24+ Best ChatGPT Prompts for Bloggers: Free Templates

Looking for the best ChatGPT prompts for bloggers? Well, you’ve come to the right place. ChatGPT is a fantastic tool for blogging, but it doesn’t have any built-in templates to produce reliably great ideas, briefs, or blog posts.

You can easily get ChatGPT to produce something that looks like a blog post, but the content and style probably won’t be up to your standards. Basic prompts = basic outputs.

A strong grasp of prompt engineering is essential if you want to produce high-quality blog content… so I’ve compiled all of my best ChatGPT blogging prompts for you below, to help out with different aspects of blogging. Whether you’re looking for fresh, on-trend ideas or you need to nail the conclusion and call-to-action for your post, or even write an entire blog post, there’s a prompt here for you.

Note: Even with great prompts, you may find it’s tricky to get exactly what you want from ChatGPT. You’ll get better results from AI tools tailored to bloggers, like RightBlogger, that have pre-built tools to help you tackle specific blogging tasks.

How Can ChatGPT Help Bloggers?

ChatGPT can help you in all kinds of ways… but with these prompts, we’ll focus on the ones that I find are most impactful for bloggers. They tackle issues like:

Coming Up With Research-Backed Ideas

When you want to publish a new blog post every week (or perhaps several times a week), it can be really tough to come up with enough ideas.

ChatGPT is fantastic for brainstorming. You can generate whole lists of ideas in seconds… and even if some of the ideas aren’t quite on-target for your blog, you’ll be able to pick the ones that suit you. We’ve got a ton of prompts on different approaches to idea generation below.

Helping You Craft Tricky Parts of Your Post

A lot of bloggers I know often get stuck on specific parts of their post: the introduction and the conclusion. It can be really hard to write an introduction that feels good enough, especially when you’re staring at a blank page. ChatGPT can tackle this for you, getting you off to a quicker start—and giving you something to edit & massage into your introduction.

Conclusions are also tricky. Some bloggers leave them off entirely, or just add a vague sentence to round off their post. You want a strong conclusion and CTA (call to action)… and ChatGPT can help here too.

Tackling Common SEO Tasks

SEO (search engine optimization) is essential if you want your blog to get more than a tiny trickle of Google traffic. But SEO can be both daunting and boring for many bloggers.

ChatGPT can easily carry out simple SEO tasks like writing meta titles and descriptions, incorporating specific keywords into content, coming up with groups of keywords, and more.

Tip: RightBlogger has a suite of time-saving SEO tools like the keyword research tool, the keyword cluster tool, the backlink checker, the content gap analysis tool, and more.

Rewriting or Repurposing Content

As a blogger, you’ll often want to rewrite or repurpose content. Perhaps you have a lot of old blog posts in your archive that need some love, or you want to use the great content on your blog to create YouTube videos.

ChatGPT can rework content for you, by adding features like subheadings, bullet points, and examples to make it more reader-friendly. It can also repurpose content for different mediums, like turning key points from a blog post into a series of tweets.

Can ChatGPT Write Full Blog Posts?

Yes… but there’s a (pretty big) catch.

ChatGPT can write a whole blog post. And you can grab my copy & paste prompt for that from this article right here. But you’re going to have to put in a lot of time on prompting, re-prompting, and editing things manually in order to get a piece of content you’d be proud to publish on your blog.

If you want to churn out bottom-of-the-barrel content fast, without caring about quality, then you can do that quite easily with ChatGPT. But I’m thinking if you’re here right now, your standards are a lot higher than that.

Bottom line: I don’t recommend using ChatGPT to generate whole blog posts. Instead, use it for a helping hand with specific tasks.

If you do want to write a whole blog post (with all the scope you need to refine the outline, add up-to-date info, images, and more) then I’d recommend using our RightBlogger Article Writer tool instead. It’s one of our flagship tools that Andy and I have poured a lot of love into making it as useful as possible—plus you can make a 100% free account to try all our tools today.

24+ Best ChatGPT Prompts for Bloggers

Let’s dig into my list of the essential ChatGPT prompts for bloggers and see how they can solve your blogging challenges.

ChatGPT Prompts for Blogging Ideas

Your blog is only ever going to be as good as your ideas. Without a strong idea behind it, your post could be beautifully written … but still fail to get traction.

