What you'll need
1
Open the Blog Post Workflow

From the Jasper dashboard, click 'Templates' and select 'Blog Post Workflow'. This guided flow takes you through outline → intro → sections → conclusion.

💡 Tip: The 'One-Shot Blog Post' template is faster but produces less polished output. Use the workflow for articles over 1,000 words.
2
Fill in the content brief

Enter your title, target keyword, tone of voice, and intended audience. The more specific you are here, the less editing you'll need later.

3
Generate and review the outline

Click 'Generate Outline'. Jasper will produce 4–6 H2 headings. Reorder, add, or delete headings to match your structure before proceeding.

4
Write section by section

For each H2, click 'Write Section'. Jasper generates 150–300 words per section. Review each block — accept strong sentences and regenerate weak ones using Cmd+Enter.

💡 Tip: Generating sections one at a time gives you more control than generating the full article at once.
5
Polish with the AI Editor

Use Jasper's built-in editor to rephrase sentences, adjust reading level, or expand thin paragraphs. The 'Improve' command rewrites selected text in one click.

6
Run a plagiarism check

Before publishing, click 'Check Plagiarism' (requires Copyscape credits). This catches any passages that too closely mirror source content.

7
Export and publish

Copy the finished draft to your CMS, or use the WordPress integration if available. Add your images, internal links, and meta description before hitting publish.
