How to Use ChatGPT for Solo Content Creation

Okay , I'm not going to lie , because I was listening to another podcast . So if you've heard of Armchair Expert , then you may be familiar with Monica Padman , one of the co-hosts of Armchair Expert . She started a podcast called Synced with one of her friends , liz , and they started talking about having chat GPT for just different purposes .

And I'm going to go on this quick story about what they did and then just say I don't endorse this , I don't really , but it was just really interesting . It's where the whole concept of this episode came from today .

But they were talking about how women I don't know if girls , women , I don't know what category , like what age , to classify the people they were talking about but they were using chat GPT as like a makeshift boyfriend , like someone to have conversations with , help problem solve and just talk to them .

And so I won't get into the whole thing , you can go listen to the episode . I'll have it linked in the show notes . But I wanted to interview ChatGPT on some burning podcast questions that I hear all the time and just have a back and forth conversation . Because why not ?

Right , like I mean , why not , if you are a solo podcaster and you've been trying to figure out , like , how can I make this a little less awkward ? Why don't you practice with AI ? Why don't you interview someone who isn't going to make you feel stupid or awkward and it's just going to give you better interviewing skills ?

So that's what we're going to do today . I like I'm a little nervous about how this is going to turn out , but again , I told you like I'm going to go forth and do this first and then we'll see what happens . This could be something fantastic or it could be a total disaster . Either way , we're going to figure it out together . So let's get right to it .

Welcome to the Profit Podcast , where we teach you how to start , launch and market your content with confidence . I'm your host , Crystal Profit , and I'm so excited that you're here . Thanks for hanging out with me today , because if you've been trying to figure out the world of content creation , this is the show that will help be your time-saving shortcut .

So let's get right to it , shall we ? Okay ? So if you're watching on the video , awesome . If you're not , if you're just listening , don't worry . I'm going to tell you exactly what I'm doing . So I have chat GPT . I have the paid version , right , this is on my phone . It's on my desktop . I could do it on my iPad .

I'm doing this for my phone , and the reason why is because on the mobile or tablet version of chat GPT , you can actually talk to it . Like you're talking to another well-known Apple AI , siri , right ? I don't want to say her name too loud , cause then , like my , everything will start going off . Like , oh see , look my phone's already .

Like , are you talking to me ? I'm listening , no , no , no .

So what is going to happen is I'm going to ask it questions about podcasting and it's going to answer , and it's going to sound like a person and it's going to answer , and it's going to sound like a person , and it's going to be weird and wild and crazy , but I love it so much , it's going to be so fun . So I'm actually going to record this .

So if you're listening on the audio version and you want to see what I'm actually doing , then go watch the YouTube video when it's available . But , uh , this is going to be super fun , so I'm actually I'm going to start recording , so we'll have this recording of what this . You know what it all looks like . So let me see .

Okay , and I did come up with questions . I came up with questions that I would ask chat GPT . I had chat GPT come up with questions that I would ask it . I know it's a whole , a whole thing . So I have my list of questions and we're just we're going to jump right in and get right to it . Now .

The prompt and the topic that I wanted to cover was all about brand partnerships and what it could look like to work with other brands . So that's kind of the premise , but we're just going to see where all this goes today . Okay , are you ready ? All right .

So I'm going to click , I'm going to click my little headphones button down here and we're going to get chatting . We're going to get chatting with ChatGPT . I should have gave it a fun name for today , but I didn't do that . Okay , are you ready ? Here we go . I'm holding down my button , all right .

So I am interviewing today ChatGPT for the podcast and I want to ask you some questions . That has to do with your podcast and your content . So if your customers for your business were in a sitcom , who would be the quirky sidekick that keeps them coming back for more ?

This sidekick doesn't always make sense , might derail the main storyline with wild antics from time to time , but ultimately brings a unique charm and value that just keeps everyone tuning in for more . It's all about those unexpected moments that make the journey fun and keep your audience coming back . How do you

think that tracks with your audience's experience ?

