In a digital landscape where 93% of online experiences start with a search engine, hearing about the rollout SGE might have sent shivers down your spine.

But here’s the twist—you and your strategies aren’t doomed just yet. Despite the scars left by Google’s current usage of the Search Generative Experience, there’s a silver lining that promises not only survival, but thriving opportunities for SEOs like you and me.

With continuous experiments and new tests being conducted regularly, it’s clear that we haven’t seen everything yet. There’s major hope on the horizon, proving once more that adaptability is key in keeping your SEO game strong.

Cutting to the Chase

Below is the latest on what we’ve found as the end of SGE as we currently know it.

Google’s Experiment with “Continue the Conversation”

Google’s latest feature test, “Continue the Conversation,” is a game-changer for how you interact with search results. This isn’t just about finding answers anymore. It’s about exploring topics in depth.

When you use this feature, it feels like Google is guiding you through your curiosity journey. You’re not just getting immediate answers; you’re encouraged to ask more, learn more. Imagine searching for the basics of gardening and then being prompted to explore types of soil or seasonal plants. That’s what this does.

It makes every search a starting point for deeper understanding. Suddenly, your quick queries turn into engaging learning sessions.

The newer “Continue the Conversation” feature in SGE.

Results after “Continue the Conversation” search.

Contextual Relevance

One of the biggest strengths of “Continue the Conversation” lies in its ability to provide contextually relevant results. You know how sometimes you get lost in links that seem related but aren’t quite right? This aims to fix that problem.

When experimenting with this feature, the current result is that it pulls up more search results. The AI feeding you more search results instead of a dominating SGE panel is insanely hopeful for SEOs around the world.

Not only can you appear for the keyword that is searched, but you can also come up if people need to dig deeper and do a follow up query.

This precision keeps information meaningful and directly tied to searcher interests and needs at any given moment.

This is HUGE for people who aim at topical authority. Not only can you dominate initial searches, but any follow up that occurs. If you keep popping up in the conversation, guess who the trusted resource will become real fast? Yeah, you.

AI Integration

The most intriguing part? The AI behind these interactions remains subtly hidden behind scenes rather than overtaking them entirely.

After using “Ask a Follow-Up”, which appears post-“Continue the Conversation,” an AI-powered response comes forward without overshadowing traditional search results.

This approach maintains a balance between leveraging advanced technology and keeping human curiosity at the forefront of online exploration.

Users still feel in control while benefiting from AI’s capability to understand complex inquiries and provide comprehensive insights.

Hope For PPC Campaigns

Where SGE once dominated most of the prime real estate on SERPs. We’re already seeing tests of ads appearing above the SGE panel.

This shows major hope for marketers running PPC. Google knows they need advertisers to survive, and it’s showing in these new placement tests.

Also, A Hope For Organic Traffic.

Not all hope is lost for organic content creators either.

While Google recognizes the need for advertisers, we’re also seeing testing showing they’re also trying to appease content creators. Organic result #1 and Featured Snippets are no longer being seen at the bottom of page one as with the initial rollout of the SGE experiment.

As seen in the image above, tests are happening where organic rank is more integrated with the SGE panel. I think the iteration of SGE that comes out of Google Labs to be live in all SERPs will be more of an integration as seen above.

Impact of SGE on SEO and Content Creation

The end of the Search Generative Experience (at least as the looming, take-over overlord) marks a significant shift in content creation. You now need to concentrate more on the quality and relevance of your content, as well as dominating in topical authority. While you should have been focusing on this before, it matters now more than ever.

Google is making a smart play in putting content back front and center instead of dominating with their SGE panel. They know the hand that feeds them, but still want to utilize their shiny new AI toys. That’s all well and good. Seems like a win all around. I think they should have their cake and eat it too.

Moreover, the relevance of your topics has never been more important. Your articles should closely match user intent. For example, if someone searches for “easy vegan recipes,” they expect to find simple cooking instructions, not an essay on veganism’s benefits. I don’t know about you, but I’m not a fan of the life story before the recipe.

Because of this, there may be more of a shift for content to rank higher if more relevant information is applied to the top of content.

Other SEOs have pointed out that answering a query directly at the top of your content gives you a better chance at appearing in the SGE panel. This already shows the shift of needing to put the most relevant information at the top, and cutting the fluff.

Adaptability Demand

With these changes come new challenges for SEO strategies. Your approach must be more adaptable than ever before.

Firstly, keyword research takes a front seat but with a twist—focus on long-tail keywords that mirror natural language due not only to voice search’s rise in popularity, but because of the conversational way that people will be talking to AI search.

Secondly, updating old content becomes essential. Revisit older posts and refine them according to current standards and practices. Make them more conversational. Put the most relevant content up top. Possibly cut your fluffy, conversational intro and get right to the point.

Lastly, embrace technical SEO improvements like site speed optimization and mobile responsiveness because they still significantly impact user experience. People want answers fast. If the AI deems your content worthy to pull up to the top, but your load is slow, you won’t be deemed worthy for long.

These steps ensure that you stay ahead in this dynamic landscape where adaptability is key.

Hopeful Future

Despite fears that AI might replace human creativity or push out smaller players through dominating SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages), there’s a hopeful future ahead.

• Google recognizes the invaluable role of content creators.
• Collaboration between humans and machines is key to enriching internet resources.

Google knows that without fresh, engaging material from diverse voices across the globe, even the most advanced algorithms would falter.

Therefore they are still dedicated to:

1. Encouraging innovation among SEOs
2. Providing platforms for creative expression
3. Ensuring fair competition remains central to their mission
4. Showcasing ads above any AI generated content

Community Response to Google Search Experience Changes

User Reactions

After the unveiling of new layouts and updates in Google Search, you’ve likely noticed a variety of reactions. Some users find the changes refreshing. They appreciate the modern look and enhanced functionality. This group feels that navigating through information has become more intuitive.

However, not everyone shares this enthusiasm. A portion of users express frustration over having to relearn their way around what was once familiar territory. They argue that these modifications complicate their search experience rather than simplifying it. The sentiment among this group is a mix of confusion and nostalgia for the old layout.

SEO Adjustments

For those in the world of SEO, adapting is part of the game. With every update that Google rolls out, SEO professionals scrutinize how these changes affect page rankings and visibility. They quickly adjust their strategies to align with new algorithms. We survive by adapting, but fear is still running rampant within our ranks.

Feedback Loop

User voices don’t fall on deaf ears. Community feedback plays a critical role in guiding subsequent feature rollouts and adjustments to functionality. Google has to keep users happy, but they also have to keep content creators happy, or they will stop feeding the machine.

When concerns are raised about specific aspects being less user-friendly or when suggestions pour in for features people would love to see, Google takes note. They frequently answer questions on X (formerly Twitter). This ongoing dialogue ensures that future iterations can better meet your needs as an SEO while pushing forward innovation.

SEO Strategies in the Age of AI Content Generation

So what’s the move going forward?

Valuable Content

You should already be doing this. Creating valuable content is now more critical than ever. You must focus on what truly benefits your audience, and add it to the top of your content. This means understanding their needs and providing solutions that are both informative and engaging.

Content that answers questions, solves problems, or entertains can make a significant difference. Don’t churn out generic AI content. Everyone is doing this. It’s a bad look and doesn’t add any value to the conversation.

AI Integration

Incorporating AI tools into your SEO strategy can greatly enhance efficiency. These tools can help with keyword research, content creation, and even link building tasks. However, using AI doesn’t mean sacrificing quality for quantity.

It’s essential to use these tools wisely. They should assist in creating better content faster but not replace the human touch entirely. For instance, an AI tool might suggest keywords based on trends, but incorporating them naturally into your articles requires human creativity. There is a blend of AI and human touch for the best results.

We’re developing a course on creating the right type of content using AI. You can grab early access here for a limited time if you are interested.

Strategic Adaptation

Adapting strategically is vital for maintaining visibility as search landscapes evolve. This means staying updated with the latest SEO practices and being ready to change tactics when necessary.

This involves a lot of reading of experiments others are conducting, as well as experiments of your own.

You might need to adjust your keyword strategy or find new ways to engage with your audience through different platforms like social media or email newsletters. People assume this is the case now as SGE dominates SERPs, but as we’ve discussed SEOs may still win over the SERPs.

Stay Aware

We’re all in uncharted waters as SGE rolls out across 2024. We must all stay aware of the impacts it has on our content efforts.

Google’s journey with “Continue the Conversation,” SGE’s impact on SEO, and the evolution of search and AI content generation have reshaped your digital landscape. You’ve seen changes in search features, user experience, and SEO strategies adapting to AI’s rise. The future of Google Search and SEO practices hinges on staying ahead, embracing change, and leveraging AI for your gain.

Now’s the time to revamp your SEO toolkit. Dive into AI content creation, optimize for the new Google Search experience, and engage with your community to stay on top.

Don’t just watch from the sidelines; be a part of the change. Your move.

