The Real Reason Your AI Content Isn't Driving Revenue (Yet)
You're Using AI - So Why Does It Still Feel Like a Grind?
Let me guess. Youâve played around with ChatGPT. Maybe youâve asked it to draft an Instagram caption or write a blog post. You were kind of impressed. But youâre not seeing more leads, more engagement, or more income.
And youâre wondering: âIs this it? Did I miss something?â
Nopeâyou just havenât gone deep enough.
AI Isnât Magic, Itâs Multiplication
AI canât fix a broken message. It can multiply whatâs already working. So, if your core content isnât connected to a real offer, a clear audience, and tangible outcomes, AI will just churn out more noise.
But if you know what your audience needs and what youâre inviting them to do?
AI becomes a megaphone.
Start With Your Best Stuff
The secret is starting with something worthwhile to your audience. So much so, that itâs worth repurposing into other formats. This means content that speaks to your ideal clientâs biggest problem and ties directly into your offer.
Ask:
Does this post clearly name a pain point or desire?
Does it teach something useful or spark curiosity?
Does it point back to what I sell? (or to another kind of call to action, like âSubscribe to my Newsletterâ or âSubscribe to my YouTube Channelâ).
If yes, youâve got gold.
Hereâs an awesome prompt for getting to the two most important questions you should be asking before sitting down to write:
1) For whom are you writing, and 2) What are you providing? Otherwise known as âFor whom, so thatâ.
An example:
For Whom: Iâm writing for creators and coaches who are already using AI but arenât yet seeing clear ROI.
So That: They can repurpose one piece of content into 10+ posts across all platforms without burning out.
Hereâs the prompt:
âI am going to train you on the âFOR WHOM / SO THATâ framework.
First, I will give you a topic. After you have the topic, you will write 7 FOR WHOMs (audiences). There are typically 10 âaudiencesâ that can work for any individual topic: - Audience 1: The Beginner - someone who hasnât started doing this âyetâ but wants to, they just donât know where to start. (Easy framework here is anytime someone is a First-Timer, or wants to do something for the first time.) - Audience 2: The Intermediate - someone who has already been doing this thing, they just arenât seeing the results theyâve been looking for (and donât know what theyâre doing wrong and/or what they need to do to fix it/generate the outcome they desire). - Audience 3: The Proficient Expert - someone who has been doing this kind of thing for a while, and is fairly proficient, but is âstuckâ somewhere and unsure of how to break through the level theyâve plateaued at for a while. This usually requires them to change the way they think/break some sort of belief, invest in building a set of new, more valuable skills, or learn how to do something very specific that unlocks a new level of proficiency and/or working with a new level of customer/client. - Audience 4: The No-Budget Person - someone who is trying to do something on an extreme budget, doesnât have very much to invest, but wants to figure out a path forward that doesnât involve spending a bunch of money. - Audience 5: The High-End Option - someone who wants the âFerrariâ of solutions and is willing to invest heavily in acquiring new skills and breaking through to the next level. (This can be applied in lots of different ways. For example, if we were talking about fundraising for startups, this audience might be a startup trying to raise $100M vs. one trying to raise $100k. $100M, in itself, is the high-end option.) Pro tip: âbigâ numbers are the secret here. - Audience 6: The Specific Location - this is a specific type of person anchored to a physical or digital location. So, itâs not just âfor anyone,â itâs for a âspecific type of personâ and that person can be anchored to a physical location (Chicago, Italy, Europe, The US, a specific school, etc.) or a digital location (â On LinkedInâ or âOn Discordâ or âOn Amazonâ etc.) - Audience 7: The Specific Demographic - a more specific type of person based on age, race, gender, socio-economic status, etc., relevant to the topic at hand. For example, if weâre talking about âhow to start writing online,â some demographics might be ââŚas a college student,â or ââŚas a retired widow,â or ââŚas an army veteran,â or ââŚas a Millennial,â etc. Demographics can be a powerful way to niche down to even more specific audiences. - Audience 8: The Specific Outcome - the specific outcome someone desires from this topic. (For example, âTips to buy your first rental propertyâ can speak to all sorts of different audiences depending on the outcome that is being mentioned. Like âTips to buy your first rental property and start building passive revenue in your 20sâ is a different outcome and for a different type of audience than âTips to buy your first rental property without risking any money you have saved for retirement.â - Audience 9: The Sub-Industry - the topic tailored to a specific sub-industry or niche. For example, if the topic is âpersonal development,â the FOR WHOM can become all the different industries that can be applied to, âpersonal development for SaaS startup foundersâ vs âpersonal development for executive coaches,â etc. But the FOR WHOM can also be niches within an industry. So, if the topic is âhow to buy your first rental property,â a different niche might be, âhow to buy your first commercial buildingâ or âhow to buy your first Airbnbâ or âhow to buy your first small hotel chain,â etc., since these are all niches within that industry and would create lots of different types of audiences. - Audience 10: The Specific Product or Service - the topic tailored to a specific sub-industry or sub-audience by niching down on the specific product or service. For example, instead of just saying âmarketing,â you can speak to a more specific audience by saying âemail marketingâ or âemail copywriting,â etc. The more specific you can be on the type of product or service related to the topic, you can tap into new audience segments.
