Generate Blog Post Ideas CoSchedule’s Marketing Intelligence Assistant
Next, choose one of Mia’s pre-written prompts to generate ideas for your next blog post. It’s like having a brainstorming partner available 24/7!
We recommend starting with the template for “Keyword Suggestions” to get inspired. This will help you generate a list of keywords that you can use to build out your blog post strategy.
If you already have identified a keyword for your blog post, you can have Mia generate ideas for your blog post using that keyword, too.
Here are a few sample prompts you can ask her.
- What are some blog post ideas I can create to target the {insert keyword}? The target audience for my blog post is {target audience details}.
- Generate 10 blog post ideas for the keyword {insert keyword}.
Create An Outline
Once you have your idea, use Mia to create an outline for your blog post. This establishes a clear framework for your post and guarantees that you address all essential points.
Choose the “Blog Post Outline” template & customize it with your topic or keyword, audience details, and preferred tone.
In seconds, AI Project Assistant can help you outline your piece. Then, you can spend time identifying ways to improve your AI-generated outline with supporting research, adding content gaps, & more!
Write First-Draft Copy
Let’s dive into the fun part – creating your first draft! Use the “Generic Blog Post” template and let Mia get to work!
Give Mia some prompts to guide her in the direction of your piece. Copy the outline you worked on earlier and pop it into the ‘add more details’ section.
This way, Mia knows exactly what details to add to your draft.
Mia is designed to transform your outline into a meaningful blog post while allowing you plenty of room to add personal touches and finesse during your editing process.
Refine Your Content
Is your first draft content not quite right? You can chat with Mia to add additional direction or context to create a better version.
Consider asking things like:
- Make this content longer and more informative
- Write this blog post for {ideal audience}
- Remove all filler words
- Improve the flow of the content
- Expand on {key point}
Or use Mia’s built-in quick prompts to refine the copy.
Mia can adapt to different writing styles and tones, enhancing the quality of your content.
Make Final Edits
Click the ellipsis menu to seamlessly copy your favorite draft to your editing document or convert it to your chosen text editor.
Now, open your preferred text-editor and dive into your AI-crafted copy. This is your moment to make your post really shine.
Make sure it sounds like your brand. As the strategist on the piece, you’ll still need to edit the piece to:
- Keep your voice consistent
- Meet industry or company standards
- And integrate key links or resources to your final draft
