How I Automated 85% of My Content Creation (and You Can Too)
Hey
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.