For example, if I give you the topic âInvesting,â you would return something like this: Topic = Investing FOR WHOM (Audience) = - For Single Moms - For Retired Men - For College Students - For Startup Founders - For Crypto Enthusiasts - For Ambitious Middle Schoolers. Then you will ask me FOR WHOM I would like to continue with. I will pick a FOR WHOM and you will give me 7 SO THATs (outcomes) for the audience. For context, there are typically 10 âOutcomesâ that can work for any individual idea: - Outcome 1: Make More - Readers want to make more money and understand how this topic can help them increase their earning potential. - Outcome 2: Save More - Readers want to save money and understand how this topic can help them stop wasting money and/or save more money. - Outcome 3: Stop Losing - Readers want to overcome existing, urgent, sometimes âexpensiveâ pain. They want to STOP some sort of issue in their life, relationship, or business immediately. - Outcome 4: Gain Status - Readers want to know their efforts will lead to sustained credibility, trust, status in their industry or marketplace or ecosystem or even amongst friends/family, and in some cases, even build their legacy. - Outcome 5: Avoid Losing Status - Readers want to know they are taking the right actions and donât have to worry about losing status in any way. They want to be assured theyâre headed down the right path. - Outcome 6: Get There Faster - Readers want to get whatever outcome they want, as fast as possible. (The bigger the outcome, the âfasterâ they want it.) - Outcome 7: Get There Without Pain - Readers want to know youâre giving them the easy way, and it wonât cost them very much money, time, frustration, etc. - Outcome 8: Get There Without Financial Cost - Readers want to know how they can achieve their goal without incurring a financial burden and/or how to do it in the most economical way possible. - Outcome 9: Use Insider Information - Readers want to know theyâre being given a âproven blueprintâ of some kind, and are being shown a shortcut for them to get what they want faster and in some sort of âguaranteedâ way (because itâs been done before). - Outcome 10: Fulfillment - Readers want to unlock some sort of existential outcome as the result of their efforts. They want a new level of happiness, or fulfillment, or a feeling of groundedness and presence, or to âknowâ they are on the right path, etc.
For example, if I gave you the topic âInvestingâ and then chose âFor College Studentsâ you would return something like this: Topic = Investing FOR WHOM (Audience) = For College Students SO THAT (Outcome) = - To Graduate Without Any Debt - To Save Enough Money For Your First Car - To Set You Up For Retirement By Age 65 - etc... Finally, you will ask me what SO THAT I would like to choose. I will pick a SO THAT and you will return the Topic, FOR WHOM, and SO THAT. For example, if I give you the topic âInvesting,â the FOR WHOM âFor College Students,â and SO THAT âTo Graduate Without Any Debt,â you would return something like this: Topic = Investing FOR WHOM (Audience) = For College Students SO THAT (Outcome) = To Graduate Without Any Debt
A few rules for the Outcomes: - Rule #1: Use visceral TANGIBLE language - Rule #2: Be super specific (specificity clarifies what kind, what happens when/if, what does it mean, so that you can what). VAGUE: Gain financial freedom. SPECIFIC: Overcome bad spending habits and build positive ones so you can start investing in stocks, real estate, and digital property this month.

Repurposing = More Touchpoints & Less Burnout
Most creators give up not because they donât have good content, but because theyâre exhausted trying to show up everywhere.
Hereâs where AI shines:
Take one long-form blog, email, or video.â
Ask ChatGPT to break it into 10+ pieces: quotes, carousel posts, reels ideas, tweet threads, etc.
Schedule it out.
Done. No more daily scramble.
You Need Smarter Systems
You donât need to work harder. You just need a smarter system.
