@theothemarketer — Running a $4k/month AI-assisted content operation
I've hired and trained someone to create chatGPT-assisted articles for my blog. I pay her $4,000/m.
Right now, she's doing 1 article per day at about 5000 words. This includes images, internal links, formatting, all my onpage secrets!
In September, I'm going to join her with [link]
Honestly, the number that sticks is the output: 5,000 words per day with images, internal links, and SEO formatting — all from a single trained operator plus ChatGPT. That's not just "AI helps me write"; that's a workflow where the human role is quality control and domain knowledge, not raw production. The $4k/month cost versus what that content output would cost in pure human writing time is the real signal here.
Only 1 of 2 bookmarks from this week had usable content for this format. The other was a generic self-help link with no original take.