The post The End of SGE? appeared first on Master Sales Funnels.

For content creators, Artspace AI offers significant benefits such as drastically reducing the time and effort required to produce creative works, facilitating the exploration of new artistic styles and concepts, and providing a scalable solution for generating diverse content for various projects and platforms.

It also saves a ton of time over searching and finding stock images on various platforms, not to mention it costs WAY LESS to get great images for your content.

The AI Content Boom is here, and ArtSpace.ai is throwing it’s hat in the ring as a frontrunner in the AI Image Generation sector.

According to Grand View Research, “The global machine learning market size is expected to reach USD 96.7 billion by 2025”.

It’s an exciting time that we live in where computers are able to assist us in our content creation to the point that they do much of the heavy lifting.

This is amazing news for small business owners who can’t afford a large marketing team and team of artists or photographers to compete with much larger brands with seemingly bottomless bank accounts.

While AI is still fairly new in the content space, it is making technological advancements in leaps and bounds and machines are learning not only from human-generated content out there, but also from each other.

By taking what is already known and finding out new information for themselves (wild…right?) deep learning is allowing machines to come up with their own solutions to problems.

This is good news for us, and good news that ArtSpace.ai is here to assist us in our image generation needs.

You can already tell that this is going to be a positive review on this fascinatingly helpful tool, but what makes it do good?

Let’s dig deeper.

Ready to Generate Any Image You Can Think Of?

ArtSpace.ai is a crazy new tool that allows you to generate images for your business, just by entering text of what you want.

As of this writing, they have a lifetime deal. Given the developers history, this lifetime deal won’t last forever.

Check it out while you still can!

Claim the Lifetime Deal

What is Artspace.ai?

ArtSpace.ai is an image generation tool driven by artificial intelligence. 

The creators have their own in-house models that calculate how images should be created based upon your prompts. 

If you haven’t used image generation software before, the basic concept is that you think of something, enter text into the prompt box, and the algorithm with try and create a visual for what you are describing.

ArtSpace has some features that I’ve yet to see on other platforms, which is why we highly recommend it above others on the market at this time.

So How Does It Work?

In order to generate images with ArtSpace.ai, you have to start with a text prompt.

Let’s say that we want a nice photo of a business owner in their store to represent us in our candy shop.

You may start with a prompt such as “business owner in their shop”.

With that we get an image like this:

Artspace AI in 2022

Artspace AI in 2024

The first thing I have to say, is that Artspace has made INSANE improvements to their model over the past 2 years, as you can clearly see above. We’ll have a side-by-side comparison on how much it’s improved for the next few examples to show how much this program is really worth the minimal investment.

Secondly, the artificial intelligence doesn’t know that we happen to be a male business owner, or that we own a chocolate shop. We need to be more specific in our prompts.

So we may try and be a bit more descriptive.

Let’s try “male business owner wearing a green apron standing behind the counter of their chocolate shop”.

More descriptive and what we’re looking for to place in our article about friendly, old-school confectionary shops that still exist today (for example).

Here’s that result:

Artspace AI in 2022

Artspace AI in 2024

Our image is getting closer to what we want, but in our mind we’re picturing a green apron, a little bit wider of an angle, and we want the business owner to be a black business owner like we are. We also want to fix the facial features a bit. 

Let’s use the same image as a base, or seed, and see if we can get a result closer to what we’re imagining.

Artspace AI in 2022

Artspace AI in 2024

As you can see, we get a pretty decent image we can use in a blog post about our chocolate shop. There are some issues we can fix using some of the other features the tool offers, and we can see that AI still has some work to do in the way of replicating human hands and faces.

I will say these facial results are better than I’ve seen using other tools, and people within the community are generating flawless faces. It just takes more time, more descriptive prompts, and some trial and error.

What Makes Artspace.ai Different From Other Image Generator Platforms?

Other art generators have communities that share their prompts and examples of images that are generated, and this is great. But the problem here is that you cannot use the exact image as a starting point.

You also cannot edit or expand upon images you’re working on.

Artspace.ai has some amazing features I haven’t seen anywhere else, including painting more of your same image, changing pieces within your image you’ve generated, automatic facial corrections, and more.

Let’s explore some of these unique features this tool offers to AI-Generated Art.

Outpainting

Outpainting is the concept of taking the AI-generated image that we have, and expanding the image beyond its current borders to create more of the image and make it larger.

This is a feature that I haven’t seen in any other AI Art tool out there, and it’s super helpful.

So many times I’ve entered a prompt and created an image, only to wish the computer had included a bit more of the subject. 

With the Outpainting feature, you can simply select the mode, the direction you want to see more of the image in, and push the magic button again.

Using our image earlier, you can see I already expanded to the right, and now will expand to the left using the Outpainting tool.

Before Outpainting

After Outpainting

And you can keep expanding as you wish.

Inpainting

Inpainting is the act of having the AI add details to your existing image. This is another feature that I haven’t seen in other tools.

Inpainting requires using a paint brush to indicate the area in which you want to add something. Instead of simply pressing the magic button, this time we have to rewrite the prompt to indicate what we would like to add to the image.

Now instead of what looks like a tray of golden foil-wrapped chocolate balls, we have a wedding cake in our image.

This is a super cool feature, and I can’t wait for them to improve this further. As you can see the more we add and manipulate our image, some of the features of the man’s face are getting a little distorted. 

If you have problems like this, you can try and fix them further with inpainting, or recover an older version of the image and try again.

Seed Images

An image seed, when it comes to image generation, is a reference point for the AI to use in order to generate your new image.

The first way to use a seed image is to plug in a string of numbers. You can get this set of numbers from a previous image you created, or from someone else’s image that they saved to the Artspace.ai cloud. 

I was able to get the tool to give me an exact replica of the image that was shown in the community gallery on the first try.

With the seed number, same prompt, and same AI model, we can replicate the exact image to use how we see fit.

Then, if we want to tweak this, we can leave the image and most of the prompt, and just replace the squirrel with other animals. We get something pretty similar with an ostrich and a German Sheppard.

And yo can keep going in this style with this seed number to your hearts content.

The other way you can use a seed image is to upload your own image.

Here is a result of a chipmunk I pulled from Pixabay, with the prompt to show him holding a martini.

Let’s compare Artspace in 2022 with 2024 again.

Artspace AI in 2022

Artspace AI in 2024

I used the exact same seed image and prompt, and you can see the results are much more clear. This was using the Artspace Nova model.

Formulas

Not sure what type of descriptive words to add to a prompt to make it the way you are imagining?

That’s where formulas come in.

Formulas are built-in suggestions that you can pick from the help enhance your image. Enter the subject that you want, and increase your chances of getting what you want by adding styles, artists, formats, boosters, vibes, and perspectives. 

You can also add your subject and click “Inspire” to let the AI give you it’s suggestion for a formula.

We used to have a section here where we covered the “Facial Enhancements” feature, but that’s no longer needed with the new Photorealism Model that they’ve brought to the program.

Artspace AI in 2022

Artspace AI in 2024

I keep including the comparison of 2022 when they first rolled Artspace out, to 2024, because the change is insane in such a short amount of time. Night and day difference.

Using AI Generated Images In Your Blog Posts

So all of this begs the question, “Can I use AI Generated images in my blog posts?”

Based on every platform I’ve used to create images, they all state that the creator is the owner of the work and may use them for commercial purposes.

Others claim otherwise. 

While AI Images are created from a blank canvas, the algorithms and deep learning models that power these tools still had to learn from somewhere. They sometimes learn by scanning millions of images of artists who have not given their permission for their art to be used to teach such machines.

This can be seen as some AI Image Generators even pull in the signature of artists into some generated works. That why you can sometimes see small, scrawled words that don’t make much sense. This is also why you see these tools suggesting artists that you can model your style after. These are the artists that may have been fed into the algorithm to learn to generate the art.

This creates a murky grey area that is currently being sorted out in the way of the law. ArtSpace.ai mentions this in their FAQ. They plan to keep AI artists updated on the legality of using images. 

The general consensus right now is that you are free to use any images you generate for commercial purposes, but you still don’t own the only rights to the image. Others can take the exact same image you generated and use it for their own purposes. 

This is seemingly created an open, sharable space where anything is game to be used and shared. This may also be where human-created art still stands a chance of surviving. People who want to own the rights to their work will have to still make it themselves, or commission an artist to do so.

For our purposes of generating art for our blogs, ArtSpace.ai serves it’s purpose to let us use our imaginations to create what we need to enhance our written content. We just can’t be angry or sue if others take what we’ve created and use it on their own blogs.

Who is the Company and Creator Behind ArtSpace.ai?

ArtSpace.ai was founded by Nico Engler as a side project to his widely popular Closer’s Copy AI tool. The actual company name is Nico Engler IO.

