The Content Treadmill
Every marketer knows the feeling. You need to publish consistently. The algorithm rewards frequency. Your competitors are everywhere.
But creating quality content takes time. A single blog post: 4-6 hours. A week of social content: 3-4 hours. Monthly email campaigns: 5-6 hours.
Multiply that across clients, and content becomes a full-time job. Or three.
The AI Content Revolution
AI doesn't replace writers—it multiplies them. Here's how our content process evolved:
Before AI
- 4 blog posts per month per client
- 3 social posts per week
- 2 email campaigns per month
- 1 content person per 3 clients
After AI
- 16 blog posts per month per client
- 5 social posts per day
- 8 email campaigns per month
- 1 content person per 10 clients
Same quality. 4x the output.
The Content Creation Workflow
Here's exactly how we use AI for content:
Blog Posts
Step 1: AI Research Give the AI Content Writer a topic. It returns:
- Top 10 ranking articles analysis
- Common questions people ask
- Unique angles not yet covered
- Suggested outline
Step 2: AI First Draft The AI creates a complete first draft based on:
- The approved outline
- Your brand voice guidelines
- Target keywords
- Desired length
Step 3: Human Enhancement A human writer:
- Adds personal experience and examples
- Inserts proprietary data or insights
- Refines the voice and flow
- Ensures factual accuracy
Step 4: AI Optimization Back to AI for:
- SEO optimization
- Readability improvements
- Internal linking suggestions
- Meta description and title options
Time comparison:
- Old way: 5 hours per post
- New way: 1.5 hours per post
Social Content
Social is where AI shines brightest:
-
One blog post → 20 social posts
- AI extracts key quotes
- Creates thread versions
- Generates image captions
- Writes platform-specific variations
-
Trend monitoring
- AI watches your industry
- Suggests timely topics
- Drafts rapid-response content
-
Scheduling and optimization
- Automatic best-time posting
- A/B testing copy variations
- Performance-based adjustments
Maintaining Brand Voice
The #1 concern with AI content: "Will it sound like us?"
Here's how we solve it:
Voice Training
Feed the AI:
- 10+ examples of your best content
- Brand guidelines document
- Tone descriptors (casual, authoritative, etc.)
- Words you use (and words you don't)
Voice Consistency
Every piece goes through:
- AI voice-check against guidelines
- Human review for authenticity
- Client approval on first few pieces
After the initial training, AI-generated content is often indistinguishable from human-written content.
