Create long form articles with 5000+ words using the AI Outline template

Most AI models will only create responses to articles of around 400 words.

AI models are generally not trained to create very lengthy responses.

If you copy and paste the same prompt multiple times to increase the word count, you will find the AI repeating itself.

You can craft a special prompts with article subsections, intro body etc, however this doesn’t scale with different keywords.

Getting an AI model to write a coherent long form article with 5000 or more words requires a different process requiring AI generated outlines and special prompts.

SCM ships with a special long form AI template inside the Article Creator to make it easy to generate special long form articles.

How it works

  1. Ask AI to generate an outline of an article
  2. Use the same outline to generate prompts to write that section

Macro deep dive

The AI outline has 2 special macros and 1 special tag

  • %outline_h2%
  • %outline_h3%
  • <outline>

image

The 2 macros refer to the article outlines heading and subheading.

The heading and subheading is generated from the User macro %ai_outline%

image

The outline is AI generated and is just a simple h2/h3 outline of an article.

We can refer to each h2/h3 section using macros to write our <outline> prompt.

image

The outline prompt is run each time for every h3 inside the outline.

An outline ensures the article doesn’t repeat itself and reads naturally.

We can edit the outline prompt as required.

The standard SCM prompt will write a HTML article that has a html list or bold/italic keywords.

The prompt supports spintax.

Spintax is used to randomize the appearance of bullet points and bold/italic markup.

You can see the { | } spintax markup indicating the random inclusion of instructons.

You can use spintax to randomize the AI prompt and make it create more varied content.
