Building Calculators and Content Add-ons in ChatGPT

Okay, let's talk about content add-ons that we can build with ChatGPT. The main goal here is to upgrade your existing page with a valuable link bait add-on that will attract FREE external links (from Reddit, thematic forums, etc.). You could also create small services with the same approach.

For example, let's take one of these calculators from https://smallseotools.com and try to recreate it with our own hands, and maybe even do better in some ways. The starting point here is quite simple - I have NO IDEA how to do programming stuff. So, it could happen that the code I end with looks like crap, but the main goal is to get things done.

Let's try to create our own Word Counter similar to: https://smallseotools.com/word-counter/. As a stand-alone small service, it can look something like this (monetized through donations/ad-sense) - https://wordstotime.com.

In general, if you have a niche site where you need various atypical calculations, then all this will work very well. The development of such calculators won't be cheap and owners of content sites usually don't spend much on such things. I hope we can finish everything in an hour (or two 🙂 for free.

Starting with queries to ChatGPT

Let's start with a prompt like that:

Create HTML, CSS and Javascript for the tool that does the following: "Word Counter that counts the number of words and characters in your text. A Word Counter will automatically count the number of words, characters, sentences and paragraphs. A Word Counter should also finds the top words used, reading time and speaking time."

We get a response:

HTML

CSS

JS (shortened screenshot a bit)

You could get my file with all the code to test out - here.

Add the code to WordPress and check if it works

Let's take this code as a base one, see if it works at all, and try to improve it with the same queries to the AI. To test it out we need to install the WP Coder plugin.

In the panel on the left, find Wow Plugins - WP Coder and click Add New where we will transfer the code from ChatGPT to the actual WordPress post.

Add the final result to the page using the shortcode that will appear on the right side near the Save button and see if it works. Made a screenshot of the ver. 1.0:

The calculator above already worked as shown in the screenshot. Let's finalize it:

• Add a table of the most frequently used words: create a table with % of the most used words in text.
• Ask the machine to rebuild the entire code with new functions: rebuild html, css and javascript code together with new functions.
• Add design or CSS responsiveness through make it responsive on all devices.

And then we look at the new version that you can test yourself.

The Result

Copy any text and paste it into the field:

And add a description to the same page - "Why do I need Word Counter?", for example - write 5 reasons to use Word Counter tool

5 Reasons to Use Word Counter Tool

1. Writing productivity: A Word Counter tool helps you track the number of words you have written, allowing you to set writing goals and monitor your progress towards them.
2. Editing efficiency: By providing a character count, sentence count, and paragraph count, a Word Counter tool makes it easy to identify areas of a text that may be too long or too short, and to make appropriate adjustments.
3. Time management: A Word Counter tool can help you estimate the time it will take to read or speak a text, giving you a better sense of how long you should spend on a project or assignment.
4. Vocabulary analysis: A Word Counter tool can help you identify the most commonly used words in your text, allowing you to improve your vocabulary and avoid repetition.
5. Writing style analysis: By providing statistics on sentence and paragraph length, a Word Counter tool can help you identify patterns in your writing that may indicate a lack of variety or coherence.

In conclusion

Yes, you can add a text reading speed slider, a clearer design, and more functions. That's not the point, and I don't want to overcomplicate things, because I urge you to try everything yourself first. After all, this is the very no-code that webmasters who are not involved in anything more than working with content have been waiting for for quite some time.

And what to do with this - whether to go freelance or to make your own projects - is up to you.
