Buyers trying to get original, quality content may feel misled by sellers using AI-powered writing tools to generate content instead of producing it from scratch. As a writer, I've lately been met with many potential clients asking me to "prove" that I actually write. AI writing tools have been around since I started my writing career 8 years ago. The difference now is that they've gotten very widely known and far more powerful in the past few months, and that has buyers concerned. In my opinion, writers can use these tools, but I believe it should always be disclosed to the client if they do — and hopefully they do more than just copy/paste what the AI generated and sell it to you. Is AI-generated content a bad thing? Whether you love AI or hate it, you have to make sure you follow the best practices: Content should be original and add new insights instead of regurgitating ideas already on the web Content should demonstrate first-hand experience and expertise (part of Google's E-E-A-T model) Content should match your brand's voice and speak directly to your target reader's pain points The biggest issue with AI-generated writing is that it doesn't do any of these things. A writer can edit and expand on it to make it so, but how do you know if your writer is using AI to generated some or all of the content they're sending to you? Detecting AI I have tested many tools over the past few months and I have found that the absolute best is Copyleaks (free to use for now). This will tool will tell you approximately how much of the text was AI generated. It works best on longer pieces of content. No doubt, this tool is not foolproof, which is why I firmly believe the best AI detector following this tool is YOU. When reading content, ask yourself: Did the writer use varying sentence lengths and a wide vocabulary? Did the writer avoid redundancy in terminology and concepts? Did the writer follow the instructions you gave them for structure? Did the writer incorporate any unique insights that imply industry expertise? Did the writer include links to all of the sites they referenced during research? Did the writer properly express your brand's personality with their writing style? If you can't confidently answer "YES" to all of these questions, it really doesn't matter if they used AI or not (though the probability that they did does go up). Your content should always meet these standards if you're paying fairly for it. I hope that helps! 🙂

Yes, total opposite! I have the smallest phone model available, and it’s on purpose. 😄

I got my desktop iMac a few years ago when I went full-time online and I chose 21.5" over the 27" because I thought the bigger model was “overkill” for what I was doing. I didn’t mind the monitor size but I wish I had of upgraded just for the internal storage and processing speed (which my dad tried to get me to do because he knows computers). At the time, I did some video editing and graphic design work in addition to storing a lot of files on my computer. However, I ended up getting a laptop at the start of the year and I have not used my desktop once since then. I had to get used to the trackpad, but without it I couldn’t enjoy working while traveling and, of course, swaying in the hammock. Writing (my primary focus now) is pretty portable, otherwise I would probably have to be confined to a desktop computer’s functionalities and space. 😄

I got a hammock for the patio yesterday and it’s my new favorite work station. I can’t go on a tropical vacation yet, but combined with this summer’s (wake) surfing lessons, it’s like the next best thing! 😄 Where’s your favorite place to work from?

You can’t depend on Fiverr’s search to continuously flood your gig with sales. Each day, new members join that Fiverr is obliged to give an initial boost to and, meanwhile, other sellers (your competition) are trying to grow their sales as well. It’s time to start marketing. 🙂

That’s surprising, the DJ God isn’t needed in Greenland? 😛

I have no suggestions, I’m not really big on reading books of that nature (or taking courses, or going to seminars). I know some of them have valuable information, but it’d be a pretty bad business strategy for people to actually give away their secrets/tactics/inside knowledge $10 a pop 😋
