I believe the blank page approach is better suited for writing fiction or artistic creative work. When your focus is rather creative problem-solving, meaning that you aim to help people solve problems they might have, in a creative way, a more data-backed approach wins. Cause otherwise, how well can you respond to people's actual problems?
I love that you kept the creative wrestling but redirected it toward better problems. It reminds me of how good research doesn't eliminate the hard thinking, it just ensures you're thinking hard about questions worth answering.
This is great, Wyndo! Within the last month, I also moved the biggest part of my newsletter creation to a customized Claude project I use weekly. However, you gave me some great new ideas to try and add to it!
My newsletter is just over a month old… so I’m resisting automation for now. I’m a big believer in “feeling the pain first” only then automation becomes truly useful. Would you do it differently?
P.S. I’m already dreaming up some context-specific systems for later.
if u dont have any strong data yet, i'd suggest to follow your full intuition, write anything that excites u, there's nothing better than that. later on once you have a better understanding about what to write and what resonate most with readers, then combine with automation :)
WOW. This is extraordinary. Definitely going to implement this. The more we can connect AI to real data, the better we can have it perform extraordinary work for us.
This is such a great system, Wyndo! The way Claude helps you spot high-performing content is seriously impressive, I’d probably click on some of those suggested titles if I saw them from a stranger.
I’ve been sitting on a long list of ideas I want to write about, but I really like your approach of filtering by common pain points. That feels so smart and practical!
Great framework, Wyndo!

yeah i think it's true. listening to readers matter more in our line of work and AI unlocks its possibilities :)

true, with AI, we'll have more options to choose, we will wrestle with more ideas, the hard thing becomes how to judge which options worth exploring!

Looking forward to see creative ways you are going to use it Joel!
You can also run a poll to ask your community… lazy mode 😅
feeling ashamed to admit i haven't use substack's poll yet, gonna try this soon 😄
I really enjoyed seeing your approach! 🙋🏻♀️

Thought so, too. Thank you!!:)

AI makes more sense if it knows our data, thats why tool integration has been a game-changer for me.

Thanks Jenny!
I feel like with AI, we are easily surrounded with ideas to explore, now the question is which one worth pursuing?
Awesome stuff! Lots of great ideas for implementation here. Never knew Claude could integrate with so much.
Claude is wild for app integration these days
Is there a set of prompts that could take all my saved many Google bookmarked article links and put the article in my refworks.
Brilliant framework. I’ve found the same thing. AI becomes exponentially more useful when it’s trained on your voice and past content.
