Use ChatGPT to Quickly Turn a Press Release into a Blog Post

ChatGPT doesn’t do a great job of creating unique, engaging blogs from scratch. It usually lacks the context to do so well. However, one common task for marketers is creating blog posts from product news and press releases. In this case, ChatGPT shines at creating a very good blog post in a short amount of time. Mainly because you typically have a way to enter the text complete with details. You may even have used ChatGPT or another AI tool to generate the press release draft.

Entering Your Text Into the ChatGPT Prompt

Start with the press release you put on the newswire. Next, enter it into ChatGPT, and use the following prompt Generate a blog post from the following press release [press release text]. Where [press release text] is the full text of your press release but probably with the FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE and FOR MORE INFO sections stripped out. Here is the prompt I used:

Editing the Blog Post

For efficiency, I suggest you cut and paste this into your blogging platform and start editing it there, especially if you have Grammarly and a versioning system like the one in WordPress. Follow the same steps for optimizing the blog you usually would.

• Make sure the style matches your brand voice

• Add appropriate links

• Follow Search Engine Optimization best practices (e.g., include keywords, optimize title, provide a good meta-description)

• Include images (You can follow the instructions for Using Generative AI to Create Blog Images here)

• Check for accuracy

My tests doing this have allowed me to write the blog post complete with links and images in about 15-20 minutes.
