I had to chuckle after coming across another AI blogging commercial on Facebook a few moments ago.
Why?
Most who use it still do not see the comical aspect of using more AI more often to take blogging shortcuts.
Newsflash to those with ears to hear: using something artificial to think or work or blog for you is, in fact, a shortcut.
Anyway, the more often you use AI to take shortcuts you simultaneously shortcut your way out of:
- human traffic
- customers
- clients
- business
- blogging income
I find this funny because the shortcut to success skips the steps you need to take to succeed and guarantees long term failure.
Human beings:
- follow your blog
- read your posts
- buy your stuff
- hire you
- build your referral business
based on you patiently practicing to develop:
- skills
- credibility
- exposure
What happens when you use AI to do more and more blogging work for you?
YOU….aka, YOUR MIND…..does not practice to develop skills, credibility and exposure.
Bloggers who have no skills, credibility or exposure have no human readers. Bloggers without human readers obviously generate zero quality traffic and zero income.
The laughing stock aspect of AI blogging: you shortcut your way out of gaining skills, credibility and income as you use more AI more often to make your human mind, and blogging self, completely irrelevant.
You want success and race to failure.
You want to be influential and guarantee irrelevance.
You crave being indispensable and assure your redundancy.
Why Do AI Bloggers Miss this Comical Truth?
Fear makes you do stupid stuff.
Fear blinds you from truth.
Afraid, greedy, desperate, delusion minds think upside down and foolishly versus thinking right side up and wisely.
If you want something for nothing you will get nothing for nothing and will blame AI, blogging or anything outside of your:
- fear
- greed
- desperation
- delusion
as being the obvious scapegoat of your failure.
But if you read this post slowly you will laugh along with me. Outsourcing more activities that YOU need to patiently develop through mindful practice in order to succeed also promotes struggles, failure and quitting.
Afraid people never think clearly.
Afraid people think chaotically.
Consider the Concept of Making Yourself Redundant
If you use AI to create posts you gradually make yourself redundant.
If AI does all the work why would anyone need human blogger you?
Guess what?
They won’t.
Making matters worse, the AI-generated content completely lacks:
- heart
- human experience
- empathy
- compassion
- imagination
- creativity
Let’s use logic to think this one through to see the comedy of errors, shall we?
You made yourself redundant by using something artificial completely void of every necessary quality to gain human reader credibility, trust and flat out loyal human followers, customers and clients.
How do you think that’s going to work out?
You made your human blogging self irrelevant with some mindless thing that sooner than later repels humans from your blog.
Oh yeah; millions of other bloggers also use the same AI and similar or identical AI prompts which lack the critical human experiences and qualities for gaining credibility, inspiring trust, earning human loyalty and accelerating human business.
This sounds like a wise business model, right?
Being one of the blogging lemmings hurling itself off of the online business cliff sounds intelligent, eh?
BEWARE! You will miss out if you do not use AI for blogging?
Miss out on what? Being blogging lemming splat on the canyon floor?
Sarcasm aside, can you now begin to see why AI blogging as a full, auto-pilot, business model is genuinely Jackass-ville?
The more you use it the more you make yourself redundant and turn off any human readers, customers and clients who would help you succeed.
What if You Temporarily Trick Your Human Readers?
Perhaps you will fool your human readers temporarily – what a decent thing to do to human beings who trusted you and your genuine, vetted advice through your blog….eh? – but they will gradually see the same AI content vomited with the same AI prompts used by the same millions of bloggers who gradually morph into an identical AI blogging voice.
I’ve warned bloggers again and again; fear makes you do really stupid stuff.
What Is the Solution?
Practice writing with your mind.
Publish content, online courses and eBooks with your mind based on your human experience.
Become skilled, seen and credible.
Relax your mind. Be patient.
Thrive.
Consider the lead-in to my eBook 7 Steps to Build a Full Time Income Earning Blog…..
Introduction
Blogging from Paradise Location: Jimbaran, Bali
I was dumb, sick and broke many years ago. I hated life. Or I was apathetic. Either way life sucked.
This character is a far cry from the island hopping, timer taming, cobra viewing (added this one to my resume last week), monkey feeding, globe trotting, full time income earning fool I am today.
I am penning these words from Bali, the Island of the Gods because I learned the art of how to make money through blogging.
A funny shift occurred a while back; a shift that may just turn your life around, too. I was introduced to this internet thingee through getting the ax. I lost my security guard job in good old New Jersey. My wife Kelli told me that folks were making money online. One thing led to another and….I struggled like hell for 5 years online. This is no overnight success story…..BUT….that initial shift occurred 7 years ago, when I got fired, because I saw a possibility. I saw an opportunity. I ran with it, even though I dropped the baton through my blogging butterfingers about 5,986 times along the way.
The 2nd Shift
Another shift occurred after I had already established a full time income earning blog. I was getting paid. Kind of. But I knew something was missing. All of this changed on the day of THE shift; the day I trashed 3400 posts from my old blog which was also the day when Blogging from Paradise was born…….
Gain Credibility by Relaying Your Experience with Your Carefully Honed Skills
I wrote that eBook during one of my 5 trips to Bali.
I gained the personal experience of:
- taking 5 trips to Bali
- circling the globe for years
- practicing my writing for years
- building my blog patiently
Customers who purchase the eBook trust that I gained personal experience, developed my blogging skills and guide bloggers based on me committing 100% to my blogging craft for a long time.
Readers and customers vet me based on the quality, depth and targeted nature of the content I create.
The only way to gain lasting cred is to practice blogging like the dickens and accrue intimately personal experience for a long time so fellow humans trust you.
AI cannot hop a jet and take 5 trips to Bali. AI has no heart, or divine center, or mind, so it cannot feel love, know pain, fear struggles, suffer, overcome resistance, paint tales with a genuine rawness, think about humans before helping humans, empathize and express compassion, all while blogging and circling the globe.
I know how those experiences feel and THAT is why loyal Blogging From Paradise readers love me and love my blog, online courses and eBooks. ALL of these experiences formed the genuine being who shares authentic guidance with you.
Ditto for you, my dear readers and fellow bloggers.
Readers will love and trust you if you practice, put in the work, gain human experience and convey your guidance in genuine fashion by blogging from your heart.
Your Intimately Personal Experience Vets Your Claims
I landed features on sites like Forbes and Entrepreneur a while back.
Enough bloggers asked me how to do it so I eventually created this online course based on my intimately personal experience:
How to Get Featured on World Famous BlogsÂ
Every article, video and audio module in that course is me relaying in step-by-step fashion how I did it so you can do it, too.
The online course has been vetted because some of the top blogs on earth have – or still do – point links to Blogging From Paradise Dot Com.
This is the only way to create lasting credibility with human beings: you achieve it then guide others based on your unique, personal experience, honed skills, strategies and techniques.
AI can never do any of that and you need to do pretty much all of it.
I know that most of you put in the blogging work yourself.
But if unconscious fears in your mind tempt you to dive deeper into AI usage for blogging….remember to chuckle and move in the opposite direction.
