9 ways to succeed as a publisher in an AI world

Koala NOW passes AI detection I started using Koala when the latest and greatest was GPT-3.5. Blew my mind but didn't pass AI detector [Originality.ai](). I was fine with it because the articles were good and I had a solid use for them. Then yesterday in the wee morning hours I received an email from a reader telling me Koala with GPT-4 scored very high for original content with Originality.ai. I tested it myself multiple times and sure enough, every article was above 80% or higher original (80% is a solid threshold IMO). Several on the FS forum reported the same results with GPT-4. I'll still tread very carefully with this for a couple of reasons: 1. I don't know how good Google is at detecting AI content. 2. I don't know whether Google actually cares or not. They say AI content is okay as long as it's helpful but then Google says a lot of things that isn't always the case. I'll be testing indexing AI content more or less as is on smaller sites first... if they go down in flames, it's not the end of the world. That's just me. There are different views on this - do what's right for you. FYI, I upgraded my lifetime deal to Elite (1 million words per month). You can upgrade through Monday March 27. It's seamless.

With unlimited content for all, how can it work? In my view, yes, there is. I find it very exciting. But you need to take steps to make content work for you. Here are 8 ways to do that. These are early days in an AI world so these are 8 ways as I see it now. If you can figure out your own angle, do it. 1. Ninja-like keyword research: those who do better keyword research get the traffic. There are many KW strategies out there. You only need to be good at one. This has been a foundational strategy for me for years. 2. E-E-A-T: Establish stronger E-E-A-T sitewide than other sites. Yes, it can be done while publishing AI content. Just because you use AI content doesn't mean there aren't people behind the publication. You can easily set things up so that you appear as a trustworthy website and business in the eyes of Google. A good start with this is building out a solid knowledge graph. 3. Social media: Harness AI content to create engaging content for social. Do it better than others. Unlike SEO, social isn't zero sum (i.e. winner takes almost all). In fact, social offers collaboration opportunities where everyone wins. Consider setting up a social sharing syndicate within your niche. 4. Titles, better titles, irresistible titles: Titles can make the difference between 10 clicks and 10,000 clicks, especially on social and in email newsletters. Hone your title writing. When you pair ninja-like keyword research, topical domination and irresistible titles, you could be unstoppable. 6. Custom graphics: Yes, custom graphics (photos, illustrations, charts, etc.) will slow down your AI content publishing blitzkrieg but for some articles, it's well worth the delay and expense. Custom graphics are a great way to have your content stand out within a growing sea of content. 7. 10x content: I believe a viable strategy is to publish epic content; content so good it gets shared, linked to and so forth. This has always worked. It will continue to work. I'm sure you can use AI to assist; assist being the operative word. 10x content takes many forms - could be online tools, PDFs, custom graphics, research, breaking news... anything that makes it unmatched in your niche. 8. Maestro-level on-page SEO: On-page and on-site SEO makes a difference. Learn it. Embrace it. Excel at it. It can make a difference. I'm talking about publishing content that meets search intent, tight internal linking, proper subheading tags, good navigation, linkable assets, schema mark-up and a fast loading site. 9. Out-publish everyone in their niche gunning for topical authority: This is one tactic I'm not embracing but I know some folks are. They are integrating AI content platforms like Koala with Google sheets and absolutely blasting out a lot of content. I listed this reluctantly because I don't know if it works. I suspect it does... the question is whether it works long term. But then again, these days it seems no content strategy is not bullet proof long term. Kinda sounds like content publishing pre-AI, doesn't it? I applied all 9 methods above pre-AI. It worked then. I'm confident it'll work going forward. Seriously, pre-AI content, it wasn't like mass publishing wasn't possible. It was. I did it to an extent. I just had to pay for it. Now, I can apply the same methods except it costs much, much less. The only thing I'm doing differently now is putting more effort into growing social traffic. AI content is helping with this big time. Not mutually exclusive None of what I set out above is mutually exclusive. In other words, you can do all of it or some of it at the same time. You don't need to pick and choose. I embrace all those methods although lacking recently with 10x content as I'm spending time building out systems for the other methods (particularly social). AI content makes much of it possible When ChatGPT 3 came out, I wasn't impressed. I tried Jasper and others but was never satisfied. When ChatGPT 3.5 came out, I became interested in AI content. I treaded slowly; it was very good with Koala. At that point it became clear to me that it was only a matter of time until AI content would be widely used. Now that ChatGPT 4 is here, AI content can do things I can't do. I'm not kidding. It's like having an e-bike compared to a regular bike. With an e-bike I bike more often on both road and trail. Hills are easy; actually they're more fun on an e-bike than going downhill. I still power and steer but the electric motor makes so much more possible. The end result is faster, further and funner. That's what Koala AI content is for me. => [Get the lifetime Koala deal here](). The 30% discount is now automatically applied to the cart when you use my link.
