When to use it

Whenever you need a new article

Step by step

  1. Choose your keywords and reader

    Write down the main phrase you want to be found for, two or three related phrases, and who the article is for.

  2. Get an outline first

    Ask for the outline before the full draft so you can steer it. Paste this into your AI assistant.

    Prompt to copyI'm writing a blog post for [business or blog name]. Reader: [who they are and what they're struggling with]. Main keyword: [phrase]. Related phrases: [list]. Suggest 3 title options (under 60 characters, main keyword near the start) and an outline with an intro, 4-6 H2 headings, a short bullet list under each of what to cover, and a conclusion with a call to action to [action]. Note any facts or figures I'll need to check or supply.
  3. Adjust, then ask for the draft

    Change the outline as you like, then reply: 'Write the full post from this outline, 900-1,200 words, in a friendly, expert tone, short paragraphs, British English. Use my own examples where I've marked them.'

  4. Edit it in Google Docs

    Paste the draft into a Google Doc. Add your own stories, opinions and photos; that is what makes it worth reading and stops it sounding generic.