Nico was actually planning to make the tech behind Artspace as an add-on for Closer’s Copy, but realized that it was a super powerful tool that required its own platform (there is a version of ArtSpace within Closer’s Copy, but without as many features). 

It makes sense that Nico would make another AI tool as Closer’s Copy is a very popular AI Writing Tool that helps you create copy for ads, landing pages, emails, blogs, and more. 

ArtSpace.ai is a perfect complement to this program as you always need creatives to go along with written copy.

How Often Do They Update the Tool?

I know that there is a fear that you will buy the tool, and then never see an update again.

The thing is, in the few weeks that I’ve had the lifetime deal they’ve updated quite a few features. 

The Formula section has been vastly upgraded in UI, and also by adding some awesome features like Inspire and Enhance to help people further with their prompts. 

While on that site today I’ve also noticed that they’ve rolled out V1.1 of the app that appears to be using a different render engine.

I look forward to frequent updates of ArtSpace as the creator hasn’t let his customers down so far with his other software.

What are The Alternatives to Using ArtSpace.AI?

AI content generation tools are in the middle of a boom right now. Not many days go by where a new solution you’ve never heard of doesn’t pop up and advertise itself as the best solution out there.

AI image and art generators are no different, as there are many options out there to choose from.

Here’s a short list of current alternatives you could choose from:

• MidJourney
• AISEO Art
• DALL-E
• StarryAI
• NightCafe
• Fotor

There are plenty more out there, but these are currently some of the top ones out there on the market. There are plenty of unique features within each one, but so far I have found ArtSpace.ai to have some of the most useful unique features (being able to expand your image and edit within your generated image is priceless).

Where can you get ArtSpace.ai?

As of this writing you can still score an unlimited, lifetime license to ArtSpace.ai here.

The lifetime deal is currently 37% off (a one-time fee of $187), but this deal will get more expensive as time goes on.

I got my deal at 50% off just a few weeks ago, and now the discount is already less.

As reference, Closer’s Copy (from the same developer) used to have a lifetime deal, and has since gone to monthly plans starting at $49.99/mo. Nico isn’t playing around here. The lifetime deal is for a limited time until the product begins to take off, and then it goes to monthly.

If you want in on the power of ArtSpace.ai to be able to create quick and limitless content for your business, THE TIME IS NOW!

It’s true that this type of content is popular with readers, and is known to be popular to rank in search engine results.

But what exactly is a listicle, and what makes them so popular among readers?

If you want to create a listicle of your own, you need to have an outline in place.

Creating a listicle outline can be time-consuming and difficult, but it doesn’t have to be.

In this article, we’ll cover what makes this type of content so popular, and then show you how to generate an outline for your list post in under 30 seconds.

First, let’s dive into what a listicle is.

What is a Listicle?

A listicle (short for “list article”) is a type of article that consists of a list of items, facts, or ideas. They are usually written in an odd number of points.

It is typically written in an informal style, and often includes images and videos to help illustrate the points being made.

Later we’ll be going over a tool that will help us find out what points may be good to write about based on our topic.

Why are Listicles So Popular?

Listicles are a popular type of article because they let people know when they will be finished reading.

When you are reading about 23 Fun Tricks to Do With Your Dog, you know that there are 23. It won’t go beyond that, and you can keep in mind as you’re reading how much further you have to go to finish.

On the other hand, when you are are reading The Ultimate Guide to Blogging, you get a lot of good information, but you don’t know when the content will end. You can’t estimate your time commitment to finishing the article.

List formats are also easier to scan. Some points may be interesting to you. Others may not. By skimming the headlines of the numbered list, you can see what relates to you, what doesn’t, and read more about the points that are interesting.

BuzzSumo did a study on the most popular types of blog posts that people like to click on, and listicles came out on top, with 1-10 being the most popular numbers to use.

If you’re convinced now that you want to write a listicle, where do you begin?

We begin with the outline.

How Do You Write an Outline for a Listicle

The first thing you need to do when writing an outline for a listicle has nothing to do with the outline at all.

First on the list is you need to figure out search intent for your keyword. That means typing your keyword into Google and seeing what type of articles pop up. If other listicles are popping up in the top 10 results, you know that Google is ranking that type of content one page one.

If they aren’t there, you may need to pivot to a different type of article to be able to rank. 

Once you decide that a list format is a good choice for your article, you can start the outline.

Outlines can be fairly simple, or a little more complex.

In general it will look something like this:

1. Introduction
2. Definition and initial question
3. Point #1
4. Point #2
5. Point #3
6. Etc. until points are complete
7. Conclusion and call to action

Sometimes there can be a little bit more content before you get into the main points of the article. It all depends how much clarification you need before you get to the numbered portion.

You don’t want to include information for fluff though. Make sure anything you include before the main numbered points is relevant and necessary to understanding the points. High-Quality content is important above all else.

When creating your main points, make sure you have the end goal of your article in mind. What do you want the reader to accomplish by reading your post?

Make sure that everything you include in the numbered points serves this end.

And now that we know what an outline looks like and what to include, let’s look at how we can make one, FAST!

How to Generate a Listicle Outline in Less than 30 Seconds

In order to generate great content that our audience is looking for, we either need to spend a lot of time doing research, or dip into our toolbox of AI content generation tools and speed up the process.

In this example, we will be using the Frase.io. 

Under the section for AI Tools, we want to do a search for “Listicle”. This will pull up a few tools, but we are looking for “Listicle Generator”.

As you can see, this will give us headings for our numbered list, but will also generate some basic paragraphs for us as well.

Once we click into the tool, we can select our language, and enter the title of our blog post we want to outline. We also need choose how creative we want the AI to be. I usually pick 3 out of 5 to give the algorithm a little room to play.

As we click generate, we will wait a few seconds and we will get a result like below. This took 15 seconds for the AI to think about and show the results.

We can take or leave the paragraphs as we want. I definitely wouldn’t use them as-is, because Google doesn’t like straight AI generated content. You may get flagged for spam.

The important thing here is that we have 5 unique ways to serve ice cream, and a written paragraph to give us an idea about what each of those mean. Did you know what a “fun cone” was? I sure didn’t. 

If we want to take this article to the max, we would try each of these types of ways to serve ice cream, take photos, and rate our experience with each.

The bottom line is that we now have our quick outline (and can generate more answers if we want to include more points, or don’t like some of the ones we see), and can continue quickly to the writing of the article.

Steps on How to Write a Listicle

Now that we know how to make an outline, it’s important to take a step back and see where this fits in the overall process of creating our listicle.

Here are the 5 basic steps it takes to write such an article: 

1. Brainstorm Ideas: Before you start writing anything, it’s important to brainstorm ideas. Think about what topics would be interesting to your audience and which ones they would find useful.
2. Research Your Topic: Once you have a list of ideas, prioritize them and start researching the most important one. Look up facts and statistics related that relate to your topic, and make sure you have all the information you need to write an informative listicle. Think about where you want people to be at the beginning of the article, and what you want them to come away with at the end. Research anything that will help you get them to that end.
3. Create an Outline: Once you’ve done your research, it’s time to create an outline for your listicle. Use the previous sections of this article to guide you in creating your outline quickly, and with headings people will actually be interested in.
4. Write Your Listicle: You can use a bit of the generated content to flesh out your article, but you mostly want to write this yourself. AI is great for generating ideas and getting unstuck when you have writer’s block, but it’s still best to create the blog post with your own voice. Write out a draft of your listicle.
5. Proofread and Edit: Once you’ve finished writing your list post, it’s important to proofread and edit it before publishing. Revisit your goal of where you want people to be by the end of the article, and see if your content has helped them reach that end. Add any SEO tweaks and optimizations you need, any affiliate links or links to your product pages, and also make sure to link any sources you are referring to. If you used AI to generate any of the content, make sure it sounds good, and that you are rewriting parts of it so it uses your voice and perspective.

The outline is the center point of this entire process. A great outline will help you plot out your audience journey as they read through the blog post to make sure your article flow makes sense and is helping people reach their desired goal.

The outline is the bulk of the work, and we now have a way to generate one extremely quickly.

With what you’ve read so far, you now have the basic knowledge you need to create thorough listicles for your audience. Be sure to check out Frase.io and speed up your process.

For the rest of this article we will be going over tips on enhancing your listicle and really making it shine above the rest.

But How Do You Write An Introduction for a List Post?

While people like to skim through listicles, it’s still important to have a great introduction to pull people in. It’s not just about the numbers.

The introduction is meant to hook people into the subject and give them a reason to want to scroll down to your numbered points to begin with.

It should be very conversational, let people know why they should care to scroll on, and make a promise to them about what they will come away with once they read through to the end.

Think of the introduction as a pre-frame for people’s minds before taking in the numbered points. What do they need to know before the points will be helpful? Include this in the intro section before you start listing off numbers.

Does a Listicle Need a Conclusion?

While most people click through to your article to read your numbered points and skim the information, they will still be looking for a wrap-up and directions afterwards.

