AI Is Capable of Brainstorming Creative Content Ideas for Your Audience

One thing AI is fantastic for is coming up with content slants that you can use in your online business. Even if you plan to write (or record) the content yourself, you can still use artificial intelligence to give you some basic ideas and outlines of what readers will appreciate.

The first thing you need to do is tell AI what type of content you will be creating. For example, if you wanted to help you come up with an idea for an info product eBook, a lead magnet, a social media post, a pillar blog post, or even an email series, it helps to prompt it with these specifications beforehand.

For example, we can tell AI the following: “I want to create a 14-day email series for people who sign up to my list from my healthy air fryer cooking blog. Give me 25 ideas for series topics for that audience. Don’t outline the 14 days yet, just give me ideas for the series topics.”

If you don't specify that you don't want the outline, sometimes AI will go ahead and give you one idea with the complete outline instead. By being very specific, you'll get many different answers such as these:

• Recipe Makeovers: Transforming Your Favorites for the Air Fryer

• Air Fryer vs. Other Cooking Methods

• Exploring Different Cuisines with Your Air Fryer

• Low Carb and Keto-Friendly Air Fryer Cooking

• Exploring Unique Ingredients in Your Air Fryer.

So once you have an idea that you like provided by AI, you can have it brainstorm the ideas for your email series. We’ll prompt AI to do that like this: “I like the idea of Exploring Different Cuisines with Your Air Fryer. Come up with a 14-day email series based on that topic, where each day is a different type of cuisine.”

It gives you each day and a bullet point of what it will discuss. For example, day 2 is called Asian Delights. It says you will “Explore popular Asian dishes that can be prepared in an air fryer, such as crispy spring rolls, teriyaki chicken skewers, or vegetable tempura.”

So if you want to take it a step further, you can ask AI to complete an outline or give you information about what should be included in day 2. Prompt it like this: “Expand on what information I should put in day 2.”

It gives you ideas on what to put in the welcome portion of the email, how to introduce the Asian cuisine topic, which recipes and instructions you should share, and additional cooking tips that are specific to Asian cooking, like temperatures for infusing the seasonings into the foods.

It also goes into ideas on what ingredients to explore, such as soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, lemongrass, and Thai basil. It tells you to include a cultural insight such as something ceremonial or artistic about this cooking style, and tells you to end with a call to action and preview of upcoming email topics.

From there, many people will simply have AI write the email for them, checking to ensure that the facts are correct before sending it out to their subscribers. But you can do all of that yourself, if you simply want to use AI for research, creativity and strategizing purposes.
