3 Smart Ways to Use AI to Create Better Content (Faster!)
Ever feel STUCK in the never ending cycle of content creation? You finally finish one project when, all the sudden, five more pop up that need to be brainstormed, edited, and published... yesterday. 😅
But here’s the good news: you don’t have to spend hours creating it manually anymore. AI tools are evolving fast, and if you’re not using them to your advantage, you’re missing out on a major opportunity to create quality content faster.
In this post, I’m sharing three powerful (and practical!) ways to use AI to create better content faster PLUS one bonus strategy to completely automate your content workflow. Let’s jump in, shall we?
Work smart with AI and even smarter with Melio. Fast, flexible and secure payments for busy creators.
AI for Idea Generation: From Blank Page to Brilliant in Minutes
The hardest part of content creation? Getting started.
You sit down to write a blog post, film a video, or post to Instagram... and nothing. Crickets.
Instead of staring at a blank screen, try this:
Open up an AI tool like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
Use a simple prompt: “Give me 10 video ideas about [your topic].”
Instantly get a list of fresh, relevant, SEO-friendly content ideas.
It’s like having a marketing strategist, research assistant, and idea generator—all rolled into one. And it doesn’t stop there. AI can help you:
Outline your content before you even start writing
Craft engaging titles and hooks tailored to your audience
Suggest examples and stories to make your message more impactful
Before I started using AI, I’d spend hours just planning what to say. Now? I can whip up a week’s worth of content ideas in 20 minutes and refocus my energy and time on the work that keeps my business growing.
AI for Repurposing: Turn One Piece of Content Into Five
Creating content is one thing. Maximizing your efforts by repurposing that content? That’s where the real “time saving magic” lies.
Let’s say you just filmed a 10-minute YouTube video. Instead of letting that effort sit in one place, here’s how AI can help you repurpose it:
📝 Turn it into a blog post (like this one!) with AI writing tools
💬 Pull quotes and insights for LinkedIn or Twitter
🎬 Clip short-form videos for Reels, Shorts, or TikTok
📩 Create an email newsletter summarizing the highlights
🎙️ Draft a podcast episode or script based on your original content
What does this mean? More visibility. More engagement. More income.
And by using the right AI tools, generating that visibility takes minutes rather than hours.
💡 Pro Tip: Want to get even more strategic? Use custom GPTs or AI workflows to tailor your content repurposing for each platform’s best practices. Check out this video to learn exactly HOW.
AI for Refining Content: Make It Stronger, Clearer, and More Engaging
Let’s be honest, first drafts rarely shine. But you don’t have to spend hours editing and second-guessing yourself.
Instead, think of AI as your personal content coach. With the right tools, you can:
✍️ Reword or simplify sections that feel clunky or unclear
📖 Add examples and storytelling to boost connection
📈 Optimize for SEO and readability with formatting and keyword suggestions
🔍 Fact-check and enhance your content with up-to-date references
The result? Stronger content that connects with your audience and performs better in search.
Bonus: Automate Your Entire Content Workflow
This is where the magic really happens. When you combine AI content tools with automation, you can streamline the entire process which again, saves you hours every week and helps keep you consistent.
Here’s what this could look like:
✅ Set up AI templates for repeat content (like podcast notes or Instagram captions)
✅ Use auto-posting tools to schedule content across platforms
✅ Enable AI-powered research to stay on top of trends
✅ Track content performance with AI analytics tools
With a system like this in place, your content engine just keeps running, whether you're at your desk or out of office. 🌞

But AI isn’t the only way to streamline your business and buy back your time...
