Using ChatGPT to Improve Your Writing

In December, my friend told me ChatGPT would replace my writing.

You're crazy, I told him, it's too basic.

Boy, was I wrong...

After spending hundreds of hours playing with it and taking courses,

I now use ChatGPT to improve what I Write, Every Single Day.

Here's how:

• Define You

You want ChatGPT to sound like you.

You don't want it to sound like a robot, which is why I tell it my:

• Writing Style
• Writing Tone
• Background

The more we teach ChatGPT how we write, the more it will sound like us,

And, be easier for us to edit. pic.twitter.com/Ju1nK7eZm8

• Constraint It

Now that it knows your background, writing style and tone, let's constrain it:

• Hemingway
• Grade 5 Vocab
• Reduce adverbs
• Feynman Technique
• Contractions & conjunctions

• Use Specific Asks

Be as specific as possible.

• What are you writing
• Who will it be delivered to
• What do you want them to do
• Are there any formats it should use
• Should it use a copywriting technique

• Use it to Dig Deeper

Once ChatGPT has given you the outline,

Refine what you're looking for.

Ask it to give you more information on what you are searching for.

• Ask it to Expand Further

That's a great start, but you may want more.

There may be two or three areas that you want it to expand on.

Pick those spots and ask it to get back to work for you and away it goes: pic.twitter.com/X3JXKs98MD

• Use it to Research the Topic

Alright, things are starting to cook, but we don't want to only use bulleted lists and paragraphs from ChatGPT.

Any Average Joe can do that, but we want you to stand out from the pack.

• Use it to Summarize the Research

Now that you have a list of articles, it's time to make magic.

We're going to ask ChatGPT to summarize the articles that sound interesting.

We want it to do it in an easy-to-read way we can incorporate into our newsletter or article. pic.twitter.com/rOHgukY0Li

• Expand, Explore and Have Fun With It

At the end of the day, ChatGPT is a tool.

How YOU use it is going to determine how successful you are.

Have fun. Push yourself and the tool to do more and help you become the best writer you can be.
