AI Productivity Tip - Save a Ton of Time!

How to use AI to format text in Beehiiv

I almost don't even want to share this ChatGPT tip. ๐Ÿคซ

This productivity tip will save you so much time, I feel like I should be charging for it. ๐Ÿ’ธ

The Problem with AI Written Articles ๐Ÿ˜ก

First of all, I absolutely HATE AI written articles. I never write them myself, and I can always tell when other people use AI to write. ๐Ÿ˜ค

Butโ€ฆ

That doesn't mean you can't use AI to help save you time writing. ๐Ÿ•’

โ

Secret tip: Iโ€™m writing this entire article myself - but Chat-GPT (GPT-4o) is doing all of the time consuming formatting for me - including putting in the emojis! ๐Ÿ˜† 

The Pain of Formatting ๐Ÿ˜–

The part I hate most about writing Beehiiv emails like this one (or any articles online) is all the formatting that needs to be done.

  • H1 tags

  • Emojis

  • Bold

  • Italics

  • Affiliate linking

  • Linking to my website

  • Bla bla bla

The formatting takes a ton of time, and it's the kind of mindless work that can take you out of a flow state. Even if I leave it to the end, I hate it so much that it almost makes me not want to write in the first place. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

The Solution: ChatGPT's Memory Feature ๐Ÿ’ก

So what do I do now? ๐Ÿค”

I use ChatGPT's memory feature. ๐Ÿค–

  1. Upload Affiliate Links: I uploaded all of my affiliate links into a ChatGPT conversation and told it to save them in memory. ๐Ÿ”—

  2. Emoji Preferences: I shared the type of emojis I like in my articles. ๐Ÿ˜

  3. Newsletter Sign-Up: I shared that I want a "sign up to my newsletter" somewhere in the articleโ€Šโ€”โ€Šwith a link to it. ๐Ÿ“ง (I use for Medium articles)

  4. Social Media Links: I shared the collection of social media links I want at the end of my articles. ๐ŸŒ (I use for Medium articles)

  5. Affiliate Hyperlinking: I told ChatGPT to write a sentence about why I love using Beehiiv, hyperlinking the word "Beehiiv" with my affiliate link. ๐Ÿ“จ

Beehiiv has been an amazing email newsletter platform for me personally. So I've been recommending it in many articles because I know from firsthand experience it works well and it is worth at least signing up to the free plan for content creators of any kind. ๐Ÿ’ช

I told ChatGPT to save all of that info in memory.

The Test ๐Ÿ“

Then came the testโ€ฆ

I cut and pasted an entire article (which I personally wrote 100%) into ChatGPTโ€Šโ€”โ€Šwith zero formatting or anything.

I said, "I want you to format this article, without adding anything new of your own. Just make my writing look great and flow. Use all the information I told you to use in your memory."

And Boom. ๐Ÿ’ฅ

It was essentially perfect! ๐ŸŽฏ

I cut and pasted everything from ChatGPT right back into Beehiiv, did a quick read-over to make sure everything was fine, and then I clicked "submit". ๐Ÿš€

Even if you aren't writing on Beehiiv, you can use the same concept for formatting whatever you need to write on any sort of a regular basis. ๐Ÿ“‘
