When I first got my 10,000 AI Credits at Wealthy Affiliate, I felt rich. It was like someone had handed me a big sack of seeds and said, “Go plant.”

But here’s the truth: seeds don’t feed you until you plant them wisely. Same with AI Credits. You can burn through them in a weekend, generating endless drafts you’ll never use, or you can spend them strategically; turning each credit into real, living content that grows your business.

Step 1: Draft (Plant the Seed)

Use AI to break the curse of the blank page. Drop in your keyword, outline, or topic idea, and let the AI generate a first draft.

This draft is not your final post; it’s your seed. It gives you structure, ideas, and raw words you can shape.

When I first tried this, I generated an article in 5 minutes that would’ve taken me hours. The relief was like rain after a drought.

Step 2: Humanize (Add Your Voice)

Here’s the danger: if you publish the AI draft as-is, your readers will feel it. It’s like serving plain porridge; filling, but tasteless.

This is where you step in. Add your voice. Tell a story. Insert that joke only you would make. Connect it to your life.

For me, I often sprinkle in lessons from South Sudan; like how a family wedding reminds me of internal linking, or how buying maize by the sack is like yearly pricing. Those are touches AI can’t replicate. But I also realize you can feed these into your AI tool, and it can help, over time. But you got the point. Your voice matters.

Humanizing turns the machine’s draft into your message.

Step 3: Polish (Make It Shine)

Now polish. Fix grammar, tighten sentences, and check SEO basics.

This is where you use tools inside WA (like SiteFeedback or Grammarly) to refine the article. The goal is to make your piece sound smooth, trustworthy, and professional.

By the time you’re done, the draft has transformed from seed → story → publication-ready content.

Why This Matters

AI Credits aren’t infinite. Even Premium Plus+ members with 30,000 credits need to spend them with care.

• If you only draft, you waste potential.
• If you only humanize without a draft, you waste time.
• If you only polish without a human voice, you waste trust.

The winning formula is all three: Draft → Humanize → Polish.

A Lesson from Life

In the village, we didn’t eat raw grain. We planted it, harvested it, cooked it, and then served it. That process turned seeds into meals.

Your AI Credits are seeds. Use them wisely, and they’ll feed your site for years.

🔥 Pro Tip: Don’t measure AI by how many words it generates. Measure it by how much published content it helps you create. Published work builds traffic. Drafts left in your folder do not.

Spend wisely, plant deeply, harvest fully. That’s how you turn AI Credits into income.
