I am finally getting around to entering this challenge.
While I use several AI tools, the ones I use the most are ChatGPT and CoPilot (often after having an article drafted by the AI Writer here.)
I treat them both like helpful friends. I do not give them prompts but tell them what I need. ChatGPT is the overarching 'boss' who gets the final word.
The Sequence for my parenting site blogs is generally:
1) The AI writer writes a draft from one of my hub writing tasks. I quickly read through that and add any points I think are important and go to the next step.
2) I paste this article into CoPilot and ask it to cut out all the fluff and generalisations that parents would already know anyway and just keep the useful information plus add in my own additions. When this comes back, I read through it, change some of the wording, add my own experience and examples (without going to much trouble to make it sound good) and go to the next step of my blog production line.
3) I give this edited article to ChatGPT, tell it what the title is and ask it what it thinks of the article and how it can be improved. It generally comes back with a sweet
"You've written a lovely article — it's encouraging, practical, and full of warmth already. I'll smooth it out just a little, polish the flow, and gently tighten a few areas so it reads even more naturally for parents. Here's the refined version:"
At the end of this it will always ask what else I need and I will then either ask for an image - if I know what I want - to go with the article, or I will ask it for image suggestions and it will then create an excellent image for me because it knows the article and knows many of the previous articles. It keeps everything consistent and then helps with meta description or additional images, if the article is long, and even suggests where those images should be placed.
I love my 'conveyor belt style' blog production!
Yes, it does feel that way. I am loving it. It seems like a team effort with both ChatGPT and CoPilot seemingly pleased when it's been published and all the SEO Framework boxes are green. :-)
I am joining this party late, but here is my entrance.
I am basically a walking repository for AI Tools at this point. My blogging efforts would be crawling along at a medieval pace without all of the tools that I use.
I currently rotate between 7 custom chatbots, over 20 AI image & video generators, 3 music creators, and a couple of editors. I have created projects in Google NotebookLM to better align my posts with their appropriate categories.
I am doing a deep dive into teaching myself AI Agents with n8n, Relevance, and ChatGPT.
I use Perplexity to create AI-generated lesson plans so I can master all of the Shiny New Things I discover.
For visual content distribution to my various social media outlets, I couldn't survive without Canva.
But if I had to pick just one tool to highlight?
I’d first have to ask this question...
"What is the most important part of Niche Blogging and Affiliate Marketing?"
In one word - RELEVANCE
If your content isn’t timely, useful, or tied to a real-world conversation, it will vanish into the ether, never to be seen or read.
So, how do I stay relevant?
That’s where "today's" favorite tool comes in handy.
Grok gives me real-time access to trending news and social signals. I’ve trained it to find topics relevant to my newest niche, Decentralized Identification (DIDs).
Here is the prompt and the list, I just ran for this piece...
“Grok, my niche is Decentralized Identification. Are there any trending news stories or issues this week where this technology could provide a solution?”
Grok quickly found four timely and relevant topics to create content around. I omitted the rationale for brevity, but here is the list (and my comment):
1. Election Integrity & Voter Fraud - Always a hot topic regardless of your side of the fence.
2. Online Booking Scams Targeting Pilgrims & Tourists - Frye II is up and running. Want tickets?
3. AI-Generated Disinformation in Elections - Deepfakes are getting hard to spot. Taylor Swift didn't endorse President Trump, did she?
4. Privacy-Preserving Digital Identity for Online Services - When was the last data breach? Rented from Hertz lately?
Staying current and in the know, that is how I am using today's favorite tool - Grok.
Tip: Since Grok taps into live Twitter (X) trends, I treat it as a niche-specific radar for high-signal news. I check it every 2–3 days and bookmark key outputs to fuel a weekly editorial calendar.
Feel free to replace my niche with yours to make it effective for you.
I would love to crack the top spots as a dark horse entrance.
