Automated Blogging Basics

Content Marketing - The Old Way

You probably already know that content marketing is routinely publishing content to attract website visitors. You may not know that newer search algorithm updates are now checking to see if the content is not only of high quality but also helpful.

Of course, having to write all that content yourself can be a real pain. And it can be expensive to pay a good writer to do it for you. Gone are the days of using an article spinner because the results are generally so-so.

More recently, of course, you can now use Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms, like OpenAI and Bard, to write articles. Even so, it's still typically a manual process - having to craft a decent prompt to write one article at a time. Oh, then there are also the multiple re-dos to factor in.

If only there was something better...

Content Marketing - The New Way

If you're thinking there has to be a better way, you're in the right place.

Buckle up because I'm about to blow your mind with the benefits of this game-changing way of creating and posting articles on websites. 

But first, a definition...
