Hi,
Thanks. I’m looking forward to your next post.

And indeed it has been an interesting month with the dawn of AI in content writing. Really excited about it. Wouldn’t be suprised if Google would do more with rich results.

IMO a lot of AI tools still aren’t really useable for content creation especially for non-English content. But some look are allready usefull like ZimmWriter and AtomTopics. Allthough a human touch is still needed. Luckily.

Feel like programmatic seo and AI could be a real good combination. Curious about how your templates are made up.

I’m with you, Adam. I have many open-ended questions about the future of indie content creation as you, I, and everyone else in this business know it today.

What you’re telling me you can produce, however, can be hard to replicate by somebody else or synthesize with AI; you may be onto something. Sure, AI may be able to answer the basic questions about ceramics and pottery in a jiffy, but, for the foreseeable future, I doubt it would be able to get into the specific techniques and teach the craft the way a human could.

A blog with 100-150 posts and a YouTube channel with 25-50 videos and 50-100 shorts may be a good way to sell one or multiple ceramics or pottery courses. There may be affiliate opportunities for the tools and supplies needed. I don’t think you’d make a lot from display ads in this niche.

If you look at a blog and YouTube channel as entry points for selling a course, I’d say there’s potential in it. And a free or low-cost five-day email course for beginners can be a great way to turn blog readers and video viewers into leads or customers.

I unloaded my main sites a while ago and have been sitting on a few aged domains waiting to see how these next months unfold. I happen to own a pretty high authority, clean, ceramics/pottery aged domain which hasn’t been touched in years. I’ve been thinking that I could easily produce very niche content for that and run it as an affiliate site, as I have a ceramics studio and pottery and have been working with clay as a hobby for 20 years. I reckon content like that that’s very niche and bespoke, especially with the kind of images and shorts that will be very original. I guess my concerns are will Google change ranking factors, importance of backlinks etc, how easy is it going to be for AI to recreate a sequence of images, or to even recreate short videos. It’s 50/50 for me at the min whether it’s worth the work going from scratch.

Thanks for leaving a reply, SCH!

Yeah, I think it’s a good time to sell and simplify.

Personally, I’m reducing the number of websites in my portfolio and will be focusing my and my team’s time on those with the highest return and content that’s least likely to be affected by AI.

For example, I have a website about a very specific type of SaaS apps. High RPMs, big commissions, impossible to produce good content about without buying the apps, getting to know them, and writing clear guides while taking screenshots. My take is the need for this type of answers won’t go away even if Google or Bing start aggregating some of them.

Very interesting – particularly your thoughts on AI search. I just sold my main site for a decent 6 figure sum to de-risk and allow me to experience the next few months as an observer rather than a victim.
