In-depth Guide on Writing Essays with ChatGPT

In my last video where I showed you how you can use ChatGPT to write essays, I was overwhelmed with the amount of feedback I had. But one thing caught my attention, which was there were a lot of questions of people asking for further clarification on certain things like getting citations, finding more ideas, and expanding on the outputs.

Enhancing Your Essay Writing Skills with ChatGPT

When I first released that video, it wasn’t actually possible to do the enhancements that I’m going to show you in this video. This video is going to be an enhanced, more refined tutorial on how you can write an essay. I’m going to show you an incredible prompt that I’ve created that you can start utilizing today and start getting some incredible results. I’ll also show you how I’ve been writing over a thousand-plus word blogs, articles, and essays using automation.

Getting Started with ChatGPT

If you have any questions, go ahead and drop them below. I tend to reply within a few minutes to a couple of hours. And if you want to see more content like this, make sure you tap the like button and subscribe to this channel.

To get started with ChatGPT, you want to head over to chat.openai.com. Then click the sign up button. Once you’ve created yourself an account, you’ll now be able to access ChatGPT’s interface.

Enabling Features in ChatGPT

Now that you’re inside ChatGPT, you should see these two options at the top: the 3.5 model and the GPT4 model. We’re going to want to use GPT4. If you don’t have this option, it’s likely because you’re not a plus user. To become a plus member, head over to your account, click on my plan, and then subscribe to the plus plan. It is truly worth it if you plan on doing a lot of writing.

Now that you’re inside GPT4, we’re going to want to enable some of the plugins. Click on your account settings, beta features, and enable web browsing and plugins. You can also change the theme to a light or dark one in the General settings.

Creating a Powerful Essay Prompt

The prompt I’m about to show you is an incredibly powerful prompt. For a lot of you, this might be the longest prompt you’ve ever used with ChatGPT. But in order to truly get great outputs, we need to be specific with what we’re telling GPT4.

First thing we’re going to specify to GPT4 is what we want. We’re going to say, “Please write a comprehensive essay on [topic]. This essay should be a minimum of 1000 words and must include the following elements.”

Then we’ll outline each element such as an engaging introduction, relevant headings, expanded points, use of sources, a conclusion, academic tone, in-text citations, and a reference list. We also want to ensure the content is plagiarism-free.

Generating Your Essay with ChatGPT

Now that we’ve set up our prompt, we can let GPT4 start writing the essay for us. It may take some time, especially with browsing enabled, as it searches the internet for up-to-date information.

Automating the Essay Writing Process

If you want to generate longer essays or articles with automation, you can use tools like Google Sheets connected to ChatGPT. By breaking down your content into chunks and automating the process, you can quickly generate high-quality posts or articles for your website.
