Lazy writing is dead. AI can draft. But it can’t dig into niche research, find the insight no one else spotted, and turn it into a headline worth clicking.

That’s my zone.

I write B2B content that sounds like a real person, solves a real problem, and gets real results. SEO blogs, brand voice systems, strategy docs, founder POVs—if it involves words and outcomes, I’m in.

🧠 Research-heavy, not regurgitated
🎯 Built around reader intent, not just keywords
💡 Thoughtful enough to teach, sharp enough to convert
⚡️ And always edited with a knife—not a feather

Want content that moves people and metrics?
Let’s talk.

Senior Writer & Editor @dslx | AI can’t do what we do

We did have fun. You just can’t tell from our faces.

Editing is just deleting sentences you were emotionally attached to.

Every writer knows the pain.

The bar for content is no longer “helpful.” It’s “reliably useful for revenue.”

Our roles have shifted from Writer → content operator (research, structure, distribution, refreshes, repurposing).

What does that mean for every piece? We need to:
✅ pull real language (reviews, help docs, forums)
✅ map intent to decision (not keywords to headings)
✅ write for skim first, depth second
✅ add “proof blocks” (examples, screenshots, quotes)
✅ publish + refresh schedule (because ranking is maintenance)

What part of the “content engine” do you want to get better at this quarter?

We writers all have one thing in common: We can’t leave a perfectly fine sentence alone. 😅

Most of the time, I have an internal argument with my personalities about punctuation. One of them LOVES an em dash. The other one goes: “Don’t you dare. Keep it clean.”

And yes, there are more:

- I say “quick edit” like it’s a truthful phrase.
- I edit while I’m writing, so the doc moves at the speed of pain.
- I add “fix later” notes and somehow they survive until the final draft.
- I research one tiny detail and end up 17 tabs deep like I’m writing a dissertation.
- I cut “unnecessary words” and accidentally delete the only line with actual meaning.
- I do “one last pass” and it turns into a full personality change for the piece.

Anyway. That’s me.

What’s your toxic trait at work? 😅

Most AI content isn’t bad because it’s AI.
It’s bad because nobody bothered to be responsible for it.

Here’s how AI usually is used:
Prompt → paste → publish → blame “the algorithm” when it fails

Here’s how you should it instead:

▶️ stress-test structure (is the logic tight?)
▶️ generate counterarguments (what would a skeptical reader say?)
▶️ find missing steps (what did I assume the reader knows?)
▶️ create variations after the idea is great

AI can speed up execution, but it cannot replace taste, judgment, and context.

Do you use AI more for drafting, or for editing and thinking?

Here’s how I use LinkedIn to its full potential (in 3 extremely easy steps)

Shaz: Spend a day with me on LinkedIn

You can do everything “right” and still not rank.

Here’s the pattern I see when a great article doesn't leave an impact:

1. It targets a keyword, not a decision
2. It explains the topic, but doesn’t answer the real question behind it
3. It has information, but no proof (examples, comparisons)
4. It looks like every other post on page 1

Here's a simple fix. Before you write, define the “reader’s next move.”
Subscribe? Book a demo? Shortlist tools? Copy a template?

Then you can write backwards from that. If your content is stuck, don’t rewrite the intro; rewrite the target outcome.

At this point, LinkedIn is just one long group project where everyone keeps submitting the same AI post with slightly different line breaks.

Editing your first draft is realizing...
Half the article was just you thinking out loud.

You may have gained visibility in LLMs only to realize that what AI says about your brand is outdated, incomplete, or plainly wrong.

Examples include: Old pricing information, outdated product descriptions and wrong messaging.

Look, in many ways LLM answers are merely the average of everything that has ever been said about your brand online.

And that includes your library of COVID-related content, a Reddit thread where your customer complained about the price increase in 2018, a listicle article created by your competitor, the Youtube channel a past team member created 4 years ago with a password now missing, or the review site(s) that you are not actively managing.

The good news: A lot of these LLM sources are in your control - others are harder but not impossible to update, align and expand on.

Here is how we think about it:

Top down from web properties that you own and control to those the hardest to influence... ⬇️

1. Audit the content on your own website. Prune old and outdated topics. Refresh those topics that are still relevant today. Make your point of view not the lonely theme that lives on a pillar page - make it the cohesive approach that permeates all content old and new. 

2. Review your social media profiles and update them to the current logo, company boiler plate and tagline.
Yes, that includes LinkedIn, Youtube, Facebook etc. But also factor in Crunchbase, Google My Business, Glassdoor and other directories.

3. Integrations, partners and marketplaces. If they still use your brand colors from 2019, now is the time to get in contact with their teams. Make sure that their integration pages have your latest boiler plate, product description and feature list.

4. Update your review site listings. Same boiler plate as for socials. Making sure you are listed in the correct category. Collect fresh reviews that talk about the latest features, e.g. your AI rollout 6 months ago.

5. Ask for corrections on listicles that you are already featured in - this is especially true if you are a category leader and competitors and content sites naturally include your brand in their "best software" listicles. If they have wrong or outdated information, you can always ask for an update.

6. And then, you will want to build an approach to for digital PR, media appearances, inclusions in more listicles or meaningful participation in forums.

Most people start at the bottom, the hard stuff, the unlikely stuff (listicles, Reddit, Wikipedia...). I recommend to start at the top: With the web properties that you own. 

Tell a cohesive story.
Update and align your digital footprint before you expand.