Like anytime I talk to anybody they ask me about something like , hey , how do you come up with this ? I'm like did you ask AI ? Did you use AI in some way ? Like they want to go on a trip somewhere . Did you talk to AI ? Like I am so bought in to having AI make my life easier .

So what I love about this is they have really worked and when I say they , the people that are developing this AI technology they are working towards making it sound more like a human , because it sounded like I was sitting there talking to someone .

Right , like it has the inflections and the pauses and it has people you know saying like , like there was pauses and ums and a natural cadence of me having a conversation with someone . So I love that so much . And again , I did this on my phone and so once you're done , it actually gives you the text version . So now I have the text version .

So I was like , wait , what ? What did they say ? You can go back and you can read exactly what they said . So if something doesn't make sense or you needed to take a pause and like go and read exactly what they said , then you could do that .

I also realized that this is like a super silly question that I asked and that was kind of intentional to kind of break the ice and get the conversation going . But I do have some other questions that I wanted to ask it specifically for podcasters and content creators and business owners . So that's what we're going to go into next .

We're gonna talk about having diehard fans and diehard customers for your business . So question number two Okay , yeah , that was helpful , but now I want to talk about how do I make someone a diehard fan for my business , like you as a content creator ? What's your secret formula ?

And is it one parts , like just doing the hard work , two parts making things really high quality and then just a dash of magic ? How does that work for you ?

For someone like me , it's about truly understanding and connecting with the users , offering them what they need before they even know they need it , and always keeping it engaging .

For your podcast and content , that magic might be how you relate to your listeners , as if you're right there in the room with them , giving them that blend of expertise and entertainment that they can't find anywhere else . It's about creating those moments where they think , wow , this is exactly what I needed to hear today .

So what do you think has been that magical ingredient in your work so far ?

We all make mistakes , and just being that raw , authentic version of yourself can really help customers relate to you . Is that the right approach ?

You're showing them that it's okay to be a work in progress and that authenticity is really what helps turn casual listeners into diehard fans . It sounds like you've already mastered one of the key elements of creating a strong , loyal community .

Do you find your audience responding particularly well to certain types of stories or content where you showcase this authenticity ?

One failure to success Episodes where you dive deep into a specific instance where you faced a significant setback or failure and then outline the steps you took to turn it around . This not only shows resilience , but also provides a learning opportunity for your audience .

Two day in the life Offer a behind-the-scenes look at your typical day or what goes into creating a podcast episode or course . This transparency can demystify the process and make your audience feel closer to you . Three community spotlights Feature stories from your community members who are applying your teachings .

Hearing from peers can be incredibly motivating for your audience , showing them real-world applications of your advice . Four expert mistakes Invite experts in your field to share a significant mistake they made in their career and what they learned from it . It shows that everyone , even experts , can falter and learn .

Five challenge series Run a series where you tackle a new challenge related to your field , documenting your progress and setbacks . It could be anything from trying a new content strategy to learning a new skill that's relevant to your audience .

These approaches can really highlight the human side of the content creation journey , encouraging your audience to stick with you through ups and downs . What do you think might resonate most with your listeners ?

I'm like showing you on my phone they're outlined in this like beautiful list that I could go through later and it will like I , I'm keeping these , these are for me , I'm going to have these . Just , I love this so much . You can tell I'm like getting all over myself because I think that this is so important for those of you that are stuck .

You have what's you know , writer's block or podcaster's block . I mean , it's hard to do that when you're just talking and that's your medium . But I hear from so many of you that are solo podcasters and you're like it's just easier whenever I have someone to have a conversation with . Well , here's a easy solution to get you started .

And maybe you're like well , crystal , that's really awkward and my audience won't get that , or they won't understand that , or that only works because you talk about content . What do I do for me ? Well , you could absolutely customize an avatar for AI Like this one .

