OpenAI is copying us.  Soon, everyone else will too.
Here's what's changing about Content and why you should care 👇


The problem

→ Most content today is written by people who’ve never lived what they write about.

→ Most teams are still chasing quantity over quality.

And now, with AI, anyone can produce unlimited content, for almost free.

So the cost of producing content is virtually zero.

But here’s the twist:

→ While cost of producing Content is down to zero, value of poor content is down to zero too.

→ AI may be at the level of average Content Managers.

→ But it’s still far from great Content Strategists.

Here's what the future is about:

→ Companies will stop hiring writers.
They’ll start hiring experts, who write.

→ These people will come from the field.
In our case: former SDRs or AEs who know outbound like the back of their hand.

→ Their job won’t be just to write blog posts.
It’ll be to explain features, build masterclasses, host webinars, and tell stories people actually care about.

→ They’ll use AI, but not blindly.
They’ll treat it like a sparring partner, not a ghostwriter.

Content is evolving fast and this is exactly why we opened a Content Strategist role back in June.

But content written by real people, for real people, still wins.

And if you’re one of them, we’re hiring.

We're looking for a Content Strategist at lemlist: someone who’s lived sales, loves outbound, and wants to build content with real impact.

If that’s you (or you know someone), DM me.
$2000 reward if you help us find the right person.

PS: This post was written with AI, but every idea is 100% mine.

CEO @lemlist & lempire. Growing a $200M+ SaaS business, and sharing my learnings. Follow me to learn with me.
