My Koala Workflow | Lifetime deal ends tomorrow

Is AI the end of creativity? No, not if you view it as a tool. When viewed as a tool, it can take creativity to the next level. For me, it cracks creativity wide open. AI handles tedious aspects of content. I exercise my creativity with AI as follows: - Article topics and titles: I have fun inputting all kinds of unusual questions and topics. Sometimes it results in a fascinating article. Sometimes it's not so good. I can't test waters nearly as quickly when writing myself or assigning topics to writers. - Creativity with prompts: This is key. Be creative with what you prompt. Try different instructions for different article types. Test both broad and specific prompts (I prefer more specific prompts). - Creative article sub-sections: I often will run a sub-section generated in an article as a new prompt to expand it. The more detail, the better. - Be creative when editing: For me, the best way to quickly improve content is to inject examples. Since AI handles most of the heavy lifting, I have the time to polish up something that's delivered to me on a platter. It also helps me come up with cool ideas. With every article it spits out, I can quickly find more topics to punch out that's related. --------------------------------------------------------------- The lifetime deal for Koala ends tomorrow (midnight Monday) => [Click here to save 30% on the lifetime deal]()​ If the 30% discount doesn't automatically apply, use FATSTACKS in the promotional code field.

In [my example yesterday](=), I specifically told Koala to restrict the output to just the list. This is important - I almost always prompt to restrict output to the title unless I create an outline. Then I prompt to restrict to only the title and outline topics. I don't like extraneous material. If I need additional sub-topics covered, I run Koala again with a new prompt. Koala did a pretty good job explaining each item in the list. However, if it came up short, I could run another prompt on that item. For example, for the section on "Fine-Dining" in Whistler, I could run prompts for specific restaurants in Whistler I've eaten at. At some point this section alone could expand into a new article (which can be good). I could list out the restaurants with a brief explanation then link that section to an article setting out my ten favorite fine-dining restaurants in Whistler. Koala prompts Another aspect I like about Koala is it generates good articles solely from inputting a keyword. It's the long-tail publisher's dream. Don't overthink this. I usually input the keyword in the "Target Keyword" field. If it's a more in-depth article, I'll set out an outline (but I often don't instead preferring to work from what is generated. Like I said above, if I need a section expanded, I'll run a new prompt for that section topic). The Extra Content Prompt field is where I include additional instructions. Here are some I often use: - For each item in a list (or section) explain in detail. My specific instructions will depend on the topic. I may say something like "explain why" or "explain the benefits" or "explain why it's in this top ten list". - Restrict the article to the title keyword. Do not include additional information. - Number the list items (unfortunately, this prompt doesn't always work). Here's the thing with AI. If you can imagine it, AI can generate it. The more specific you are, the better the output. Every time I run it, I take the time to input necessary instructions so that I stand the best chance possible of getting the best article possible. It's a dream scenario. My Current Koala Workflow Based on questions from readers, some are confused with exactly how I use Koala. I recognized I haven't been as clear as I should have been. The thing is, right now, I'm treading carefully and slowly when it comes to indexing in Google. I'll try to be crystal clear here. 1. Minimally or unedited: I noindex which means Google won't index it in the search listings. I use this content as articles to drive traffic from Facebook to. I post a link post on Facebook pages to drive traffic. 2. Edited Koala content: If I spend 15 to 45 minutes editing content, I will index it for Google. Sometimes I post this content to Facebook. Sometimes I don't. 3. Successful Facebook links: If an article performs well on Facebook, I will edit the article and then index it for Google (if it's not indexed). It's proven to be popular so I might as well put extra time to get some search traffic. 4. A glance-over for Facebook: Even if it's initially just for Facebook and I don't index it for Google, I will quickly glance over it and sometimes make some very quick edits if there are any issues. This take only a few minutes. If I end up doing a more comprehensive edit, then I'll index it in Google. Where I'm going with Koala I'm going to hire dedicated editors to scale up Koala content. I've been punching out article after article and have a good feel for how to train editors to do the final editing and then publish it so I'm out of the process entirely. I've been talking to WriterAccess but their writers won't work directly on my site so that's not going to work. I'll hire directly. My #1 Editing Tip I was chatting with guy last night who actually found what I do interesting. Most people hear tech and their eyes glaze over. Once in a while people are actually interested. Anyway, this guy is a pilot and fixes older cars as a hobby. He's kinda interested in starting a blog on something he's into. He watches a lot of YouTube videos for help fixing up his old cars. Makes sense. He said he sticks to the Youtubers who talk like a regular person; who cracks the odd joke, is a bit self-deprecating all the while showing useful techniques for fixing something. I'm with him. The simplest and fastest way to edit something so that it shines is inject a bit of personality into it. It's not hard. The intro is a good place for this. Adding anecdotes and examples also works. All this can be done pretty fast in a Koala-generated article. If you like to do this, have Koala generate content in the singular first person so that it reads "I went to Whistler last week...". How to instruct Koala to write in the singular first person It works best for me when I add "written in the singular first person" after the keyword I input in the "Target Keyword" field. Formatting and Images Currently, once I'm happy with a Koala article set as a draft on my site, VAs do the final formatting, most of which involves getting images for the posts. Because I post as a link post to Facebook, I ask VAs to put a DONE in front of the title and save as draft. This way I know it's ready to be published and posted to Facebook. When VAs were publishing the content I was losing track which articles I had posted links to on Facebook so the DONE is a good workaround. That's about it. I'm treading slowly and carefully. I encourage you to establish your own workflow. Each niche is different. Each site is different. For example, the more important the site is to me, I take more care of the content I publish and index. If it's a small site where I'm not too concerned about what happens to it, I'll use it as a testing ground. I won't put as much editing effort into the content. At the end of the day, Koala saves me a ton of time This is particularly true when it comes to creating a lot of content for Facebook traffic. I'm not talking about using Koala to create Facebook posts. I'm talking about publishing content on my site to which I link to with link posts on Facebook. One can easily post 3, 6 or even 9 link posts to a Facebook page daily. That means I need that much content daily. While I do recycle posts after a few months (I recycle the best performers), it means I still need an absolute ton of content just for Facebook traffic. Some of that content I will index. Some of it I won't. Why don't I index everything in Google? I've long not indexed all content on a site. It's not a new strategy for me with AI content. I syndicate content for readers which I noindex. I publish what could be deemed thin content by Google but is actually good content. I only index content if it's content Google wants indexed... typically longer form content and/or original graphics/illustrations. With respect to AI content, I'm treading slowly with indexing it for Google. Some of it I edit and then index. Some of it I don't edit and therefore don't index it. I understand my Koala workflow is not a simple formula to follow but then I'm not a formula-istic publisher. I do what I think is best for each situation. I encourage you to do the same for your site. My workflow will change There may well come a time when I will be comfortable indexing AI content in Google without editing it. I will test first on smaller sites to see how it does. I'm not rushing into anything. I could be making a mistake by taking it slow but I'd rather take my time than do something I regret. I have no doubts my creativity with AI will improve. This is just the start. Overall, AI content is very exciting The quality it produces out-of-the-box is exciting. Perfect? Not always, but it's definitely good. Sometimes it is perfect though which is really cool. The bottom line AI content is slashing my monthly content investment cost which is more money in my pocket. I've merely started with AI content. I'm still working on the workflow so that I can get to the scaling point. I'll get there and when I do I expect tremendous growth not only for my main niche sites but also for smaller sites.
