Are you a writer? Do you earn money from the writing of any kind?

Probably yes.

Yes if you own a website, blog, social media pages, and handles or a Youtube channel. Whatever your means of reaching out to your clients is, you write content of some sort.

But this piece is for those who are majorly into writing as freelancers or copywriters!

Below are 5 sites that will make you smile even if you vowed not to:

1. Express Writers
2. Estorytellers
3. Write Right
4. Content Euphoria
5. Content Whale

Simply copy the name of any one of the above, paste it on your browser, and voila, you are done.

In a recent Forum discussion on Mastodon, Google's John Muller said to everyone's surprise that Word count is not a Google algorithm ranking factor.

In his words he said:

"FWIW there's nothing in Google's algorithms that focus on a certain number of words per section." John added that for users, sure "it can make sense to help with readability," "but it's definitely not an SEO factor, he added"

What does that mean for you as a content writer?

It is welcome to go into detail with your copy, but if you can be helpful to your readers by being simple and straight to the point, it will be better.



In some cases, it increases engagement to go long form, but that should be only when it is necessary to convey the message.

Of course, you should have registered your domain, hosted it, and must have chosen your 'website builder' if you are going that route.
So, assuming all that has been handled,
you are now faced with making your site perform at its best.

But before you jump in and start downloading plugins, consider what you want to achieve:


Determine your needs:

Take some time to think about what you need the plugin to do. Make a list of your requirements and prioritize them. This could be something in the neighborhood of the following:

What type of site are you building?
What type of site are you building?
What will be the desired outcome of any plugin I want to install?
How will the plugin affect the overall performance of my site?
Can I do without this plugin?


If you have a clear understanding of your requirements. then go ahead and do the next step:

Research and compare:

There are thousands of WordPress plugins available, so it's important to do some research to find the best one for your needs.
Here are some of the things I look out for:
Plugins that have good ratings and reviews,
Compare their features to see which one is the best fit for you.
MAKE SURE THE PLUGIN HAS BEEN UPDATED IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS
A plugin that was last updated one year ago, will have security and functionality issues which is a sign that the creators may no longer be in business or they no longer support the plugin.


COMPATIBILITY:
Check for compatibility with your version of WordPress, your Theme, and other existing plugins you may have before you install any plugin.

(This thread would ordinarily have been under the programming category, but I am writing from the perspective of a digital marketer.)

it is all about

"Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3", which is a natural language processing (NLP) model developed by OpenAI. It is one of the largest and most powerful language models currently available and has been used for various applications, including language translation, text summarization, and question-answering.

A little about the people behind the name:

OpenAI is a research organization that develops and promotes advanced artificial intelligence technologies, including natural language processing (NLP) models such as GPT-3. These models can generate human-like text, which can in turn be used for a variety of purposes including content creation.

GPT-3 has gained significant attention in the media and among researchers due to its impressive language generation capabilities. It has also been used to create chatbots that can carry on conversations with humans in a way that is convincing to some extent.

(However, it is essential to note that GPT-3 is not a standalone chatbot and requires integration with other software and programming to be used for chatbot applications.)

The proliferation of chatbots using GPT-3 or other language models may increase in the future, as the technology continues to advance and become more widely available. However, it is difficult to predict precisely how chatbots using these models will be used and to what extent they will be adopted.

Now about content creation:

GPT-3 has been used to automatically generate articles, stories, and other written content. It has also been used to create social media posts, emails, and other written communications.

In some cases, the text generated by these models may require minimal editing or proofreading to be suitable for publication, while in other cases more extensive editing may be necessary.

One of the key strengths of GPT-3 is its ability to generate coherent, flowing text that is structurally similar to text written by humans. This makes it particularly well-suited for tasks that involve generating long-form text, such as articles and stories.

It is also able to generate text that is appropriate for a wide range of styles and tones, from formal and academic to casual and conversational

It is important to note that while NLP models like GPT-3 can generate human-like text, they are not able to fully replicate the creativity and nuance of a human writer. As such, they should be used as a tool to assist with content creation rather than as a replacement for human writers.

Currently, content developers and writers are making use of the bot to a greater degree that it has suddenly become a source of serious concern to search engine giant Google.

With chatGPT, creators no longer face the blank screen of their computers, immersed and wallowing ungainly in thought as to what to write. All you have to do is key in some text in the chatGPT window and it returns a somewhat intelligent response that can serve as a starting phase for any writing.

Of course, a bit of skill and discretion is needed when using any Ai to write content. Even the developers of this program agree on its inherent capabilities and the amount of training the program has undergone to ensure utmost performance, however, they do admit it can sometimes return redundant queries.

Among some of the things or types of content you can generate with Open AI's chatbot are:
1. listicles
2. specific queries
3. direct questions
4. stories

Now here is where Google comes in:

It is difficult to know exactly how Google views GPT-3, as the company does not publicly disclose its opinions on specific products or technologies.

However, it is likely that Google is aware of the attention and buzz surrounding GPT-3, and may be interested in the potential applications and implications of the model for the field of NLP and for the company's own products and services.

It is also worth noting that Google and OpenAI have a history of collaboration and cooperation. For example, in 2020, Google and OpenAI announced a partnership to jointly develop and promote advanced artificial intelligence technologies, including NLP models. This partnership demonstrates that the two companies are willing to work together and share expertise in the field of AI.

However further research shows that Google is also aware of the limitations faced by GPT3 according to the Business Insider although Google is still hesitant to release its AI chatbot LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Application)

But why is Google interested in ChatGPT?

Simple!
Google generated about $ 208 billion in 2021 alone, and if GPT3 works the way it should, people may no longer click on Google's links and adverts. No wonder Google has directed its top staff to switch gears towards developing a prototype and a portfolio of AI-related technology.

We all have to wait and see where it all leads to.
