Are you like me and run out of content ideas rather quickly?

In this article I show you how to never run out of content ideas.

This will feature a little bit of magic from our friend AI.

Remember: AI is your friend.

By that I mean you can spend time asking ai’s such as ChatGPT or Perplexity for ideas on how to make a video.

In fact: I made an app that does just this.

Top 5 Tools for AI Content Creation

Content Creation with AI: Is it the Future?

AI Content Creation is all the craze nowadays. Whether you are wondering how to write a script for a YouTube video or just using it to research YouTube content ideas, it can be a lot of fun.

Many people have written on Google about how they are at the forefront of science. However, I really mean it this time. Content creation ideas can now be turned from mere concepts into creation in mere minutes.

In this article, I will talk about my 5 favorite AI tools for Content Creation. These AI content creation tools range from AI tools that help create social media content ideas to blog content ideas. In other words, I wouldn’t be surprised if you could use these AI tools interchangeably with ChatGPT in the upcoming years.

Without further ado, here is the list of my 5 favorite AI Content Ideas tools.

My Favorite AI Tools for Content Creation

Perplexity AI - Perplexity AI has the potential to be the best AI tool for content writing. The reason for this is simple: Perplexity allows for the searching of the web with AI, and therefore allows authors to collect sources. With just a few clicks, authors can collect facts about a certain topic and get a list of sources with Perplexity. Not only this, but Perplexity is also allowed to search the web to a thorough detail. Usually, when one says they are searching for a needle in a haystack, it sounds like an unreasonable feat. However, Perplexity performs the impossible.

ElevenLabs - ElevenLabs allows for voiceovers to be created with AI. Although this is not the best of the AI Content Creation tools, it is still worth mentioning. Maybe you can’t talk and still want to make videos without having to pay someone on Fiverr? This is a perfect use-case for the ElevenLabs VoiceOver with AI feature. Also, sorry if that is you, but enjoy ElevenLabs!

Jasper AI - Jasper AI allows you to create blog posts with AI. It would be great, but I think Google has implemented AI Detection software in the Algorithm. So Jasper was good before Google started penalizing blogs for having AI Writing.

InVideo AI - Next is InVideo AI. This AI allows you to generate a video with AI! Though I don’t recommend this because I find AI content to do poorly.

Viral AI - Next up is Viral AI. Viral AI allows you to ideate your content creation and helps with content ideas. To try Viral AI, just click the link here.

5 Best Digital Marketing Books to Make You A Marketing Wizard

Brendan Mulhern — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 03:10:40 +0000

Many factors go into making the perfect non-fiction book. Take the Intelligent Investor, for example. It meets all the requirements. Is it based on fact and includes a successful main character? Check. Does it have a sense of righteousness, i.e., the main character worked hard and the hard work paid off? Check.

However, this article will focus on Digital Marketing Books. Much like the Intelligent Investor, these books are about outsmarting your opponents. However, they will be about search engine marketing and become rich from the traffic. Occasionally, there will be a social media marketing book, such as the Laptop Millionaire, which talks extensively about Facebook Marketing.

However, most of these books focus on Digital Marketing and not Investing, sadly. Without further ado, here are my 5 Favorite Digital Marketing books.

Laptop Millionaire - Mark Anastasi

This book is a great one. It talks about the Laptop Millionaire who goes from homeless to a millionaire in a few years. He does so with viral book marketing on ClickBank. He then goes on to talk about how he learned many ways to make a passive income with search engine marketing. This book is a favorite of mine, and I definitely recommend it.

Click Millionaires - Scott Fox
Click Millionaires is a book about a community of people who make money through the internet and in abundance.

4 Hour Work Week - Tim Ferris
The 4 Hour Work Week is a great book for everyone hoping to only work for 4 hours a week, which is everyone. Ripe with information on different ways the author, Tim Ferris, made a passive income and got to travel the world. My favorite part of this book is when Ferris writes about living in an apartment in Paris and writing a book.

Traction - Gabriel Weinberg
Traction is a book written by one of the DuckDuckGo Founders and is quite controversial. This book focuses on Product Led Advertising, or the process of having your product sell itself through word of mouth or search engine traffic. Another great read, but I only recommend it if you want to have your own software product to market.

How I made $10 Million from Affiliate Marketing - Antoine Walker
This book is crazy. All about how this dude made 10 Million Dollars marketing other people’s products. He would use ads and other sem strategie,s and it's truly a great read.

This was it! My 5 Favorite Digital Marketing Books! Please give my app Viral AI a look here: Viral AI

AI is eating the world

Brendan Mulhern — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 02:35:12 +0000

In 2011, Marc Andreessen famously said: "software is eating the world".

The year is 2025. Though most of the world has already been ate by software: I think we are witnessing a new phenomenon.

"AI is eating the world".

Think about it: in 2011 we had such companies as Google and Facebook "eating" up the GDP.

Now look at the world: companies like Nivdia are now more than a Trillion Market Cap.

AI is the newest software to eat the world.

What to do about it?

The only constant is change.

Those who can change with the rising tide will prevail.

Those who cannot: won't.

It helps if you are struggling to be a creator.
