🫧 How I automated 85% of my content creation (and you can, too!)


The No Barrier Reef 🪸

Hey Reader,

The average SaaS founder spends 8+ hours per week creating content.

That's 380+ hours per year you could spend on needle movers such as product development, customer success, or strategic growth.

Let me share how I automated 85% of my content creation process:

Step 1: Content Planning

• Use AI tools to analyze top-performing posts: Sort them by impressions, engagement and lead generation.

• Create content clusters based on customer pain points: You should write about the same thing in several different ways. it's easier that way.

• Build a systematic content calendar: I like Notion but you can use your favorite CMS.

Step 2: Content Generation

• Leverage AI writing assistants for first drafts: Even a basic prompt will save you from starting with a blank page. my prompts do much more than that.

• Document successful content frameworks: Some frameworks generate better engagement than others. Make sure to reuse them in the future.

• Develop reusable templates: I tag some posts as evergreen so I can get back to them a few months down the line and reuse them.

Step 3: Distribution

• Schedule posts across platforms automatically: Automate or use a VA. I like Typefully.

• Create content variations for different channels: No need to reinvent the wheel. use the same basic content for several platforms. This email, for example, will become a LinkedIn post.

• Track engagement metrics systematically: You wanna track growth and leads generated. nobody gives a crap about CTR anymore.

Step 4: Human Touch

• Add personal stories and experiences: Unsuck the AI draft.

• Customize messaging for your audience: Always write for one person (Hey, you!) about one thing.

• Review and refine: AI-generated content lacks context. Never post an AI generated draft without working on it.

The results: (AI wrote this bit, lol)

• Reduced content creation time by 85%

• Maintained authentic voice and engagement

• Increased posting consistency

• More time for high-impact activities

Reality check: This doesn't happen overnight. Your work compounds.

Start small. Automate one part of your process at a time.

Focus on maintaining quality while reducing manual work.

Your time is better spent on strategic actions that drive growth.

When I was a little kid, I was fascinated with ants. I stared at them for hours. I would follow up on a single colony for week.s I read books about them (highly recommend Bernard Werber's books. Truly innovative) Do you know how to find a colony? You tap an ant. It panics and runs home. Back to where it's safest. People are the same. That's why we shout 'Mommy!' when we're scared.

The No Barrier Reef 🪸 The most important part of becoming a solopreneur is failing. If you don’t fail, you don’t learn. And there’s a lot to learn: What kind of work are you really good at? What is your ideal client profile? How much should you charge? What type of content should you write? How should you build your offer? All valid questions, requiring trial and error. The social media gurus love coloring things black & white. “Do this!” “Don’t do that!” “Here’s the simple path to success.”...

The No Barrier Reef 🪸 Hey Reader, Writing content that connects with readers is simpler than most people think. Here's what nobody tells you about creating content that pulls in leads: Most creators overcomplicate their work. They write these long, sophisticated articles filled with industry terms. They use big words to sound smart. At best, people skim through their content. At worst, they bounce. The solution? Write like you talk. Share your stories. Be vulnerable. Talk about your failures...
