Discover the Top-Secret Technique to Crafting Killer Blog Post Titles - Straight from the AI Mastermind, ChatGPT!

Maybe you have heard about this new "Chat GPT" thing. Right? There are tons of blog posts and youtube videos that tell how to use Chat GPT to make more easy money by creating applications, generating content etc...
I was wondering if it can be used to help me generating something related to itself and this situation where everybody wants to write something about it (and I am adding to this list with this post).
Here is what happened...

The chat

ME: I want to write a blog post with a clickbaiting title about how to ask chat-gpt to create a clickbait title for an article. Can you help me?

GPT: Sure, I can help you come up with a clickbait title for your blog post. Here are a few options:

  • "Want to write the ultimate clickbait title? Here's how ChatGPT can help!"
  • "The secret to writing clickbait titles revealed - with a little help from ChatGPT" -"ChatGPT spills the tea on how to create clickbait titles that actually work"
  • "Revamp your headline game: Ask ChatGPT to create a killer clickbait title"
  • "Why waste time brainstorming? Let ChatGPT generate your clickbait title for you"

It looks like it did a pretty good job. In fact, it showed me that it understands the concept of clickbait and the basic pattern of this kind of titles.
I tried then to propose another option, which was the one I had in mind in the first place.

ME: How about "I asked ChatGPT to help me with a post title. The answer will shock you"?

And then, the answer will shock you (naaah, just kidding)

GPT: That's definitely a clickbait title! However, it may not accurately reflect the content of your blog post, especially since the answer (i.e., the clickbait title generated by ChatGPT) may not actually be shocking. Keep in mind that while clickbait titles can be effective in getting clicks, it's important to also provide valuable and informative content for your readers once they're on your site.

This answer did surprise me. In fact, it basically reminds you that it is important to provide valuable and informative content for your readers which may sound obvious, but it isn't.
Then, it told me that it can help me if I need other examples ("great to hear" I thought).

GPT: If you'd like, I can suggest some alternative clickbait titles that might be more relevant to the content of your blog post. Let me know!

ME: Yes, please. I would like to talk about how to use ChatGpt to improve the titles of my blog posts

GPT: Great! Here are some clickbait title options for your blog post:

  • "Revolutionize Your Blog Post Titles with ChatGPT's Secret Tool"
  • "Is Your Blog Post Title a Snooze Fest? Let ChatGPT Transform It into a Clickbait Masterpiece"
  • "Don't Let Your Blog Post Titles Fall Flat - Use ChatGPT's Tips for Click-Worthy Headlines"
  • "Want to Boost Your Click-Through Rates? Ask ChatGPT to Generate Attention-Grabbing Blog Post Titles"
  • "The Ultimate Hack for Bloggers: Use ChatGPT to Create Clickbait Titles That Actually Deliver"
  • "Say Goodbye to Boring Blog Post Titles - ChatGPT's Got Your Back"
  • "Get More Traffic to Your Blog with ChatGPT's Proven Method for Crafting Irresistible Headlines"
  • "How to Use ChatGPT to Create Headlines That Will Make Your Blog Posts Go Viral"

Again, the job here is pretty good. But I was not satisfied. I needed a title for this blog post. So I asked for one more

ME: Ok, so give me just one more example and I'm going to use this one for the real post

GPT: Sure, here's one more clickbait title option for your blog post:

Here we go

ME: Cool, thanks bro

GPT: You're welcome! Good luck with your blog post. Don't forget to deliver on the promise of your clickbait title by providing valuable content for your readers.

Now it also reminds me to write valuable content. The pressure is on me now.

Conclusion

It looks like Chat GPT understands what clickbait is. But it also knows that writing clickbait titles is not enough. When you write something and you share it with the world, you MUST ask yourself: does it create value? is it worth sharing?
I think that this is in the end the secret ingredient of the great contents: the purpose of creating value to the readers. I hope I did that with this post (at least this was my goal).
Cheers.
