All right to get started.
You want to go to chat?
Dot Openai.com.
You should get to a screen that looks like this and you'll need to sign up.
If you haven't signed in already, click the sign up button.
You could sign in with your email.
Google.
ET cetera.
Now, there have been some times when chatgpt since it is a new product, they've been closing it down
or slowing down.
Who can access it because there are so many people using it right now.
But what I've found is if you check back a little bit later or if you have to wait till the next day,
you'll be able to log in and get access to it.
And it's improved dramatically since it launched in early 2023.
So sign up and then you'll get to a page like this.
It's super simple.
At the bottom you have the chat space where you can type in your chat.
On the left, you'll see all the chats that you've previously asked so you can keep it organized and
you'll see that fill out.
Throughout this course.
I cleared all my chats, so you see the screen as if you were starting like this, and then you just
simply start asking.
Now we're going to go through a lot of advice and different prompts to give you ideas for what to ask
Chatgpt throughout this course.
But a lot of it, a lot of it is just experimentation and trying to come up with ways to ask for something
in different ways, adding more or less information so that it gives you the results that you're looking
for.
Here are four quick tips, though, as you get started.
One is just know what your goal is.
You need to know exactly what you want, what you're hoping to get from Chatgpt before you start prompting.
You want to be clear and concise.
Talk to it as if you're just talking to a human.
You don't have to use like robotic keyword type speak, but at the same time you don't need to include
anything that is unnecessary or might lead chatgpt to giving an answer that you might not think is right.
So be specific.
Use keywords.
So add as many keywords as possible, but don't just spam it with keywords, write it in a sentence
using keywords that it will then be able to take and give a great answer.
And then my last advice is to test, test, test.
You'll find that over the next 30 minutes, as you practice with Chatgpt, you'll find better ways to
ask questions.
Another thing is, and I'm not sure if this is going to improve over time, but if you are asking Chatgpt
to do something that is long giving back a ton of content, sometimes it gets stuck.
What I found to be useful is just to tell it to continue.
Literally write, continue and you'll see me do this in the class when this comes up and it will continue
doing what its previous process was.
In the next lesson, make sure you check that out.
It is a text based lesson.
You could copy those to a document or we've included a downloadable PDF with a bunch of ideas for prompts
that we're going to be using in this class.
Specific ideas for what you can use Chatgpt for.
And then also the exact prompts we're going to be using.
So you get a lot of what this course is in the next lesson.
And then beyond that, you can watch us actually do it in real time, dive deeper, go even further
and give you advice on how to write better prompts when we would use this and show real world examples
of how to do this.
Because we're not just chatgpt experts who are trying to teach you this tool for what it's capable of
doing.
Just because we are actual businesses and people using this to make our jobs easier, to save us time,
save us money, and you'll see that in the next lesson.
So I'm so excited to jump right in.
But before you go to the next lesson, I just want to mention that the sections are broken down into
categories quiz and so you can feel free to jump around to a category that makes more sense to you.
But also it might be interesting to just watch through all of it and then cater it to whatever your
business brand, whatever you're using chatgpt for.
And one last thing is we will be continuing to update this course.
We wanted to get this class out here because we know Chatgpt is new, it's fresh, it's hot.
People want to learn it and we know that we can help people like you learn it.
But stay tuned.
We're going to be adding a ton of new content over the next days and weeks to expand this course to
make it even better.
So I hope you enjoy what we have now, but stay tuned for even more.
All right.
See you in the next lesson.
