3 min readOct 16, 2024

Here's how.

If you’ve been publishing online for some time, you have an unfair disadvantages at your disposal.

And one of them is to use ChatGPT to repurpose your existing content. Which is an effective way for you to learn new things while increasing output. Which will accelerate your skills in writing.

Even if a certain article didn't feel so 'great' it's still has potential.

Don’t undervalue existing content

Just cause something got zero views doesn't mean it's terrible.

Most people think otherwise but it shouldn't be so. It just means that you either need to keep exploring or you published when everyone was asleep.
Nothing more, nothing less.

The good thing is, the very fact it exists.

The power you have with old material

When writing, it's not about how many books you've read.

It's not about the YouTube videos on writing. It's not about the books on writing. Even though these are great. It's not about them.

It's about your writing.

It's about how you can help the reader in exchange of their attention.

So it's a matter of building a library of content that you can use repeatedly.

If you've had hundreds of articles on a subject, then it's time to curate it into a book. If you have great books, consider making YouTube videos about the topic. Some of the greatest writers do this cause, they're the owners of their creations.

And if the can do what they want with their content, you can too.

And a powerful tool for this is ChatGpt

You can use your existing content and feed them to ChatGPT to add new ideas.

As it does this, you'll pick things up as it goes. Which will increase your knowledge. And your exposure.

Publish it and no one will even know.

Cause it's fresh.

I've done this several times and no one even pointed out I did that. And it shouldn't matter cause the reader came to learn something. And if they do, you win.

Here's how to use ChatGPT to improve your old content:

1. Prompt it to write like you

The first thing you want to get right is avoiding it sounding vague.

For now, everyone knows that when a person writes something it's different from how Chatbots write. Different from the writing of LLMs. Cause they're trained on sounding a particular way.

Humans aren't.

Making most people's writing style— even though it might not look it at first — different.

Once you've prompted it to capture your style, you must now:

2. Feed it your content

After following #1, you present your story to rewrite.

This works well cause it's like having to learn new things, even though it's working on old material. And this can be done repeatedly. Which will save you time and give you more knowledge.

And finally #3.

3. Formatting the content

After you've done #1 and #2, it's time to format it.

Formatting is powerful in the digital age. Cause it makes the reading easier to go through. And the better this is done, the more it will be elegant.

Cause people don't read.

They now skim.

The Result

After doing this, you now:

Have an old story repurposed for increased relevance

Increase your own knowledge from ChatGPT's input

Instead of writing a whole other draft, your time's been saved

Do this severally and your knowledge will only go up.

Giving you more time for other projects.

Which will help make the most out of your time.
