How I Write With AI


Hi Reader

I've built a Claude AI project for writers.

It’s dramatically improved my content creation process.

Here's how it works:

I write my initial content (usually a 400-800 word email) based on research, personal stories, and reader feedback.

Then, I use Claude AI as an editorial assistant to:

  • Analyze potential flaws in my arguments
  • Identify gaps in my thinking
  • Suggest supporting content
  • Help repurpose the content for social media

I'm not using AI to write. I enjoy writing too much to hand that over. I create content using personal stories and insights.

But, I use AI as a thought partner to work on what I’ve created, spot gaps and future pieces of content. Watch the video below to see my project in action.

It ends with creating a high-ticker offer like coaching and consulting. Building your content business is profitable, rewarding, and easy to do. That’s how I spend my days. I have no illusions,...

Hi Reader, Being polite to your list is expensive. I was chatting with a small business owner the other day. They’ve built a reasonably sized email list of several thousand subscribers. But they only send a newsletter about what their business is up to once or twice a month. “Why don’t you want to email your list more often?” I asked. “I don’t want to annoy my list,” the owner said. That’s a common objection from many list owners. But being over-polite is costing him sales. When I fired up...

Hi Reader, For years, I ran a content publishing business. I published 100s of articles a month with the help of a team of freelance writers. I got millions of page views from SEO. I earned five figures a month from display ads and affiliate revenue. Last year, I let my editorial team go. I sold off most of my niche websites. And I changed my business model. Now, I run a daily newsletter. And I provide content strategy and coaching services to a few high-paying clients. When I posted about...