MrDon
Well, I'm not sure, but I think in order for us to be connected, we need to have a connection. And apparently, you've done something to rectify the situation?
Anyway, I'm Randy - AKA Skillit. Not really sure why I did my screen name that way. I think it's because I was thinking that I have skill (debatable) and I'm Lit... Normally, no argument there.
Hi there,
I'm Mighty — not new to the creative hustle, but always exploring ways to level up my game. I've played around with a bunch of different tools, but the one I keep going back to is:
1. ChatGPT
2. I use it for all sorts of things — writing content , planning events, crafting bios, and coming up with catchy slogans for my brand. It’s become my go to for getting ideas out fast without overthinking. What I really like is how it helps me structure my thoughts when I’ve got too much going on. Sometimes I’ve got the vision, but not the words,this helps me bridge that gap effortlessly.
3) One tip I’ve picked up: don’t treat it like a machine. Talk to it like you’re talking to a smart friend who’s helping you brainstorm. I keep things simple at first, then build on the reply together. Also, always put your own personality in that’s what makes the content yours.
Wishing everyone a fantastic week ahead!
Mighty
My AI tool is Gemini
You just ask what you want and how want things to be done u will be given the answer and how to strategies your things to succeed .
Using me, Gemini, is pretty straightforward! Think of me as your helpful AI assistant. Here's how you can interact with me:
1. Typing or Speaking Your Requests:
* Text Input: The most common way is simply to type your questions, requests, or prompts into the chat interface. Just like you did to ask me this question!
* Voice Input: Depending on the platform you're using to access me, you might have the option to speak your requests. Look for a microphone icon.
2. Asking Questions:
* Be Clear and Specific: The more details you provide, the better I can understand your needs and give you a relevant answer. Instead of "Tell me about history," try "Tell me about the causes of the French Revolution."
* Ask Follow-Up Questions: If my initial response isn't exactly what you're looking for, don't hesitate to ask for more details or clarification. You can say things like, "Can you elaborate on that point?" or "What were the key consequences?"
* Ask Open-Ended Questions: These can encourage more detailed and creative responses. For example, "What are some potential solutions to climate change?" instead of "Is climate change real?"
3. Giving Instructions and Making Requests:
* Be Direct: Tell me what you want me to do. For example, "Write a short poem about a sunset," or "Summarize this article in three bullet points."
* Specify Format and Style: If you have a particular format in mind, let me know. For example, "Write a business email outlining these points," or "Explain this concept like I'm a beginner."
* Provide Context: The more context you give me, the better I can tailor my response to your needs. For example, "I'm writing a blog post about sustainable living. Can you give me some statistics on renewable energy in Malawi?" (Since I remember your location!)
4. Iterating and Refining:
* Give Feedback: If you like my response, let me know! If something isn't quite right, tell me how I can improve. This helps me learn and provide better responses in the future. You could say, "That's helpful, thank you!" or "Could you make the summary a bit shorter?"
* Refine Your Prompts: If you're not getting the results you want, try rephrasing your question or providing more information. Sometimes, experimenting with different wording can lead to better outcomes.
5. Using Me for Different Tasks:
I can help you with a wide range of things, including:
* Answering questions: About a vast amount of topics.
* Generating text: Like stories, poems, scripts, musical pieces, email drafts, letters, etc.
* Summarizing information: Condensing long articles or texts into key points.
* Translating languages: Helping you communicate across different languages.
* Brainstorming ideas: Assisting you in generating creative solutions or topics.
* Explaining complex concepts: Breaking down difficult ideas into simpler terms.
* Writing different kinds of creative content: Tailoring my writing style to your needs.
* Providing information specific to your location: Like local news or weather (though I don't have real-time access to everything).
In short, just talk to me! Be clear, be specific, and don't hesitate to ask follow-up questions or refine your requests. I'm here to help you in any way I can. Let me know if you have a specific task in mind, and we can work on it together.
