Right now my workflow for blog posts is keyword research --> table of contents --> image search --> image optimization --> AI copy write --> humanize AI copy -- > write html --> validate code locally --> minify --> deploy --> verify. Usually this will take anywhere from 2-4 hours. Curious to hear about other peoples workflows and how long they take :s
 
Why do you write html? Is it a static html site?

With AI content involvement, what is your plan to monetize?
 
Are you able to automate? It looks too time consuming for a manual process.
 
That's a solid workflow. Mine is bit simpler i do keyword research - outline- add images-publish.
 
Your process is solid and covers everything important. I usually spend around 2 hours, but it depends on how much editing the AI copy needs.
 
Why do you write html? Is it a static html site?
Yes it's all custom coded html/css/js served w/ apache, built to learn client side languages and static file serving.

affilliate links, traffic's low but steady. switching gears att to start building da

definitely some parts could be automated, image gen/selection/optimization is time consuming no matter what. They have to be contextually relevent, appealing, optimized etc. That takes up probably 2/3 of my time tbh .

I built this project to learn from the ground up. It was a lot of work at the start but I am happy I went through it. Looking for next build att. Preferably soemthing fully automated.

Depending on publish platform. Only way to format the text well or it looks weird.
I asked because most people use wordpress. Even if you want to use html, there are options like Jekyll. So, formatting AI generated content into html sounds like reinventing the wheel. As TS is using a custom CMS, he must've done it for some other purpose.
 
Nice workflow! Mine is a bit shorter. I use AI to write and humanize the content, then format, add images, and publish. Usually takes me around 1–2 hours per post. Still trying to improve speed without losing quality.

This was true a decade ago. Ghost and other platforms have eaten large parts of WP market share.

We use ghost because it’s more effective than Wordpress to build a membership community seamlessly. That needs HTML formatting. I am actually aware of hundreds of WordPress sites DA 80+ that have left to other platforms like ghost in the past year.
