5 Steps to Automated Blog Writing With Jasper

5 Steps to Automated Blog Writing With Jasper

Writing blog posts, especially engaging and high-quality ones, takes time, effort, and a lot of creative juice. Jasper (formerly known as Jarvis) is an AI writing assistant designed to make this process faster, more efficient, and even enjoyable.

What is Jasper?

To put it briefly, Jasper is an AI-powered platform for automated writing that caters to everything from blog posts to emails, ad copy, and even social media captions. Built on advanced natural language processing (NLP) technology, Jasper can write in various tones, styles, and formats. The tool also allows you to develop marketing campaigns, track content performance and generate graphics to go along with your text.

In addition, Jasper provides browser extensions, numerous integration options, and an API that allows you to integrate it into your own platform.

Why is Jasper Taking Over the Blogging Scene?

The short answer? Time and scalability. Writers, marketers, and even small business owners are constantly tasked with producing more content in less time. Bloggers are no longer just bloggers – they are social media managers, SEO strategists, email marketers, and everything in between.

Jasper fits perfectly into this scene by enabling users to generate ideas, drafts, and polished paragraphs in a matter of minutes instead of hours. This doesn't mean it's doing the work for you, instead it's doing most of the heavy lifting so you can focus on direction and editing. By quickly generating prompts and ideas, Jasper can help you overcome the dreaded writer's block to get the ball rolling.

Aside from saving time, the technology is surprisingly good at adapting to specific tones and niches. Jasper can modify your text to make it sound more professional, more witty, or more friendly.

Writing Blogs with Jasper: Getting Started

AI-powered blog writing sounds great, but if you're new to Jasper (or AI writing tools in general), the process might feel overwhelming at first. Where do you even start? How do you make sure the content is good? The process is simpler than you think:

Step 1: Start with a Clear Goal in Mind

Before you get started with Jasper, ask yourself this: What do I want to create? Are you writing a how-to guide? A listicle? A product review? Having a clear purpose will help you craft the right instructions, or "prompts", for Jasper. The output is only as good as the input, so starting with a focused idea is key.

Tip: Write down keywords, your target audience, and the tone you're aiming for. For example:

  • Audience: Bloggers who want to grow their blog faster
  • Keywords: Jasper, AI writing, blog automation
  • Tone: Friendly but informative

This helps Jasper understand the context behind your request.

Step 2: Choose the Right Jasper App

Jasper comes with plenty of pre-made apps tailored to different kinds of writing tasks. For blogging, you'll typically start with one of these options:

  • Blog Post: If you're tackling an entire blog post from scratch, this generator helps you write long-form SEO-friendly content.
  • Blog Outline: Useful if you don't know how to structure your content.
  • Content Improver: If you only have some rough ideas, this will help elevate them into polished full paragraphs.

Step 3: Feed Jasper a Strong Prompt

As already mentioned, the output depends largely on the input. So, when you type in a prompt, make sure to make it specific and detailed.

  • Example of a weak prompt: "Write a blog about Jasper."
  • Example of a strong prompt: "Write an introduction to a blog post about Jasper, an AI-powered writing tool. Explain its key features and how it helps marketers save time."

If you give Jasper clear direction, you'll get an output that's closer to what you're looking for.

Step 4: Edit and Refine Jasper's Output

AI writing is all about collaborating with the tool. Once Jasper generates content, don't just copy-paste it straight into your blog. Treat its output like a solid first draft. Go over the entire text and ensure that the tone is aligned with your blog's brand voice, and that the sentences are easy to read and flow logically. Make sure to also verify facts and statistics that Jasper provides.

Step 5: Add Your Personal Touch

As polished as Jasper's output can be, your unique perspective is what makes your blog stand out. Personalize the content with opinions or specific insights only you can provide. This will resonate more deeply with your readers and prevent your blog from feeling too robotic.

Automating Beyond Jasper

Automating blog writing with Jasper can go even further when combined with workflow automation tools like Zapier or Make. These platforms allow you to integrate Jasper seamlessly into your existing tech stack, and can automate several steps in your blogging process such as:

  • Researching and organizing topics
  • Managing content across project management tools or CMS platforms
  • Scheduling and publishing blog posts across platforms (e.g., Webflow, WordPress).
  • Collaborating with team members for edits, approvals, or reviews.

While Jasper's AI and automation capabilities are groundbreaking, remember that it works best when paired with your creativity and judgment. You can use these tools to speed up tedious aspects of blogging, like outlining, drafting, and formatting, but always refine the content and infuse it with your authenticity.
