My AI Blogging Process: How I Create Content 3x Faster

In short, I’m able to publish more content, faster. About 3x faster.

AI-generated content has quickly become a way to get a fantastic first draft in just minutes, to speed up my writing workflow.

Here’s a graphic illustrating everything that’s changed in my content creation process with the introduction of AI tools:

AI-Writing-Workflow-Diagram-Using-AI-Writing-Tools-and-AI-Article-Writers-1

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 already 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.

Frequently Asked Questions about AI Blogging Process

Here are some of the most common questions I get asked about using AI in my blogging workflow.

How do you use AI in blogging?

AI, or artificial intelligence, has changed many fields, and writing is no different. AI can be used to speed up the process of writing blog posts, finding keywords, coming up with titles, and even suggesting content ideas. The most popular AI tool at the moment is ChatGPT. You can ask ChatGPT to write just about any type of content you want in any format. Bloggers who don’t want to figure out how to write ChatGPT prompts can use AI tools like RightBlogger and Jasper. No matter what tool you use AI can also help you quickly write new blog posts and publish more.

What is AI in blogging?

AI in blogging means using a Large Language Model (LLM) to improve different parts of the blogging process. This includes things like analyzing data to find trends and patterns, coming up with ideas for content, making sure content is optimized for search engines, and even automating jobs like scheduling social media posts and email campaigns.

By using AI in your blog, you can save time and work while also making the material better and more relevant. AI is quickly becoming an important tool for bloggers who want to stay competitive. It can do everything from make headlines to analyze how engaged an audience is.

Is there an AI that helps you write blogs?

Yes, there are a few tools that use AI that can help you write blogs. Some of these tools include ChatGPT, RightBlogger and Jasper. These tools can help with many things in your blogging workflow including writing articles, coming up with ideas, and even writing meta descriptions. Though these tools can help speed up the writing process, it’s important to remember that they can’t replace your experiences, creativity, and critical thinking. In the end, the blog post’s quality will rest on how well you can offer unique insights and perspectives.

Can AI blogging process replace human writers?

No, AI writing can’t completely take the place of human writers. It can automate the process of making first drafts, but it can’t match the creativity and originality of a real writer. There will never be a replacement for experiences lived by a writer. It can, however, be used to help human writers and improve the amount of content that is written.

Will AI replace blogging?

AI has made a lot of progress in the past few years, leading some to wonder if it could one day replace all human writers. Even though AI can quickly and easily create content on a wide range of themes, it’s unlikely that they will soon replace all human bloggers. AI might be able to write correct and informative articles, but it doesn’t have the creativity and personal touch that human bloggers do.

Ryan, been an ardent follower of yours for some time now. However, I’ve admittedly been a little skeptical of the use of AI with content generation for blogging. I agree it can make sense for other pieces e.g. keyword research, but what about the actual blog post generation? Does it work for all niches, like would it work equally well for a travel blog? It’s unclear to me (in the travel blog niche at least) that AI can generate a blog post that matches what I would want to write about a particular location I’ve just visited. Or am I missing the boat here – maybe readers don’t care about the personal touch?

FWIW, I speak as someone whose profession has been ML/AI for 15 years.

  Great article. I would add my perspective to the query for a travel blog in my experience – AI will help with the article, but it won’t replace a travel blogger. Information needs to be double-checked (it happens that they make up wrong information) and supplemented with personal observations.

  As a reader, I’m interested in the personal touch, that’s why I read Ryan and not other similar blogs, just as I have my pick of travel blogs that I enjoy.

  Thanks so much for the kind words, Sanjay! I’d invite you to come try the article writer inside RightBlogger… I know it’ll impress you 🙂 I’ve been finding it works shockingly well for my hiking blog content, in addition to every other niche I touch (sales, marketing, productivity, etc).
  
  Here’s the real magic of AI tools like RightBlogger… they create good enough first drafts that free you to be creative in your content process. Check out the graphic near the top of this post and you’ll see what I mean… less time researching, writing a first draft that always get overhauled in my process at least, so I can spend more time swinging through to add in during the editing process my personality, voice, tone, style, examples, life experiences, etc. It’s honestly been a lot of fun doing content this way, in addition to the time saving benefits.
