AI – WP Eagle

Creating a Local Business WordPress Website with AI

Alex — Wed, 19 Jun 2024 11:04:59 +0000

In this video, I explain how I created an AI website for my imaginary building firm, Eagle Builders.

The tool I used was the very useful ZipWP.

Take a look at the site—I’ve not edited it; it’s just what the AI created for me.

I think it’s a pretty decent starting point…

The AI site I created

Here’s the process to create your own site or sites for local businesses using AI.

How to Create a Local Business Site with AI

1. Sign-up with ZipWP

You’ll need an account with ZipWP to get up and running.

They have a free plan, so you can test it all out without having to spend a penny.

Once you’re ready, you can upgrade to the right plan for your needs.

The sign-up process is really easy and only takes a minute or so.

2. Start the AI creation process

Once you’re signed up and logged in you can start to create a website with AI.

Click on Create New
Select Complete Website

The blank website option is useful if you want to play around and test out some WordPress stuff, like themes or plugins.

3. Enter the basics

On the next page you simply need to enter some basic information about the business you’re creating the website for.

Enter the business name
Select the type of business it is
Select the language you’d like

4. Enter a description of the business

Here you need to enter as much information as possible about the business. Remember to include the key services and some background stuff about the company.

You can use AI here to help you fill it out.

5. Enter the contact details

This section is straightforward.

Just enter all the contact details, including links to social media.

6. Upload your images or select some stock ones

Now it’s time for the images.

Ideally, you’ll want to upload your own images.

If you don’t have any right now, you can search for and select some stock photos.

7. Select the structure and layout

Based on the information you just provided, you’ll see loads of different designs for your new website.

Select the one you like by clicking on it.

8. Add the logo, select your fonts, and set the colors

You now need to upload your logo. You can always quickly design on in Canva.

Decide if you want to show the site title and adjust the width of your logo so it all looks sweet.

You can also select the fonts and colors you’d like to use on this page.

9. Select the final features

You’re almost done! Select if you want any final features added to your new website.

Then click start building!

You’ll see a confirmation screen.

Click start building again, and the AI will go to work on creating your website.

Step 10: It’s Ready

Once the website is ready, you’ll be given all the necessary information to make your customizations.

Make a note of the username and password now.

To make some changes, click on Customize Website, and you’ll be logged into WordPress.

It’s easy to make changes using the Spectra page builder with the block interface.

And that’s it. You’re all done.

How did it go? Let me know

I hope you were able to get a website setup using AI.

Let me know in the comments how it went! I read all the comments I get.

Create Short Videos from Long Videos Quickly

Alex — Tue, 14 May 2024 18:16:09 +0000

To complete the tutorial you’re going to need Vizard.ai.

It’s really good value, and they have a free version, so you can play around with it to see if it’s helpful for you.

Short form videos are a great way to increase your reach. With platforms like Tiktok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X and Pinterest all supporting them you’re seriously missing out if you’re not creating them.

For my new project, Estepona.Life I’ve gone in hard with social media.

I’ve been publishing daily on all the social networks and most days I’ll post a short video.

And I’ve found that it’s working really well, especially on Instagram.

I do create a lot of the videos from scratch as native short videos but I also create long-form videos and turn them into short videos.

To help me do this, I’ve been using Vizard.ai.

I find it very helpful as it makes editing the short, creating captions and inserting cool emojis really easy.

It can also automatically chop your long videos into short clips using its AI (however, I don’t often use this feature).

Watch the video above for my full process of how I use this tool in the video, but he’s an overview if you’re in a hurry:

My Long to Short Video Process using Vizard

You’ll need to sign up for Vizard.ai first, of course.

Why not try the free plan to get you started?

Step 1: Copy and paste the video link into Vizard

Grab your link from YouTube and paste it into the tool. If you’re not on YouTube for whatever reason, you can just upload the file from your computer.

Step 2: Generate some clips using AI

Click the button, and it will generate some edited clips for you. You can skip this step if you want to edit manually (like I do), but I often run this process anyway because I’m always curious to see what it comes back with.

If you like the clips you can jump into the editor and make your final changes.

Step 3: Decide what you want in your short

I prefer to choose what’s going in my short video. I find the AI often just chooses one section at a time to create the clips whereas I like to use multiple parts of the longer video to create the short.

To do this, click on the edit original video button.

You’ll want to unhighlight the bits that AI has chosen (probably).

You can then go through the transcript and highlight the bits that you want.

You can also correct any errors in the transcript at this point.

Once you’ve highlighted what you want click on the highlights buttons and tick all of the ones you want (all of them probably).

