Big mistake writers make with AI

Published 11 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

I was on Threads the other day.

Fun social media network.

Nice user interface.

No ads

No bots.

And no trolls like X (yet).

I found a post from a writer on Threads.

He says he doesn’t use ChatGPT to get ideas or to write posts.

Instead, he proudly publishes content that reads like a journal.

And it’s 100% human.

He even created an image of a stamp saying “100% human”.

He labels his content with it.

Sounds great, right?

(I’m all for personal writing)

Well, maybe not.

I don’t recommend writing a simple prompt for ChatGPT and using what it spits out…as is.

Nobody wants to read that.

But not using AI to help you write is like passing up on an opportunity to work with a world-class writing assistant.

Do you need an assistant?

I’ve interviewed dozens of New York Times best-selling authors for my podcast.

The big ones hire personal research assistants to help them plan their work.

The problem?

Most writers can’t afford one.

Enter ChatGPT

The next time you create content with ChatGPT.

Consider the results as a piece of research.

Except it’s from your much more affordable robot assistant.

You can rewrite it.

Add personal stories and insights.

And give it a personal touch.

Turn bland, boring AI content into something only you can write.

Write on,
Bryan Collins

Hi Reader, I’m running a workshop for Pro Writers Only that I think you’ll love. The name? Get Your First 1k Email Subscribers in 30 Days. Forget about follower counts. Going viral. Or your socials (for now). Why? Years ago, a former mentor told me: “Get 1000 email subscribers, and you have a business.” He was right. Over the years, I’ve attracted over 100k email subscribers. And today… My email list is the primary revenue driver for my writing business. I use it to work with clients and get...

Hi Reader, The other day, a writer I admire on X tweeted, “I’m sad the newsletter era is ending.” I was more than sad. I was worried. I’ve put dozens of hours and $$$ into growing my newsletter. Was it all for nothing? Are newsletters dying a slow and painful death? You see: For years, I got paid to write via ads on my blog posts and affiliate promotions. I earned well from both. But today, these revenue models for writers have a big problem. Your writing business can tank when Google changes...

Hi Reader, Can I get your advice on something? I’m hosting a paid workshop for a select group of writers in a few days. I’m teaching attendees how to get their first 1000 email subscribers.
