Having a blog as a business owner is a smart idea because it gives you a place on the internet to direct all your website traffic. Your blog can be a central hub for building your email list, selling or promoting products and, most importantly, showing your expertise in your topic area. While blogging may seem simple at first, it’s actually a complex process that requires a strategic approach with many different moving parts. If you only blog occasionally without taking it seriously it won’t matter. However, if you want your blog to attract a lot of traffic & encourage people to take action, you may need help from artificial intelligence (AI), unless you’re willing to pay a lot for an entire team or top tools.
There are many opportunities and benefits to blogging but there are also downsides in terms of the time it takes to create optimized and engaging content. AI can assist with many different aspects of your blogging journey. If you’ve started a blog & found it overwhelming to juggle all the content demands, lack of ideas, writer’s block, and technical challenges that bloggers face you don’t have to worry about that anymore. With an AI-assisted approach, you’ll cut your blogging work in half freeing up time to develop products or monetize your business in other ways.
But you can’t simply ask AI to create a blog post; there’s more that goes into it. With a proper library of prompts that you can use repeatedly, the process becomes fast and easy. Now you can have a platform that helps build your authority and connect with your audience, which ultimately leads to higher income. AI can also assist in maintaining your unique voice and personality, allowing your audience to get to know you better.
By working with AI, you’ll never feel rushed or desperate. To create content or ensure it performs well with search engines and readers can be a challenge. AI can serve as a safeguard to assist when needed and check everything before publishing. Blogging can either be a burdensome task you do manually or an exciting way to build your business with cutting-edge technology that won’t break your budget.
Now here’s how to effectively prompt AI for blogging assistance: If you haven’t started your blog yet or feel disorganized with your content, use AI to help find a unique angle that sets you apart in your topic area. Being too broad or too narrow can sabotage your efforts. You want original content that stands out. Prompt AI with something like: “Give me 50 angles for an entire blog (not just one post) on the [broad topic] that are distinctly different from most others but can continue indefinitely.” For example, on bug-out survival, it might suggest topics such as bug-out gear, vehicle-based bugging out, long-term survival skills, region-specific bushcraft for bugging out, etc. Alternatively, you could prompt: “Give me niche angles by identifying underserved audiences or gaps.” To analyze a top blog, prompt: “Help me understand the tone & angle this blogger uses to attract their audience.” You could also say: “Conduct audience research on their needs, frustrations, values, etc., for my upcoming content.” Even: “Ensure my angle aligns with [monetization plan].” If monetizing is your goal, prompt: “Give me blog angles in the [niche] space that allow for
With the right prompts, AI can provide a wealth of ideas, analysis and guidance. Recommending products with a minimalist, anti-consumerism tone will work against your goal of attracting readers to your blog, even though it might initially draw some interest. Once you have chosen a clear direction for your blog, you should stick to it consistently. Ideally, both search engines and human visitors should be able to instantly recognize that all of your content meets the expectations of your target audience.
This will help establish your blog as an authority in its niche. Most blogs lack clear organization and structure, making it difficult for readers to navigate the content effectively. To appeal to both search engines and human readers, it is important to have a well-organized hierarchy for your content. I can assist you in mapping out content categories and pillar posts for your blog.
For example you could ask me: “Create a structured list of 10 main content categories for a blog about bushcraft for survival situations. Include 5 subtopics under each main category.” The result would provide 10 main categories, such as shelter building, fire-making, water sourcing and purification or foraging for wild edibles with 5 subtopics listed under each main category. For instance, under the category of shelter building, you might have subtopics like shelters using tarps insulated debris huts elevated sleeping platforms camouflaging shelters, & waterproofing techniques. You can then create comprehensive content around each of those subtopics.Here is the text rewritten with factual & easy to understand vocabulary using only English: Create main “pillar” blog posts for each major category and subtopic, with smaller more specific articles linking back to these main posts. For example, you could ask: “Give me a main blog post title and angle for building shelters to which the subtopics can link.” I might suggest a title like “Essential Techniques for Mastering Shelter Building for Survival.” The subtopics you listed would then support and link back to this main post, helping it rank higher in search engines and attract more traffic to your site.
