Today I'm going to show you some of the best ways to prompt chat GPT 1. 5 to create some awesome images like you can see right here for example. And it's really easy to generate these. And the other crazy thing is from what I've tested so far actually generates better and nicer images from Nano Banana in many cases. So you've got Google's Nano Banana and then you got Jack GPT's image 1. 5 update. And honestly the images coming out of Chat GPT 1. 5 are actually better in many ways. You can use it to create for example like UGC as well and then you could turn those into videos. You could create Facebook ads, YouTube thumbnails. You can automate all of this and I'm going to talk you through some of the best ways to prompt it plus some example prompts and I'll be giving away all the strategies and techniques inside the AI success lab which we'll come on to in a minute. All right. And the way
that I look at this is it's got five pillars, right? So clarity, figuring out what the image is about, contrast, what makes the subject pop from the background. Context, where does this image live? Is it a thumbnail? Is it an ad? Is it a social media post? What perspective and quality level do you want? And then what action do you want the viewer to take? All right. So, for
example, here you can see with this prompt for the Nike Air Jordan silhouette looks insane. By the way, you can see the quality on the actual of the rain and like even the floor and everything like that. Plus, like the neon and everything really stands out. It's got a nice vibe. If you want to see how we actually prompted that, let me run you through. So, we actually said a Nike Air Jordan silhouette constructed entirely from dark thunderstorm clouds with tiny lightning bolts crackling through the sole and switch logo floating free above wet city pavement reflecting the lighting. Cinematic poster movie style dramatic underlighting from the reflection. Electric blue and purple color palette and then some rays through the cloud material. Right. And you can see here that we've got the image generated. Here's another one that we generated. It's kind of like a movie poster. And I'll come on to some ways you can automate this for business as well to help you. And you can see this kind of cool movie poster that we built. It's called the last algorithm. And what we said here was a glass skyscraper melting like candle wax is floors drooping and stretching toward the ground whilst office lights still glow inside. Pedestrians walking normally below. Here we go. Create a psychological thriller movie poster. A hooded figure stands before a massive wall of glowing code cascading like the ma matrix. But the code is forming into human faces screaming the last algorithm, right? Dark teal and orange color palette. Volutric fog IMAX format, right? And then you got the image right there. And it looks pretty awesome to be fair. Let's have a look here. If we actually copy the link over here and then we open this up in a new tab, we can see an example what it looks like. And it looks super nice, right? And it's really easy
to automate these. So the other cool thing about this as well is it tends to be faster and better versus nano banana. So we'll test the same prompting like nano banana and chat which I've actually done as you can see with this one. Right. So this is a banner that we created kind of like a Facebook ad that you could use for advertising that sort of thing. If you have a look at this like it doesn't make sense quite so for example you've got like white text on a yellow background so it's really hard to read. The white letter is a bit messy. You can see the spacing as well. So, if you were a designer, like that would drive you a bit crazy, but also you're just going to get less clicks, less attention by creating images like that, right? If you're using Nana Banana. So, let me show you what we actually did on Chat GPT to use a similar sort of thing. And you can see we used exactly the same prompt, but the output was like literally 10 times better, right? It looks way nicer. As you can see, like even the details here. So, for example, like yellow text on the black background, and then when you've got the line divide, you've got black text on the yellow background. And then also the white font is actually bolded with a shadow if that's the right way to explain it versus this one which you know looks pretty bad. So you can see the difference in quality between chat GPT 1. 5 image updates which you can see right here versus Google nano banana. And it's really like the first time I've truly looked at how to use chat images properly because I think it's very underrated tool. I think most people are not using it and it's crazy powerful. All right. You can also edit this as well. So you could say, okay, use brighter, more colorful, contrasting colors, something like that. And then you can quickly edit it as well. But the speed at which it generates is way faster. So it's pretty awesome. Now, I'm
going to show you some examples of what I'd recommend when it comes to actually prompting with this. So number one, when it comes to generating those images like the Air Jordan one that we did earlier, number one, you want to layer your concepts, right? So combine two unexpected things. Think for example, Renaissance and tech, for example, something like that, old and new. And then specify the lighting. So for example like volutric fog or golden hour or certain types of lighting etc and transforms that literally transforms the lighting from like very basic to really cinematic. You can add emotional stakes inside the narrative. So for example lass etc. And then request specific art styles. So mixing styles. So for example you could do Gibli meets bladeunner for example to create really unique aesthetics. And then you want to include like the tiny details as you saw in that first prompt. dust particles or coffee stain or crack screen to add realism and interest. All right, so if we go back to chat GPT now, you can see that it's generated a new version. Actually don't think that looks as good, but you can see how you can quickly edit images and that sort of thing. Also, the quality is super nice. So quite often I noticed with Nano Banana is that when it's generating these images on Nano Banana, quite often it's like low res or low quality and then you have to go back and forth with it and say improve the quality, improve the res, etc. Burn says, "Is it worth to buy a subscription only for image 1. 