AI Prompts for Content Creators and Bloggers

AI Prompts for Content Creators and Bloggers

When using AI tools such as Chat GPT, and Gemini, you will provide instructions using prompts.

You are going to tell the AI system what you want it to generate. So, you need to master prompts so you can get useful, interesting content.

You will need to check it thoroughly, but it is a great way to get ideas for content and get you going. 

So, here are some prompts that will help you get more interesting, credible, and evergreen content.

You can use one, or a combination of these, to get the output you want.  The better the input, the better the output.

1. Stats, Facts and Citations

Prompt: Please write a blog post about [insert topic here] and use statistics and facts throughout the article while citing your sources, using data from well known sources.

.And when you add in stats and data to your blog, it helps with credibility.

Including citations shows you have done your research - but do check on the citations to see if these are sources you would trust.

This prompt gives me ideas for social content, blog posts, and podcast episodes.

2. Storytelling

You could expand the above by prompting your AI tool to incorporate a storytelling format for the introduction.

Prompt: Please write a blog post about [insert topic here] and use statistics and facts throughout the article while citing your sources, using data from well known sources. Use a storytelling format for the introduction and summary.

By having ChatGPT/Gemini add storytelling to your introductory paragraphs, you will engage the audience quicker.
