How to Use ChatGPT to Help You Write Blog Posts

ChatGPT can be a powerful tool to streamline your blog writing process. Whether you’re looking for inspiration, generating drafts, or creating engaging content, here’s how to make the most of it.

How to Talk to ChatGPT

You can talk to ChatGPT just like you would a human. Use conversational language to ask questions or give prompts. For example, you can say:

  • "Can you give me ideas on what to write about website hosting?"
  • "Write an introduction for a blog about eco-friendly hosting."
  • "Update this paragraph to be more concise."

The more specific your instructions, the better the results.

Let ChatGPT Give You Ideas

If you’re stuck on what to write, ask ChatGPT for ideas. For example:

Prompt: "Can you give me ideas on what to write about website hosting?"

Response:

  • What is Website Hosting and Why Does It Matter?
  • Different Types of Website Hosting: Shared, VPS, Dedicated, and Cloud.
  • How to Choose the Right Hosting Plan for Your Website.
  • The Benefits of Eco-Friendly Web Hosting.

These ideas can spark inspiration and help you hone in on a specific topic.

How to Get ChatGPT to Write

Once you have a topic, let ChatGPT help with drafting. You can provide an outline, notes, or even just a title, and ask it to expand. For example:

Prompt: "Write a blog post about the benefits of eco-friendly web hosting."

ChatGPT can produce a first draft that you can refine and personalise.

Image Generation

If you use the paid version of ChatGPT, you can generate images to complement your blog. Simply ask:

  • "Can you create a simple image for this article?"

You can also refine the results:

  • "Remove the red bus from the image."

While generated images are helpful, using your own photos adds authenticity and ChatGPT is limted (Currently) to only square image, even if you ask it to resize it will just squash the image you asked for 

SEO – Meta Tags

Meta tags are vital for SEO. You can ask ChatGPT to generate:

  • A title (up to 60 characters): "The Benefits of Eco-Friendly Hosting."
  • A description (up to 155 characters): "Discover why eco-friendly hosting improves sustainability while boosting your website’s performance and appeal to eco-conscious users."

These can be added directly into your website’s SEO plugin, such as Yoast in WordPress.

It’s REALLY important to read it back! 

If you’re British, you won't want to be reading ‘color’ and ‘realize’, it can make the writer seem relatable, especially if your business is selling locally or nationally. 

At the moment, ChatGPT seems unable to write in anything other than US English, so you'll need to go through ad correct this, and do that anyway to make sure it sounds like you!

Calls to action

I hate this cheesy term, but it's what it does. You’ve put that hard work iot writing a great post, even if you haven't writing blog posts isn't a tickbox exercise, you’re doing it to build authority in what you do to get customers!