That’s why we’re starting with prompts designed to help ChatGPT generate brilliant blogging ideas. With these in your toolkit, you’ll never run out of topics your audience will love.

1. Trending Topics

ChatGPT can now access the web, so it’s able to come up with lists of trending topics in any industry or niche, based on recent information.

Here’s a ChatGPT blogging prompt you can use to (accurately) identify trending topics:

Here’s that prompt in action, for the “personal finance” niche:

Tip: Depending on your industry/niche and how fast-moving trends are within in, ChatGPT may draw on sources from as much as a year ago. These can still give you useful insights and ideas to write about.

2. Audience-Centric Ideas

You want your posts to be super relevant to your target audience … and that’s what this prompt is designed for. As well as giving you a list of topics, it explains why those topics are so relevant to your audience.

3. Keyword Research

Although having a list of trending topics or ideas that relate to key interests and challenges is a great start, you also want to make sure that people are actually searching for those topics.

This is where careful keyword research is vital. Keyword research lets you figure out whether a particular topic is being searched for on Google (and other search engines) … crucial if you want to get significant traffic to your site.

I’ll be honest with you here. ChatGPT isn’t the best tool for keyword research. There are lots of other more focused tools that can help you identify the perfect keywords that you have a good shot of ranking for … like our very own Keyword Research Tool.

But if you do want to use ChatGPT for keyword research, rather than a purpose-built tool, then use my carefully crafted prompt that’s designed to give you accurate and helpful information (without being overwhelming).

Let’s take a look at that ChatGPT prompt in action:

If you haven’t given it a try yet, make sure you check out our powerful Keyword Research Tool. I think you’ll love it!

4. Seasonal Content Ideas

Looking for some season-specific or holiday-related topics to prompt people to engage or buy? Using the seasons can help keep your blog relevant, encourage action, and connect with your existing audience.

Here’s that blogging prompt in action:

ChatGPT Prompts for Blog Post Introductions

Your introduction needs to hook readers and keep them reading. Your post could be packed with insightful tips … but if your introduction is long-winded and boring, readers will give up long before they get to the good stuff.

These ChatGPT prompts for blog post intros are designed to grab readers right from the start, by using proven copywriting frameworks.

5. Intro Using AIDA Framework

This prompt helps create a compelling and structured introduction designed to:

• Grabs the reader’s attention
• Sparks their interest
• Builds desire
• Prompts them to take action

Here’s an example of an introduction created using this ChatGPT prompt. Note that (as with all these intro prompts) you’ll need to remove the bold word at the start of each paragraph when you edit the introduction.

6. Intro Using PAS Framework

This prompt helps you create introductions that engage readers by clearly identifying a problem they face, agitating it to emphasize the pain or inconvenience it causes, and then presenting a solution.

It’s a great way to hook the reader by addressing their immediate concerns and promising a solution, making them more likely to continue reading.

Here’s an example of this ChatGPT prompt for blogging, in action:

7. Intro Using Before-After-Bridge Framework

This ChatGPT prompt creates a compelling introduction by illustrating the transformation your readers can expect.

It shows the reader the situation before the solution, the improved state after implementing the solution, and then bridges the two with actionable steps. This is a great way to engage readers by clearly demonstrating the value and impact of the solution you’re offering.

Here’s how that looks in practice:

8. Intro Using 4Ps Framework

This prompt helps create a vivid and persuasive opening by painting a compelling picture for the reader, making a strong promise about the benefits of the content, proving the value with evidence or testimonials, and pushing the reader towards taking action.

This structured approach ensures the introduction is engaging and convincing, effectively capturing the reader’s interest.

Here’s what to expect with this ChatGPT intro prompt:

9. Intro Using Storytelling Approach

If you prefer to use a narrative approach and go the storytelling way, this prompt creates an engaging introduction focused around a personal anecdote.

Storytelling is a powerful way to draw the audience in from the beginning. It makes the content more relatable and memorable.

Here’s an example of this more narrative style of introduction using our ChatGPT prompt:

ChatGPT Prompts for Blog Post Conclusions

Have you ever got to the end of the post and just… stopped?

It’s easy to forget about conclusions, or to write a couple of generic sentences like What do you think? Leave a comment below.

But this is a huge missed opportunity. You want your blog post conclusion to leave readers with a great overall impression and you want to prompt them to do something after reading your post.