Then click Create Clip, and it’ll do some magic for you.

You can get the tool to auto-reframe, but again I like to do this myself.

It usually only takes a few seconds to create the clip.

Step 4: Make edits to the clip

The editor is pretty easy to use if you’ve ever edited videos before.

Which I’m guessing you have as you’ve got long-form content.

The main thing you’ll need to do is the reframing. Click on the video and adjust the crop and position to do this.

You’ll probably also need to adjust if it’s in 9:16 format or 16:9 format. In the example in the video there is a section where I walk into the pub and it doesn’t look good in vertical format so I adjust it to be widescreen.

You’ll find loads of cool layouts to do this by clicking on the layouts button.

You can also add a background. I always go for the blurry option.

If you need to split sections of the clip, switch to audio view (the toggle is just above the timeline), select where you need to split with the scrubber, and click on the scissor icon.

You’ll want to ensure the video is less than 60s as platforms like YouTube shorts only like videos of that length.

You can reduce the length by dragging the ends of the sections in the video when in audio view.

Step 5: Sort out the captions

Vizard will of already created and added the captions for you.

But you’ll want to position them, style them and probably add some emojis.

Click on subtitles on the left side.

To add Emojis automatically click on the AI button and you’ll find the option.

To style the captions click on style. There are loads of templates included and you can also create your own look.

You can position the captions by dragging them.

You’ll want to position the captions towards the bottom but don’t put them too low or they will be obscured by the text and stuff the social platforms display over your video.

To make further corrections, click on the words in the left-hand panel.

You can also manually add colors and emojis.

Step 6: Export and upload to your social accounts

You’re about done!

Click on export in the top right corner, and your video will be made. You can then download it as an MP4, ready to upload.

To speed up my upload process I use Buffer so I can post to all the networks in one place.

Remember, you can post short videos to YouTube, Facebook Reels, Instagram Reels, X, and Pinterest!

How did it go? Let me know

Did you make an amazing short video? I’d love to know.

Using AI to create Articles from Videos

Alex — Sat, 20 Apr 2024 15:23:00 +0000

In this video, I share my experience using AI tools to convert YouTube videos into articles for this website (like the one you’re reading).

I’ve tried a few different tools, but Google Gemini works best for me.

It does a great job of mimicking my casual and friendly writing style, which is important to me.

Plus, it’s really easy to train Gemini on my own writing style by just pasting an article.

Here’s my process for using Gemini to write articles from my videos:

First, I train Gemini on my writing style by pasting a long article I have written.
Then, I copy and paste the link of the video I want to write an article about.
Finally, I ask Gemini to rewrite the article in my style in the first person.

It’s important to note that I usually rewrite the articles a little bit before publishing them on my website to make them more casual and friendly.

But overall, Gemini is a great tool that saves me a lot of time and effort.

If you’re interested in trying out Gemini for yourself, you can check it out here.

The other tool I use in the video is Harpa.ai.

I’m scared of using AI on my websites

Alex — Tue, 02 Apr 2024 13:51:12 +0000

Building a Website whilst Google rolls out horrible algorithm updates

I’m a big advocate for using smart tools to streamline content creation. So, naturally, I dove headfirst into using AI to help me with the website’s structure and content ideas for my new website around Estepona.

However, I then started to worry about concerns regarding the recent Google core update, which seemed to punish websites with AI-generated content; well, it actually punished websites with high-quality human content.

Stories of legit travel bloggers and even Matt Giovanisci Swim University website getting dinged by Google, despite their fantastic content, filled me with a touch of paranoia.

Here’s the thing: I don’t doubt AI’s potential to be a content creation assistant. But for in-depth website content that truly connects with readers? Maybe not. My Estepona website could turn into a Google graveyard if I relied solely on AI-generated content!

All the content is going to be written by me, by hand along with lots of video content.

So, I’m taking a different route. Instead of chasing search engine algorithms, I’m focusing on building an audience through social media using Buffer to post to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and Twitter. Building a community around Estepona feels like a more sustainable and, frankly, way more fun strategy.

Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or just starting your journey, we’ll equip you with essential tips and techniques to transform your vision into breathtaking images.

Planning Your Yosemite Photography Adventure:

Season’s Greetings: Choosing the Perfect Time to Visit

Each season in Yosemite paints a unique landscape. Spring bursts with vibrant wildflowers, summer showcases roaring waterfalls, fall ignites a fiery foliage display, and winter transforms the park into a serene wonderland.

Permits & Regulations: Capturing Memories Responsibly

Before embarking on your adventure, secure necessary permits for photography in specific areas. Respecting regulations ensures environmental protection and enjoyable experiences for everyone.