5? " Depends how many images you're creating, right? But the thing is, if you're getting faster and better images, and you don't have to go back and forth with the AI as much, then for me, like I value my time more than the cost of the subscription, but it depends where you're at and where you're at with your business and that sort of thing. So, yeah, it's a really powerful way. You could use this for YouTube thumbnails, actually get clicks. You could use it for Facebook ads images. You could do like product mockups. You could do UGC style content that doesn't like scream this is fake. And you could also use it for like social proof graphics and that sort of thing. So, it's really cool. Now, if we go back to my image prompting guide, the other thing that I would say here is try and generate two to three variations as well. You're not always going to get what you want like perfect. And then also, if you're doing like UGC ads, for example, let's say you're running an e-commerce store, that sort of thing, you need some UGC creative. You always want to be adding like the type of quality. So, for example, if it's a UGC ad use user generated like selfie or something like that, just put iPhone camera quality or authentic phone camera footage inside the prompt to avoid like it looking overpolished. For product shots as well, I'd recommend making sure that you specify product label is clearly readable. Otherwise, chat cheap is going to make the text a bit blurry, if that makes sense. Here's another one. So, if we go back here, let's go back to this one. So this is a thumbnail image that I generated and literally what I said was YouTube thumbnail for this right inserted the name of this live stream similar style to the attached and then I attached a style right here and then it gave us an image right here. I'd still go back and forth with chat a little bit more and generate two or three versions to see which one I like the best. But it's quite easy to generate like YouTube thumbnails as well using this process too. So it's getting really good. Now, if we go back here for faces as well, you would add something like natural skin texture with visible pores to avoid like the waxy face problem. And then for testimonials, include like small imperfections, like slightly messy background or natural flyaway hairs and that sort of thing to just sell the authenticity of that. All
right, so here's how you can generate like these AI avatars. So, if we go in here, we're going to use a prompt. We said a 32-y old woman holding her iPhone at selfie angle, excited expression, blah blah, right? iPhone front camera quality, natural skin texture with no retouching, soft daylight, blah blah, right? And then we'll plug that in and we'll start generating the outputs as you can see. So, it's beginning to create the image. It's a lot faster than it used to be as well. And then you see you've got like this very realistic looking selfie image right here. And it like even the quality of the image, it feels and looks like an iPhone. The other thing you could do is if people are generating UGC with this sort of stuff, you could always go over to Nano, well to Gemini, Google Gemini. Then you would scroll down to create videos and then you can plug in the script that you want to generate video for. So for example, you can say okay generate a video of this woman talking about favorite skinincare product right and then go from there. Bernon says that is crazy dude. Yeah it's pretty insane. The other thing I like about it is it's quite fast. We could do a speed test in a second of nano banana versus Gemini as well. So if we do a new chat here inside chat cheap and also Gemini. The other thing I like as well is usually with Gemini you have to click generate image to get an image out of it. Otherwise it will just generate a text response. Whereas with chat it automatically figures out that this is for an image. So it's generating the video for that. We'll come back to that in a second. All right. So we can also do these sort of call out banners as well. Let's try that out. So product on the left side of the frame. Right side has clean icons with short text call outs. This would be like a very basic Facebook ad that you could use or banner image and that sort of thing. So if we plug that into chat GPT and then we're going to use Nana Banana and we'll test which one creates the image the fastest. All right. So you can see here that you don't have to select images for it to pick up that this is for an image, right? It understands what an image is, what an image prompt would look like. So Nano Banana tends to take quite a bit longer to generate the images. And in the meantime, let me show you this one as well. So this is like quite cool for just generating surreal sort of cinematic images. So, for example, like an astronaut in a dusty white space suit standed before an ornate Victorian wooden door. And you get the notification once this image is created as well. So, if we have a look, here's like a clean basic product image that you could use, for example, for a sales page or that sort of thing, especially if you're in the e-commerce niche. If we have a look here, you got an example from Nano Banana as well. And then it's pointing. To be fair, that's pretty nice as well. They both generate nicer images. GPT tends to generate images faster, but yeah, both look pretty cool. So you can use these image stylings as well for Gemini as well. So you can use the same sort of prompting style, but here's like a kind of surreal cool image that you can see right here, but using the same sort of methods. So it's pretty cool. What I've
