So thought I'd catch-up with him and here is what transpired ...

I prompted the ChatGPT to write as an expert and explain how a content creator can use chat.openai.com usefully to create expert content.

This is what it came back with…

As a content creator, you can use OpenAI's chat interface to generate high-quality text and generate new ideas. Here are a few tips to make the most out of OpenAI's platform:

Next, I prompted it to …

Write me a 600 word summary as how to “clearly define what you want to accomplish with your content, such as educating your audience or providing a new perspective on a topic”.

It responded with the following…

Defining the goals and objectives of your content is a crucial step in creating effective and engaging content. Whether you want to educate your audience or provide a new perspective on a topic, having a clear understanding of what you want to accomplish can help guide the content creation process and ensure that your content meets the needs of your target audience.

One important aspect of defining your content goals is to understand your target audience. Consider who your target audience is, what their interests and needs are, and what motivates them to engage with your content. This information can help you identify the most important topics to cover and the best way to present the information to your target audience.

Once you have a clear understanding of your target audience, it's time to define your goals for the content. This can include educating your audience on a particular topic, providing a new perspective or unique angle on a topic, building brand awareness, or generating leads. Whatever your goals may be, it's important to be specific and realistic about what you hope to achieve.

Next, consider the format of your content. Will it be a blog post, video, podcast, or some other format? The format you choose can have a significant impact on how effectively you are able to achieve your content goals. For example, if your goal is to educate your audience, a video may be the best format, as it allows you to provide a visual representation of the information and engage your audience in a more interactive way.

Once you have defined your content goals and format, it's important to create a clear outline or plan for the content. This can help ensure that your content is well-organized and easy to follow. Consider using subheadings and bullet points to break up the content into smaller, more manageable chunks. This makes it easier for your target audience to absorb the information and stay engaged with the content.

When it comes to creating the content itself, it's important to focus on quality over quantity. Your target audience is looking for information that is useful, accurate, and well-presented. Make sure to fact-check any information you include in the content and present it in a clear and concise way. Use visuals and graphics to help illustrate key points and include quotes or statistics to support your arguments.

Finally, be sure to promote your content effectively to reach your target audience. Share it on social media, include links in your email signature, and reach out to influencers or thought leaders in your industry to help spread the word. Additionally, consider using paid advertising to reach a wider audience and drive more traffic to your content.

In conclusion, defining the goals and objectives of your content is a crucial step in creating effective and engaging content that meets the needs of your target audience. By understanding your target audience, defining your goals, selecting the right format, creating a clear outline, focusing on quality, and promoting your content effectively, you can create content that achieves your goals and resonates with your target audience.

Lastly, I took what it had written and tweaked the generated text with my own words …

1. Understand who your target audience is.

What are their interests and needs and what in your article will draw them in to engage with your content. By understanding your audience can assist you to identify what topics to cover and the best way to present the information.

2. Define Your Goals.

Defining the goals and objectives of your content is a crucial step in creating effective and engaging content. Whether you want to inform your audience, provide a fresh perspective or a unique angle on a subject matter, or provide a product or service review. Perhaps you want to raise brand awareness or generate leads. Whatever your objectives are, it is critical to be specific and realistic about what you hope to accomplish, as well as to ensure that your content meets the needs of your target audience.

3. What will the format of your content be?

Maybe you want to write a blog post, making a video of you using the product, chatting on a podcast to explain a service, or using some other format? Your layout can have a substantial impact on how effective your content goals will be. For example, if your goal is to educate, a visual video may be the best format, as it allows you to present your information in an interactive and authentic way.

4. Create a clear outline for the content.

It is essential that your content is well-organized and easy to follow, so consider using subheadings and/or bullet points to divide the content into smaller, more manageable chunks. Nobody wants to be confused about what you're saying or to have a vague picture of what you're trying to say. A "clean and clear" outline will help your target audience absorb information and stay engaged with the content.

5. When it comes to content focus on quality over quantity.

People lead hectic lives and want information that is useful, accurate, and well-presented without having to do the research. So, double-check any information you include in the content and present it in a clear, concise, and relateable manner. Using visuals and graphics to illustrate key points can help visual learners and including quotes and statistics to support your arguments can help intellectuals.

6. Keep in mind that the reason you took the time to create your content is to generate income, so make sure to effectively promote it to reach your target audience.

Remember that you are competing with hundreds, if not thousands, of other content creators who are all vying for a piece of the pie. So, if you post on Social media, your marketing must be memorable. Always include affiliate links and even reach out to and network with other content creators in your industry or niche to help spread the word. There are ways to be successful with free advertising, but paid advertising can help you reach a larger audience and drive more traffic to your content.

Conclusion.