I could also provide a list of specific titles for a series of linked sub-posts such as “How to Build a Shelter Using Only Natural Materials,” “5 Hidden Shelter Designs to Keep You Out of Sight,” or “Fast Emergency Shelter Setups for Rain, Wind & Storms.” Also, I can help you plan your evergreen and trending content ideas for your blog. You could ask: “Give me a list of 10 evergreen and 10 trending content ideas related to survival skills.” Most content in this topic is evergreen, as there is constant interest in preparing for potential survival situations. However, I would also provide trending topics that are currently generating higher interest such as a post about preparing for a cyber attack that could cause a power outage or how preppers can learn from shelter systems used in war zones. The goal is to use my assistance to organize your content in a structured way that keeps readers engaged on your site. Disorganized & scattered content will cause visitors to leave quickly.
You can even ask me to analyze the content structure of top-ranking competitor blogs in your topic by asking: “Analyze the content categories & subtopics for top-ranking blogs on survival skills.” This will help ensure your content is properly grouped for different types of readers such as beginner survivalists versus advanced preppers.Here is the text rewritten with factual and easy-to-understand vocabulary using only English: Blogging is a great way to share your knowledge and connect with readers. However, creating high-quality blog content can be difficult & time-consuming. Fortunately, artificial intelligence (AI) can help make the blogging process easier and improve the quality, engagement, and search engine optimization (SEO) of your content. Using AI for Content Creation and Editing AI can assist you in writing compelling blog posts that your audience will enjoy. If you feel the content doesn’t sound like your voice or capture the right tone you can ask the AI to rewrite it using your preferred style & language.
For example, if the content seems boring, you can ask the AI to “make the writing more exciting to motivate the reader.” Or, if the text seems too dense, you can request the AI to “make this blog post easier to skim by adding more subheadings, bullet points, shorter paragraphs, & bolding key points.” Grabbing the reader’s attention from the start is important. You can ask the AI to “write three different opening paragraphs for this blog post with one starting with a question, one expressing a strong opinion, and the third using a relatable statement.” To make the content more engaging, you can ask the AI to “add a real-world example that helps explain the concepts discussed.” Research & Building Authority As a blogger, establishing yourself as an authority in your topic area is essential. AI can help you research & gather relevant data, statistics, and information to support your content. For example, you can ask the AI to “provide a list of relevant statistics on my topic including sources for each one.” Or, you can ask the AI to “summarize this information in simple language for beginners.” If you’re writing about an unfamiliar topic, you can have the AI “explain it to you before you start writing or have the AI write it using your tone and style.” To ensure you address your audience’s concerns, you can prompt the AI to “give me the top 10 questions people looking for information on this topic might want answered, so I can cover them in this post.” Better Blog SEO Search engine optimization (SEO) is crucial for driving traffic to your blog. AI can assist with various SEO tasks, from keyword research to interlinking & backlink opportunities.
You can start by asking the AI to “give me a list of 20 potential blog post keywords based on [topic], including a mix of broad & specific phrases.” Also, you can request the AI to “tell me which keyword phrases have the highest [informational, buyer, etc.] search intent.” To structure your content around specific topics and SEO goals, you can prompt the AI to “group the keywords into content clusters or categories for my upcoming blog content.” During writing, you can have the AI “create an H1 title and H2 subheadings for this content that naturally fit the main keyword goal.” If any phrase feels forced, you can ask the AI to “suggest alternative phrases related to the keyword so I can naturally include related terms without overusing the keyword.” For images, you can request the AI to “write the alt text for the attached blog image(s) for this post, focusing on the primary and supporting keyword phrases.” AI can assist with various SEO tasks like inserting keywords writing meta descriptions within character limits, and creating schema markup with simple prompts. If you have existing content that wasn’t properly optimized, you can use an AI tool to improve it. You can ask the AI to: “Update this blog post with relevant keywords for the topic, including one main keyword and related phrases. Make sure the content sounds natural and is easy for readers to understand.” The AI can also help you with linking strategies within your blog and obtaining backlinks from other sites.