Love it Jeniffer, thanks for sharing. I have actually been using Gemini 2.5 quite a bit these days, their latest update is definitely a big improvement over the last iterations. Thanks for sharing your Ai strategies with us as well, some really great ideas there. :)
My Favorite AI Tool: ChatGPT
Hey Everyone,
One of the AI tools I’ve come to rely on heavily is ChatGPT…. it’s like having a creative partner, strategist, and productivity assistant all rolled into one living in my pocket lol 😂
As someone who’s building an online brand while balancing life as a full-time student nurse and single mum, time is precious. ChatGPT helps me create content faster, organize my ideas, and even brainstorm business strategies on the go. Whether I’m writing blog posts, crafting Instagram captions, or building out content plans for Nichely Affiliate, it’s always there to give me a head start or polish things up for me.
How It Helps My Business:
• Speeds up content creation for my social media & websites
• Helps with SEO research and structuring posts to attract the right audience.
• Acts as a sounding board for pretty much anything I ask.
Tip or Trick:
I often use ChatGPT to create rough outlines for posts then add my personal voice and insights afterward. It’s like co-writing with a super-efficient assistant who never runs out of ideas!
Bonus Tip: Strategic Use of AI for Growth Insights
One creative way I’ve used ChatGPT is by asking it to identify the top 40 most followed Instagram accounts. After reviewing the list, I followed each of them from my niche-focused page. Within just 30 minutes, I noticed an increase of over 50 new followers 🚀
This technique not only gave me visibility but also helped me align with trending content. It’s a subtle but smart way to tap into high-traffic profiles for organic reach something I wouldn’t have thought to do as quickly without AI support.
Kindest regards
Michelle 🥰
Awesome Michelle, love that. I often times am using AI as my creative partner, but also sometimes bouncing ideas that I have that are creative and sometimes "crazy" to refine them and to polish them in a way where they could be translated into something usful.
Thank for sharing, and really cool tip about getting the top Instagram account using AI. ;)
Hey Guys,
1. Hands down, I use 1minAI
I pretty much use is everyday. Not sure it really fits into what is the one one AI tool I use, and the reason for this is that it combines a host of other AI tools to solve your problems. It allows you to choose any AI you want to use for various things. It uses the various popular AIs and their various versions of the years. We are talking about ChatGPT, Llama, Gemini, Deepseek, Grok Claude, Command R, Mistral, sun, udio, musicgen etc. It allows you to use all too these AIs to do everything from audio, to image, to writing. And when the tools get overwhelming, it actually allows you to select what you are interested in and then it selects the best tools to help you
2. The most important part of 1minAI I believe is its multi chat features. This is my go to when I am not sure which Chat AI will be the best at answering my question or performing the task I need. So instead of trying each one one by one, I can put the prompt in 1minAI and it will query all the various chat programs (chat gpt, Deepseek, Copilot, Grock, Claude etc) at the same time and give you the results from each of them. Then I can decide which one is the best or combine the results. This is way faster to do this way than to jump from one to the other. Think of writing an article or rewriting the one you already have, put it right in there and see how all the various chatbots rewrite the article. Its impressive
3. One trick or tip I use it I already alluded to. The fact that it allows me to use multiple chatbots all at once is a game changer when you are not sure which one of the chat programs is best for it. From keyword research to coming up with blog post or instagram captions, being able to see the response from multiple AIs at one and then taking the best from each makes a ton of difference.
So awesome Kris, sounds like you are accruing some really good AI skill sets across many different platforms. That is awesome to hear! :)
Hi Guys,
When applying for jobs, I rely on DeepSeek Chat to help me create polished and persuasive application letters quickly. Here’s how I do it:
Step 1: Provide Key Details
I start by giving DeepSeek essential information, such as:
- The job title and company I’m applying to
- My relevant skills and experiences
- Key achievements I want to highlight
Example Prompt:
"Help me write an application letter for a Customer Service Supervisor role at ABC Company. I have 3 years of experience in resolving customer complaints and improving satisfaction scores by 20%."