Even if your listicle is fun and zany, you want to have a conclusion in place with some type of CTA.

You wrote your content for a reason. Whether you want people to sign up for your affiliate offer, get a consultation for your service, or just to sign up for your email list to “get more fun posts like this one delivered to your inbox”, you want to have some type of call-to-action in place.

Not only is it a waste of a click and readthrough if you don’t, but you are doing the reader a disservice.

If they are there for a fun read, you are depriving them of more fun reads in the future if you don’t ask them to sign up for your email list.

If they are looking for a software to solve their problem and you don’t include your affiliate link and bonuses, they are going to be left searching elsewhere to find a solution.

If they are looking for a service to help them level up, again, you are not helping their cause by simply listing out your points and ending the article.

Include a good, concise conclusion to your listicle to complete the piece. You will only look bad if you don’t.

What Not to Do When Writing a Listicle

There are a few rules you should follow for what not to do when writing your listicle. There are probably more, but here are the biggest:

• Don’t write a listicle that is too long or too short for the topic you are covering. Don’t add points as fluff just to hit a certain number of list items.
• Don’t use overly complicated language that will confuse readers. People want light a breezy and easy to skim.
• Don’t forget to proofread and edit your list post before publishing it online. Grammar mistakes will be caught, even by skimmers.
• Don’t rely solely on AI generated content for your listicle. Make sure you are using your own voice and perspective as well. This goes for this type of content as it does any other blog post. Don’t just crank out AI-generated content. Add a human touch to everything.
• Don’t create a list post without a clear CTA. These types of blog posts are great for getting clicks, but you still need to think about your business and the end goal of those clicks. Give people somewhere to go when they are done reading.

Using Listicles in Your Content Marketing

We’ve already discussed how listicles help drive more clicks to your website.

It’s also important to mention that they help break up the monotony of other blog posts.

Even if you are a strict professional such as a lawyer, you need to have some variation in your content titles and styles to keep readers interested.

If all of your articles begin with “How to _________” and you write large chunks of texts on how to complete a process, readers will get fatigue from having to read through so much.

If every one of your blog posts is “__________ review” and you only write reviews on single products, your readers aren’t going to see any value after they find the first product that solves their problem.

You have to dig deep, see what Google is ranking high based on search intent, and create THAT type of content in order to be considered for ranking. 

Listicles help give readers a lot of information in a quick, skimmable, format. Make sure to include them in your content plan.

Usually what you get are eyes that don’t look quite right, and hands that definitely aren’t human. Not to mention you get too many limbs, or very strange features on a dog.

I have to say though, this is the first time I’ve been absolutely trolled by an AI art generator.

What I was Aiming For

I was creating a page for my blog, AI Content Hub, where people could discuss the implications of AI and what their thoughts were on whether or not AI was a good or bad thing for the world.

I was trying to prompt t]he program to give me an evolutionary chart showing a human evolving into a robot. This was meant to symbolize the human vs. robot aspect at work here, and whether we were evolving by using AI for art and content generation, or creating something more sinister.

The final result I ended up with is on the page linked above, but it’s definitely not the first restult I got when entering the prompt.

What I Got Instead (Trolled)

I still can’t explain why I got the result I did, other than the AI was trolling me.

Here was the prompt I used:

“evolutionary chart of a human evolving into a robot, photorealistic, 4k resolution and 4k and 8k and beautiful and blender 3d, dark background, colorful, full body”

And here is the result I got.

I’m sorry. What the actual…?!?!

In case you’re not familiar with the Circle Game (read: didn’t go to junior high in the U.S.), the object, if you can call it that, is to hold your index finger and thumb together below your waistline. If you can trick someone to looking at the circle you get to punch them in the arm.

No, it never made sense to me either, but I was highly aware of its existence.

And what is this robot doing? 

Clearly playing the circle game.

Who is this (Possibly First?) AI Troll?

After getting over the initial bafflement of seeing this seemingly unrelated image pop up, I decided to use the Outpainting feature that ArtSpace.ai has to expand the image and see what this jokester looked like.

We have a full view of the culprit here:

I’m not sure who this robot is, but he’s giving off some serious Igor vibes to me. Maybe you can help me name him something else in the comments below.

What Does This Trolling Mean?

So, is there any significance to this trolling of me and my AI art creating?

Maybe?

It’s odd that I was using the phrase “evolutionary chart of a human evolving into a robot”. Does the troll mean that we’re getting sucker punched in the arm because we fell for the AI trap already, and humanity is heading for an Artificial Intelligence reconning?

Or was it just a fluke of the program?

Whatever the reason, I’ll be looking over my shoulder for awhile since I’m owed a very powerful punch in the arm by a beastly looking robot.

In case you want to see the whole prompt, result, seed, etc. from ArtSpace.ai to recreate the image yourself, here’s a screenshot showing all the data and the result.

What are your thoughts on my AI troll?

Should I start wearing shoulder padding?

Are we just all doomed?

There are pros and cons to AI content. On one hand, AI can help us produce more creative content faster and more efficiently than ever before. On the other hand, AI could potentially take away many creative jobs in the future that were once though permanently safe.

What are your thoughts on AI content and how it will shape the future?

The post A Discussion About AI appeared first on Master Sales Funnels.

While your content plan should be concise and focused, the more keywords you target efficiently, and the more questions you answer well, will ultimately determine how much traffic your website gets.

In order to be an authority on your subject, you need to thoroughly cover the topics that relate to your business. To do that there are several tools available.

In this article we’ll show you how to use one specific tool within Frase.io to dive deep into your subject and make sure you are covering all topic areas.

Before we get into the strategy using Frase, let’s first discuss the importance of topic clusters.

Building Your Content Clusters

One powerful concept of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is to create topic clusters on your blog. 

A content cluster starts with a main article that gives a good overview of a topic. That article then links out to other relevant subtopics that give more information, and allow visitors to dig deeper into different aspects of the main topic. Each subtopic article will then link back to the main article, creating a nicely linked topic cluster.

Why does Google favor content clusters?

Because it shows you know the topic. It shows your expertise. It is also a good user experience because if the user is interested in learning more about a specific aspect of the main topic, you are providing information for them to go deeper.

One long article that includes every piece of information on the topic possible is not a good user experience. It’s unwieldy, and no one will read it all.

You Know Your Subject, So Why Dive Deeper?

As a small business owner, you likely have a deep knowledge of your subject.

Even so, you don’t know exactly what you audience really wants to learn until you start putting content out there. This is why you need to start with what you know, and branch out from there until your strike gold and get an inpouring of traffic to your site.

Just remember to write in topic clusters, and cross-link clusters with adjacent topics as it makes sense.

Now, in order to get an idea of where diving deep falls in the content creation process, let’s take a look at the steps.

Key Takeaway: To have high authority on a subject, you have to cover your topic thoroughly.

Steps in the Blog Content Creation Process

The steps in the content creation process will vary depending on what content formats you choose to use.

We will be briefly discussing the process as it related to blogging, as this is a powerful tool to growing your website authority online.

1. Brainstorming Content Ideas – Just start writing down what topics you know your current customers are interested in. You are likely a part of your own target audience, so think about what you would want to know if you were new to your business all over again. You can also use tools like Frase, Google Questions, Reddit, and Quora. Write down everything you come across that may seem interesting.
2. Research & Data Collection – New that we have some ideas, we can start putting in research and pulling hard data. This is where SEO tools come into play and we start taking our ideas and finding out what search terms people are actually typing in. Not all content has to be for SEO. If your observation suggests a certain type of content may go viral to your target audience, then make it.
3. Outline Your Content – Begin with the end in mind. Outline where your reader is in the beginning of the article, and then outline the mental process they need to go through in order to get the goal you want them to reach. Ex: My goal for the article you are reading is to take you from being the expert in your business, to being open to exploring other topics your audience may be interested in, so that you may have full authority with Google on your topic.
4. Write the Content – There are many ways you can produce content. You can simply open a Word doc and start typing. You can also use the free Google Docs. There are also many tools that help you optimize for SEO as your write. Just make sure that no matter what, you are writing in a way that makes sense to your audience, not just to Google.
5. Edit & Quality Assurance – Editing your content is vital. Spelling and grammar errors can make your business look bad. Editing is especially important if you are using AI to generate a majority of your content as we talk a lot about on this site. AI content generation is great to help speed up the process, but it still needs an edit for general clarity, but also to make sure the writing style has your voice.
6. Optimize for Search Engines – I like to optimize as I write my content, but it’s always good to give the piece as a whole a once-over to make sure you are as optimized as you can be when you publish.
7. Publish & Promote – Try and stick to one place to publish as much as you can. I always recommend this be your business website. You want to build up your site authority as much as possible to help your pages and articles rank better and reach more people. A high-authority website is a mighty power to wield.

The tool that we will be using to dive deep also helps with most of these other areas.

The part that we will be focusing on here is the Brainstorming and Content Ideas.

