There are two ways to earn more as a freelance writer: increase your writing speed or raise your rates. With artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT, it’s easier than ever to write faster without compromising on quality. Whether you realize it or not, you’ve probably already used AI tools. If you’ve used Grammarly to correct grammar mistakes or Otter to transcribe interviews, then you’ve relied on artificial intelligence to make your work easier. As writers, we’re in a great position to use ChatGPT effectively, given our curious nature and ability to ask detailed questions and analyze content.
Summary
If used ethically, ChatGPT can help you write faster. Below are five time-consuming processes that can be streamlined with the help of ChatGPT.
Before you start, make sure to check your clients’ AI policies. And be aware that any data you enter into the tool may be used to train it, so avoid sharing any confidential or sensitive information.
1. Structure
Using ChatGPT, you can cut the time it takes to create a structure in half. Write a prompt that includes an overview or some points about the article, and ChatGPT will provide suggested subheadings and also organize the article structure for you.
It’s helpful to be specific about the type of content you are writing and the tone of voice you are using. For example, if the story is about business capital for entrepreneurs, the outline will be different than if it’s about business capital for banking executives. The more insights you include in the ChatGPT request, the better the results will be.
2. Summaries
Another way to use ChatGPT is to summarize the content you’ve written. While ChatGPT can’t provide summaries of external articles unless you have the paid version, it can summarize any text you enter directly. To do this, copy and paste the content into the message bar and add the prompt “summarize the article above.” If you want it to be a certain length, include that in the request.
You can use the summary tool to ensure your content makes sense and your main points get across. This is especially useful if you’re dealing with a complex or lengthy subject. Think of it as a beta reader, but instead of bugging your family and friends to read your work, you can ask AI to do it for you.
3. Interview Questions
For a writer, crafting in-depth interview questions is essential, especially when you don’t have much time to devote to the topic. If you only have 15 minutes to speak with an executive, you want to make sure the time counts. ChatGPT is a great tool for coming up with interview questions and narrowing down the best ones to ask your sources.
4. Ideation
If you’re struggling to figure out what to write about or need to send in some pitches, ChatGPT could be a good starting point. As long as you have a general idea of the article’s topic or keywords, the AI writing assistant can help you come up with potential article ideas. You can also use ChatGPT to come up with story ideas with the same theme as one you’ve already written.
Though it’s not perfect, it’s a good starting point to help me think of new angles on tax audits. Of course, you’ll need to do your own research and make sure the client hasn’t covered the topic before.
5. Research (-ish)
One of the biggest criticisms of ChatGPT is that it can cite inaccurate sources or even make up information. These are called hallucinations. But that doesn’t mean you can’t use it to conduct research. Think of it as a research assistant rather than an expert. If you had an intern or assistant looking up data for you, you’d still do your own due diligence and make sure the information is accurate.
Normally, the AI tool doesn’t provide citations when answering a question, but you can specifically ask it to provide research sources on a topic. If you want it to provide links to websites, you’ll need to ask for specific URLs. Sometimes these URLs will be inaccurate, but they might point you in the right direction.
The data in some versions of ChatGPT is from before 2021, so it’s not the best source if you’re looking for the most up-to-date information. Also, keep in mind that ChatGPT can fabricate sources and citations. So, while it can be a great starting point, human fact-checking is a must.
Finding efficiency in how you work is valuable, both in terms of time and money. Tools like ChatGPT can help you free up more time in your day, which in turn helps you get more work done or enjoy more free time. Either way, you’re ahead.
