Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we work and write. But, while it may seem intimidating, in reality it is simply one more tool we can use to increase our productivity and efficiency. In this article, you will learn how to write a blog article with ChatGPT, a language model trained by OpenAI.
It is important to note that AI is not a replacement for writers, but an aid that can make it easier for us to write a blog article. With a few tricks and appropriate techniques, it is possible to use artificial intelligence to organize our ideas and write an article more efficiently.
The key is in the commands we enter at the ChatGPT prompt. The way we write these commands can have a big impact on the final result of the article. In this tutorial, you will learn the best methods for writing an effective prompt and how to use ChatGPT to write quality blog articles.
How to create a user in ChatGPT
Before you start writing a blog article with ChatGPT, you need to create a user. Fortunately, this process is very simple and only takes a few minutes. Here’s how to do it.
The first step is to enter chat.openai.com where we will find the following screen:
Immediately the screen to create a new user will appear. ChatGPT constantly validates that we are a natural person, since many people use it to create spam. Therefore, I recommend creating a new account through Google or Microsoft, since in this way we can validate our identity with a simple click, without having to permanently type our password. If there is a choice between the 2 options, I would go for Microsoft, since thanks to the fact that they recently invested $1 billion in OpenAI, it is expected that our Microsoft account will have multiple integrations with Office products and other company tools.
ChatGPT will then make a few brief queries and ask us to validate our identity by means of a telephone number to which we will receive a code by SMS:
Ready! Select the account you want to use for ChatGPT and you are ready to start typing! The first screen that appears is the following:
This is the main ChatGPT interface. Here we can find:
- New chat: allows us to start a new conversation with ChatGPT. As a general rule, whenever we are changing the subject it is advisable to use a new chat, since ChatGPT remembers the “conversation” we have had, and responds based on previous interactions.
- Clear conversations: clears all existing conversations
- Upgrade Plan: this option appeared yesterday, with the possibility of purchasing a higher plan for 20 USD.
- Light mode: I recommend the Dark mode, since there is a lot of text reading, and in this way we will be taking care of our eyes.
- OpenAI Discord: Discord channel to interact with the OpenAI community and other users.
- Updates & FAQ: latest news about ChatGPT and a few help articles
- Log out: to log out of our account
- The bottom bar in the center of the screen: this is where we will write all our prompts. I recommend starting with a simple ‘Hello!
How to write the best blog article titles with ChatGPT
The title of a blog post is the first thing people see when they find your content online, so it’s important to write engaging titles that grab readers’ attention. With ChatGPT, it is possible to write titles more efficiently and optimized for the main keyword of your article.
The right prompt to get the best titles for your blog article is:
“Propose 5 titles for a blog article on [insertar el tema que queremos desarrollar]. Use the keyword [insertar palabra clave principal del artículo]”.
For example, if we are writing a blog article on how to write a blog article with ChatGPT, the prompt could be: “Propose 5 titles for a blog article on how to write a blog article with ChatGPT. Use the keyword ‘how to write a blog post with ChatGPT'”.
By using this prompt, ChatGPT will provide us with 5 titles optimized for the main keyword of our article. These titles will be attractive and will accurately describe the content of our article, which will help attract more readers.
Remember that titles should be concise and attractive, and should give a clear idea of what the reader can expect to find in the article. By using ChatGPT to write titles, you will save time and ensure that your titles are optimized for online search.
Important considerations before continuing to use ChatGPT
Before continuing to use ChatGPT to write a blog article, there are several important considerations to keep in mind. Here are some key points to consider when writing with ChatGPT:
- The text generated by ChatGPT is not a final version. It is important to review and edit the text before publishing it, to make sure it is consistent and fits your writing style. The text returned by the Artificial Intelligence is an outline that serves to avoid having to start writing on a blank page. The ideal is to give our touch to the text, adding information about what ChatGPT offered us.
- The ideal when writing a ChatGPT prompt is to add as much information as possible, so that the model has a clear idea of what we are looking for. The more detailed the prompt, the better the result. With this, we will achieve that the text generated is highly personalized and specialized, thus distinguishing it from the rest of the people who are using this tool to write.