While we may know a lot about our subject, we still may not know everything.

And even if we know most things, we can also create content on adjacent subjects we may not have thought about before that will be of interest to our audience.

So how do we take this deep dive and find out how to round out our content?

We use Wikipedia.

Introducing Wikipedia Concept Maps: Your Subject Deep Dive

Wikipedia is one of the biggest reference sites in the world, and as such, they cover a HUGE amount of subjects. Pretty much anything you can think of.

Therefore, it makes sense that we could use this as a resource for our content creation process, and figure out where we may have some content gaps.

Not only that, but their internal linking structure (pages on their site linking to other pages on their site, like the topic clusters we talked about above), are second to none. That means you will get a good picture of how topics relate to others.

The problem that we have is that Wikipedia doesn’t have an easy way to explore its site structure and get the answers we’re looking for. That’s why we need to use the Wikipedia Concept Map from Frase.

Once we access the tool, we can enter our topic and our language, and do a pull of Wikipedia.

Now we get a list of topics that Wikipedia covers to choose from.

When we click on Puppy Nutrition, we get our Wikipedia Concept Map on the subject.

As you can see, we have a lot of topics that directly relate to Puppy Nutrition. The cool thing is, we also get topics that are involved within the broader topic, but don’t necessarily directly relate.

You could have a whole article on Raw Feeding and how it relates to dog nutrition. 

You could also explore B Vitamins, and whether or not they are essential in a dogs diet.

The concept map gives us a ton of ideas to write down and create content on.

We can also click through on any of these topics and get subtopics within each of those.

This is how you can create a full, comprehensive dive into your topic and become a leader in your industry and build authority with Google.

As long as you are creating content that is valuable to your audience, you will be able to build up your website and reach more people.

How to Use Our Deep Dive To Create Competitive Content

Now that we have our topics written down, we can write a lot of boring articles.

Wait, what?

Well, that’s what most people do.

You see, you can’t just write for Google. Google isn’t going to be your audience. Google isn’t going to pay for the dog food you are selling.

We need to write for people first, and Google second. As such, we need to make sure we are writing in a conversational tone, being our human selves, and working to connect with our audience.

Cranking out content about the nutrition of your dog food is great, but why does your audience care? They can get facts anywhere (especially straight from Wikipedia as we can see from this article). 

What we need to do is be interesting, make an interesting heading that people want to click on, and relate the informational side of things with our audiences desires.

This article, for example, isn’t titled “The Wikipedia Concept Map From Frase”.

Who cares, right?

Instead I am teaching you how to deep dive on a subject and connect with your audience. I’m using the same concepts as the first title, but it’s more relatable to an actually helpful goal you are looking to achieve.

If you get stuck, you can always use Frase’s Blog Title Generator to come up with some great angles to take for your topics.

Being a Creative Content Creator While Still Ranking

We need this creativity in our content to make content work for us.

We’re not writing for robots. We’re writing for people. AI Content Generation has come a long way, and now seems to be the time that it is exploding onto the scene.

People are scared the AI is going to take over and content creators will lose their jobs.

Some job loss may occur, but there is good news for us business owners. We can use AI tools like Frase to do our brainstorming and research, outline our content, and even generate some content when we get stuck.

The SEO optimization capabilities of programs such as this allow us to be competitive within search engine ranks, and are the only way we can be competitive online with big competitors that have huge marketing budgets.

We save our precious time, and can still find out what information our audience is craving with a few clicks of the mouse.

AI has a long way until it can add the human touch that we’re able to add to our content, but you can’t go much longer without having this tool in your toolbox.

We wholeheartedly recommend you pick up Frase to add this boost to your business, and if you have any questions, please reach out or comment below.

Even worse than that though, what if Google sees it as spam and puts a penalty on our website? 

As small business owners looking for ways to compete with large competitors with huge marketing departments, it can be tempting to take shortcuts with this new technology, but at what risk?

Let’s discuss how Google feels about AI content, and how we can safely use this revolution in our business.

How Google Feels About AI Generated Content

Google has come right out and said that content created with AI tools is against Google Webmaster Guidelines.

Google’s John Mueller has come right out and said that the search engine considers content of this nature to be spam. This can lead to a manual penalty against your website.

But if that’s true, then what’s all the hubbub about AI content, and how are these AI tools still in business if no self-respected SEO should be touching them?

The reason we keep seeing SaaS products popping up all over the place in the AI space is because what Google considers spam is only a certain type of generated content.

There are nuances involved that can bring AI content out of the spam category and into legitimate content.

In fact, there are many ways you can use AI to generate content for your site without it being considered spam by Google.

So let’s take a look at some of those methods.

Let’s start off with one of the most popular types of AI content generation – machine learning.

Machine Learning

This is where an algorithm learns from data and makes decisions based on its own experience.

It does not require any human intervention or input.

This means that you don’t have to worry about getting someone else to write articles for you, nor do you need to hire writers.

You just need to provide the data and let the algorithm work its magic.

If you’re looking for something quick and easy, this might be the way to go.

But if you want to create high-quality content, you’ll probably want to stick with other methods.

Another common method of generating content using AI is called deep learning.

Deep Learning

Deep learning is like machine learning but instead of having a single algorithm learn from data, multiple algorithms are used simultaneously.

These algorithms are trained together so they can learn from each other’s mistakes.

This allows for more complex models to be built than with machine learning alone.

For example, if you wanted to build a chatbot that could converse like a real person, you would need to train several algorithms separately.

However, if you were to combine them all into a single model, you could get much better results.

This also means that you wouldn’t have to manually curate your training data as you would with machine learning.

Instead, you’d simply feed the bot random conversations and let it figure things out on its own.

And while it may seem like a lot of work, the end result will likely be worth it.

While there are plenty of great tools out there that utilize both learning methods to seem more like human-created writing, as a business owner, we still are missing one key component to the writing: the spin our content needs from our own perspective.

Mixing AI Generated Content With Human Written Text

Do you want to utilize language models like GPT-3 to help speed up your content creation process, but are still a little bit weary of Google posting a manual action against your website?

We here at AI Content Hub recommend using these amazing tools to speed up your workflow, but mix it with human written text.

Let’s face it, it’s going to be awhile before these robots can know our exact style of writing, who we are targeting, how to write towards that audience, and do so while not sounding like a regurgitation of 27 other similar articles on the subject.

We’ve come a long way in a short time, but we’re not there yet.

This is still your business to run, therefore your voice should be in your content.

When you use these tools to speed up your output, there is still content moderation that needs to happen. There are tools, such as Content at Scale, that can crank out an entire article by simply entering a keyword, but you still need to give it a read through.

Go over the output, rewrite bits to give it your voice, and make sure the piece as a whole speaks to your audience.

How the SEO Community Views AI Content

The Search Engine Optimization team as a whole is currently in an era of seeing AI content as a playground to mess around with and see what happens.

While Google itself has taken a strict stance against any automatically generated content, businesses are always looking for an advantage to become bigger, faster, and more efficient. 

If SEOs were turning against AI content generation tools, SaaS companies like Peppertype, Bramework, Content at Scale, and Frase.io wouldn’t be so insanely popular and growing in search volume all the time.

Still, you need to make sure you are being cautious when moving forward in using AI content in your business. 

That’s where something like an AI Content Detection tool can come into play.

Making Sure Auto-Generated Content Passes the Sensors

The use of AI for creating blogs and other content is still fairly new. For this reason, there aren’t a ton of tool out there for AI content detection. 

That said, there are some early front runners you can Google to find and try.

One of the best we have found so far is the free checker from Content at Scale.

Content at Scale is a newer SaaS product that takes your target keyword, and a sentence or two for context, and turns it into a full-blown blog post of more than 2,000 words.

Their system uses a mix of 3 AI engines, NLP and semantic analysis algorithms, crawls Google, and parses all the top ranking content to put it all together.

Since they are using these deep learning tactics, they are in the thick of what makes good AI generated content, and what Google can see as being artificially created. 

For that reason I trust their AI content detection tool.

You can use it for free and check up to 2,400 characters at a time to see if Google will be able to tell your content was created with the click of a button.

Get started with this awesome free tool by clicking the button below, and explore the packages that Content at Scale has to offer in order to explode the amount of high-quality blog content you can create.

There are tools and techniques available to do this, but if you don’t have any idea what needs to be done, it can be quite frustrating.

Fortunately, there are some easy ways for business owners to start improving the quality of their written content. 

And that’s exactly where Frase.io comes in.

As you keep reading this article, we’ll go over how Frase.io can be used to help your website or blog rank higher on search engines.

But first, let us talk about SEO and why it plays a very important role in your online business success.

What is Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?

SEO, or search engine optimization, is the process of optimizing a website for search engines with the goal of earning higher traffic levels and improving the visibility of your site.

The practice has been around for many years, but it is constantly evolving as search engines like Google, Yahoo< and Bing are constantly trying to improve their algorithms to bring the best content to searchers.

