  2. Social Media – “Transform Your Social Media Content with the Power of Midjourney Prompts“

Step-by-Step How to Use Midjourney with ChatGPT and AIPRM

Since my last blog about “Revolutionizing Visual Content Creation with Midjourney and ChatGPT,” many have asked me how I use Midjourney in my work and for fun.

Take note for this How-To Tutorial; I subscribed to the Premium versions of three applications:

  1. ChatGPT (Premium)
  2. AIPRM for ChatGPT (Chrome Extension)
  3. MidJourney (Premium)

Once you have installed AIPRM – ChatGPT chrome extension and login to your ChatGPT account, you can see many examples of Free ChatGPT Prompts. The Verified AIPRM Prompts need to upgrade the subscription further.

You can search for Midjourney Prompts. You can try many prompts and select the ones with high user votes.

Using a simple description of the image you want to create will suggest several prompts for you to try. You can modify the selected prompt before you insert it into Midjourney.

Copy the total prompt which begins with “/imagine prompt: ………… “ and insert it into the command line in Midjourney.

You can choose which image to Upscale “U” or have more variant “V.”

For example, I can choose “U4” to upscale and might need to enhance it further.

The first thing you need to do is to click the image and open it in the browser. Copy the URL of the image, insert it again into the prompt, and give a few more descriptions.

That’s it!

How to Change the Default Aspect Ratio

By default, the aspect ratio of Midjourney images is square. To change, add “- -ar 2:3” or “- -ar 3:2” to the prompt.

The Ultimate AI Tutorial and Tips

Automate Your Digital Lifestyle

Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?

Since 2008, I’ve had the same phrase written on my Twitter handle, “The Ultimate Goal of IoT is to Automate Your Digital Lifestyle.”

The Internet of Things (IoT) has always been a fascinating topic for me. My passion for it led me to create IoT World, a blog dedicated to exploring and discussing this ever-evolving technology.

Imagine a world where IoT seamlessly integrates with your life, enhancing your senses and allowing you to interact with things you otherwise couldn’t do remotely. This is the future I envision, and with each passing day, we’re getting closer to that reality.

Take smartphones, for instance. These IoT devices have come a long way in just a few years. Applications that were once thought impossible are now commonplace, and we can accomplish tasks in a fraction of the time it used to take.

Now, let’s consider the powerful combination of IoT, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Generative AI. This trio has the potential to revolutionize the way we live and work. From generating realistic text and images to performing complex tasks with ease, AI-driven IoT devices can become our personal assistants, making us more productive than ever.

I dream of a day when our everyday routines are programmed and automated, freeing us to focus on new experiences and challenges. Imagine waking up to a perfectly brewed cup of coffee, your home already at the ideal temperature, and your favorite playlist queued up, all without lifting a finger. This level of automation would allow us to spend more time on the things that truly matter.

So, what do you think? Are you as excited about the future of IoT as I am? I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas on how IoT can improve our lives. Let’s chat in the comments below, and remember; we’re all here to learn from each other and make the most of this incredible technology.

Revolutionizing Visual Content Creation with Midjourney and ChatGPT

Introduction

Visual content is integral to digital marketing, advertising, and social media presence. It’s no secret that using high-quality images can significantly enhance the effectiveness of your content.

However, finding the right photos can be challenging, especially when you need specific images for your posters or social media platforms.

After trying various options, such as free stock photos and event images, I stumbled upon a fantastic combination that changed the game: Midjourney, an image generation program, and ChatGPT, a powerful AI language model.

Here’s my experience with these tools and some examples of the fantastic images they helped me create.

The Struggle for the Right Images

Finding the perfect photos for my marketing materials had been an uphill battle. I tried using free stock photos and images from events, but they didn’t quite capture the essence of what I wanted. I experimented with Bing Image Creator, but the results were disappointing, as it failed to generate realistic images of people in action.

Discovering Midjourney

My search for a better solution led me to Midjourney, an image generation program that promised to create unique, realistic images based on user input. Intrigued, I decided to give it a try. After subscribing to the service, I began exploring its features and was immediately impressed by its capabilities.