actually done is I've plugged in a 30-day plan with prompts daybyday. So you can see how to use this stuff, how to implement it, etc. This is a 30-day prompting plan for you to master chate 1. 5 images. Right? So if you want to learn how to use this stuff, etc. for example, you can just copy and paste this prompt. Go over to chat, generate the image like so of the AI avatar video and then you can go from there. If you go back to Gemini as well, we've got the video that's ready now here as well using that image. So you can create images and then create UGC videos from that as you can see. And there she is. That actually has audio over the top and you can see that it's inserted the skincare product. So we said, for example, I'm generating a video of the woman talking about her favorite skincare product as we specified in the prompt. And then you could use that for e-commerce. So you could just plug in an image of a product, whatever you want to promote and then go from there, right? And then generate videos as well. Let me show you another example. So if we take, for example, let's take the book from my website. As you can see, we'll go back to Gemini, right? We'll take the image of the lady and then my book. Let's copy that image. All right. We'll say, okay, generate a video of this woman talking about the book and how good it is, right? And then it should insert that book into the video with the image of the AI avatar as well. Bernon says, "Where can I ask the page you are following the instructions? " So if you want to get the instructions from today, you can get that inside the AI success lab in the comments in description or just go to chat cheapy and say Julian Goldie AI success lab. This is a community with 43,200 people completely free. If you go to the classroom here, then you go to January 2026 new automations, you actually see an extra free video tutorial that I've created for you. all the links and resources from today. And then also, I've walked through the framework that we use for prompting, as you can see. And then we've given you a 30-day challenge for really learning how to build and create with this stuff, right? Also, if we go down here, what we actually added is 100 prompts that you could use when it comes to actually generating stuff inside your business, right? So, for example, like YouTube thumbnails, you've got, for example, Facebook ad and Instagram ad prompts, professional and corporate stuff, product and photography, and that sort of thing, right? So, pretty much any category of prompt is inside there, right? Here's another example. So, this is the prompt from the 30-day plan. And you can see you can easily generate these sort of selfie images that look very realistic, but of course, it's fully automated with AI, right? Pretty insane. So, you can have a look here, right? And this is the video of the lady talking about the book and how good it is. And then if we have a look here, we'll play this video back. And you can see that she's holding up my book, right? So it says Julian Goldie on the book. That's like a lifelike video of my book. And you can see we just use that from like a 2D photo, right? Little 2D photo right there. And if we scroll down here, you can see like she's it looks very realistic. It looks very real. It looks pretty cool. And how easy was that to generate? Just a couple of clicks. And then you can download that and use it how you will. So that's it. You've seen how to generate like product images, how to generate videos, how to generate avatars and then turn them into avatar videos and UGC content. I've given you a 30-day plan for learning this stuff and also an extra video tutorial over 100 prompts and that sort of thing on how to use this. There's so much stuff you can do with this. It's absolutely wild. Let's run through some
of the limited beliefs. I know some people say text and images never works, right? But I think GPD image 1. 5 has solved the text problem. For example, if we go back to some of the stuff that we generated earlier, right? So, for example, this one, you can see that the text itself has rendered nicely and it's all spelled correctly as well. And so, this used to be true, but I think GPT image 1. 5 has really changed that. And I've generated loads of images with this stuff, and it seems to have evolved and unlocked that capability to generate text correctly. Other people are going to say creating content visuals with AI takes too long, but you've seen how quick it is. It's faster than Nano Banana for using this, and I really value my time, so that helps a lot, too. And then other people say can't compete with brands that have design teams. But I think AI is the equalizer. Solo operators or smaller entrepreneurs can now create images at scale, produce a lot of content. And then you can iterate on this as well. Right? So you can design, you can describe the edit. So for example for this, if you said make the background yellow, you can easily edit the image, change what you want, etc. Right? You can also select different areas of this. So you could change the background and then just based on your selection you could say okay change the background to a waterfall something like that and then it does it pretty quickly as well and then you can easily insert these videos and that sort of thing. So really powerful tool very underrated I know chat it doesn't have a good reputation especially with 5. 2 that just came out recently but you can see how easy it is to edit images create them and the outputs are super nice and you can prompt in so many different ways. So thanks so much for watching. If you want
