Hi Kyle, I was hoping that you would mention the AI credits. I am still bummed about the AI credits. As I previously stated, I have severe issues with running out of credits and must wait 20 days or longer before posting another one.
There are long gaps in my position frequency, and I do not have the money to buy more credits. It's just so disappointing. Just for five sections, it takes 1,250 credits or more. It's a totally unfair process with the credits. I am not happy about it—thumbs down.
I am impressed with the idea of improving the AI Author; that's great. That's what I like to see. I also want to see improvement in the credit system because it's causing long gaps in my publishing frequency. The AI author has excellent ideas, and they are beneficial to me.
Once the output is there, I can edit and suit my personality into it rather than staring at a blank page and not knowing what to write because I have "writer's block." due to losing too many credits in a fast amount of time.
I am being honest and blunt with you, Kyle; you must work on this credit system. That should be a priority. Yes, there are other competitors out there. Guess what? None of them do well, like AI Author. So, that says something about how well you have trained your AI for its output. Despite its repetitive words and hallucinations, it's so human-like and getting smarter every time, but it works because these articles of mine are in the SERPs.
Having long gaps of no publishing is not a great idea because I consumed too many credits. Please tell me how I can reduce them so I dont run out. I run out, then I have to pay $25 to $50 every time. I will end up being broke, my credit card in debt, and in the hole.
As you know, my site is only five months old; it's growing, and I need to nurture it as well. However, with long gaps of not publishing, publishing only when I get the credits renewed doesn't look good for my readers. Now, will it? It looks suspicious, I'll say.
Be patient with your website, I have a site that we built from scratch without all these tools and it took a year before we got any traction. When you run out of credits just do it the good old fashion way! Writing is a free sport really.
Thanks for your feedback Brenda, we have given all Premium Plus+ members 15,000 credits (an article every second day or so), something that you didn't have prior. So this was a big value add, and this does cost a lot of money to operate.
We may have bigger packages and offerings in the future, but you can also leverage it for the outlines and write articles as well. You can get up to 150 outlines per month, if you wanted to take that approach (and that is 5 articles per day).
This platform will evolve, and you may see more credits in the mix in the future, but no guarantees on that.
Hey Kyle, I am loving these short sessions you offer, with all the updates, and suppling bear, is so cool, and you kept it going, without any hiccups lol!
I was wondering what that message that comes up about checking your browser meant, now I know!
I am also happy to hear you will be adding affiliate contacts within the hub, that would be the icing on the cake, less hassle in trying to find affiliate programs outside WA.
Thanks for all you guys do to keep us, safe, intouch and on the ball!!!
Yeah, glad I could offer you clarity on that message. That just means that particular page has yet to be visited yet (since your latest update to it), and once it is visited it is cached and will load almost instantly for everyone. This also offers protection against bots, and high volume attacks on your website which happen more frequently than you would probably imagine.
And yes, we are really looking forward to getting Affiliate Programs integrated, it is going to be a huge time saver and is going to open your eyes to a lot more opportunity.
Appreciate the updates on what is continuously going on behind the scenes here Kyle!
Do you have any info about when the new AI authors will be released?
Happy to see you made it through a bit more of your beer than you have done in recent weeks!!
Have a wonderful weekend my friend!
👍🍻
Not sure on the Author updates yet, when it is ready and well tested it will be released, but these sort of updates are going to be ongoing and you will see MANY updates and evolutions to the Author side platform througout the year.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend Nick! :)
No worries Kyle, when they are ready they're ready!
A pretty unproductive weekend work wise, but it was a relaxing one!
Have a fantastic start to the new week my friend!
👍🍻
Great video, great to hear what's moving forward with WA. Yes I'm in Australia and watching this video at 12:00am midnight. lol Had a really busy week of working, basically really worn out but this is the only time I have to get on my computer at the moment so I'm subscribing right now.. Been trying to do it all week but besides work my wife's father is dying from cancer so we are at the hospital a lot. Life it trying to get in the way of me getting on with moving forward and finally building my website, so tonight I will be signing up and can't wait to get all this happening. So Kyle great to have a drink with you too.. Cheers.
So sorry to hear about everything that is going on Shaun, life can be a crazy whirlwind at the best of times. I hope you were able to get some rest and downtime this weekend and if you need anything at all as you move forward, just reach out. ;)

Thank you for your weekly update, Kyle; as always, it's appreciated.
The faster hosting and greater security sounds like a great bonus. I'm certainly not an expert on hosting, but I'm trying to learn a bit more; like everything, there is more than meets the eye!
That sounds amazing that you are bringing in matching affiliate programs to suit each website.
It sounds interesting about the AI being updated in the create with the AI author. I wonder how AI will become in the future, will it actually the able to match human content or will we still be changing lots of things? Time will tell, I guess.
Have a great week.

And you shouldn't need to be an expert at hosting...that is our job, to offer you the best hosting service possible, one that is secure and fast and that evolves as there is technology available to use to do so.
On the AI side of things, it continues to evolve and improve. It is interesting how things have slowed a little on the "public use" of it, and now it is tech companies that are just building it into their services, advancing their services, and new Start ups building on the base of AI technology.
You have a wonderful week ahead as well Roy! :)
I hear where you're coming from Kyle, regarding the hosting, but I kind of find it interesting and fascinating when it comes to how things work. I always used to be interested in how machinery works, especially agricultural and horticultural machinery. But also now I am stuff finding the kind of computer/website interesting!
I almost think if AI can be built into products, it's easier for people like me! I guess this is what you are doing within the hubs, etc.
Have a fantastic Monday.
Roy