SEO has become a very competitive field and has become more important than ever before.

The people who can do SEO well can greatly benefit from the effort.

Imagine having a free billboard day in and day out. That’s what happens once you put forth the time and effort to ranking a web page. It can stay there and provide “free” traffic for months or years to come.

Search engine optimization very important as it helps in:

• Attracting website visitors
• Generating more leads and sales
• Ranking higher in search results

There are a number of things you can do to optimize your content, including using keywords, writing helpful content, and formatting your text for readability.

Outline Builder – This feature makes the whole process of creating an outline for your article a lot easier since it works by analyzing your target keyword and SERPs. Pick a keyword and get questions people are asking on Google and Quora in order to build an outline answering questions you know people are actually asking. There is even a version of outliner completely run by their AI that will build an outline for you.

Templates – The platform also makes it easy to create templates and users can either create their own or use AI templates to speed up the process. View the Template Gallery.

Analytics – Frase allows users to integrate the app with Google Search Console to easily identify specific pages that require optimization. In order to keep pushing your articles to higher ranks, you will need to know what’s close to ranking, and may just need a little extra helpful content to push it to the top. Analytics gives you a quick view of where you top results and opportunities are, as well as articles that are losing rank (decay).

Other SEO tools

AI Writer – The app’s AI writer can help in writing your blog post, but it doesn’t have to take over the entire process. This is great if you’re experiencing writer’s block, or just want a quick explanation about what something is.

Wikipedia Concept Map – As a business owner you know your subject inside and out, but if you really want to take a deep dive and see what you may be missing to cover for your audience, you can generate a Wikipedia Concept Map and explore your industry like never before.

Content Optimization – This tool checks your article and rates your topic score if it has relevant keywords and phrases in it.

My experience

Frase.io has been helping us curate optimized content online with minimal research and effort due to its amazing features.

I personally use it every time I write content for our blogs and it has been a great experience.

As someone who often struggles with finding time to fully research content that’s relevant to the topic, Frase has helped a lot in speeding up the writing process.

All you have to do is enter a target keyword that you want to rank for, and pull up a content brief that will serve as your guide.

The best part is that you also have the option to take a peek at the pages that are ranking high on SERPs, without getting redirected.

This way, you can still be on the platform while looking at your reference. You can also make your article highly competitive by making your content bigger and better. This is how your business gets found. This is how your business succeeds.

One more thing I like about Frase.io is that it helps me whenever I’m experiencing writer’s block when I’m writing thanks to its AI writer. When I want to learn about what a mentioned topic is, or can’t quite find the right words, I hit “Write For Me” and the AI writer spits out a well-written paragraph to get me going.

Frase is an excellent SEO tool that’s highly beneficial for every small business out there looking for a way to harness the power of AI to be competitive without spending a fortune on a marketing team.

Why is it important to optimize your content?

There are a lot of reasons why it’s important to optimize your old content.

One reason is that it helps your pages rank higher in search engines.

This means that you’ll get more traffic to your website, and you’ll be able to reach more people with your message. Even if you article or page content didn’t rank well the first time around, running it through Frase and optimizing it gives it an exponentially higher chance of reaching a good rank.

Additionally, optimized content looks better and is more user-friendly than unoptimized content.

This could simply mean that people are more likely to stick around on your website and actually read what you have to say because it’s more in-depth and helpful.

Interestingly, with it being more helpful, it also makes it easier for people to want to share it on social media, which can help you reach even more people.

In simple words, content optimization is a great way to improve your website’s visibility and reach more people with your message.

The post Frase.io Review: Output More SEO-Optimized Content (Fast) appeared first on Master Sales Funnels.

You know that your competitors are being found on Google by providing answers on their blogs to frequent questions that your customer base has. Having a website with service pages and a contact form just isn’t cutting it anymore.

And the cost of hiring a content creation team with SEO specialists is out of the question, as these can easily run $4,000+ per month.

Enter AI content generation.

Let’s dive into why you need a blog for your business website, who AI technology is rising fast as a cheaper alternative to hiring a team of writers, and learn the best strategy for using AI content while still holding on to that human-written feel that customer long for.

What is a Blog Content Strategy?

Before we delve into the world of artificial intelligence, we need to first discuss why having a blog content strategy is vital to any business.

A blog content strategy is the process of developing an editorial calendar that outlines how you plan to publish different posts, so that you’re able to publish high-quality content for your readers.

You may have heard that blogging is dead, and that’s just not the case at all. When your ideal customers do a Google search for something, they are searching for an answer to their problem. As you’ve likely noticed when you do a Google search for something yourself, it’s not service pages or home pages to websites that usually come up; it’s a blog post answering the question.

This is sad news if you’ve just spent thousands of dollars to get your new 5-10 page website built.

While having this website is a vital foundation to your business, it’s only just the beginning. Now you need to spend time to create helpful content and position yourself as the expert for your audience.

Researching What to Blog About

In order to create a content plan to publish on your website, you first need to know what you should write about.

It doesn’t help to write about random things or whatever comes to mind. You need solid research behind what you write.

There are tons of tools out there to help you find out what you client-base may be asking. The thing is, you don’t necessarily need to start there.

The best place to start your content research is by reviewing what your past clients have asked you.

Questions from past clients is a gold mine for content that others in your audience will find helpful. If you have a sales team, ask them what common questions people have asked them in the past. If you are largely involved in the sales process, think back and write these questions down.

Answering questions is largely what having a blog is all about. Being helpful to current and potential clients.

Not many clients in your business yet? No problem.

Just Google your product or service and see what questions people are asking in the People Also Ask section.

You can also check at the bottom of the search results page to see other results people are searching for.

All of this research can take quite some time, but it’s a good place to start.

Later in this article we will look at an excellent AI solution called Frase that will cut down the time it takes to do the research ten-fold while also provided a deeper look on what it takes to rank. In fact, I’m writing this article in Frase right now.

Making a Content Schedule

Now that you have a large list of topics to write about that will attract your ideal audience and help them answer their questions, you have to put this into an order you plan on writing them. You also have to give the articles deadlines or you won’t get the done.

You can invest in a project management to keep track of your content plan and deadlines. I use Ora.pm to make my content plans.

It’s also easy to make a free Google Sheet spreadsheet that simply has your due date, article title, and keyword you are targeting.

If you are interested in getting a copy of a little more advanced free content plan spreadsheet, check out my AI Content Plan opt-in on this page.

No matter what you use, just know that not having a plan is a major plan to fail. Plan what you will write and include due dates.

Creating the Content

Making the content will take up the bulk of your content creation time, even more so than research.

In order to rank on Google, you have to create content that is thorough, answers the question of the reader, and is also better than every other piece of content out there targeting the same keyword.

In order to do that, you have to take the time to turn your research into something that is bigger and better than your competition.

Google’s minimum requirement for any page or article of content is 300 words. Anything  below that is considered a low-content page and will not have any chance of ranking.

That said, anything that’s under 1,000 words has an extremely low chance of ranking. You have to know your competition and what you need to do in order to make your piece of content the biggest and most helpful work out there.

As I use Frase right now to write this article, it is telling me that I need at least 1,900 words, 6 headings, 5 outbound links, and 8 images to make a piece that’s better than my competitions average.

Information like this is what you need to succeed in content marketing.

It sounds like a lot of work, and it is. That’s why so many businesses farm out these tasks to SEO and content agencies.

But not everyone can afford to hire a full-time employee or an agency to fulfill this essential business need. That’s where AI comes into play, and what makes up a big part of our overall artificial intelligence strategy below.

Promoting Your Content

The last step in a blog content strategy is to promote your content.

True, the main goal should be to rank on Google, but for new blogs and for those who can’t dedicate 24/7 to creating content, other strategies are needed to get eyes on your content.

That’s where a promotion plan comes into play.

You should pick a social media platform where your audience hangs out the most, and share your content there. This will help you attract your ideal audience to your site, and hopefully to your email list, while you wait for Google to rank your article.

AI can help us in the field of promotion as well. I use Missinglettr to crank out a year’s worth of social media posts to multiple platforms for each and every post I publish. This means it does all the work of publishing to my following while I’m able to work on my business and spend time creating more content.

This is artificial intelligence promotion at it’s finest as it helps me draw in traffic continually, and reminds me when it’s time to update old content to try and help it rank better.

There is even functionality with Missinglettr Curate to put your article in a bin for other to pull from and share on their social channels. It really helps save loads of time and maximize outreach.

Is Machine-Generated Content Good For Your Customers?

The rise of the Internet has brought about a new era in content marketing, where businesses are now able to reach out to their customers directly through blogs, social media sites, forums, etc. This is an exciting time for marketers as they can now use these tools to create content that will help them attract more traffic and ultimately convert this traffic into leads or sales.

But what happens when the content being created is no longer created by humans? Is this still a viable source of information for our customers to be reading?

