Here we have attached an example showing how to generate a blog idea.
Say we pick, ‘The Best Gift Ideas for Book Lovers: A blog around the best gifts for book lovers.’ as our blog idea. Now we have to paste it to our google document and move on to generate our blog introduction using this blog topic.
The Blog Introduction
Now, after getting the blog idea, it is time to think about your blog introduction. So, you have to change the Use Case from ‘Blog Idea’ to ‘Blog Intro’ while the brand name stays the same.
After doing all this, replace the brand description with the blog idea or the blog title that you got using the writecream long-form editor. Also, after adding the blog title, change the tone of your blog as required.
Once you are done with the mandates, click on write for me. You will see a variety of introductions on your screen. Choose the one that suits your niche and your brand.
After choosing the intro you like the best, copy it and paste it into your google doc. Keep in mind that you select the intro carefully as it is the first paragraph of your article and it defines the layout of a blog that consists of section headings.
Here is the example. In this case, the brand name is the same while the blog topic has been changed to the blog title we generated in the previous step. Now, you have to select one paragraph as your blog introduction among these and move on to the next step.

Our advice
We recommend you combine various outputs into one to generate a large piece of text for each section. It will help the word limit and the optimization of your article. If you are unsure of how to do that, then select some outputs and arrange them in a suitable manner and connect them using suitable conjunctions like ‘besides’, ‘in addition, etc. break them into paragraphs however it suits you. Blogs need a certain word count and keywords according to different SEO practices, you should always go according to what your SEO suggests and not blindly copy-paste everything.
As you see that there are various paragraphs displayed under the Blog heading expander. It is possible that you want to combine two or more paragraphs into one. We will choose two paragraphs from the example above and generate a new paragraph by arranging them and connecting them accordingly.
‘The holiday season is a time for giving and receiving gifts. For book lovers, the holiday season means a ton of books. From classics to new releases, it’s hard to know what to get your book-loving friends this year. But one thing that we know is that there is no better gift than a book.

If your book lover likes to read with a cup of tea, get them a mug. If your book lover likes to read near a fireplace, get them a throw blanket. These are just some of the ideas for the perfect gift for your book lover. In this blog, we’ll go through a few of our favorite gift suggestions for your friends that love reading.’