Getting Around: Navigating Yosemite Like a Pro

Familiarize yourself with transportation options within the park. Consider different access points and popular photography locations to plan your itinerary efficiently.

Gear Up: Essentials for Capturing Yosemite’s Grandeur

Pack a camera with wide-angle lenses, neutral density filters for long exposures, a sturdy tripod for stability, and backup batteries for extended outings.

Mastering Composition Techniques:

Compose with Confidence: Mastering the Art of Visual Storytelling

Composition is the foundation of captivating photographs. Learn the rule of thirds and leading lines to guide the viewer’s eye and create balanced images.

Foreground Magic: Adding Depth and Interest with Natural Elements

Incorporate rocks, trees, water, or other natural elements in the foreground to add depth, scale, and interest to your compositions.

Framing & Perspective: From Unique Angles to Powerful Panoramas

Explore creative framing techniques using natural arches or doorways. Experiment with different perspectives, like low-angle shots or panoramic vistas, to tell a compelling story.

Capturing the Light:

Dance with the Light: Harnessing the Golden Hour, Blue Hour, and Beyond

The magical lighting during the golden hour (just after sunrise) and blue hour (just before sunset) paints the landscape in warm and cool tones, adding depth and emotion to your photographs.

Long Exposure Wizardry: Unveiling Waterfalls, Stars, and Painted Light

Long exposure techniques allow you to capture the motion of waterfalls, blur moving clouds, and paint light trails in the night sky, adding a touch of magic to your images.

Taming the Midday Sun: Tips for Managing Bright Light

Manage harsh midday sunlight by finding shade, using filters, or employing HDR techniques to capture details in highlights and shadows.

Bracketing & HDR: Expanding Your Dynamic Range

What is the BEST AI Content Writer?

Alex — Sun, 10 Sep 2023 11:01:13 +0000

My favourite AI tools

Let me start by sharing the tools I’ve used to create AI content.

Chat GPT with AIPRM Chrome Extension

When I’m writing content and just need help with a small section of an article I’ll use Chat GPT to help me. Usually to just provide an overview or a starting point.

I’ll use prompts like:

give me 5 truths about niche websites
Rewrite this sentence so it’s more concise
give me an intro paragraph on ‘Does AI content rank on Google?’

For other tasks like keyword research, rewriting articles or other more random specific tasks I’ll use the AIPRM Chrome extension.

It gives you loads of cool prompts…

Koala Writer

For full-length articles, I use Koala Writer.

I like Koala because it gives you a lot of control over the content structure before it’s generated.

It also has built-in prompts for:

Amazon Product Round-ups
Amazon Product Reviews
Writing an article from a YouTube Video
Rewriting entire articles

I’ve been using it to create content for my sites SnackEagle.com and CanYouWash.it and they’ve both been doing well on Google.

Koala also has a cool art generator built into it that delivers some really nice outputs:

Autoblogging.ai

Autoblogging.ai is a tool I’ve been experimenting with for canyouwash.it as I wanted a tool that could help me create good quality content in bulk.

So far, so good.

It generates pretty good content and puts it into your WordPress website. All you have to do is edit.

So that’s what I’m using, but what is everyone else using?

Jamie IF

Favorite AI Tool: Reword

Jamies stressed that AI should be used to supplement human-created content, not replace it.

His favorite AI tool is Reword because:

It has Built-in tools to aid in research and content creation.
It’s adaptive and can be trained.
It’s in continuous development, with new features being added all the time.
It gives you a detailed HUD when working on your content, giving you everything you need in one place.

Kasra Dash

Favorite AI Tool: Autoblogging.ai

Kasra originally had his doubts about AI content but having worked with and helped developer Autoblogging, he’s done a 180 and now believes that AI content has its place.

His loves Autoblogging.ai because:

It delivers concise answers for better snippet ranking.
Great value plagiarism check built-in compared to other tools.
Includes features like FAQ generator and article scorer.

Jaume Ros

Favorite AI Tool: Harpa.ai

Jaume has been using AI to help him create articles from his existing video content.

His tool of choice to do this Harpa.ai because:

It writes good SEO content based on video transcripts (even auto-generated ones).
It’s an easy to use Chrome extension.
It’s free!

Doug Cunnington

Favorite AI Tool: Chat GPT

Doug is unsure of how AI tools fit into the content creation process. He shared his concerns about the potential oversaturation of low-effort AI content, and how search engines will evaluate the value of such content.

However, with that said, he does use Chat GPT, but not to create complete articles. He stressed that Chat GPT is good for:

Creating outlines of articles
It can be useful when writing articles as it can assist with filling out ideas.

