Use AI to write better long-form content

ChatGPT isn’t great at writing long content in one go.

It either loses focus, starts repeating itself, or delivers something that sounds like a bad Wikipedia entry.

The best way to fix this is to break it down.

Start with an outline. Then write one section at a time.

Step 1 – Create your outline

Start a new chat and drop in your topic or rough notes.

Use this prompt:

You are a content strategist. Based on the topic below, create a clear outline for a long-form article.

Include section headings and 1–2 bullet points per section.

Topic:
[INSERT TOPIC OR NOTES]

Step 2 – Write each section

Once you’re happy with the outline, write each section one at a time using this prompt:

Write the [SECTION TITLE] section of a long-form article.
Use a clear, helpful, and conversational tone. Expand on these points:
– [INSERT BULLETS]

Aim for 2–4 paragraphs.

Repeat this until the piece is done.

Better structure. Better flow. Better content.

Happy prompting!
