ChatGPT is the perfect second brain for creators.
Here's how you can use it to research like a pro:
(with a sample blog written by GPT)
Research is the most crucial part of content creation.
Your content lacks substance & it can never be evergreen if it isn't adequately researched.
But doing in-depth research comes with its fair share of troubles.
Some factors that make research too hard for lazy creators:
• Not knowing where to start
Most creators don't know what their first source should be
They do not know where to start their research
When they try, they feel there is a:
• Lack of authentic sources
They do surface-level searches on Google & YouTube but it doesn't help.
That's because the 3rd biggest problem while researching is
• Google
Google doesn't care about authenticity very much.
It doesn't show us credible sources of information.
Instead, it fills our search with useless content full of keywords.
This makes researching even harder.
ChatGPT is a one-stop solution to all these problems.
In this thread, you'll learn how to make chatGPT research content for you.
But let's ask GPT first, Can it do content research for us?
Here's the response:
From this response, we can understand that ChatGPT doesn't recommend we use it as a reference source.
So, how do we research content with GPT?
Let's start with only "Cigarettes" & ask GPT for content ideas around the topic.
Here's the response:
I think 5/10 of these ideas are great.
But since I do not have much idea about cigarettes, let's start broadly.
Pretty basic stuff but I think the prompt I asked was asking for this response only.
Let's move on and ask some questions that would make the blog interesting.
I want the blog post to cover the past, present, and future of this industry while also using stats.
So this response was very useful.
I think the past section of our blog is sorted (for now)
But I have another question that would make the blog interesting:
Since cigarettes have too many side effects & no obvious benefit at all, why don't governments ban them?
Money & fear of protest by potential addicts can be the reasons why governments don't ban them.
But I want to know more about their political significance.
So, I asked another question.
Since I just want a surface-level article, this info is enough for me.
I really don't want GPT to dig into some scandals & get banned forever.
Let's move on to the future part of our blog.
Now we need some stats about the tobacco industry.
And...
we've acquired this top-secret info
Since we are at it, let's ask a few random questions that would make the blog interesting.
(Adding 2 here)
I think this is enough information to write a sample blog with.
I asked GPT to summarize all this in 500 words & this is the response I received:
( I am bad at naming things so I asked GPT to do it and it )
docs.google.com
These are the results that I could bring with GPT.
I used these prompts (questions) because I wanted to "explain" instead of making it write.
With better prompts, you'll be able to extract much more information.

But wait!
If you are a writer,
Do you think our work is done here?
Do you think this is an article you'd want your clients to have on their website?
Do you think this is an article that you'd want to attach to your portfolio?
My answer is NO.
I don't think our work ends here.
Contrary to this, I think our work actually starts here.
ChatGPT does an incredible job of putting together the recipe for a great content piece.
I think the flames & the ingredients are still in our control.
GPT helps us overcome all 3 troubles of researching
It gives us:
• A perfect outline to start with
• Provides us with authentic sources (we just need to google them specifically)
• Eliminates the worse of Google
We can now save hours of research & focus on adding creativty.
Summing everything up
To use GPT to research content:
• Start broad
• Process information
• Ask creative questions
• Learn how to ask prompts
& To write amazing content with the help of GPT:
Let your creativity take over GPT's research.
This is it for this thread.
AI sure is scary but we'll have to learn how to use it for our benefit.
