Making money from passive income is the writers dream lifestyle.

You write the words, and the money keeps flowing.

And now, AI Tools provide never-know-before powers to writers, and this is my step-by-step process to take advantage!

The opportunity to connect new users to these new power tools, brings with it a way to make serious passive income and achieve the writers dream!

Over the past year, I’ve collected just over 40 top quality tools that are worth talking about.

And when I first thought about creating a series of tutorial articles for each of these AI Tools, I was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of work involved.

The idea of writing a mini-net of search engine optimized how-to articles for each of the 40 affiliate products was just too daunting to consider, especially because affiliate sales income generally has a long lag-time from promotion to your pocket.

However, everything changed when I started automating content with MAKE.

I started building AI Agents, modeling writing styles using AI, and the result totally blew me away.

Today, I want to share my journey and how you, too, can easily build an SEO Mini-Net of articles that make affiliate sales and generate passive income.

The Early Struggles and Skepticism

Initially, like many of my readers, I was skeptical about using AI for writing affiliate articles.

Actually, my first attempts were less than stellar.

I remember generating articles, only to realize they were low budge. They lacked the personal experience and personal story I was aiming for.

I went through several weeks of frustration, disappointment and starting again with a number of new approaches.

For a while I really questioned whether the AI could craft an article that felt like a personal story.

A Glimmer of Hope

Determined not to give up, I happened upon an author who spoke about different writing formats.

I researched more using ChatGPT and began to uncover what was hidden in plain sight.

I began to see inside the "Do and Show" model of writing an article.

Then I created a Custom GPT, I trained it on the best ‘Do and Show’ style articles that I could find, and started to reformat my own articles into the new article style.

It really blew my mind. Try it out yourself.

Seeing my own articles re-formatted this way was a light-bulb moment for me.

➤ It was truly an educational moment for me as a writer.

This approach has been a game-changer for my writing and for my automations.

Instead of just talking about the benefits of AI tools, the articles began telling a personal story and showing how these tools can be used effectively.

This hands-on article style simply resonates more with readers.

Experimenting with AI Automations

At the same time that I’m learning about better writing, I started creating tutorial about MAKE Automations, at first just to promote the Make referral program, but then the results spoke for themselves.

The Turning Point: Automation with AI Writing

The real breakthrough came when I automated my article creation process.

I discovered that I could train the AI within my automation in much the same way I created the Custom GPT - and it could create story-formatted articles in seconds.

I couldn’t sleep well that night. I knew what I had to do.

A Spreadsheet of 40 Referral Programs

Inspired, I started to get organized for an article sequence that I can repeat every couple months - demonstrating this passive income idea by doing it myself and reporting on the results I achieve along the way.

I created a spreadsheet of all the referral programs and I’ve started adding personal partnerships into the series.

It took me a few days of mind-numbing data collection to fill out the fields of data the automation would need. But I pressed through the boredom because I see the bigger picture in a year from today.

This amazing setup allowed me to plan a sequence of articles for the next 40 days, each day covering a different AI tool and it’s referral program.

Using a combination of Google Sheets, customized GPT prompts and MAKE automations, I managed to cut down the time spent on each article from four hours to less than 20 minutes.

Astonishing.

Focus on Process Not Results

Each day I am manually running the Make Blueprint to generate the next article in the series, and after formatting and publishing, I manually run the social media automation and share the new post.

Some days I’ll generate several articles and schedule these posts in advance.

That means that my content pipeline will be full for more than a month running through the sequence for the first style of article.

At the end of this sequence my dedicated Publication on Medium will contain over 40 new articles - one article for each of the referral programs.

SEO Cluster of Experience Articles

Once the automations have created one article for each referral program, the sequence will begin again and the automation will create a related, but different format of article.

I will automate four or five different series of articles for each partnership in our spreadsheet, creating SEO Cluster of articles, or a mini-net of related posts for each referral partner on our promotion sequence.

Article Styles in Our Experiment

1. The Do and Show Article Style

2. The Epiphany Article Style

3. The Problem, Agitate, Solve Article Style

4. The Before, After, Bridge Article Style

5. The Hero’s Journey Article Style

6. The Success Story Article Style

Building a Sustainable Passive Income Stream

As I continued publishing and promoting my AI referral articles, I will report on traffic stats, follower counts, Medium earnings and affiliate sales.

The intent is that this mini-net of articles will start to connect a consistent stream of visitors to learn about the tool.

The value of the tool itself will prove which of our partnerships create the greatest passive income.

This plan for creating a passive income stream can be applied to any niche, but it is not intended to be an overnight miracle. 

This content investment is intended to develop of a steady stream of inbound organic traffic that will produce lasting revenue.
