How I Trained My Own AI Writing Model (And Why You Should Too)

Follow This Easy Method in 30 Minutes

If you’re a techie…

You’ve been experimenting with ChatGPT or Claude, maybe copying prompts from Twitter threads, watching writing tutorials, and still wondering...

Why doesn’t my content sound like them?

Why doesn’t it convert like theirs?

Why is does my AI content get no engagement? (chatgpt image by author)

I was right there too.

Staring at the screen. Writing. Rewriting. Getting content that was fine—but not fire. Something was always missing.

Until I stopped asking AI to be magic… and started training it like a teammate.

And that changed everything.

The Secret Behind “That Writer’s Voice”

I found a writer whose content hit me in the gut. You know that feeling—like they’re speaking to you, not just at you?

So I did something most people don’t.

I copied forty their best performing works into Google NotebookLM and studied it like it was a blueprint for a million-dollar business.

I didn’t just look at what they said—I looked at how they said it. Sentence structure. Section flow. The psychology. The rhythm. The tone.

And I realized something:

Great writing isn’t magic. It’s structure + story + voice.

And all of that can be taught—to a machine.

I Built a Personal Content Engine

I took NotebookLM’s analysis of that writer’s format and trained a ChatGPT Project on it.

It may sound like some fancy technical way. But it’s not. You can copy-paste this system into place in less than 30 minutes.

We’re just showing the AI exactly what ‘top quality content’ looks like, telling the AI the pattern behind that content—and telling it to transform any input into ‘the pattern’.

Then I’ve been feeding it my own ideas.

And what came back?

Scary good.

This is by far the most compelling evidence of the subtle and pervasive presence of AI in everything written online these days.

I could see it in my own work in a way that makes me shake my head in wonder.

And I get those butterflies of excitement in my tummy.

Suddenly, my rough notes turned into powerful, persuasive articles—my ideas, in my voice, but upgraded.

Same message. Better structure. Way more clarity.

It’s like hiring the ghostwriter you always wanted… except it’s you, supercharged.

This Isn’t Just a Writing Hack. It’s a Leverage Machine.

Now, I can take any idea—a podcast rant, a voice memo, a half-written paragraph—and turn it into a full article in the exact tone I want.

And I don’t have to “write from scratch” ever again.

That’s not just a shortcut. That’s leverage.

Because when you stop staring at blank pages and start scaling your voice, everything gets easier:

  • Emails almost write themselves.

  • Landing pages get more persuasive.

  • Content becomes consistent.

  • And publishing stops feeling like a fight.

But Most People Will Never Do This…

Because they’re stuck chasing “better prompts.”

They’ll keep asking AI for generic blog posts.

They’ll keep wondering why it doesn’t sound like the best?

They’ll never realize the real power isn’t in the AI—it’s in the training.

Most people consume. A few create.
Even fewer train their tools to create like the best.

Which one are you?

Here’s How You Can Start Today

You don’t need to build a GPT from scratch. You just need to teach the one you have. Here’s how:

  1. Pick a Writer You Love – Someone whose work makes you nod, screenshot, or save.

  2. Break Down Their Structure – Use Google NotebookLM to look for common headlines, section counts, transitions, voice.

  3. Train a ChatGPT Custom GPT – Or just paste examples into a single thread and say: “Mimic this structure and tone.”

  4. Feed It Your Ideas – Messy voice memos. Bullet points. Rants.

  5. Let It Rewrite for You – Then edit lightly and publish.

Do this once, and you’ll never write the same way again.

Final Thought

You don’t need to be a better writer.

You need a better system.

I built mine by studying greatness and turning it into a replicable engine. Now I write faster, better, and more consistently—with way less stress.

And if you’re tired of overthinking your content?

Start training your AI like a partner.

Because the tools are here. But it’s what you teach them that separates the noise from the results.
