Artificial intelligence has changed what bloggers do to drive organic traffic and blogging income.
Fearing AI paralyzes you.
Fighting AI is hopeless.
Doing what AI cannot do is the only sane choice.
Rather than worry about AI taking over blogging or attempting to fight an impossible to defeat foe, do the smart thing.
Let go of what you cannot control.
Do what you can control.
Peep this, my Young Blogging Padawans:
I have been using similar phrases to a few above since 2014.
Scrolling down I noticed a few more “Ryan Blogging-isms”.
AI can and will:
- snatch your content
- spin it
- get away with it
Basically, if billionaires, lawmakers and the world say it is OK…..then it is OK.
I am at peace with that. The world came into form to be unfair save for a few folks whose scripts appear to be quite favorable to them.
That’s cool.
I cannot control that.
But Googling “blogging tips” helped me figure out something today.
I can control how much unique content I publish here on Blogging From Paradise Dot Com. No limits to these posts exist, save in my mind. I can publish 2 or 3 long form, detailed, practical blog posts daily.
Nobody can take that away from me.
Google cannot prevent that from happening. Nor can artificial intelligence. Billionaires who back AI cannot prevent me from doing this.
Do you want to hear something even better?
I can – and will – write in the first person here and there. I can add personalized, authentic takes on blogging tips, peppering in colorful stories, genuine anecdotes and my first hand experiences.
AI cannot copy unique, colorful, one-of-a-kind, first person experiences without:
- looking like an asshole
- crossing the line into plagiarism
AI Cannot Copy First Person Content Legitimately
Can you imagine if the AI summary on page 1 of Google took my first person stories and owned it from a third person perspective? I would even’t need to sue for plagiarism; the content becomes irrelevant because everyone knows only Ryan Biddulph the Blogging From Paradise Guy experienced these first person events.
Do you understand why I have implored you to inject first person accounts into your blog? AI cannot copy first person experiences without pushing legal boundaries or sounding idiotic, or just flat our irrelevant.
Yes I have been saying for 12 years that blogging is a marathon not a sprint. AI can snag it and spin it. I get it.
But AI cannot mimic this:
Return to the Prior Point
I promise to ease outside of my blogging comfort zone daily because I see the handwriting on the wall.
AI can snag and spin generic content at a dizzying pace and feature it prominently on page 1 of Google. Fearing to be prolific makes it difficult to gain exposure on Google or any platform for that matter.
But if you’re willing to publish first person content with genuine experiences at a sick clip you can and will dominate your blogging niche.
Why?
You will be doing something AI cannot do but at a stupendous rate, if you really commit to being prolific.
What can AI do with that?
You will be creating something genuine that it cannot snag and spin plus you’ll be light years ahead of AI since it literally cannot do what you’re doing.
Doha Qatar
AI does not technically exist – it is artificial – but should be shaking in its cyber boots.
How is that for turning the tables on this silly lil’ idea that the world says you need or you will miss out, struggle, fail then quit?
New Developments to AI-Proof Blogging From Paradise
I began to embed two or more travel images to each Blogging From Paradise blog post as of the past day.
We will do this going forward to further AI-proof my blog.
I snapped each image from my world travels. Every picture is unique to my blog.
Factor in my prolific intention and first person approach and you’ve the recipe for making AI utterly irrelevant.
What Is the Challenge?
Facing fear is the direct challenge.
Writer’s block.
The fear of annoying readers.
The fear of overwhelming readers.
The fear of creating content that few people see; temporarily, at least.
Pumping the brakes on distribution.
Establishing posture.
Building confidence.
Doing these things triggers fear.
Facing, feeling and looking past fear is highly uncomfortable at times.
But this is the price to pay for becoming a successful blogger.
Leave a Strictly Conventional Approach Behind
Some of what I do – and teach – is highly conventional.
But:
- AI
- billionaire backing via the machine
changed the blogging game a little bit.
Now you and I need to be increasingly unconventional to play a different game,
No human being can out produce AI in generic content terms.
All those tried and true SEO strategies based on churning out 3rd person posts does not work across the board anymore. AI summaries put an end to that a while back. Artificial intelligence snags and spins your 3rd person, SEO-optimized posts to land at position 1 page 1 of Google for all intents and purposes. Sorry; it is what it is.
Now is the time to step away from convention not only to survive but to thrive.
Add more of YOU to your blog and ramp up your publishing schedule.
Old skool SEO purists may step in to warn you about distribution issues or even making your blog a little too much about you.
But remember my message today before you trust their conventional approach.
Do you really believe you can beat AI, Google and AI-backers at their own conventional game?
Play a game that you can win.
