Since venturing into the startup world in 2021 as a technical solo founder, I always had to pursue advice on the non-technical stuff such as marketing. When starting out as a boostrapped project, it’s commonly adviced that you should focus on direct outreach and skip any SEO/Content Marketing work.

But I’m wondering if this memo changed recently due to all the advancements in AI and text generation. What took 10 hours to write can now take 3 with the right automations setup. So if this change means that it would be good idea for founders to semi-automate their content marketing even in the very early stages.

To be clear, by early stage I mean you have a few users and maybe handful of customers not a blank zero. Also by ‘content automation’ I wouldn’t solely rely on ChatGPT to generate my blogs, but it for sure can help me with research, ideation, drafting, and reviewing.

What do you guys think?
