Steps on How to Use Jasper to Write a Blog Post

Now that you know how to get started with Jasper and pick a suitable plan (Boss Mode), let’s explore how to create a nice and informative article with the help of this AI writing tool.

1. Pick a template

As mentioned previously, Jasper has templates for various types of writing projects. Over 50 of them are available. You can find a template for ad copy, product descriptions, social media posts, and more.

But in our case, we’ll only be needing the documents template that is accessible to Boss Mode users. This is the template that can help you produce content from the start to the end. To access it, simply go to “Templates” on your account and select “Documents.” You can as well click on the “+” button that indicates the addition of a new document on your dashboard.

2. Choose how to start your document

To begin your blog post, you’ll need to choose between three options:

Start from scratch

The first option is to start writing the article yourself. This is suitable if you already have an idea of what the blog post will be about and the structure it will take.

Workflow

Another way is to start from workflow. This is an option that allows you to begin your document using a particular pre-bundled template.

If you choose it, you’re able to select a workflow such as a blog post workflow, and apply the template of your choice. This can work for you if you need to use several templates in your document.

Blog post starter

The third option is to provide Jasper with a topic brief. This is a great way of making sure your post aligns with your content marketing goals.

To create a topic brief, click the “Start with Starter” button after selecting the Documents template. You’ll need to answer specific questions about the article you want to write. These include a quick description of what you need title along with some optional keywords.

Next, Jasper will let you generate title ideas. You can either write your own or click on “Generate 3 ideas” to get the first three titles you could potentially use. If you don’t like them, keep clicking to generate more.

After that, go to the next part, the intro paragraph. Simply click on Generate button to let Jasper create intro suggestions for you. Of course, you can adjust them accordingly because they’re editable.

3. Open the Jasper document editor

Once you’ve selected the Blog post starter option, it’s time to open the editor. This is where you’ll be writing your article.

On the left side of the editor, you’ll see a box that contains all the details about your post. This includes the title, content brief, and keywords — all of which are editable and customizable. Also, you can select the tone of voice you need for your content, whether witty, serious or anything else.

The right side is where you will start working on your blog post. Here, you can write, format, and add images and links.

4. Start composing text

Now that you’ve opened the editor, it’s time to start writing. The top of your document will indicate that it’s in Focus mode. This is where you simply instruct the tool to create text for you based on your previous and ongoing inputs.

To start, you can write the first heading and even how you want the first sentence to begin. The AI will finish the sentences and generate new ones for your content automatically if you click on the “Compose” button. If you’re a sucker for shortcuts, you just need to click CTRL+J.

Here are a few more useful Jasper keyboard shortcuts and codes for PC (click on the purple info icon in the editor for more):

• CTRL + ENTER: Run a Jasper command.
• CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER: Run a Jasper command and keep it in place.
• CTRL + /: Run again the last generation for better quality content.
• CTRL + Z: Undo the last change.
• CTRL + K: Create a hyperlink.
• CTRL+ SHIFT + I: Add an image to your text.
• Typing in ***: Prevent Jasper from looking back past a specific point in the document to prevent duplication.

At the same time, you can use a variety of tools to format your text and make it look good. This includes headings from H1 to H4, bulleted and numbered lists; bold, italic, and underlined words.

Jasper automatically saves your progress on the document. You’ll see a small tick symbol at the top indicating that your work is safe.

If for any reason your text hasn’t been saved (like when you suddenly go offline), Jasper notifies you. Just go back online and click on the red exclamation symbol and everything will be fine.

You can even restore your work to a previous version by clicking on the tick icon. You’ll be able to see all the document history by date and time and select the one you need.

Let’s look at 5 more buttons on Jasper editor’s far right side plus their meanings (in order):

First, we have the Jasper Re-phrase button. Use it to reword your text while passing on the same meaning.

What comes second is the Fix Grammar button for ensuring the generated text has no errors.

Coming third is the Explain to a 5th Grader button. This is for simplifying text that can be hard to understand for the average person.

Next is the Grammarly button where you’ll turn on or switch off the Grammarly grammar checker software.

Lastly, you’ll see the plagiarism detector tool on Jasper, just before the purple button.

5. Edit your document

When the document is finished, it helps to ensure it meets your quality standards. Although Jasper doesn’t have spelling mistakes, the Editing tab still allows you to review the text. Jasper also checks for plagiarism, so that you’re sure your content is completely original.

Here are the things to look out for when editing your document:

• Headings: Ensure that your content has proper headings. Since H1 is already the blog post title on WordPress, you need to begin with H2s for subtopics and then the rest of the headings that follow depending on your content.
• Facts and figures: Check if all the facts and figures mentioned in your post are accurate and up to date. So, you still need to do proper research.
• Repetitive texts or concepts: Make sure that the post does not contain any unnecessary repetition of information.
• Keywords: Keywords are crucial for ranking your written content. Assuming you’ve already done keyword research, you need to now incorporate them in your blog post and ensure they appear in the right places.

Now, my best strategy for using Jasper well is to correct your document as you go. This would mean ensuring that the intro paragraph is as required before generating the first paragraph in the body. Or, making sure the first paragraph sounds right before instructing Jasper to compose the next paragraph.

Remember, Jasper learns from you to serve you better. So, this approach will make Jasper understand how you want to structure and put together your entire blog post in terms of idea layout and length of sentences and paragraphs. Lastly, you’ll also need to do the final editing when the project is done.
