Not bad, right? These kinds of productivity gains don’t come around often (not in the 10+ years since I started my blog), and AI tools are making it possible, right now.
Naturally, not every article I create through this AI-assisted process takes exactly 2.25 hours—that’s an average so far as I get used to this new content workflow and I expect more gains over time. Plus, some articles will always be more in-depth and require more of my time during the editing process.
I also still work with a couple of fantastic freelance writers who help me create more high-quality first draft content for my blog (faster than I’m able to do, just by myself) & they’ve been implementing RightBlogger into their processes too.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the things that’ve changed with my new AI blogging process:
Less Time Deciding on an Angle: Unless I’m approaching a blog topic with a very specific angle australia phone number library in mind, I usually let RightBlogger decide how to best approach a topic I’m blogging about—and if I don’t like the outline, I’ll made adjustments to it before generating a full article. Even cooler, if I don’t like the first article I’ve generated, I’ll just edit the prompt options a little, re-submit it and get a completely new article in minutes.
Less Time Researching (More Fact-Checking): Luckily by now, I’m very well-versed in all things “blogging” that I publish about here, so I don’t often need to do a ton of research for an article, but still—the AI behind-the-scenes in RightBlogger almost always does a great job of sourcing the correct information I want for a blog post. Still, it’s extremely important to fact-check the content AI produces, because it’s prone to make accidental mistakes. In particular, any facts, figures or statistics, I take extra care to double check.
Zero Time Outlining: RightBlogger’s outlining process usually generates a stellar outline on its first go, but I find I’ll still usually make revisions—adding new sections, removing something I don’t need to cover, changing the order of the sections it’ll write, and giving the prompt a little more detailed information to work with.
WAY Less Time Writing: This is where almost all of the productivity gains come from when you add AI into your blogging process. With RightBlogger, we’ve worked hard to fine-tune the prompts we’re sending to OpenAI, so that you’ll get back a really solid, SEO-friendly first draft of a blog post to work with. AI has helped me reduce my writing time on an article from between 3 to 8 hours (sometimes much, much more) down to around 2 hours of writing combined into my new editing process.
Significantly More Time Editing: The big trade-off when adding AI tools into your content workflow, much less writing and much more editing. It takes time to thoughtfully inject your own humanity, voice, tone, style, experience and examples into an article when you’re not writing it from start to finish, yourself. Along with fact-checking while editing, I find I’m often still writing a good amount of content throughout my AI first drafts—stories, examples, newly inspired sections that come to me while editing—to make these articles uniquely my own.
I’ll be updating this guide soon with more in-depth best practices on how to blog with the assistance of AI tools.
