Step 2: Finding the right AI writer tool

Now that you’re ready to start affiliate marketing and dive into the world of creating affiliate content using AI content writers, it’s paramount to choose a trustworthy and powerful AI writer tool.

There are hundreds of AI writers in the market but not all of them suit your style of working or your requirements in content creation. Though it is usually a subjective choice, there are a few things that your AI content creation tool must have to give you a good ROI.

Factors to consider when choosing an AI writer tool

The choice you make will heavily rely on your specific needs. However, there are universal factors one should consider when choosing an AI writing tool, such as:

• Quality of output – The primary purpose is to create high-quality content to engage your audience. So, the quality of generated content should be your top priority.
• Number of use cases – The wider the range of content an AI writer can create, the more useful it will be for you. If you can find a single AI platform that covers most bases you get more for your money’s worth. Narrato, for instance, has over 100 AI tools and templates for content planning, creation, optimization, and repurposing. It helps you create content for various categories including blogs, web copy, social media, email, ads, product descriptions, video scripts, images, and more.
• User experience – The tool should have an easy, intuitive interface making it simple for users of all skill levels. An AI tool should not require any technical expertise or even very good content writing skills, as it is meant to make your job easier.
• Pricing – Compare different pricing models and choose the one that fits your budget without compromising on quality. Also, go for tools with free trials, so you can test them out before buying.
• Customer Support – Opt for a tool that guarantees reliable customer support.

 

Step 3: Preparing your AI writer for content creation

AI algorithms only create content as good as they’re trained to. Your inputs to the AI tool play a major role in the quality of output it gives you. Let’s dive into how to prepare your AI writer to generate content that is convincing, aligns with your brand voice and style, and best meets your requirements.

Customizing AI settings and preferences

1. Begin with setting up your AI in tune with your style of writing. A good AI writer will let you customize your content for your preferred tone of voice and your target audience. Narrato, for instance, allows you to choose your tone from a long list of pre-defined tones every time you generate content with AI. But that’s not all. It also lets you generate and save your own brand voice.

All you have to do is give the brand voice generator some examples of the content you usually create. The AI will analyze it and generate your custom brand voice based on the examples. You can save the custom brand voice and it automatically gets added to the list of tones on the AI writer.

 

2. You can pick languages and grammar rules suitable to your target audience. Not all AI writers may support multiple languages, so if you have language preferences, make sure you check before investing. Narrato’s AI writer supports over 15+ languages. You can set any of these languages as the default language for AI content generation. The readability and grammar checks also work in your target language.

3. Save your favorite or frequently used prompts. Thinking of a prompt every time before you generate any type of content beats the purpose of using AI for content creation, as you end up spending more time. This is usually what happens when creating content with ChatGPT or similar tools. Instead, if you can save your most frequently used prompts and reuse them when you need to, you will be saving a lot of time and effort.

On Narrato, you can build custom AI templates for this purpose. Simply add your favorite prompts to a reusable AI template and save them. The next time you need to use the prompt, you can simply choose the custom AI template, enter the variables and generate.

 

Familiarizing yourself with the AI writer interface

The next important thing to do, is to get a thorough understanding of your AI writer. Knowing what features it has, how these features can be used and what use cases they can help you with are critical to boosting efficiency when working with the tool. Locate and understand the function of each control. Wherever there is an instruction or a brief description, read it to better understand the feature.

Get to know your way around the input and output fields, as you’ll be using these a lot. Try out features such as text expansion, topic suggestions, or introduction generator to start with and get a hang of the platform. The more you use it, the more it’ll feel like a second brain!

 

 

Step 4: Creating AI-generated Content

Now that we’re ready to move forward, the real fun begins – it’s time to create marketing content with an AI writer. Here’s how that goes.

Understanding the content creation process with AI

The process is rather simple. All you need to do is fill up an AI template with your content requirements. depending on the use case and template you’ve chosen, the input required will vary. It could include word count, tone of writing, main keywords, target audience, etc. The AI then generates a content draft within a few seconds, which you can further refine, if needed.

 

This has several advantages. The obvious one is speed. You can create quality content in a fraction of the time it would take a human writer. Another is consistency. AI will produce content in the same manner and tone every time, ensuring your brand voice remains the same throughout your blog posts or landing page copies.

Writing effective content briefs

Whether it’s just you creating affiliate marketing content yourself, or you have a small team of writers to help you out, having a detailed content brief is essential in any case. Building an effective content brief gives you and your writers a solid foundation for content creation, even when using AI tools. To get the most out of your content creation process using an AI writer, you need to provide clear and concise instructions so that your team can use the AI tool to its best capacity. Here are a few tips to make your content briefs effective –

• Be clear about your topic, audience, and the key points you want the AI writer to cover.
• Specify the tone and style that matches your brand.
• Include your targeted SEO keywords.
• Find out the questions and knowledge gaps on the topic that you want the content to address.

 

When it comes to building SEO content briefs, Narrato AI can help with this too. It lets you generate automated SEO briefs from just your blog topic, landing page title, or a theme. The auto-generated SEO brief will have keywords with counts, questions to answer, references, and other SEO parameters to follow like target length, etc. The SEO brief is very conveniently attached to the content task on Narrato and the keyword counts on the brief update in real time as you start adding content to the editor. It also gives your content an SEO score indicating how well optimized it is.

 

You can further enrich this brief with notes to author, style guides, and more.

Step 5: Editing and optimizing AI-generated content

A vital step in AI content creation for affiliate marketing is refining and optimizing the content that your AI writer has generated. Adding a personal touch and interjecting your thoughts or personal experiences can make the content more relatable. Not just that, reviewing and editing are also important to ensure that the AI-generated content is relevant, accurate, and factually correct. Here’s how to do this efficiently.

Reviewing and proofreading AI-generated content

First things first, as magical as AI can be, it’s still not completely flawless. Hence, it’s critical to proofread and edit the AI-generated content to ensure it aligns with your voice, style, and brand guidelines. While AI is good at pumping out unique content, a thorough review is necessary to catch any glitches such as sentence construction issues or random phrases.

• Inspect the content for any grammatical or punctuation errors.
• Review the text for overall content cohesion.
• Ensure brand voice consistency throughout the content.

 

Optimizing content for SEO

The next step is optimization. AI-generated content needs to be optimized to meet SEO standards, including keywords, meta descriptions, alt text for images, and more.

• Infuse relevant keywords naturally within the content. If you are creating content on Narrato, we’ve already shown you how the SEO content briefs can make this absolutely simple.
• Create compelling meta titles and meta descriptions that include your focus keyword. Use Narrato’s AI SEO templates to generate these for any topic within seconds.
• Use alt text for the images with appropriate keyword incorporation.

 

Enhancing readability and engagement

Lastly, make your content crisp and reader-friendly. Break up long paragraphs into smaller ones, use bullet points or numbering where possible, and, most importantly, use engaging language that resonates with your audience.

• Shorten lengthy sentences and paragraphs. Narrato’s AI content assistant gives you a readability score that shows you how easy-to-read your content is. It also gives you improvement suggestions by highlighting long sentences and paragraphs, recessive use of passive voice and so on.
• Use lists and bullets to display information clearly. Use the “Paragraph to bullets” template on Narrato’s AI writer to convert long paragraph into easy-to-digest bulleted lists effortlessly.
• Ensure your language and tonality are engaging and aligns with the preferences of your target audience.

 

Remember, while AI can exponentially reduce your workload, successful affiliate marketing with AI-generated content still requires your personal touch during the editing and optimizing part!