The goal of content marketing isn’t to churn out content for contents sake. There are plenty of article spinner software out there that will help you create hundreds of articles in a matter of hours, or sometimes minutes.

I’m here to warn you that this is not good for your clients, or your brand.

Google is getting smarter in the ways of identifying content that is created using artificial intelligence, and if you are using a program that simply spins what is already out there, you have a few issues.

1) You are not providing any new insights to the world

2) You are not connecting with your customers. You are just respinning what’s already out there.

But don’t worry, not all hope is lost.

The way I look at artificial intelligence when it comes to blogging is as an assistant.

AI can help us get ideas, do insanely fast research, write a few paragraphs when we’re felling stuck or need to learn something new ourselves. It is AI content that is created with human assistance that will win in the end.

It is this marriage of human ingenuity and machine efficiency that will be help make the quickest and best content for our customers.

How Machine Learning Can Replace Your Marketing Team

You might want to consider using machine learning to automate your content creation process. You can use AI tools to do everything from identifying which types of articles to write, to the actual writing of the bulk of your article.

This way, you can spend less time creating content and more time focusing on other aspects of your business.

AI can take a huge burden off of small and medium businesses that may not have a huge marketing budget. A few tools can be used to complete usually complicated and time consuming tasks. These tools can be run by a business owner in their free time, or by a single employee instead of a whole team that you usually wouldn’t be able to afford to hire.

This is how you keep up. This is how to beat out competitors with bigger marketing budgets. Not with a team of content creators, but by working smarter and using AI.

Now that we know the importance of creating content, how to create content properly, and that paying for a few software can replace blown out marketing budgets, let’s dive into the different types of artificial intelligence we can use to help us meet our content creation goals.

Ways to Use Artificial Intelligence For Your Content Creation

When creating content for your business, there are many different AI tools that you can pull in for help.

Blogs require text to be written, images to showcase points in a visual format, and videos to explain more in-depth topics. Videos require music to help them flow better. All content requires data for you to be able to know what’s working and what’s not.

All of these elements can be created with programs that have been programed to help aid people such as us in making better content, faster.

Let’s cover these 5 different categories of AI content creations tools.

AI Writing Software

There are many different AI writing software solutions available today. Some of them even allow you to integrate your existing content management system (CMS) so that you can easily import all of your old content into the program.

You will then be able to improve upon old content, or create brand new content based on computer learning.

These programs also come with pre-built templates that you can choose from. They will then analyze your text and suggest relevant words and phrases that you can add to make your article better.

These programs are great because they save you tons of time by doing all of the hard work for you. However, you still need to provide them with some sort of training data so that they can learn what works and what doesn’t.

The good news is that most of these programs have an extremally friendly user interface, and have done most of the programming for the machine learning for us. We simply have to give the final prompts to get the software to churn out content.

All that said, how can machines crank out any original content that still sounds like a human wrote it?

How AI Replicated Human Language

If you want to know how computers can replicate human language, you must look at natural language processing (NLP). NLP allows computers to understand the meaning behind written text.

So, instead of generating words together that are just grammatically correct, the computer is also taught how words come together to form meaning.

This extra layer of learning allows content generation software to crawl competitor articles based on your keyword, get the context of what is written, and spit it back out in an original form to avoid plagiarism. Paragraphs can be reproduced in this way in seconds, and whole articles in a matter of minutes.

Top 3 AI Writing Software

Here are three of my favorite AI writing software options:

1. Peppertype.ai

2. Frase.io

3. ProWritingAid – ProWritingAid is a third choice if you prefer something a little less complicated. It is designed specifically to help writers improve their writing skills.

ProWritingAid is not really meant to replace a writer’s own efforts, but rather to supplement them.

You can use it to generate ideas for new posts, or even complete drafts of existing ones.

There are many different ways that you can use ProWritingAid to make your life easier when it comes to writing.

For example, you can set up templates for common phrases, and then use the software to fill them in automatically.

Or, you can use it to find synonyms for specific terms so that you don’t need to search through multiple dictionaries to find the right word.

There are many other things that you can do with ProWritingAid

AI Image Generation

Another area where AI technology can really shine is image generation. If you want to create images that look professional but aren’t too complicated, you can use AI to do it for you.

For example, you could take a picture of a product and then let the AI program generate hundreds of variations of the same photo. These variations would include things like changing the background color, adding shadows, adjusting the brightness, etc.

Then, you could pick the variation that looks the best and use it as the cover image for your website.

AI Video Creation

Video creation has become an increasingly popular form of online marketing. This is especially true in the world of eCommerce.

However, video creation isn’t easy. There are lots of technical issues that you need to deal with before you can actually start making videos.

Fortunately, artificial intelligence can help you overcome these problems.

In particular, you can use AI algorithms to create high-quality videos that look realistic.

AI Music + Audio

Music plays a huge role in any kind of online marketing campaign. It helps set the mood, creates emotion, and adds personality to your brand.

But, if you don’t have access to a music production studio, you may not be able to get the perfect sound effects or instrumentals.

That’s why you can use AI to create custom audio tracks for your videos. The process involves taking a sample of a song and then using various tools to manipulate the audio until it matches the original.

AI Data Solutions

Data science is one of the most important areas of modern business. Without good data, there is no way to effectively run your company.

Unfortunately, this is often easier said than done. In fact, it usually takes a lot of time and effort to collect and organize the right information.

The good news is that AI technology can greatly reduce that time and effort. For example, you can use AI systems to automatically extract useful information from the web.

This includes things like customer reviews, social media comments, competitor data, and more. Then, you can use this information to improve your products and services.

A Complete Strategy for Generating Blog Posts

Now let’s cover our current content creation strategy we recommend using the AI tools at our disposal.

This strategy is subject to change as we learn more about the space and try tools that are a better fit.

1. Research What to Write About

Currently, most of our strategy will be completed using Frase.io. The reason is that it saves hours of time from the research phase, all the way through content creation.

I recommend that you start with the Wikipedia Concept Map.

As the business owner, you are already the expert on your subject, but diving into the Wikipedia Concept Map will make sure you get a thorough overview of all subtopics you can cover.

From this we can see Wikipedia’s breakdown of our topic in great detail, and we can even click into each of these topics for more depth.

It’s good to make note of these, and also how they relate to each other. Creating what is called a Topic Cluster, a group of articles surrounding a main article, is a popular SEO strategy for creating highly authoritative content that Google loves to rank.

Once we have this list and how they relate to each other, we can go to step 2 in the image above, using the Outline Builder.

Simply type in a query (read: keyword), and you will get keyword suggestions.

Pick any of these suggestions and you get a list of related questions asked on Google and Quora. These will be the rough outline for our article, and we can create a new document right from this screen.

From there we will cut our competitor research to a fraction of the time.

2. Research Your Competition

There are several things to check out when looking at your competitors for a specific keyword.

And yes, you have new competitors for every single keyword you are targeting.

The first thing you can easily see is how many words and headings your competitors have.

A general rule is that longer content is best, as long as it is helpful to the reader. If it’s fluff, then having the longest article won’t help you.

Another thing you can check is number of images used, what they are of, and what the alt tags are.

It’s also important to see what topics are being talked about. When you look at all of these top 10 to 20 search results, see what topics are being covered and jot them down. You’ll want to hit on most, if not all, of these, because if Google is ranking the article, it must deem them as important.

It’s also important to check the number of backlinks an article has. There are a number of tools to you can use for this. Most are paid tools.

All of this sounds like an insane amount of work, and it is, unless you use a tool like Frase.io that does all the heavy lifting.

Once you have your document created from the last step, simply check out the sidebar.

Everything we’ve discussed above and more is done for you, in less than 30 seconds as Frase automatically crawls the top 20 results for that keyword and gives you what you need to have a competitive article.

That in itself is worth the monthly fee for the software. It’s AI at it’s finest!

If you are interested in harnessing this power for your content, you can learn more about Frase.io here.

3. Outline Your Article (With the End In Mind)

If you’re following along, you already have a rough outline from our article generator.

We will use this outline as a rough base because these are questions that potential readers want answered because they are searching for them.

But we don’t want to just answer these questions and be done. That makes for a drab, boring article.

Instead we want to think about the overall result was want our reader to have. What do we want them to come away with having read what we wrote?

From there you can see where these questions fit in, what we need to add to make a well-rounded article, and what makes overall good flow for the reader.

Now it’s time to write.

4. Create Your Rough Draft

There are many ways we can create our rough draft.

If you have time you can sit by and type it all out, we’ve been using AI in such a way that we’ve already saved significant amounts of time. Congrats!

If you want to take this a step further, you can use Frase’s AI Content Writing tools to have it generate blocks of content for you.

Keep in mind that we still want to go over the copy when we’re done, make sure it makes sense, and add our human touch to it.

My recommendation is to type out what you have time to, and speak directly to your audience as yourself. Use AI for research and to write little snippets here and there on concepts you need help with, or to fight writer’s block and speed up the process.