For interlinking between your own posts, you can provide the AI with a list of your existing blog topics and prompt it like this: “For my new blog post below help me develop an interlinking strategy to other content on my blog. I have listed some relevant existing content. Help me determine which posts to link to & what text I should use for those links.” You can also use AI to develop a backlink strategy. It can analyze your competitors’ backlinks or find new sources that could provide a valuable link to your site.
You can prompt it like this: “Give me a list of five authoritative websites that could potentially link to content on my blog about [topic].”Here is the rewritten text with factual and easy to understand vocabulary, using only English: Refreshing your blog content can help search engines keep finding & referencing your updated posts. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can transform your existing content into a new format, perspective, tone, or add fresh supporting details on the topic. If your views have changed or you’ve learned new information you can ask the AI to “Rewrite this blog post so that it [your goal for changes].” The AI can also repurpose your content into formats like social media posts, videos, images, emails, and more. AI can review reader comments & suggest additional content to cover questions or topics not yet addressed. One reason blogs become outdated is that the owner runs out of new ideas or experiences writer’s block.
If you’re stuck starting a post, you can ask the AI: “I’m writing about [topic] & I’m stuck on how to begin. Give me three ideas to hook the reader.” If you don’t like how a draft sounds, ask the AI: “Rewrite this section to improve the [tone, clarity, etc.].” AI can help when you feel burned out from creating fresh blog content. With simple prompts, an AI assistant can rewrite your drafts with a livelier voice or even craft entire posts from scratch based on your topic. Ask the AI to “rewrite this post in a more energetic style” or provide a basic outline for the AI to generate a complete draft.
You can also have the AI brainstorm new blog topics and angles when you need inspiration. To stay prepared, have the AI generate a reserve of evergreen posts you can publish anytime by prompting: “Give me a month’s worth of search-optimized blog posts.” Don’t let burnout halt your blog’s momentum – use AI to keep your content fresh and engaging for readers.Here is the text rewritten with factual and easy-to-understand vocabulary, using only English: Artificial intelligence can help you become a successful blogger in many ways. It can assist with creating content, organizing your work, and promoting your blog. This is useful because you need to stay on schedule and organized if you want your blog to become a popular resource in your area of interest. Start by asking AI to create a checklist for each blog post.
This checklist can include steps like researching and brainstorming ideas outlining, writing editing, optimizing for monetization, publishing, and promoting the post on your site. You can use this checklist yourself, give it to AI each time it works on your blog, or provide it to a virtual assistant if they are helping with this task. If you don’t have an editorial calendar ask AI to create a posting schedule. This schedule can include the date and time to publish each post, post titles and planned promotional efforts for each post. AI can put this in a spreadsheet if you prefer.
You can also ask AI to create a content plan that aligns your blog posts with your email newsletters and social media accounts on platforms like YouTube and Facebook. Have AI create a template you can use whenever you publish a new blog post so you can easily share it via email or social media. For example, you could ask AI to “Create a template I can use to notify my Facebook group when I have a new blog post.” You could have different templates for different types of posts such as product reviews, listicles or case studies. Ask AI to act as a blog editor.
While you may not trust it for fact-checking, it can help correct typos and grammar errors effectively. It can even create writing templates, such as a template with sections for a hook, introduction, subheadings, call to action & summary for your blog post type. From now on you don’t have to neglect your blog. AI is available anytime to help generate content ideas optimized for search engines and readers. You can start with tools like ChatGPT Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini.
You have endless opportunities, and through AI for blogging, you’ve eliminated most of the burden.
