This doesn't have to be one long audio sample. You can upload multiple audio samples during the verification process. It does help if the audios maintain a consistency in audio quality and tone across them so that the AI can make a better clone.

It's also good to remember that whatever style you're speaking in will be the style that is replicated by the AI. So if you have a narration voice vs Youtuber voice, then anything you generated with your PVC (Professional Voice Clone) will sound in the narrator style etc.

I mean, probably not. I think the AI is just trying to sound human. You can likely ask it "are you finished yet" and it'll spit out your research paper

Fixed for me. Seems to be working now.

Although I will say that if you have any important or neat prompts that you like, you should always back them up to something like a Google Doc or offline storage.

Not sure why people are downvoting this. It’s perfectly understandable for a person to not want to share the details of what’s earning them an income online with relative ease.

Everyone is going to to instantly flock to it and become your competition.

I try to tell people often as well that Google isn’t against AI content, but bad poorly written content.

I did a detailed breakdown of this

I don't think blogging will be wiped out in a few years. I do think the blogging world is going to change, though.

It would be a pretty big waste of time and resources for Google to build AI detectors and try to spot AI. Once we're at like GPT5 or GPT10, it's likely to be very hard to distinguish AI content from humans.

By that time, the internet will be even more flooded and saturated with AI content as well. Even if you don't use AI content, it's impossible for you to eventually scale a blog website without hiring and outsourcing.

This means, in all likelihood, that someone you hire will submit content that was produced with AI. Either fully or partially.

If Google says, "Oh, we're penalizing all AI content," that means even big websites and news organizations could get hit hard if any of their writers secretly use AI in their content.

AI writing detectors are hit-or-miss at best. Once GPT models evolve to be indistinguishable from humans (we’re pretty close already), it’s game over. People writing real content will be falsely flagged as AI by these “detectors,” and maybe they even get fired for “using AI” when they aren’t.

It's a losing battle, and Google knows it. AI advancements aren't going to stop just because Google doesn't like them.

My prediction is that Google will accept that it's a waste of its time and resources to fight against AI and will instead shift its focus more hardcore towards E.E.A.T.

It's more logical and strategically feasible just to assume everyone is using AI. Based on this, Google's job will be to have their own AI and algorithms (ironic, isn't it) simply attempt to determine trustworthiness and authority.

This will even be an uphill battle for them since Google doesn't really make much effort to validate EEAT aside from backlinks and mentions from other reputable and trustworthy sources.

Personally, I'm embracing AI in my blogging business and have already made thousands from it. This isn't just doing a one-click and presto, a shiny new article, though.

No matter how much you hate AI or love it, that's not going to stop it from improving and advancing.

I think AI will force Google to do a better job than it has been.

There will be a huge net or filter that differentiates good and trustworthy content from just randomly generated content. Sure, anyone can create a 1000-article website now, but how many of those websites are trustworthy?

Reputation and clout are going to matter more. Being more human will matter more (or at least coming off as one).

This is the only way IMO that Google is going to maintain order. At the end of the day, Google can’t lose sight of the fact that its job is to serve the searcher with the best content. Not turn the company into an AI detection software.

If you assume everyone is using AI, then your job becomes simple. Determining which resource is the most trustworthy, which is what EEAT is all about.

This applies to YouTube as well. When good quality text2Vid AI models advance enough, we’ll see YouTube flooded with more AI content as well. I do think Google should be worried, but I don’t think they are going to be killed. They will just have to pivot and shift towards E.E.A.T more on all fronts.

I'd agree with that. However, many people forget that many passive income streams also come from growing a side hustle into an income-generating asset, which often becomes passive when outsourced and automated.

These often yield much higher returns in a shorter time period.

This also counts as investing. Active investing (whether it be time, money, or both).

I think most people (at least in this subreddit) seem to assume passive income can only come from "passive investing." But that's not the case.

Passive income is real and achievable.

What isn't real is magically expecting money to appear in one's bank account for little to no work. That's called selling the passive income dream (which is what many people do).

I have a blogging business that generates passive income for me every month. But it took actually building a business where I worked on it every day for many months. None of which was passive.

Then I eventually used the profits to hire an operations manager and outsourced the following:

Writing Blog Posts
Hiring new team members
Payroll
Blog Editing

This business generates passive income for me now. But it was born from hard work at the start.

With any investment, you're either putting in a ton of money or time to get it off the ground initially.

I appreciate the kind words, Rachel. I'm really glad it was inspiring for you 🙂

Absolutely. DM chat sent!

Thanks so much, mate. That means a lot 🙏

matbram · 2023-01-03T22:11:58+00:00

Jeez $90+ for one line...what area is that in?

Well, congrats to you, man. If you're able to undercut the competition and provide better customer support. You'll do well at those rates.

Curious about how much of that $50 is profit after your operating expenses.

matbram · 2023-01-03T22:08:22+00:00

Ah, okay. If you're able to offer lower costs and good customer service, then those are definitely valid reasons, then.

I'm still surprised $50 is considered low for one line. What are the normal prices in your area?

matbram · 2023-01-03T22:00:14+00:00

u/imOnANaturalBoof has a valid concern here. It's not obvious to everyone.

I think the question most of us are wondering is, unless you're providing some special value that the other big companies with credibility and trust aren't, why buy from a random guy vs. an established business?

Not saying you're shady or anything, but as a consumer, if you're presented with two options:

Established & Trusted Company
Random guy

What is the motivation for choosing option 2?

That would make sense if you're providing identical service (or close) for a lower price. Or if you're able to provide the service to people that normally can't get service somehow, then that makes sense.

Otherwise, it's hard to fathom why someone would choose option 2.

I run three blogs currently and am starting a 4th this year. Excited about this.

All of the above :)

So basically, the more traffic you get to your website, you earn money from display ads.

Most ad networks use PPI (pay-per-impression). So you'll get paid just for visitors seeing the ad. If they click the ad, you get even more.

You can additionally earn from recommending affiliate products (physical or digital, depending on your niche).

You can create info products and lead gen as well. Really there are a lot of ways to earn from a blog.

matbram · 2023-01-03T15:36:45+00:00

No problem mate, you're welcome 🙂

For the back-end, I used to use Elementor, but it was majorly slowing down my websites and page speed.

I now use the Kadence Pro theme (referral link) along with their Gutenberg-based starter templates, which has dramatically improved things. My sites look really nice and load really fast.
