How To Use AI In Copywriting

Know them Dig deeper Refine

AI is an incredible tool for copywriters, but without the right approach, your copy might sound too robotic. Whether you're an experienced copywriter or just starting, AI can help you save time and improve your content. In this blog, I'll walk you through how to use AI for copywriting without losing your unique voice.

Why Use AI for Copywriting?

AI tools like ChatGPT can assist with everything from brainstorming ideas to writing the first draft. However, the secret to using AI effectively is refining the output so that it sounds human. You don't want your copy to feel generic or like a machine wrote it. By following the tips in this guide, you'll learn how to make AI-generated copy sound natural and engaging.

Step 1: Identify and Understand Your Audience

The first step to great copywriting—whether you're using AI or not—is understanding who you're talking to. If you don't know your audience, your copy will miss the mark. Here's how to get started:

Use ChatGPT to clarify your audience: Tell ChatGPT what you already know about your audience. Then, ask it for clarifying questions like, "Here's what I know about my audience. Can you ask me more questions to help narrow it down further?"

Refine your audience with ChatGPT: ChatGPT will help you pinpoint who your ideal customers are, as well as who they aren't. The more specific you get, the better your copy will resonate.

Step 2: Get to the Heart of Your Audience's Motivations

Once you know who your audience is, the next step is understanding what drives them. AI can help uncover your audience's deepest motivations:

Ask ChatGPT to dig into their challenges and desires: For example, ask, "What keeps my audience up at night? What gets them excited? What problems do they need solved?"

Go beyond the surface-level problems: Instead of simply saying your audience is "stressed" or "overwhelmed," dig deeper. Ask ChatGPT, "What does that stress look like in their daily life?" You want to get specific to make your copy more compelling.

Step 3: Use AI to Solve Your Audience's Problems

Once you understand your audience's pain points, use AI to craft copy that offers solutions. But don't stop at surface-level fixes—dig deep:

Ask ChatGPT to expand on your audience's problems: For example, ask, "What does frustration look like for this audience?" You might find that frustration is more than just a feeling—it's waking up at 3 a.m. worrying about their to-do list.

Create relatable solutions: The more vivid and personal you make the problem, the more relatable your solution will be. Instead of just saying "We help you save time," you could say, "We help you go from feeling overwhelmed to having a manageable schedule that keeps you focused and calm."

Step 4: Use Surveys and Feedback to Improve Your AI Copy

Audience feedback is a powerful tool to refine your copy. Here's how you can use surveys to enhance your AI-generated content:

Ask customers why they joined your program or bought your product: Then, copy and paste their responses into ChatGPT. Ask, "Can you summarize the main reasons people join my program?" This helps you create copy that's tailored to real customer experiences.

Pull out key phrases for sales copy: Use the responses you gather from feedback to pull quotes and key phrases. This will make your copy feel more authentic and relatable.

Step 5: Refine Your AI Copy with the Copy Feedback Formula

To take your AI-written copy from good to great, follow this four-step feedback formula:

Preferences: Start by telling ChatGPT what you like and don't like about the initial draft. For example, "This part feels too formal; I need it to sound more conversational."

Examples: Provide examples of how you'd like the copy to sound. If ChatGPT writes something like "Your audience is stressed," suggest, "Instead of 'stressed,' let's say they feel stuck because they're working long hours without seeing results."

Self-Review: Ask ChatGPT to review its own work. Say, "Here's what I asked for, and here's what you gave me. Review the copy and tell me where you missed the mark." This will help improve the AI's future outputs.

Refinement: Once you've reviewed the draft, ask ChatGPT to make changes based on your feedback. You can even request multiple versions to compare and choose the one that best fits your voice.

★Bonus Tip: Eliminate Common AI Phrases

One of the most common mistakes when using AI is letting it use overused, robotic phrases. Here's how to avoid that:

Watch out for common AI words: Remove phrases like "unleash," "unlock," or "dive into" from your copy. These are clear signs that AI wrote the content, and they can make your copy feel impersonal.

Use AI as a co-pilot, not the main writer: Let AI handle the first draft, but always refine and polish it yourself to keep your voice strong and consistent.

Conclusion:

AI is an amazing tool for speeding up your copywriting process, but to make it truly effective, you need to stay involved. By clarifying your audience, uncovering their motivations, and refining the copy with feedback, you can make AI-generated content sound like you—not a machine.
