From disorganized writer to content machine


Hi Reader,

I’ve worked with several talented editors over the years.

I worked with a few editors when I was a journalist.

One of these editors threatened to fire me because I missed my news deadlines.

He was right to do so!

As a young journo, I was shockingly disorganized.

Another taught me the importance of brevity.

A maxim best expressed like this:

“I didn’t have time to write you a short email so I wrote a long one instead.”

As an indie author, I spent thousands on editors for my books.

I discovered an author should never edit all of their drafts without help.

Whether you’re writing books, social media content or working for a client…

Working with an editor is a great way to improve your skills and earn more.

Their feedback can also help you smash the publish button faster.

The problem?

Not every creator can afford to hire an editor.

Enter AI.

AI is the editorial assistant every content creator needs.

And no, I don’t mean firing up ChatGPT and plugging in a basic prompt.

I spent several hours writing and creating an editorial bot for my business.

Now, it checks my writing and points out mistakes.

It helps me repurpose content for social media, too.

That frees me to work with clients and focus on creative projects (and not gaming algos).

You can easily create a bot like this… and dramatically cut down the time you spend editing.

That’s a neat way of growing your business with content.

Next week, I’m running a workshop you’ll like:

The AI Repurposer Workshop: Plan your Next 90 Days of High-Performing Content in 90 Minutes.

It takes place on Wednesday, 4th September at 1500 GMT+1 / 1000 EST. I’ll run the workshop and send out a recording to ticketholders.

I’ll show you my exact process and give you an editorial bot you can use for your content strategy.

Register now.

Write on,

Bryan Collins

Hi Reader, We’re less than 30 hours away from my live masterclass with Matt McWilliams: How to 10X Your Sales WITHOUT Wasting Your Time on Social Media or Expensive Paid Advertising...All in About ONE HOUR a Day It’s a free online workshop. Matt is revealing his classified playbook for finding affiliates and starting and scaling an affiliate program.

Hi Reader, I worked with Matt McWilliams a few years ago. I even interviewed him for my podcast. He’s the guy successful entrepreneurs like Michael Hyatt, Ray Edwards, Jeff Goins, Lewis Howes, and Brian Tracy call to manage their affiliate programs. He’s created a confidential playbook for running massive product and book launches. He uses this confidential playbook to 10X the sales for affiliate programs in every conceivable niche for companies small and large (like Shutterfly and Adidas)....

Hi Reader, Yesterday, I told you about my golden rules for affiliate marketing. In case you missed it: Promote products and services only if you use or trust it. Promote a product or service only if it adds value to your audience. Here’s an example: I wanted to overhaul my social media profiles earlier this year. I was rocking out with a headshot of me 8 years ago when I had more hair and fewer wrinkles! My pic wasn’t disingenuous, but I felt like a Tindr guy who turns up in real life and...