Carl Broadbent

Favorite AI Tool: ???

Carl isn’t really using AI at the moment. He believes the best way forward is to use humans to create content for your website.

He has used tools like Chat GPT and Koalla but doesn’t publish AI content directly to his websites.

Theo Ramwell

Favorite AI Tool: ZimmWriter & Koala

Theo is a big fan of Zimmwriter, although he does use Koala sometimes as well.

He loves ZimmWriter because:

Zimwriter is good for efficient mass content creation.
It has a good balance between cost-efficiency and content quality.
The quality of ZimmWriter means the content doesn’t require much editing.

Anthony Fontaine

Favorite AI Tool: Chat GPT

Anthony from Tortoise Cashflow just uses Chat GPT. He loves the control you get by working with prompts.

He chooses Chat GPT because:

Chat GPT allows for easy modifications to article tone and content.
His CHAT GPT Articles rank well and are generating income.
Of it’s simplicity and flexibility in article creation.

Does AI content Rank on Google?

Alex — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 14:22:00 +0000

The Rise of AI in Content Creation

Creating content for websites has changed in a really big way.

With AI tools you can crank our and publish content at rocket speed.

But does it rank? Can it bring in valuable traffic to your website.

Well, I’ve been publishing using AI for a while now and here’s what I’ve discovered..

Does AI Content Rank on Google?

Yes! Yes it does. I’ve been publishing AI content for a while now and it has been ranking well on Google and generating traffic…

Traffic Growth in Google Search Console

The AI Tools I’ve been using

I’ve been publishing using three tools:

Jasper: The original. Jasper was the first AI tool I embraced.
Koala Writer: A newer addition known for its quick content creation capabilities.
ChatGPT: The one everyone knows and loves.

Each of these tools works in a slightly different way and the outputs do vary between them.

Jasper

Jasper is one of the original AI content creation tools I used. It has proven to be effective in generating content that ranks well on search engines. Tracking the keywords from articles created with Jasper, I’ve found that they hold the best positions among the AI tools used on my project.

Get Jasper

Koala Writer

Koala Writer is a newer tool that has impressed me with its ability to create articles quickly. Although I have not tracked as many keywords from Koala-generated content, there are promising signs of success, like an article slowly climbing to page one for the term “can you wash a Carhartt jacket?”

Get Koala Writer

ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a popular AI content creation tool that consistently performs well. In tracking its keyword performance, I didn’t notice any significant difference between ChatGPT 3.5 and 4. It remains a reliable option for generating content that ranks on search engines.

Use ChatGPT

300+ AI articles Published

I’ve published all of the content created with the AI tools to canyouwash.it and I’ve been tracking their rankings with SEMRUSH

Analyzing Performances with SEMrush

I have been using SEMrush to track the keywords and their rankings for my AI-generated content website. This site currently has 363 posts, all created using AI tools like Jasper, Koala Writer, and GPT.

The tracking show that as of June 9th, there are:

14 keywords in positions 1 to 3
34 keywords in positions 4 to 10
26 keywords in positions 11 to 20
37 keywords in positions 21 to 100

I even tagged the keywords with their respective AI tools to compare their performance. While this may not be a truly scientific approach, it does give us a general idea. From my observations:

Jasper seems to hold the best positions
GPT consistently performs well
Koala Writer shows potential but requires more content and time

Regarding the website’s traffic, Google Webmaster Console shows a significant increase in clicks over the past few months. It took about three months for the site’s traffic to rise to around 50 clicks per day, indicating that AI-generated content does attract visitors.

Google Analytics supports this growth in traffic, displaying a similar upward trend with 86 users recorded on a recent day. The site, now monetized with Ezoic, will allow me to observe any effects on rankings and traffic while generating revenue.

From my experience and the results obtained, I can confidently say that AI-generated content can indeed rank on search engines. The success of my website is proof that AI content is feasible when published using a well-structured theme and edited to ensure quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can AI-generated content rank well on Google?

Yes, AI-generated content can rank well on Google, especially when it’s of high quality and not spammy.

Which AI tools are effective for SEO?

Tools like Jasper, Koala Writer, and ChatGPT have shown effectiveness in SEO, with each having unique strengths in content creation.

How does AI content fare in attracting organic traffic?

AI-generated content can attract significant organic traffic, as evidenced by data from Google Webmaster Console and Google Analytics.

Does the type of AI tool affect content rankings?

While each AI tool has its nuances, the overall quality of content is a more significant factor in rankings than the specific tool used.

What do you think?

Are you using AI content? Is it ranking for you? Generating traffic? Making money?
