2) The Stack (Keep it Simple)

Don’t subscribe to 10 tools. Pick one per category:

  • Text: ChatGPT (Plus) or Claude 3 (Sonnet).
  • SEO: Google Search Console + Ahrefs/Semrush.
  • Design: Canva (Magic Studio) or Midjourney.
  • Video: CapCut or Descript.
  • Quality: Grammarly + Human Brain.

3) The Winning Workflow (Quality + Speed)

🟢 Step A: The Brief (Human)

Never ask AI to “write an article.” It will be generic.
Ask for:

  • Target Audience
  • Core Promise
  • 3 Key Arguments
  • CTA (What to do next?)

🟢 Step B: Production (AI)

Prompt to copy-paste:

“Act as a Senior SEO Copywriter. Write a blog post based on this brief: [INSERT BRIEF].

  1. Write a catchy H1.
  2. Create an H2/H3 outline optimized for ‘People Also Ask’.
  3. Write the draft. Tone: Professional but accessible. No fluff.”

🟢 Step C: QA (Human)

  • Fact Check: Are the numbers real?
  • Tone Check: Does it sound like you?
  • Value Check: Did you teach something?

4) 3 Prompts to Save 10 Hours

1. The “Anti-Boring” Prompt

“Rewrite this paragraph to be punchier. Remove all adjectives. Use active voice. Make it sound like a human talking to a friend.”

2. The “Repurposing” Prompt

“Turn this blog post into 3 LinkedIn posts.
Post 1: Contrarian opinion.
Post 2: List of tips.
Post 3: Short story/case study.”

3. The “SEO Gap” Prompt

“Analyze these keywords: [KW1, KW2]. What questions are people asking that my competitors aren’t answering? Give me 5 H2 ideas.”


5) Checklist: Is it Ready to Publish?

✅ Does it have a clear angle (not just “AI is good”)?
✅ Are there 2+ real examples?
✅ Is the internal link to the Pillar article there?
✅ Did a human read it fully?


Conclusion

Use AI to accelerate production, but keep control over strategy and quality.
