When I started sharing on dev.to, I didn’t expect the response to grow this quickly.
Today, we’ve reached 500 organic followers — and I want to pause and say: Thank you.
Your support has made this space more than just articles — it’s becoming a community. As a token of gratitude, I’m giving away one of my bestselling books:
The Kindle eBook will be free on Amazon.com for 3 days, 28 Aug-30 Aug.
During this window, you can grab the book absolutely free — no strings attached.
You know, when people hear I’ve written 40+ books on AI in just over a year, the first question is always:
“How do you write so much without burning out?”
The answer isn’t coffee or late nights.
It’s systems + AI.
Here’s my exact behind-the-scenes workflow for consistently writing 2,000+ words a day across blogs, articles, newsletters, and scripts. I have 30,000 subscribers on the newsletter without placing a single ad.
Step 1: Start with a Clear Content System
I don’t sit down to a blank page. I start with:
- A topic list (built 30 days ahead)
- A content calendar (what’s posting when)
- Pre-defined templates & frameworks
Insider Information: Using pre-defined Templates & frameworks with AI can increase your speed manyfold.
Step 2: Use AI for Outlines & Structure
Instead of drafting from scratch, I let AI create my scaffolding.
Prompt:
“Create a 10-section outline for a dev.to article on [topic]. Include a hook, subheadings, examples, and a call-to-action.”
This gives me a skeleton. Then I add stories, insights, and context.
Step 3: Write in Focused Blocks
I use the Pomodoro method (50 minutes on, 10 minutes off).
Each block = 500–700 words.
By stacking 3–4 blocks a day, I easily cross 2,000 words — without feeling drained.
Step 4: AI-Assisted Expansion
AI helps me:
- Expand bullet points into paragraphs
- Rephrase sections for flow
- Create examples from different industries
Prompt:
“Expand this bullet into a 200-word section with an analogy and practical example: [paste bullet].”
Step 5: Human Edit + AI Polish
I read every draft myself (tone, storytelling, clarity).
Then I let AI handle grammar, rhythm, and consistency.
Prompt:
“Proofread this draft for flow and readability, but keep my voice confident and simple.”
Step 6: Repurpose Efficiently
Every article → becomes a LinkedIn post, a Twitter thread, or a YouTube script.
This multiplies reach without multiplying work.
Final Thought
Writing 2,000+ words a day isn’t about hustle.
It’s about:
- Having a system
- Using AI as a partner
- Staying consistent with small daily wins
Anyone can do this — once they stop treating writing as an “inspiration” game and start treating it as a process.
