Write a Blog Article

A single well-written blog article can drive traffic for years. This mission walks you through the entire process — from picking a topic to hitting publish — using Gemini, Claude, and basic SEO principles.

1.5 hours Beginner

Deliverable: A 1,000-word published article.

01
CHATGPT 10 min

Pick your topic and target keyword

Choose a topic your audience is searching for. Use ChatGPT to find the right angle instead of guessing.

Prompt to use

I write about [your niche/topic area] for [your audience]. Suggest 10 blog article topics my audience would search for, along with the likely search keyword for each. Prioritize topics that are specific, not generic.

  • Pick a topic you can speak on from real experience or research
  • Avoid keywords that are too broad — specific topics rank easier
  • Write your final topic and keyword down before moving on
02
GEMINI 20 min

Research and outline with Gemini

Ask Gemini to research top-ranking articles on your topic and identify what they cover, then build an outline that goes further.

Prompt to use

I'm writing an article about [your topic], targeting the keyword '[your keyword]'. Search for the top-ranking articles on this topic and tell me what headers/sections they all cover. Then suggest an outline for my article that covers those points plus one unique angle they're missing.

  • Note any specific facts, stats, or examples worth including, and verify them
  • Look for a gap — something competitors don't cover that you can add
  • Keep the outline to 5-7 main sections
03
CLAUDE 30 min

Write the full draft with Claude

Hand Claude your outline and ask it to write a complete 1,000-word article in your voice.

Prompt to use

Here's my outline: [paste outline]. Write a complete 1,000-word blog article following this structure, targeting the keyword '[your keyword]' naturally throughout. Write in a [describe your voice] tone, use short paragraphs, and include a clear intro and conclusion.

  • Feed Claude one section at a time if the full draft feels generic
  • Ask for a stronger opening line if the intro doesn't hook you
  • Paste a sample of your own past writing first if you want it to match your voice
04
YOU 15 min

SEO-optimize the article

Add your keyword naturally to the title, first paragraph, headers, and meta description — without forcing it.

  • Include your keyword in the title, first paragraph, one header, and meta description
  • Don't force the keyword unnaturally — readability comes first
  • Add 1-2 internal links to other pages on your site if relevant
05
YOU 15 min

Edit, publish, and share

Read it once for accuracy. Publish to your blog or Medium. Share it on one platform.

  • Read it once out loud — awkward phrasing is easier to catch by ear
  • Fact-check any claim, statistic, or example the AI included
  • Publish and share it on the one platform your target reader actually uses