- It is important to add “keywords” at the end of the prompt, so that ChatGPT inserts them naturally into the text. This will help optimize content for online search and attract more readers. At least 1 or 2 keywords must necessarily be mentioned in the title of the blog article. Keywords are always enclosed in quotation marks.
- It is important to indicate the tone of voice you want to use in your article. For example, if you want the article to be informative, you should indicate this in the prompt. If you want the article to be funny or ironic, you should include that information in the prompt as well. ChatGPT can write texts with different voice tones. For example, we can instruct him/her to write with a natural and cheerful tone, or to write as a teacher would, or to write in an academic, business-like manner, etc. ChatGPT will adapt the text to the required tone. You can also ask to write in Argentinean Spanish or the corresponding country to use a language optimized for local positioning, but the ideal is to write in neutral Spanish, which is the default.
How to write a blog article introduction with ChatGPT
It is important to write an attractive and effective introduction to the blog article. After choosing the final title for our article, it is time to write the introduction. It is important to include all the information that we want to see reflected in the text using the command “Mention [incluir texto]”.
To write the introduction, we can use a prompt like this one:
“Write an introduction for the blog article with the title [número del título elegido]. Mention [incluir temas a mencionar]. Use the keywords “[palabra clave 1]” and “[palabra clave 2]”. Use a tone [tono seleccionado]”.
In this way, we can obtain a well-structured introduction optimized for our keywords, as well as making sure to include all the topics we want to develop in our article. Remember that the tone of voice is an important aspect to consider in order to create an attractive and coherent text.
How to write sections for blog article with ChatGPT
The best way to write a blog article with artificial intelligence is to build it step by step. To achieve this, the ideal is to build section by section, with a different prompt for each one. In this way, we will achieve that the length of the text for each section is optimal, and that ChatGPT remembers everything we have “conversed” with the artificial intelligence, to concatenate the ideas in an effective and coherent way.
It is essential that at the time of writing the sections, we indicate the topics that the artificial intelligence must necessarily mention. This is especially important to maintain consistency in the content and a clear structure in the article.
The prompt is where we introduce all our knowledge and where we can make the result unique and different from what anyone else can create with the same tool. This is where we can harness the power of artificial intelligence to the fullest.
To achieve this, we use the magic word “Mention”. This command allows us to specify additional information that we want to be included in the text generated by ChatGPT. In this way, we can make the best use of artificial intelligence to write our blog articles.
The ideal prompt to build our blog article sections with ChatGPT
In addition, it is important to mention that as we write the sections of our blog article, it is essential to be concise and specific with the topics we want to be mentioned. The idea is for artificial intelligence to have a clear direction and a complete understanding of what we expect to be included in each section.
The appropriate prompt to accomplish this is:
“Write a section with title “[título de la sección]”. Mention [introducir especificaciones 1]. Mention [introducir especificaciones 2]. Mention [introducir especificaciones 3]. Use the keyword “[palabra clave 1]” and “[palabra clave 2]””.
With this prompt, artificial intelligence will be able to clearly understand what we want to include in each section and how we want the content to be developed.
It is important to keep in mind that by using this technique, we will be able to make our blog article unique and specific to our audience. In addition, we will be able to achieve a keyword optimization that will be of great help to improve the positioning of our article in the online search results.
Ready! You can start writing blog articles with ChatGPT now!
As you build the sections, the blog post will take shape. Personally, what usually happens to me is that while ChatGPT is writing, I get new ideas based on what he answers. With those new ideas, I usually write new blog posts, or even completely change the direction of the article I’m writing. Artificial intelligence is a tool with extraordinary potential to increase our productivity. ChatGPT allows us to write blog articles quickly and efficiently, without having to sacrifice the quality and originality of the content. In addition, the ability to customize the content through specialized prompts allows us to adapt the result to our needs.
In short, artificial intelligence is a valuable tool that allows us to save time and effort on repetitive tasks, while giving us the flexibility to customize content to meet our specific needs. By using it responsibly, we can achieve a breakthrough in our productivity and efficiency.
And now, the challenge: what percentage of this article do you think was created with artificial intelligence? What if I told you it was less than 50%? And yet, ChatGPT multiplied my productivity and allowed me to write it in a very short time!