I don't remember its name , like the voice I previously had , a woman , and then I changed to this guy just to have a little bit of diversity of voices on this episode today . But you could have it . So do you notice how it called me KP ? This is my nickname , because I don't want it to call me Crystal all the time . That feels really weird .

So I gave it this nickname . I was like you call me KP . It's set up in my settings that you can go into chat GPT and change it , but it calls me KP and I don't even have a name for it . It's just like hey , chad GPT .

You know I should call it something else , but the point is , if you are saying I'm stuck , I'm stuck , I'm stuck , I am sitting here offering so much valuable information that you could go , take and use it for however you're comfortable using it . Yeah , it's weird . You probably shouldn't do this for all of your episodes . Maybe you will , maybe you'll embrace it .

You and ChatGPT will start your own podcast where you talk about plants or you talk about Texas history , like whatever it is . But I think it's so valuable to experiment and try new things and I wanted to come here today just to show you what's possible and to give you some insights into these great ideas , like did you listen to the valuable information ?

Like some of it's , you know it's like stuff we already know or it may not be worth implementing because I've already tried that , I've already done it , but there was some nuggets of wisdom in there that I'm like Ooh , I'm going to go try that . The challenge , the challenge series Like why didn't I think of that ?

Why haven't I done a challenge series where we take really difficult

problems within podcasting or content creation and we go and tackle them , or I go and talk to people that have tackled them . These were great ideas and so I wanted to come here today , do this experimental episode and show you that it can be done .

As awkward as it is and as weird as it sounds , I wanted to try something different and show you that it was absolutely possible . So today's episode , it's going to be cut a little short , but that was the intention of it . It was an experiment to see what you thought about it .

I want you to reach out and tell me so if you're watching on the YouTube video , put in the comments . Let me know what you thought about today's video .

If you want to see more of this , if you want me to try 10 other things , should I start a podcast with the chat GPT and like , give it a name and all the things I will put , all the disclaimers that you know this was created with artificial intelligence , because I'm proud of it .

Like yeah , like it was , this was totally something that was not just me generating it and it was AI endorsed . It was AI . What is it Like ? What's the word ? I'm trying to think that YouTube now has a disclaimer that you have to put on your content that says like , was this actually ?

I have my YouTube channel open , so I'm going go look at it and I'm gonna put a screenshot up here of what it says . But you have to put a disclaimer now that says let's see . Does the following describe your content ? It's called altered content . It says makes a real person appear to say or do something they didn't say or do .

It alters the footage of a real event or place or generates a realistic looking scene that didn't actually occur . So I didn't really do any of that , but it does say this includes realistic sounds or visuals made with AI or other tools .

So I'm going to put yes , just because I'm risk averse and I'd rather like have it on there than not have it on there and get in trouble later . So we'll say yes , we , we did some stuff where it was kind of pretending to be a different person , even though I told you it was chat GBT . You know all the things . But I'm excited about this .

I am going to continue to experiment . So if you're watching on the YouTube channel , drop in the comments . If you're listening on the podcast , reach out on Instagram and tell me how was this listening experience Like ? Would you listen to a podcast with an AI like you and an AI or someone else in an AI ?

Because whenever I heard the conversation that Monica and Liz had on synced , they were having an actual in-person conversation and then they were conversing with chat GPT and it was so incredible how dynamic everything was .

It sounded like there was another person , it sounded like there was a third person there that they were talking to and they , like , would cut it off in the middle of it . It's like , no , you're not making sense , or no , that's not right . And it cut it off in the middle of it .

It's like , no , you're not making sense or no , that's not right , and it was actually dynamic in the way that if someone were rudely interrupting you , then that's what it would sound like . You would have that cut off of the dialogue right in the middle of someone saying something , and so I just I find it fascinating and I think it's so interesting .

I want you to experiment too . So reach out on Instagram , send me an email , crystal at crystalprofitcom , and let me know your thoughts . But that's all I have for you today . So make sure you are following or subscribe to the podcast wherever you are listening and watching , and , as always , remember , keep it up . We all have to start somewhere .
