Though the human brain is an organ, if you don't exercise it like a muscle it will get weak. In this age of Artificial Intelligence being used to make money online, don't let AI affiliate marketing make you lazy.
What do I mean by that? The explosion in the use of Artificial Intelligence for creating written website content, has quickly reached the point of letting AI write most if not all of your content. This can be a problem.
Yes, AI is improving rapidly, but do not fully accept what it gives you without using your brain to edit it properly. We all have a character or personality that naturally comes through when we manually write content.
I ask questions as I write to bring attention to what I am trying to convey. At times I will also add a little bit of humor and even personal experiences. This is something AI cannot yet do, unless it can read your mind.

If you want to connect with your website and blog readers, then you need to use personal experiences and get down to their level of intelligence which is below that of artificial intelligence. It's a natural human level.
It is very noticeable to me when I read content, even here within WA, when that content is written mainly by AI. It has listed-like information, many times in a specific bullet point format, but it lacks character.

Do you proof read your content? Read it out loud to yourself. Does that sound like how you talk to a friend or family member? You need to make it sound like a human wrote it and not have it be more AI slop.
GIVE YOUR AI AFFILIATE MARKETING CONTENT PERSONALITY
If you don't at least use your brain to massage AI content into something with personality, why should someone read it and trust you? Don't get lazy simply for the case of pumping out content for your blog.
You want to be pumping out "Quality" written content and NOT "Quantity" written content. People search the internet for information from a "Personal Experience" and not information from an AI tool.

Then there is Google and the search engines. They are still going to serve the best content that answers the intent of a person's search query that "People" are typing or speaking into their search engines.
Artificial Intelligence can help you with keywords, but unless you use the keyword knowledge in your brain, how can you instruct AI what to do, like where and How To Use Keywords For Higher Rankings?
The very SEO Best Practices that we learned when we first started writing content before the age of AI, is STILL relevant today. Google is not going to abandon the very thing that has made it the best search engine.
If you intend to create written content by mainly by using AI, you will need to edit it at the very least, in what your keywords are and where you want them placed including as your page and post titles and tags.
Artificial Intelligence for affiliate marketing is a great creation tool for both written and visual content. However, don't let AI affiliate marketing make you lazy in the creation of your written content. Edit it!
Read it aloud to yourself and ask yourself, does this sound like a person wrote this? Is this how I talk? If the content doesn't, change it until it does. If you have any comments or questions, please leave them below.
