How I Used a Team of AI Assistants to Build A ChatGPT Blog Writing Engine That Writes Like Me
I’ve been told more than once that my greatest skill is managing people. I’m a concept guy. A thinker. I like to have big ideas, then find the right people for the job.
Unfortunately, big ideas take teams. And not everyone has the budget for a dream team of talent. When I started my blog mill, neither did I.
Last year, I was recovering from a serious illness. CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) had taken more than a year of my life.
Besides taking my time, this illness had taken my business and savings. If you’re interested, you can read about my journey here.
In this blog post, I will show you how I turned $20 into a business that creates high-quality blogs — using nothing more than ChatGPT.
How I Started a ChatGPT Blog Writing Business for $20
Most people don’t have a recruitment budget. But they do have a spare $20. And with that, you can access a never-ending supply of talent. If you’ve got the imagination and drive to use it properly, that is.
The first business I built using AI was a blog mill.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: emotionless, SEO-choked gibberish. The same blocky content you’ve tripped over a hundred times online. But this wasn’t that.
I didn’t just ask ChatGPT to “write me a blog post.” I built a structured, task-focused team of AI assistants, each responsible for a specific stage of the process.
I didn’t want to churn content. I wanted a lean, scalable, automated business. So I sat down and built my first AI dream team.

My Hybrid Human + ChatGPT Blog Writing System
Luckily, I already understood the mechanics of good blog writing. I am a writer at heart, and I understand SEO.
My first AI writing attempts were a disaster. I made the classic mistake. I wrote a prompt based on the “act like” principle.
I asked ChatGPT to act like a blog writer with a world of experience. I requested a blog post about travel accessories. What I received was emotionless garbage.
My initial belief was that I could get better results if my prompt was longer. The result? I fell into the classic “give AI personality” trap.
I wrote a long prompt with phrases such as:
- “You are an expert writer.”
- “You have been a lifelong traveler.”
- And rather embarrassingly:
“You are an excellent communicator and SEO expert, with a high standard of education.”
The results from these prompts were terrible.
All I had managed to do was take emotionless garbage and add a pretentious personality.
Basically, I wrote a long-winded prompt that said, “You can do it all. You’re an expert in everything,” without giving any clear guidance or context.
Then I had an idea.

My final attempt before I went back to the drawing board was a prompt so long it could have been an 800-word blog post.
The result? I broke ChatGPT — by giving it too much information, and not enough context.
I then decided to sit down with a pencil and paper. I drew the blog writing process.
If I write a blog, I don’t open a blank document and start writing.
First, I will plan the SEO. Then I will research the topic. After this, I will write my first draft. So, I decided to do the same with AI.
I split my operation into three roles:
- SEO Assistant (keyword research + post planning)
- Research Assistant (fact gathering + tone shaping)
- Editor Assistant (tightening + polishing)
And in the middle sat me: the “very part-time” writer.
The results this time were better. I had three separate AI assistants performing three separate tasks.
But there was something missing.

How to Train ChatGPT to Write Like a Human
Let’s imagine this is a blog mill with real people.
You are the CEO. You’ve invested money finding an office and buying equipment. You’ve also dedicated time — and more money — into recruitment.
On the first day, would you walk into the office, stand on a box, and yell,
“Write me ten 750-word blog posts on sports drinks!”?
Of course not.
You’d onboard your team. Align them on the mission. Set the tone and standards. Before introducing your “house” writing style.
So here’s the question: why do people treat AI differently?
I’ve written extensively on the subject of AI onboarding — and a process I like to call Psychological Coding.
You can read more about AI onboarding and Psychological Coding here.
What did I do with my team of ChatGPT Blog writing assistants?
I trained them.
Unfortunately, AI knows too much, and can’t see the wood for the trees.
Unless you show it what wood actually is — and more importantly, what your wood looks like.
How to Teach SEO to Your ChatGPT Blog Writing Assistant
Ask any SEO professional, and they’ll tell you that structure wins. So I took a free SEO course, distilled the best bits, and built a mini training manual.
I didn’t ask my AI assistant to “act like an SEO expert.” I gave my assistant goals and examples.
I didn’t want keyword-stuffed fluff. I wanted:
- Long-tail, voice-friendly queries
- Sourced facts
- Reputable links
- Quotes from industry leaders
My SEO prompt wasn’t short. It read more like a blog post.
It delivered context to a very broad request.
“Provide SEO” opens hundreds of doors and possibilities.
“Provide good SEO” is lazy.
“Provide SEO matching my requirements.” That resulted in the SEO and research I actually wanted.
So, I could put this to the test. I asked ChatGPT the following question:
What prompt delivers the best results — “Give me the best SEO for my project” — or — “I give you the best SEO and ask you to perform those tasks”
This was the reply:
- “Give me the best SEO” → You’ll get a generic answer: lists of keywords, on-page tips, backlink ideas. It’ll be good, but it’ll be a “greatest hits” version with no tailoring to your site, niche, or resources.
- “I give you the best SEO and ask you to perform those tasks” → You’re now feeding me your strategy or your preferred SEO method, and I can execute that exact playbook — writing meta descriptions, generating keyword-rich articles, structuring your internal links, etc. This works much better because:
- You’re anchoring my output in a proven or chosen framework.
- I can spend less time guessing what’s best and more time doing the work.
- You can iterate and refine faster because we’re working from a shared baseline.

How I Trained ChatGPT to Write in My Voice
Here’s the thing: I didn’t want to become a full-time blog writer again. And most AI-written content is garbage. So I built something better — a hybrid system that could write like me.
I’m a writer. I’ve got hundreds of half-finished pieces buried in Google Drive. So I uploaded them, let ChatGPT study my style, and built a voice model.
Then I added a twist: I started using voice chat in Google Docs. I’d skim a few blogs, drink a coffee, and speak my thoughts aloud. That raw, unfiltered audio — combined with the structured SEO and niche research — became the input for my AI “mini-me.”
The early drafts weren’t great. But I edited them with ChatGPT — and it learned. Each edit was feedback. Each conversation, training. And then something amazing happened: it got better. Quickly.
Let me be blunt. For this to work, you need two things. First, you need a voice.
Secondly, you need some writing talent.
Luckily, I have both.
How I Turned Travel Stories Into AI Blog Content
One blog mill project involved writing about dozens of travel destinations. After an hour of reading what other people had written, I was bored stupid.
Each blog post contained the same tips.
The same clichés.
The same shallow SEO bait.
So I built a second writer — trained the same way, but this time, I made it personal.
I guess you could call me a digital nomad. I’ve spent a huge portion of my life traveling around whilst making money remotely.
Some even call me a pioneer, as I started my digital nomad journey in 2003.
As a result, I have a lot of experiences.
Those experiences make great stories.
So, I shared those stories with my AI writing assistant.
I told hostel horror stories. Bus breakdown nightmares.
I shared brutal hangovers.
I let ChatGPT interview me about my travels — and told it to use that material.
The result?
It started writing with memory, emotion, and feeling.
After our long conversation, I gave my AI writing assistant a task.
I asked it to write 1,000 words:
“Travel Like a Guru – How to Experience Thailand on a Budget.”
The results were fantastic.
