Content Can Be Tough To Come Up With... Don't Give Up

Content can be difficult to come up with. It's often the reason why business owners don't write blog posts or truely participate in social media discussions.

It doesn't have to be hard. Trust me.

Artificial Intelligence is good for some stuff and not so good for other stuff. One thing it's good at is giving content ideas for a subject/topic.

Ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc. for 10 topics about what you want to write about and guess what? It'll come up with some great ideas.

You can then ask it to give you an outline for a certain word blog post that you can follow.

This is where you SHOULD stop. Don't have AI write the piece for you. Instead write it yourself. If you get stuck on how to explain something ask AI to help.

AI is a great writing partner. It's not a good replacement. Not yet. It probably never will.

Recently, I had a small business come to me with a really small budget to write 2 blog posts a month for them. Their budget was REALLY minuscule, but with the help of AI I'm able to crank out two 300 word post for them a month. Because I'm taking what AI gives me and writing beyond the prompts and ideas, I can iterate faster and do the posts for right price.

Ultimately, whether you hire a copywriter or do the writing yourself. AI can help. It can't replace.

What do you think? Are you using AI to help you with your writing? How? Let me know! I'd love to know.