Either way, you will knock out a draft in no time.

5. Polish Your Content and Add Links

Always make sure to go back over your content and polish it for clarity and audience intent. This is especially true if you are using AI to write large swaths of content for you.

Make sure to use an AI Content Detection Tool to see if your content sounds like it was written by a human, or if Google will flag it as obvious AI content.

Add stats and links to your content. Google favors pieces that are well researched and link out to other content.

If you need more AI help, use free tools like ChatGPT to find stats about your subject that you can use in your content. Just make sure to ask the tool for a source of the stat and link to that source within your content.

Once you have a good, polished draft, you are ready to publish.

6. Publish Your Content

Now it’s time to publish your content.

You likely already have a place you are publishing content, but if not, you have a few options.

You can publish content to your own website, which I highly recommend to help build your site authority.

You could also publish to a 3rd party site like Medium, build an audience, and use their existing authority to help your content rank.

It may even make sense to publish on LinkedIn if you run a B2B company.

Again, I would recommend building your own blog and creating greater authority for your business, and then sharing the content to other platforms from there.

Luckily for us, Frase has a WordPress plugin that makes it easy to go from document to published in no time.

7. Promote Your Content

While it’s good to write with Frase to optimize your content and make it competitive, you still need a plan to promote it to get extra views and reach your audience. Not everything you write is going to rank, but if you make good content, everything you write should still be seen.

As busy business owners, we’re still on a time crunch, so I recommend using another tool, MissingLettr.

This tool automatically pulls in content you publish and creates social campaigns by using elements it pulls from your content. It sets these posts on a schedule for the next 2 weeks to 12 months, depending on your settings.

With a few clicks you can have a years worth of content scheduled to publish to platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. This helps bring people back to the piece you just created all year long.

If you do this for each piece, you will soon have a content promotion machine reaching out to bring people back to your site all year long.

FAQs

Will AI content replace human writers?

It doesn’t seem likely that the human element will be taken out of content creation completely.

While it’s true that AI has already replaced the quantity of human writers needed to start and maintain a competitive blog, there is still a human element that is needed.

Even if a program spits out a perfectly written piece of content based on a given keyword, the business owners unique input is still needed.

Not all content fits each business. The world doesn’t need more generic content on a subject. It needs content that is uniquely tailored to a businesses ideals and how they approach their solution to people’s problems.

While AI can now handle the bulk of the work, the program still needs someone to tell it what direction the content needs to be spun in.

What can I expect to pay for AI content generation per month?

At a minimum I would pay for Frase.io to be able to create SEO friendly outlines and optimize your content through AI research. With Frase you can also generate up to 20,000 words per month with their AI writing tool, which will help speed up the creation process.

Frase will cost just a mere $44.99/mo as of this writing, which is pennies compared to hiring a marketing team.

If you are looking for most of the work to be done for you, you may look into getting Content at Scale, which will cost $1,000/mo, but you will get 50 articles.

This equates to $20 per article for quality that I’ve experience after paying someone $100 for an article of the same caliber.

Just like anything, the more you pay, the less effort you need on your part. It just depends on how much you have to invest.

Is AI content quality similar to human written content?

Many content creation tools are already churning out content that is better than the bulk of writers out there.

Don’t believe me? Hit up a freelance hiring website and hiring a 2 or 3 star writer. It will cost you $30-$50 for a 1,000+ word article, and you will end up basically rewriting the entire thing yourself.

Been there, done that.

Content generators are really good at writing in a way that sounds natural to humans. They are also insanely knowledgeable because they crawl top results for the keywords in question and rewrite what’s already there.

They don’t need time to learn and research, and they already have an A grade in English class, which a lot of writers out there don’t have.

True, you will still find some odd sentences here and there, and you still need to put your unique spin on the article, but all-in-all content generators can crank out content that is of higher quality that what most humans can write. And much faster.

How much does it cost to hire a writer vs buying AI generated content?

Above we discussed how much AI content can cost per month, ranging anywhere from $45/mo on up to $1,000 or more, depending on how much you have to invest. You can expect a large number of articles to be able to be generated for this investment though.

On the flip side, hiring a writer can cost $100 or more per article written, and the quality can still leave much to be desired.

In summary, you can pay similar amounts for AI content as you do in hiring a writer, but your likely able to have a higher output of content. Depending on your tools the output can be of greater quality as well.

Can I just buy a software and get results without hiring anyone else?

It really depends how much time you are willing to dedicate to being a content creator.

If you are able to write time to run the software and generate content into your schedule, then you may not need anyone else.

If you can’t possibly pencil in 30 minutes to an hour per day, then it’s likely a good idea to hire at least one person to run the program for you.

Even if you have to hire one person, it will still be cheaper hire them to run your content generation tool than to hire an agency or your own team of content marketers.

Do I need to have some specialized knowledge to use these platforms?

No.

The best part about where we are in the development of AI content generation is that there are tools already programed to do the brunt of the work for us.

Sure, someone had to program these machines to understand human language and to rewrite content into something original, but we don’t have to worry about that on our end.

As business owners we don’t have the time, nor the skillset to accomplish this.

That’s why companies have done the work for us, and now simply charge us a monthly fee to use the tools.

Not only have people already set up these tools for us, but in many instances the machines can continue to teach themselves further without additional human interaction.

Through deep learning, content tools and other AI can take the parameters that have been given to them, and continue to further their own knowledge much like a human can continue to learn a new subject.

Does writing on my blog make sense anymore?

Some people will have you believe that blogging is dead.

That’s just insane to me.

You need to have relevant content on your website other than just your about us and services pages. There is no other way to answer all of the questions that your potential clients have.

Simply do a Google search for a question you want an answer to, and you will see all different types of content answering the question. Most likely you will see blog posts taking over the top spots.

This is why we need a blog for our business. Without one, we have no chance at scoring most top ranking spots.

Is AI blogging better than traditional offline advertising methods?

If you are a business that still only runs ads in newspapers and phone books, it’s time for a little update.

We’ve covered the importance of a blog, but it’s more than just being present to answer people’s questions.

A good blog post is the gift that keeps on giving.

If you are using these old school methods of advertising to get your name out there, or even if you have made the jump to pay-per-click ads on Google or Facebook, you are still constantly paying to get your name out there.

But what happens with a blog post?

Even if you invest $250 in a blog post to have it AI generated and for an employee to go over the post and tilt the message to better fit your business and make sure it all sounds good, that’s still a one-time investment.

If you are able to rank that article solidly at the top of Google, you have no further investment to keep driving traffic to that page.

And if you are properly collecting leads within that article, you will continue to get free leads as long as the article ranks well.

When will AI content generation become mainstream?

Content generator tools are still fairly new.

They’ve been around a few years, but they are still being fine-tuned by programmers and their own deep learning.

There are many aspects of content creation that they have yet to learn, such as content marketing strategy, or how to use our own personal flair in the writing.

We’re also dealing with the fact that people are losing jobs over these new methods, which never sits quite right with people.

Creative jobs such as art and writing were thought to be untouchable by machines, and yet we are on the cusp of this happening.

As a general prediction, I would say that we are only 3 to 5 years away from AI content generation becoming common practice within most businesses. That’s why it’s so exciting to get ahead of the curb and adopt these methods now.

Do AI content generators produce plagiarized content?

No, AI content generators do not typically produce plagiarized content.

They are designed to create unique and original content that is tailored to the specific needs of the user. AI content generators use natural language processing (NLP) algorithms to analyze existing text and generate new content based on the data it collects.

This means that the generated content is completely unique and free from any plagiarism. 

That said, generated content can have the same essence as other content, and therefore won’t be unique or helpful enough for Google to deem it rankable.

When an AI gives you content, you have to make sure that it makes sense and uses your own tone of voice and viewpoints. Currently this requires a manual edit. If you are using full AI content straight from the program you won’t get ranked, or worse you could get a manual action against your site.

Do search engines like AI Content?

The purpose of search engines is to surface the best, most relevant content to the searcher.

So that means it’s our job to create the best content to make it rank-worthy by Google.

Google has said that the use of AI Generated Content is against its guidelines, but to what extent?

Is using AI content cheating the system?

Not at all.

If you use fully generated AI content, you will not rank because you will get the Google Slap, so there’s no gaming there.

And if you use AI content to do your SEO research for you and write the occasional general knowledge paragraph so you can focus on writing the good stuff, you are still largely using human-generated content, and just using AI to increase your output.

What is a language model?

A language model uses deep machine learning to create content in a way that sounds natural when read by a human.

The idea behind this is that we want our content to sound as natural as possible.

We want our readers to feel comfortable reading our articles.

If you’re looking to generate content for your business blog, then you might want to consider using an AI tool that has already been trained in such language models as GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer).

These tools take all the heavy lifting out of the use of AI, and allows us to use strategies to create blog content such as the one set forth in this article.
