It will be interesting to see if ChatGPT's ideas work.

We shall see! Not all of the ideas were bang on or things I'd use. But, some of them were, and others were seeds to inspire ideas.

Yeah I wasn't sure how well those ideas would work but feeding ChatGPT and scanning everything is interesting.

Well, over half of my own ideas don't work either ;-)

The thing is where using it's data analysis skills to analyze our data and that alone was invaluable for understanding the commonalities between my top posts.

Would love to know I use chat GPT to do all my editing gramma, spelling, clarity, flow and punctuation. This sounds really informative..

Thanks for sharing!!

I'd browse through the content on the publication (https://mattgiaro.substack.com/) as Matt shares a wealth of information on using ChatGPT and AI for that.

Love the idea! I tried to use the built-in download feature which provides a Zip file of all post - but no analytics. Looks like manual export is faster.

Unfortunately, at this time, yes. I am confident they will improve exports or open the API in the future but for now we have to put a little time into it.

Quite a bit of work - but so much worth it! We could easily use just the posts from the zip archive download - but without adding manual analytics we don't know which posts to focus on for future work. Thanks again, Landon!

No worries. It took me less than 2 hours to detail out 100 posts so its not too bad.

I love this, but I'm just trying to get enough of an audience to get measurable data. 😆

There is little to do, to improve our future we must analyze the mistakes of the past. Nice Post 👏

Interesting idea. I as recently working with a doctoral student who was having difficulty breaking his research into topics and subtopics. His committee chair suggested he throw the whole chapter at ChatGPT. The Ai was surprisingly good at helping to narrow down the topics. It still needed humans to sift through it to make sense, but we probably saved several hours.

It's great that you're doing something with the data. Some don't use it or they may allow it to collect dust.

I've been looking for this post for the last couple of days because I came across it and wanted to read it fully! Just found it again and subscribed, thanks for sharing this! I've been writing on Substack for nearly a year now and wanted to start figuring out ways to align my writing with my audience's main interest. This is super helpful!

Love the way you put everything in a CSV. - Although I haven't checked yet, but does the backup store your post stats along with the content that's on your Substack? Or is it just a backup of the content and nothing else?
