Win the Online Writing Game with the Power of AI
Are you afraid to use AI?
Most writers are too afraid to use AI for their advantage.
Why?
They are scared that someone will blame them in using AI for actual writing.
But if they don’t use AI at all they simply lose in the online writing game. They can’t keep up with their competition that uses AI capabilities. It’s like trying to win Formula 1 race by walking.
You should be brave enough to use AI.
I am not talking about using AI for actual writing.
There are many other ways to skyrocket your writing results with AI tools.
If you are like me, writing online part-time in addition to your 9-5 job, then using AI is a necessity. Otherwise, you will have absolutely no life except work and writing. The competition is too tough.
I use AI to assist with my writing.
It saves me at least 15 hours a week. I have more time to focus on growing my audience. And doing other things I enjoy.
What can AI do for you?
1. Information search
AI can serve as your super-fast assistant that finds information for you.
It can summarize long articles, find key facts about the topic, and explain complex concepts in simple terms. This will save you hours of sifting through search results. AI is a great tool for such work.
Prompt it with the topic you want to research.
Ask for the summary and the list of sources. Make sure to briefly review the sources yourself. AI can make mistakes too.
Voula, you have all the information you need and can use it for your article as you please.
2. Competitor research
This is one of my favorites.
I am sure you often wonder what top writers do differently. That’s a very good question to ask. And AI will help you find the answer.
Making competitor research has never been easier.
As I always say: “Don’t only listen to what they say. Look at what they do.”
When you start looking at more successful writers, you can fall into the trap of only listening to what they say. Don’t do that. What they say often strongly depends on what they sell. There can be a big difference between what made them successful and what they say about it now.
Your goal is to understand their actions.
Brief AI with the name of a top writer you want to research. Provide the list of questions you have. Get the answers from the tool.
You will be surprised how many useful things you can find like that.
3. SEO keyword research
Do you do SEO for your articles?
If not, you should start doing it. It is still important for online content. AI can help you with that.
AI will be useful in finding relevant keywords and integrating them into your article.
Also, you can ask the tool to identify popular search terms related to your topic. AI is indispensable at suggesting long-tail keywords with less competition. It will help you better understand what your audience is searching for and adjust your writing accordingly.
Use AI as your SEO assistant.
4. Structure your writing
Once you have an idea for your article, AI can help you organize it.
Prompt it with your topic and key points. Then ask the model to create a logical outline with headings/subheadings. It will give you a structured frame, ensuring your article flows well and covers all the points you mentioned.
Everything that’s left for you is to fill this frame with your words.
It increases productivity.
Cuts procrastination.
Gets you started.
5. Strengthen your writing language
Many writers use the same popular and ordinary words in their stories.
Such words as:
nice
good
interesting
These words are normal.
The problem with them, they don’t make your writing language stronger.
AI can help you with that.
AI tools are brilliant at providing you with stronger word options for anything. Real game changer. You should try it.
Just give the model a word and ask it to provide you with 10 stronger synonyms.
That’s how AI saves me time, energy, and allows me to focus on actual writing.
Have a fantastic day!