RightBlogger’s built-in Post Conclusion tool is designed to craft powerful conclusions (you can specify keywords, your target audience, the point of view you want to write from, and more).

But ChatGPT can also help here … with the right prompts. Let’s take a look at some great prompts for crafting strong conclusions.

Tip: Before using the conclusion prompts, you’ll need to give ChatGPT the article you’re working on. You can paste it into the chat with a prompt like “Here is an article. Don’t do anything with it, I will prompt you further.“

10. Conclusion With Summary and CTA

Ending an article with key takeaways from the blog post makes it easy for the reader to remember what they’ve learned, before inviting them to take a specific action.

Here’s the conclusion that ChatGPT came up with when given our recent post How to Use Quizzes and AI to Grow Your Audience With Interact, with the published conclusion left off:

11. Conclusion with Future Outlook

This ChatGPT prompt encourages a forward-thinking mindset, and could be a great way to keep readers coming back to your blog for more information in the future.

Here’s how it looks in action, for our article on choosing a WordPress theme:

12. Conclusion to Provide Motivation

A motivating message and a clear call to action make readers more likely to apply what they’ve learned from reading the blog post, leading to real-world impact and engagement.

Readers who see real progress toward their goals, as a result of reading your content, will stick around and could become loyal fans for years to come.

In this example, we got ChatGPT to draft an article on 10 tips for managing your time as a solopreneur and it came up with this motivating conclusion:

ChatGPT Prompts for Optimizing Content

Optimizing your posts for search engines can be tough … and expensive! Tools like Surfer, Clearscope, and MarketMuse don’t come cheap.

ChatGPT can be a good basic alternative when you want to optimize your posts to get them ranking well in search engines.

Tip: If you want more comprehensive SEO tools (without the hefty price tag of some software out there!) then try RightBlogger. We have a suite of 75+ tools, and 10 of those are currently specifically geared to SEO.

The prompts below are designed to help improve your on-page SEO while also making your content even more useful and engaging for readers.

13. Incorporating Keywords

This prompt helps you optimize your content with relevant keywords for better search rankings (you’ll need to supply the keyword list). If I’m being honest though, doing this kind of work inside ChatGPT can be a bit of a pain—that’s in-part, why we built RightBlogger.

Having ChatGPT put the keywords in bold means you can easily check whether they’re used correctly, and whether they read well in context.

Here’s the prompt in action, for an article about building an emergency fund:

14. Writing a Meta Title and Meta Description

A meta title, or SEO title, is the title of your post as it appears in Google. (This title is also used as the label on the browser tab.) Your meta title doesn’t have to be the same as the title (H1) on the page itself.

Here’s what a meta title looks like:

Meta titles need to use your primary keyword and grab readers’ attention, without running over 70 characters (some experts recommend sticking to 60 characters), so they can display in full in Google.

Your post’s meta description is the brief summary that shows up in a web search. Again, it should use your primary keyword and hook the reader.

Here’s what a meta description looks like:

If you’ve got a lot of older posts that you haven’t optimized, creating meta titles and meta descriptions can be a daunting task … and that’s where ChatGPT can help.

Here’s an example, for our post on the best AI marketing tools:

15. Readability Enhancement

The readability of your content is both a direct and indirect factor for SEO. Improving readability is great for your search engine rankings and your audience.

Enhance the readability of the above article to make it more accessible and engaging for a general audience. Simplify complex terms, break down long sentences, and ensure the content flows smoothly. Aim for an 8th grade reading level.

Tip: You can switch “the above article” for a link to a published article, if you’re optimizing already-published content.

Here’s how this ChatGPT prompt can enhance and improve your content:

16. Formatting Improvements

Relevant subheadings can help improve your SEO, and adding images and bullet points gives more white space within your articles, making them easier to read.

This reduces the risk of “pogo-sticking” when readers glance at your article and immediately head back to Google for something that looks more readable.

Here’s how this prompt can reformat an article:

Tip: ChatGPT can get a bit carried away with bullet points, so we’ve been careful in our prompt to instruct it to keep most of the article in paragraphs. If you want a full, formatted article with subheadings and bullet points as relevant, and with images done for you, the RightBlogger Article Tool will give you great results.

17. Content Length Adjustment

Is your blog post too short or too long? Use one of these prompts to help adjust it … or try RightBlogger’s Shorten and Expand tools.