Leveraging ChatGPT for Better Prompts

While Midjourney had immense potential, providing the program with accurate and descriptive prompts to generate the desired images was essential. That’s where ChatGPT came into play. Using this AI language model, I could generate clear and concise prompts to guide Midjourney in creating visually striking images that matched my requirements.

The Perfect Collaboration

This powerful combination of Midjourney and ChatGPT revolutionized my content creation process. I could now generate images that captured the right emotions and looked realistic and engaging. My posters and social media content finally had the visual impact I had always wanted.

Examples of Midjourney Images

Here are some samples of the images I created using Midjourney with the help of ChatGPT-generated prompts:

AI created photos

Conclusion

Midjourney and ChatGPT have genuinely transformed the way I approach visual content creation. By leveraging the power of these two tools, I can now generate images that are not only visually stunning but also perfectly aligned with my content’s message. If you struggle to find the right images for your marketing materials, try this dynamic duo – the results may amaze you.

So, I felt like I’d hit the jackpot with this Midjourney and ChatGPT combo. I mean, who wouldn’t, right?

The more I worked with these two, the more I felt I’d discovered my digital dream team. It was like having my personal photographer and creative writer work together to make my visual content look like a million bucks.

Remember those days when we would spend hours searching for the perfect image, only to end up with something “good enough”? Yeah, those days are long gone, my friends. With Midjourney and ChatGPT, I can create exactly what I need whenever I need it: no more settling, no more frustrations.

The best part is I’m not the only one noticing the difference. My social media engagement has been through the roof. I’ve even had some folks ask me if I hired a professional photographer. Ha! Little do they know, I, Midjourney, and ChatGPT are working our magic.

Eid Mubarak: A Walk Down Memory Lane

What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?

Hey there, dear readers! Today, I’m feeling a little nostalgic and want to take you all on a trip down memory lane, as I reminisce about my experiences during Eid Mubarak, also known as Eidulfitri. It’s that special time of the year when Muslims worldwide celebrate the first day of Syawal, right after a month of fasting during Ramadan.

You know what they say: “Time flies and emotions change as we grow older.” Well, that couldn’t be more true when I think about how Eid has evolved for me over the years.

Back in the good ol’ days (I’m talking 1960s-1970s), Eid was a thrilling time for us kids. We’d dress up in our best clothes and visit family and friends. The cherry on top? The “duit Raya” (angpow or money) we’d receive! As kids, those 20 cents or 50 cents felt like a fortune.

Fast forward a couple of decades, and I found myself married with children. Suddenly, Eid became all about watching the excitement in my kids’ eyes as they collected their own “duit Raya.” By then, the amount had increased to about RM 1 or RM 2. It warmed my heart to see them so happy.

Now, I’m a grandparent, and the landscape has shifted yet again. Family gatherings on the first day of Syawal have become a cherished tradition, but getting everyone together can be a bit of a challenge. With in-laws and everyone’s busy schedules, it’s not always easy to find a time that works for all.

And can you believe it? The “duit Raya” these days has shot up to RM 5-RM 10 each! Time does fly.

So, that’s my little trip down memory lane for you all. How about you? How do you celebrate Raya? I’d love to hear your stories and experiences. Let’s cherish our memories and share the joy this festive season brings.

Until next time, Selamat Hari Raya, and happy celebrations!

How Blogs Have Changed

In the early days, Blogs are purely written articles. The main reason is the Internet was relatively slow.

I remember when we are using dial-up and downloading an article with images can be very frustrating. The photos appear slowly on our screen; at times, they will “hang” and not be downloaded fully.

But as the speed of the Internet progresses, we can now view richer multimedia content, from audio and images to videos.

And with that, Blogs have changed from purely written content to a mixture of content.

Earlier, people perceived video would take over the written content, but it’s false. There are pros and cons of having to consume video.

Some people don’t like to consume video at the office because you need to switch on the sound, or sometimes it’s very difficult to scan through the overall content; unlike written content, you can quickly browse through the whole topic and focus on the ones that you want to read.

But if some people prefer audio, you might want to do podcasting. The fantastic thing about podcasts is that people will listen to your voice, and you seem to be talking to them directly – everywhere and anytime.

Here are my Podcast Channels and my YouTube channels.

