Using ChatGPT for essay writing offers numerous benefits. It can help overcome writer’s block, generate ideas, and provide a structured approach to essay writing. Additionally, ChatGPT can save time and effort by quickly producing drafts and helping with research.

Generating Ideas

The first step is to get ChatGPT to generate some ideas for us. This not only provides a foundation for your essay but also initiates the learning process for ChatGPT, allowing it to better understand your needs and preferences.

Prompt: Write [number] ideas for [essay topic].

For example, if you’re writing about importance of discipline in student life, you might ask ChatGPT to generate ideas on this subject.

Outlining Your Essay

Next, it’s time to outline your essay. ChatGPT can assist you in this process by creating a structured outline based on the ideas it generated earlier. Specify the number of the idea you want to expand upon, and ChatGPT will generate an outline for that particular point.

Prompt: Write an essay outline for point [number] with headings.

Writing the Content

With your outline in hand, it’s time to flesh out your essay. Command ChatGPT to write paragraphs for each heading in your outline. By providing clear instructions, you ensure that ChatGPT delivers content tailored to your needs.

Prompt: Write a paragraph for each point and include headings to break it up into sections.

For the commands, we simply tell ChatGPT what we need. The clearer we are, the better the results. If we want headings, we ask for them. If we want more details or paragraphs, we must specify. Otherwise, it may not give us what we want.

Generating the Essay

At this point, we can just ask ChatGPT: “Turn this into an essay“.

It will take all the points we discussed earlier and create a more readable and formatted essay.

Pro tip

If you have a website or blog, you know Google likes heading and paragraph tags for SEO. Instead of adding these tags manually, ChatGPT can do it for you. Just say “convert this text into HTML and add heading tags” and it does it.