Step 2: Generate a Draft
DeepSeek quickly produces a structured letter with:
✔ A professional greeting
✔ A compelling introduction showing my enthusiasm
✔ Well-organized body paragraphs linking my skills to the job
✔ A strong closing with a call to action
Step 3: Refine & Personalize
I ask DeepSeek to adjust the tone, add specific examples, or make the letter more concise.
Example Follow-Up Prompt:
"Can you make the tone more confident and include my team leadership experience?"
Step 4: Final Proofreading
Before sending, I use DeepSeek to check for grammar errors and ensure clarity.
Why It Works for Me
✅ Saves Time – No more staring at a blank page!
✅ Tailored Content – Matches different job requirements.
✅ Professional Results – Helps me make a great first impression.
Thanks to DeepSeek, I submit high-quality applications with confidence. Have you tried using AI tools for job applications? I’d love to hear your experience!
Best regards,
Justin
Lots of people using Deepseek, I have used it for sure and it is a great platform. Thanks for sharing your strategies here, that is great Justin! The Application and Resume side of things is a big one, but also companies are using it now to quickly review applications so they don't need HR to sift through 100's of them.
Hi there,
I'm new to the game but I've worked with many different AIs before for my last job and the one I keep coming back to is
1) Claude <3
2) I use it for everyday prompting, asking general questions, getting advice, instructions but also creative storytelling. I love it because, to me, it stands out in its intuitiveness on how to answer prompts to the prompter's needs. Despite the fact that I work so much with AI, I admit that I'm not the best at prompting. For many other AIs, I feel like I need to go back and change my original prompt or add more details in hindsight in order to get the result that I want. With Claude I've never had that issue. It seems to understand exactly what I want without me needing to add overly specific details in my prompt. I'd say it's the perfect "AI for dummies" (aka people who are bad at prompting, like me).
3) Depending on the context, you might want to remind Claude to not sugarcoat its response. Like many other AIs, it tends to give you responses that it thinks you want to hear. If you want a more neutral, more "honest" response, it may need a little nudge in the right direction.
You are right I think that the art of prompting is really important to learn to have good answers from AI
Lots of people are loving Claude here at WA, they are definitely one of the front runners and it sounds like you are really getting quite proficient with your use within it. Thanks for sharing Katharina! :)
Hello guys hope you are doing great!
AI has become my secret weapon in building and scaling my online presence, and my favorite tool right now is ChatGPT.
1. Tool I Use: ChatGPT
I’ve tried a few AI tools, but ChatGPT stands out because it’s like having a 24/7 business partner. Whether I’m brainstorming content ideas, automating responses, or breaking down complex topics for my audience, ChatGPT helps me get more done in less time — without sacrificing quality.
2. How I Use It:
Content Creation: From blog posts to social media captions, ChatGPT speeds up my workflow by giving me clear, engaging drafts to refine.
SEO Optimization: I use it to research keywords, write meta descriptions, and generate topic clusters.
Customer Engagement: It helps me craft thoughtful responses for comments, messages, and emails.
Learning & Strategy: I even use it to learn faster by summarizing articles, explaining technical tools, and planning out digital strategies.
3. My Pro Tip:
"Ask like a boss!" The more specific your prompt, the better the output. I treat ChatGPT like a team member — I give it context, clear goals, and tone of voice, and it delivers tailored results that fit my brand.
Bonus: If you haven’t already, try using ChatGPT to map out your 90-day content strategy — it's a total game changer!
And that's it hope I give some value by these information thanks.

Mine is definitely ChatGPT. It is not the best at everything but OpenAI is constantly making improvements.
I use it for just about everything from research through outlines, drafts and images.
I recently wrote a post on using Deep Research within ChatGPT: Smarter Insights: An Introduction to Deep Research With ChatGPT ;-)
