What You'll Need
- A computer or smartphone
- A ChatGPT account (free at chat.openai.com)

Steps
1
Open ChatGPT
Go to chat.openai.com and log in (or sign up free).
- Go to chat.openai.com
- Click 'Log in' or 'Sign up'
- Use your email or Google account
2
Tell ChatGPT about your business
Give it context so the posts sound right for you.
- Type something like:
- 'I run a [TRADE] business called [NAME] in [CITY]. My customers are homeowners who need [SERVICES]. I want to sound friendly and professional, not salesy.'
Tip: The more context you give, the better the posts will be.
3
Ask for post ideas
Now ask for social media content.
- Type: 'Give me 10 social media post ideas for my business. Mix of tips, behind-the-scenes, and customer-focused content. Keep them short.'
- ChatGPT will give you 10 ideas with captions
4
Pick your favorites and tweak
Not every idea will be perfect. Pick the best ones.
- Read through all 10 ideas
- Pick 5-7 that feel right
- Edit them to sound more like you
- Ask ChatGPT to rewrite any that aren't quite right
Tip: Say 'Make #3 shorter' or 'Make #7 funnier' to get variations.
5
Match posts to your photos
Pair each post with a photo from your camera roll.
- Look at your recent job photos
- Match captions to relevant images
- Before/after photos work great with transformation posts
- Team photos work with 'meet the crew' posts
