How ChatGPT Can Help With Content Creation Roadblocks

in

The world is rapidly changing everyday, so how we maneuver through it changes as well.  If you recall, earlier last year there was a HUGE buzz around AI and ChatGPT.  Since then, people began using AI to assist them with various tasks in the content creation world.  I want to start this by saying Iโ€™m not an advocate of using AI to stand in for your own voice and content.  Itโ€™s not cool to have AI create all of your content.  You should be the creator of your content and the brain behind it.  I think, however, there is no problem with incorporating it as a helpful tool.

Before diving into this, I will give a brief description of AI and ChatGPT in my own words. AI (Artificial Intelligence) is computer coded โ€œbotsโ€ that are used to complete processes that humans would also complete. Since they are computer/code based, they can usually complete processes faster than humans. A gift and a curse, right? ChatGPT is like an AI chatbot that is trained to answer questions, provide ideas and insight, and much more, and the answers are provided in a natural, conversational way. Iโ€™m sure when youโ€™ve entered a website, you have seen a box appear saying โ€œchat nowโ€. If you opened it and began chatting, you were likely chatting with a bot rather than a human at least for the initial set of questions it asked you. There are various bots out there, but ChatGPT is an easy tool to use (and itโ€™s free!). This is the only one Iโ€™ve explored so far, and I like what I see.

Here are five ways that you can use ChatGPT to assist with content creation roadblocks.

1. Top 10 lists

Generating top 10 lists is something that can be quite helpful for content creators. For example, if you have content pillars (which you should have!), you can simply ask something like โ€œWhat are the top 10 reasons people do not like to cook?โ€. From there, when you get the top 10 reasons, you can create content around it on how to handle those challenges. Youโ€™re basically looking for common challenges that your audience faces so you can provide the answers/solutions with your expertise through your content. This works for all niches, so take some time to think of lists you can ask for, then start creating new content around them!

2. Content calendar brainstorming

You may want to begin incorporating a monthly or weekly content planning session (you should also be doing this, hereโ€™s a post on why). If you struggle with creating content calendars, you can ask to have one created for you. You only need to provide topics you would like to post about and the frequency of posts for the timeframe you are planning. Hereโ€™s an example:

3. Social media bio (max character based)

It can be challenging to create a concise social media bio when you have a small character limit. You can ask to spruce up your bio in a set number of characters to sound polished within the character limit. This is just an example of how detailed your requests can get! You can ask, โ€œPlease spruce up this social media bio in 250 characters or lessโ€, then paste the bio that needs updating.

4. Spruce up written content

Sometimes when creating content, you may have a sentence in mind and it sounds better in your head than on paper. In these instances you can ask for a slight touch up on the sentence to sound more concise and clear. Of course you can always adjust what was provided by AI because again, you still want to sound like yourself. 

5. Help to tweak your weekly content creation schedule.

A weekly content creation schedule is something important to have so you can prioritize your blog/business along with other areas of your life. If a schedule is something you struggle with creating, you can ask for assistance from AI. I first heard of this concept from Kier Gaines, and my mind was blown! Hereโ€™s an example of what I asked and what was provided:

I think AI can be a helpful tool when it comes to planning content and brainstorming. I also think itโ€™s important to be cordial and use manners when asking questions- just as you would with a human!

Again I will stress, your voice is going to always be your voice, so use AI as a sidekick rather than the main character. Remember, you have a following because of who you are, so itโ€™s important to continue to stay true to yourself!  Do you use AI in any capacity in your blog or business? If so, share some ways you do in the comments below!

My Favorite Automated Cleaning Tools

in ,

As an avid automation user, I tend to try to find ways to automate everything, even in everyday life.  One of the biggest responses I get when I ask my audience what they would love to automate is chores.  Wouldnโ€™t it be awesome to have a robot like Rosey from The Jetsons to clean the house?  We may not be at that level yet as a society, but there are some cleaning tools that I use that either eliminates my involvement in the cleaning process or greatly decreases the effort to put in it.


1 / Electronic Vacuum Cleaner

This is the closest that we are to Rosey so far.  My daughter has named our robotic vacuum โ€œBuddyโ€, so heโ€™s definitely a member of the family!  I remember my mom having an iRobot back in the early 2000โ€™s and she LOVED it.  Fast forward to me as an adult with plenty of responsibilities and a decrease in available time.  Two years ago I added an electronic vacuum to my Christmas wish list and thankfully I got it!  I currently have a Roborock S6 Pure.  My favorite features are the schedule that you can create so your automated cleaning is consistent, and the no-go zones (like around my plants haha!).  I also love that it vacuums and sweeps, so it can change from carpet to hard floors seamlessly.  Vacuuming and sweeping can take some time to complete, so the time that is gained back from my Roborock has been wonderful!

2 / Air Purifier

This is such an important thing to add to your home to minimize impurities in the air and to clean the air as a whole.  Many air purifiers can detect the level of impurities and automatically turn on as needed.  Clear and clean air are important to your health, and make your home feel more comfortable.  Of course fresh air is a great way to clear the air also, but if you live in an area that is pollen heavy, opening windows and doors can blow the impurities and pollen right inside.  This is also where an air purifier is helpful because you can get fresh, purified air.  Many air purifiers also have a mobile app and can be linked to other smart devices, so controlling them can also be done with ease.

I have an Afloia, and love the smart air quality monitor as well as the large space that it can purify in a reasonable timeframe (spaces up to 2600 square feet per hour).  It also uses HEPA filtration and eliminates 99.97% of particles in the air down to 0.3 microns.


3 / Electronic Bathroom Scrubber

I recently started using a WIEMIE electric spin scrubber to clean the bathroom, and it has been such a huge help!  Okay, so yes, I still need to be involved in the cleaning process when using this, BUT I donโ€™t have to exert as much energy because the scrubbing is done by the motor.  I just have to move the brush back around the shower/tub, and the deep cleaning happens automatically.  Iโ€™m not a fan of cleaning, so anything to make the job easier and faster, Iโ€™m all for it!

I love that this scrubber is wireless, so itโ€™s totally potable.  It also comes with two scrubber heads- one for scrubbing and one for tile, glass and curved areas and the other for corners and tile gaps.  This makes it a versatile tool that can be used in many areas of the home.

Are there any automated home cleaning products or tools that you use?  I would love to know!  Please share in the comments.