However, in 2023, Blogs have changed – bloggers started to combine several media into their blogs – photos, presentation slides, podcasts, and videos. It can be easily embedded into the blogs.

Check out Problogger podcast Episode 187, “Is Written Content Dead?“. Very interesting point of view.

Camping – Once During My Lifetime

Have you ever been camping?

That was during my University years (if not mistaken). I remembered that I had a motorcycle and taken a ride with some friends to can at Port Dickson beach.

It was more than 90km ride (I think this this furthest ride I have been during my younger years).

I don’t recall much but we set a camp at the beach for a one night stay.

As much as I would like to remember, but my memory nowadays don’t last that long.

That’s it!🤣

This is not Port Dickson but Sydney

Morning – Most Productive Time

When do you feel most productive?

I woke up early – about 5.15am or 5.30 am. After Suboh prayers, I reached office about 7.00 am if not much traffic or 7.30 am latest.

This is my most productive time when there’s no one at the office.

I prepared and published all my social media contents such as TikTok videos or FB/IG Stories and Reels.

My computer browser will open up with ChatGPT as the default home.

ChatGPT is my saviour for my copy writing and content ideas. No longer my social media post will be lacking interesting call to action scripts.

I am able to write a couple of Blogs including Professional and Personal Blog articles.

I always used Canva for the posters. Previously I will use the free stock photos to decorate my poster, but now I am using Bing Image Creator (using AI) to create them.

With the help of ChatGPT to create the image prompt for the Bing Image Creator, I can have better photos.

If I am lazy, I will just use the images for my TikTok videos.

By 9.00 am, I will share my selected Blog articles to my WhatsApp Groups. Since I have two mailing lists – Mailchimp and Payhip, I will share similar or different contents.

That’s how I spent every morning if I don’t have external meetings.

Actually this morning routine, I have only started since January 2023 and I found it to be most productive time.

How about you?

In today’s fast-paced digital age, being recognized as a thought leader in your industry is more critical than ever. But how can you achieve this status? This article will discuss some critical tips for becoming a thought leader in any field.

Educate Others

The first step to becoming a thought leader is to educate others. Share your knowledge with your audience about your industry, product, service, or company mission. One way to do this is by starting a blog and regularly posting content about your industry and product. This can help you establish credibility and build a following of people who look to you for information and advice.

Create a Personal Brand

Once you have established yourself as an expert in your industry, it’s time to create a personal brand. This can be challenging, especially if you don’t have much experience in marketing or public speaking. However, by being yourself and building relationships with others who share your values and beliefs, you can create a personal brand that resonates with your target audience.

Establish Social Proof

Social proof is a measure of how much other people like your content. This can be gained by having a solid social media presence or by having many followers, likes, shares, and comments on your posts. When people see that others are talking about you on social media or that you are verified on Facebook or Twitter, they are likelier to believe what you say, give you money, or buy from you.

Publish Regularly

To establish yourself as an authority in your field, it’s important to publish content regularly. These include blog posts, social media updates, videos, podcasts, or webinars. By sharing your thoughts and ideas with the world, you can build trust with potential clients who may want to hire or do business with you.

Be Active on Social Media

Social media is one of the most essential tools for building your brand and establishing yourself as a thought leader. Share your content on social media platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook. Engage with other thought leaders in your industry by commenting on their posts and participating in online groups and forums.

Make Your Content Easy to Share

Make sure that your content is easy to share. Use a call to action, such as “Share on Facebook!” or “Tweet this!” Make sure the text is easy to read and doesn’t have unnecessary clutter in it. Use high-quality images and subheadings to make your content more readable.

Have a Point of View and Be an Authority

To become a thought leader, you need to have a point of view and be an authority in your industry. Be unique and controversial, but in a good way—not offensive or hurtful. Share your knowledge and experiences with others and create content that is easy to share.

In conclusion, becoming a thought leader takes time and effort. Still, by following these tips, you can establish yourself as an authority in your industry and build a following of people who look to you for information and advice. Remember to educate others, create a personal brand, establish social proof, publish regularly, be active on social media, make your content easy to share, and have a viewpoint and authority in your industry.
