Update Your Content The Easy Way With AI

Should you include a plan to update your content periodically in your content planning?  

Here’s why you want to do this…Think of your content as a house, a structure built with care and attention.

Over time, styles change, and structures need updates. Similarly, your content requires periodic renovations to stay fresh and engaging.

According to Orbit Media, content creators and bloggers who update their older content are three times more likely to report “strong results” in content marketing, underscoring the importance of this practice.

Just as adding a new room can enhance a house’s functionality, expanding your content can enrich its value.

Updating your older content is not just about keeping them current; it’s about deepening their impact. It’s a strategy that’s both efficient and effective, as much of the groundwork is already laid out.

I used to be guilty of never updating my content and if you’re feeling like you shouldn’t update your content because you think it is a waste of time or takes too long…I’m happy to report that now with the ChatGPT this task can you take a few minutes and have a long-lasting and positive effect on your organic traffic.

Let’s make it easy to update your content so that you have something new to share with your audience with minimal effort.

And now with ChatGPT this task can take you about 10 minutes…

So how do you decide what content to update?

Here’s How to Use ChatGPT to  Update Your Content FAST!

1. Expanding the Blueprint (Expand Existing Sections):

Just as adding a new room can enhance a house’s functionality, expanding your content can enrich its value. Updating old posts is not just about keeping them current; it’s about deepening their impact. It’s a strategy that’s both efficient and effective, as much of the groundwork is already laid out.

How ChatGPT Helps: Use ChatGPT to brainstorm additional topics or subtopics that can enrich your existing content. For example, if you have a post on “Mindfulness Techniques,” ask ChatGPT for the latest trends or research in mindfulness to add depth to your article.

That’s how I started remodeling this blog post.  I asked ChatGPT to take this post and do the following: 

I gave it the old post and asked ChatGPT to come up with give me actionable items to update this blog post.

It came up with a list of actionable items and then I asked it to Great now rewrite this post using the suggestions you have given and use this content metaphor to include storytelling to make it more interesting: remodeling a house is a good content metaphor to include because it explains why you want to update things just like updating your content.

What I got back was a revitalized post and one that was far more interesting than the old one

…but I wasn’t done yet.

Just as you’d replace outdated fixtures in a house, update any old examples or statistics in your content. This keeps your information relevant and trustworthy.

When creating content you need to persuade your readers that your solution is sound and one of the best ways to do this is to add statistics social proof to your content.

So I asked ChatGPT to do the following: 

Now research and find  statistics that support why you should update your content so I can convince the reader why this is necessary and cite where you got the statistics so I can check them

This helped me to include statistics in this article at the beginning to strengthen my argument and persuade readers that updating your content is a good idea and works.

When it comes to giving your blog a makeover, the inclusion of multimedia elements – images, infographics, and videos – is akin to adding aesthetic touches to a well-designed home. Just as art pieces and decorative accents can transform the ambiance of a room, multimedia can significantly elevate the appeal and effectiveness of your blog content. Let’s delve into why and how to do this:

1. Images: A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Images can capture attention, break up long stretches of text, and help illustrate complex ideas in a simple, visually appealing manner. They can evoke emotions and create a connection with your audience.

Examples:

#1: A life coach could include images that depict transformation or personal growth, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.

#2: A course creator might use images to give a sneak peek into their course material or showcase happy students.

Videos: Engaging and Personal

 Videos can be incredibly engaging and are an excellent way to add a personal touch. They allow you to communicate more directly with your audience, making your content more relatable and memorable.

Examples:

#1: A healing practitioner might include a video demonstration of a relaxation technique.

#2: A business coach could share a short motivational talk or a success story of a client.

How ChatGPT Helps: ChatGPT can assist in generating ideas for multimedia additions.

For a post on “Healing Therapies,” it could images techniques or video content ideas that demonstrate these methods in action.

I used ChatGPT to come up with a video outline based on this rewritten post content and then asked it to come up with a list of shorts/reels topics for even more content to promote this post on social media.

TIME:  3 minutes

How to get started:

#1: Go back to your top pieces of content and make a list using your Google Analytics

#2: Use ChatGPT to help you rewrite your post

#4: Ask ChatGPT to write a script based on your new content

#5: Then ask it to come up with a list of shorts and reels topics to get more eyeballs on your content out on social media.

Here’s a bonus nugget:

Have ChatGPT create a content upgrade FAST!  Ask it to take your content and turn it into an actionable checklist.

I did this step using the updated ocntent in this post to take my old Freebie called 9 ways to update your content and breathe new life into it FAST.
