How to Write Blog Posts Using ChatGPT Canvas

3-min Read

Hope you’re having an amazing time with friends and family.

I wanted to take some time to wish you A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

From the bottom of my heart…

Thank YOU for reading The Juicer.

We’re currently at 8000 subscribers.

Can you believe 2024 we started at just 727 subs?

If you refer at least 1 person, I’d like to send you my AI starter kit (worth $15) for free.

Yep, you’ll receive it, forever.

The Juicer isn’t going to change in 2025.

We will always be free.

I’m just going to be adding more value to you in 2025.

Stick around for the same highly practical AI tutorials you’ll love. 🙂 

OpenAI silently released a new feature.

It’s called Canvas.

No, it’s not Canva, the design tool.

Canvas is essentially a text editor with ChatGPT built-in.

I recently discovered that it’s great for writing blog posts.

(With some human editing of course)

Small caveat: You need to be a paying user of ChatGPT to access this feature.

Let’s get started.

Also, I’m working to release a mini-course.

(Hint: It’s about automating LinkedIn marketing using AI)

It’s a course that you, my fellow hard-working innovative marketer, will love.

I’ll share more details next week.

1. Head to ChatGPT’s website

2. At the model dropdown button, click on GPT-4o with canvas

3. Give it a prompt to write a blog post

Next, you’ll want to give it a super powerful prompt like this:

4. Explore the Canvas editor

You’ll notice that the editor will popup and take the above look.

On the left, you will have your chat with ChatGPT.

On the right, you now get the Canvas editor, where you can edit text.

Why is this important?

It’s because SEO is changing and 100% AI-generated content may be seen as spam in the eyes of Google.

While it is a multi-faceted feat to rank well on Google, quality content that’s written in line with AI + human imput is recommended.

I use this method with another AI tool called Jasper to help me rank no.1 on many of my blog posts.

5. Make custom AI edits in the Canvas editor

We’ll now make some edits using the Canvas editor.

The first paragraph doesn’t really hook the audience to get them to scroll down.

Highlight the first paragraph by mousing over the top right of it.

After clicking on it, you’ll see a popup.

Then click on Ask ChatGPT.

You’ll be given a text box to prompt ChatGPT with the context of the highlighted portion.

Now prompt it to edit the paragraph, like so:

6. Watch ChatGPT do its magic

You’ll see ChatGPT get to work, rewriting the entire paragraph.

It changed the phrasing of words to address the target audience, so readers know that the content within the article is highly relevant to them.

Here’s the rewritten output on the right:

And ChatGPT’s response on the left.

As you can see, this feature great for working in collaboration with AI.

Great! Now we have a good introduction to work with.

Time to make it sound more human.

7. Edit the content to sound more human

It’s time for some manual edits.

I did the following:

• Improve readability: Broke up the text into 3 separate pargraphs

• Empathize with target audience: Addressed needs of data scientists, analyst, engineers, tech leaders

• Cover more grounds: Highlighted more points to be covered in the article to pique reader interest.

8. Copy and paste into your content management system

To copy, just click on the copy button at the top right corner, next to your avatar.

Bonus: Explore other features

Canvas also features a few other quick actions in its toolkit.

You can access them at the bottom right corner.

Click on this bubble at the bottom:

You can quickly adjust the emojis, final polishes, length, reading level, and suggest edits.

Have fun with this neat tool!

That’s all for this week.

Catch you soon.
