matt_gray_:ChatGPT is built on generative AI.
It's not built to perfectly handle complex tasks (without complex prompting/training).
It's built to help you surface:
• Ideas
• Statistics
• Insights / Examples
MATT GRAY @matt_gray_:The hardest question for any creator: How do I find my niche?
So I went about experimenting with how I could use ChatGPT to help me figure out my Ikigai.
Ikigai = your reason for being
The thing that gets you up in the morning.
I've always used the following template:
MATT GRAY @matt_gray_:Tell Your Story
Feed ChatGPT 3 lists:
• Your Skills
• Your Interests / Hobbies
• Your Work Experience
This will help it understand:
• What you are good at
• What you love
• What you can be paid for
It's built a profile of who you are.
MATT GRAY @matt_gray_:Now you have to provide direction for ChatGPT:
• Their goal:
• Pitfalls to avoid on the way:
• An example output:

MATT GRAY @matt_gray_:Now it's time to iterate and perfect it.
Like every ChatGPT prompt, don't accept the first version.
• Add new constraints
• Edit your interests/hobbies
• Refine your "ideal output statement"
MATT GRAY @matt_gray_:One of my favorite iterations.
Layering on more specificity:
1. Problem (Burnout, Health, Investing)
2. Industry (Tech, Retail)
3. Demographic (28-25)
4. Location (NYC, LA, Mexico City)
5. Interests (Runners, Backpackers)
6. Business Model (SaaS Founders, Coaches)
MATT GRAY @matt_gray_:Prompt to leverage:
• "For each of these 10 generated ideas, what age demographic should I target?"
• "For each of these 10 generated ideas, how would you advertise the product?"
MATT GRAY @matt_gray_:Having a niche is insanely powerful if monetization is your goal.
• Enables you to stand out
• Ensures you outcompete other offers
• Allows you to position yourself as an expert
MATT GRAY @matt_gray_:Regardless of where you are at in your journey, I found this an interesting exercise to undertake:
• Generated ~3-4 potential new business ideas to jam on
• Iterated 2-3 times on my true interests + valuable skills to learn
• Helped me learn new marketing techniques
