Hey guys, welcome to Write Bites: a series of 10-minute episodes on writing, marketing, and freelancing.
In today’s episode, I’m going to be sharing four ways that copywriters should be using GPT-3 right now.
Not in the future, not when the technology gets better. This is four ways that you can be using this tech right now.
I’m going to tell you what those things are and I’m actually gonna show you exactly how to use them. It’s super simple. And I think you’re going to be really excited.
Important Announcements
Before we dive in, I have two pretty exciting announcements.
First of all, you can see in the background here that I’m in the process of moving down to San Diego this week. I’m really excited to have a little bit of a change of scenery.
If you’re in the area and you want to connect, definitely hit me up!
Second of all (and this is something that I’ve actually never done before. This is a first for me and I’m really excited about it!), my podcast and the Write Bites Youtube channel is now officially sponsored by CopyAI.
If you haven’t heard of CopyAI, they’re a company that helps marketers, business owners and writers leverage the GPT-3 technology with really simple, straightforward, easy-to-use tools.
Now, I absolutely love this tool.
I reached out to CopyAI when I first found out what they were doing.
I took one look at their tool and I thought “Wow, this is basically leveraging the GPT-3 technology in all the ways that I wanted to utilize the tech when it first came out”. But you couldn’t really do it just using their base “playground”.
If you were to just try to pull GPT-3 tech and use it for writing, it’d be like sitting down to a commercial espresso machine and trying to make a cup of coffee without knowing anything about espresso brewing.
What CopyAI does is they have written human-made instructions that go over GPT-3 and allow it to immediately understand what you’re looking for.
So if you want to write an email subject line, CopyAI has a tool built for email subject lines. All you have to do is enter a little bit of info about the topic and it’ll pop out seven different email subject lines generated using GPT-3.
It’s really cool. They’re helping ordinary people leverage this tool in a really smart way.
I reached out to them when I first came across this tool since I was really excited about it. I wanted to see how I could partner and work with them to help them make this tool most effective for writers.
As I talked about before when I was first covering GPT-3, I don’t see this technology as a threat for good writers.
I think there is a section of the writing market that’s very low-quality, where writers aren’t really looking to be good writers. They’re just looking to churn out a huge quantity of low-quality writing.
That corner of the market was always destined to be replaced. And so this tech will probably be part of replacing that market.
But for the most part, what really makes a writer effective and high-paid as a result is knowing the substance of what they’re writing – understanding the core substance of a piece.
GPT-3 – while it can generate ideas and language – can’t generate core substance for lengthier pieces of content.
Bottom line: it’s not a threat, it can actually be a really effective tool for your own personal productivity.
In this video, I’m going to be covering four different ways tha...