Shortening a Blog Post

Expanding a Blog Post

What if your article is too short? It’s important not to pad it out with “filler” or “fluff” content that doesn’t really add any value. Instead, ask ChatGPT for specific examples and additional ideas.

Here’s an example of an article being expanded by ChatGPT:

18. Content Gaps

We have a built-in Content Gap tool in RightBlogger to give you highly specific, actionable advice to improve a specific post on your blog … but if you’re using ChatGPT, you can still get a content gap analysis.

That prompt should give you lots of details, though you may need to double-check the accuracy of these.

ChatGPT Prompts for Sharing Your Blog Post on Social Media

You don’t just want to hit “publish” and hope for the best. You need to proactively promote your content on your social media channels to help drive traffic.

In RightBlogger, we have a whole range of fantastic social media tools … but if you’re using ChatGPT, these prompts should get decent results.

19. X/Twitter Post

This prompt gives you several tweets to choose from (you can ask ChatGPT for more, if you want!) so that you can pick whichever one feels like the best fit for you and your audience.

Here are some tweets ChatGPT came up with for my article How to Write a Bio About Yourself:

20. Facebook Post

This prompt is designed to get relevant Facebook posts that connect with your audience (essential when the Facebook algorithm may not be showing your posts organically to all that many of your followers). It’s geared toward creating interest and getting them to click to read the whole article.

Here’s an example of that prompt in action:

21. LinkedIn Update

The audience on LinkedIn tends to be more professional and work-focused than the audience on other social networks. This prompt makes sure your LinkedIn post is well-geared to the people who’ll be reading it. It’s designed to get people to click through, rather than to purely gather responses on LinkedIn.

Here’s an example:

22. Instagram Caption

This prompt is designed to get you a great description for a visual social media platform like Instagram. You can also use it for Pinterest descriptions (simply replace “Instagram caption” with “Pinterest pin description”).

Here’s the prompt in action:

23. Repurposing Content from Your Post

What if you want to create standalone content based on your post, rather than content that’s purely geared up to promoting your post?

This is an all-purpose prompt you can use to transform your blog post into social media content.

Here’s how that could look for Twitter posts:

24. Engagement Questions

Do you find that your attempts to engage with your audience on social media are met with crickets? Here’s a prompt that helps you craft questions to get people responding to you on your social platform of choice.

Asking questions can also give you hugely valuable insights into your audience: what they know, what they don’t know, what they’re struggling with, what their goals and dreams are, and much more.

Here’s what ChatGPT came up with for a topic about blogging for beginners:

Generating Replies to Comments

Engaging with your audience is crucial to maintaining a vibrant and interactive blog. Here are two prompts designed to help you handle both negative and positive feedback professionally and warmly:

25. Polite Replies to Negative Comments

Negative feedback can be challenging, but it’s also an opportunity to demonstrate your professionalism and empathy. Use this prompt to create responses that address concerns, offer solutions, and maintain a friendly tone:

26. Warm Replies to Positive Comments

Positive comments are a chance to build stronger relationships with your readers. This prompt helps you to show appreciation and encourage ongoing interaction:

By using these prompts, you can effectively manage comments on your blog, creating a positive and engaging community.

How to Craft Your Own ChatGPT Prompts for Bloggers

Do you need a prompt for something different? Or maybe you want to tweak or change one of the prompts above to get even more spot-on results for your blog.

We’ve got a full guide to prompt engineering to help, but here are my top tips for better prompts:

• Get really clear about what you want. Tell ChatGPT exactly what you’d like. If you need a bullet-point list, say so! If you want a laidback, casual tone, specify that. The more detailed your prompt is, the better your results are likely to be.
• Use iterative prompting. Didn’t get quite what you expected the first time around? Ask ChatGPT to refine its output with a prompt like “Rewrite that, using a more casual tone and giving step by step instructions.“
• Ask for one thing at a time. ChatGPT is not going to excel at producing an entire blog post from scratch. Start by getting it to write an outline, then ask for specific sections of the outline. That way, you can keep improving and tweaking as you go along.

It’s worth remembering that ChatGPT is an all-round generative AI and it isn’t designed for bloggers. You might well find it easier (and less frustrating!) to use a tool like RightBlogger that’s geared specifically for the needs of bloggers.
