How I’m Happily Using AI For Content Creation KDS: 140 The Kim Doyal Show

I Think It’s Safe To Say Most Content Creators Are Using AI For Content Creation These Days.But I thought I’d go deeper, specifically, with how I’m using it.
There are a few different ‘camps’ when it comes to AI and some of them are totally over my head.
In other words, I’m not sure that I really care how it works, what LLMs are doing, which companies have completed a new round of billions of dollars invested, or whether Nvidia or AMD is producing more chips.
All I care about is how I can use it in my business to do one of two things (I’ll go deeper with each of these below):
Get clarity and createCut down the time it takes to complete things
I haven’t gotten into much in terms of automations or having AI do tasks I don’t want to do, but that’s mainly because I don’t have a significant need for it right now.
My primary focus with AI right now is on using it for content creation.
I write all of my podcasts, blog posts, and emails. In other words, none of this is generated by AI (probably obvious, but you know what they say about assuming).
I’ve created one post with the help of AI (you can read that here) because I wanted to test creating an outline, seeing what the output was, and then adjusting from there. It was a good experience and process, and I’ll use it again for a couple of more in-depth tutorial posts I’m working on.
For example:
I’m in the process of moving from ConvertKit to beehiiv (at the time of writing this post).
As beehiiv continues to grow, I know a lot more people will be making this move, and I think it’s a great way to get traffic to the site, attract new subscribers (people making this move are definitely my target market), and make some affiliate commissions along the way.
Here’s the prompt I used to start this post:
Good afternoon! I’d love your help writing an epic blog post (that I’ll create a video for as well) on the process of moving an email list, subscribers, newsletter, and automations from ConvertKit to beehiiv. Is this something you can help me with? I want this to be super clear, easy to understand and highly optimized for SEO. I’ll convert the blog post into a PDF that people can download as well. What do you need from me to get started?
By the way, that’s one of my favorite ways to start a conversation with ChatGPT (yes, I call them conversations).
I give simple context about what I want to accomplish, then ask what it needs from me to get started to accomplish what I’ve asked for.
I don’t want to get into the weeds with detailed prompts (I think I may start doing some video on this), but I want to give you an example of how I’m using it) – but the initial question of “what do you need from me” will help you get the best result possible.
OK, let’s look at the first of the two bullets I mentioned first.
Using AI For Content Creation To Gain Clarity And CreateFirst, I treat ChatGPT (or Chatty as I call her) as more of a partner than a tool, which is why I write in a conversational manner as opposed to simply imputing prompts.
