Straight BS: '99 ChatGPT prompts for sales and marketing' is a list of 99 slash-words like /swotanalysis and /coldemail that aren't prompts and aren't ChatGPT commands; the 'full list' is behind a comment

Facebook · Oct 2026

The claim'99 ChatGPT prompts for sales and marketing you need to know today.' The image lists 99 items in nine categories, each written as a slash command: /marketingaudit, /swotanalysis, /buyerpersona, /coldemail, /objectionhandler, /abtest, /marketingmastermind and so on. 'Comment LINK for the full list.'

These are not prompts. Each of the 99 items is a single slash-word, such as /swotanalysis, /coldemail or /closingquestions, with no instruction, context or example behind it. ChatGPT does not have built-in commands by these names; its slash menu is a short list of tools, not a marketing library, so typing '/buyerpersona' just gives the model a vague hint and it will guess what you meant. You would get a far better answer from one plain sentence such as 'write three cold emails to dental office managers about our scheduling software, under 100 words each'. The graphic works as a list of 99 marketing tasks you might ask an AI to help with, and that has some value as a checklist. But as advertised, '99 ChatGPT prompts you need to know', it delivers none, and the actual content is held behind 'comment LINK', the standard comment-bait used to push a post's reach and collect DMs. We did not open the linked 'full list', so if it contains real prompts this grade would soften; that is why confidence is Medium.

What holds up

  • Post and image read in Todd's logged-in browser (zoomed screenshot); all nine categories and the slash-word format confirmed.
  • ChatGPT's '/' shortcut menu offers a handful of tools, not named marketing commands; custom shortcuts would have to be defined by the user.
  • The 'full list' behind 'comment LINK' was not opened (it is delivered by DM); confidence set to Medium.

What doesn’t

  • Called prompts; they are single words.
  • Implies ChatGPT has these slash commands; it doesn't.
  • 'Comment LINK' comment bait.

The catch

A slash-word is not a prompt. One clear sentence with your audience and goal beats all 99.

How to actually do it

  • Use the list only as ideas for tasks.
  • Turn one into a real prompt: the task, the audience, the offer, the length, and an example you like.
  • If you repeat a task often, save that full prompt as a custom GPT, Claude Project or text snippet.

99 slash-words, not prompts or ChatGPT commands; the real content sits behind 'comment LINK'.
