🧠 What’s Role-Based Prompting?

You give the AI a specific identity—a role—with context like:

• Years of experience

• Area of expertise

• Approach or mindset

• Industry focus

This makes AI respond like an expert, not a generalist.

🧩 When to Use It:

• Writing sales pages (act as a copywriter trained by Gary Halbert)

• Designing launch plans (act as a strategist who’s run 100+ digital product launches)

• Improving funnels (act as a CRO specialist focused on reducing drop-off)

• Planning social media (act as a growth manager for Instagram or TikTok)

• Creating campaigns that combine strategy + execution (act as a marketing director who blends paid ads, email, and content)

---

🛠️ Try This Prompt:

“Act as a product launch strategist who’s helped 100+ creators go from idea to income. Create a 14-day pre-launch email sequence for my digital course on [topic]. Your strategy should include curiosity-building, authority, and urgency.”

You’ll get stronger sequencing, smarter angles, and fewer rewrites.

🔄 Pro Tip: Mix Roles for More Power

• “Act as a SaaS growth expert who understands sales funnels and onboarding UX.”

• “Act as a direct response copywriter and social media strategist writing a tweet thread that leads to a product opt-in.”
