Becoming a power user of WP AI Writer

If you’ve mastered the basics covered in our Getting Started guide, congratulations on creating your first post with WP AI Writer! Now it’s time to unlock the advanced features that can take your WordPress content strategy to the next level. This guide will walk you through the finer points of writing prompts parameters, posting schedules, and the bulk creator & generator of blog post outlines, along with some tips for experimenting on your own.

Fine-Tuning Your Writing Prompts

1. Define Your Prompt

Navigate to the list of Writing Prompts to edit prompts or create new ones. Give your writing prompt a unique name that you can easily remember, and that will remind you of the settings chosen, as you can create many prompts for the different sites that you want WP AI Writer to write for.

• Article Length: Choose short (up to 1000 words), medium (1000–2000 words), or long (2000+ words) articles. These targets guide the LLM, though initial drafts may vary. Adding 1–2 reviews (see below) helps refine and lengthen articles.
• Point of View: Select first-, second-, or third-person to shape the article’s perspective. First-person feels personal, second-person engages the reader, and third-person offers a neutral, narrative tone.
• Tone: Match your brand’s voice with tones like analytical, conversational, educational, friendly, persuasive, or scientific.
• Reviews: Improve content quality by feeding the first draft back into the LLM for enhancements. Reviews require extra credits and tokens but can significantly boost engagement and SEO performance.
• WordPress Tags: Automatically generate relevant tags to link related pages, enhance content clusters, and boost SEO. Existing tags are reused, while new ones are created on the fly.
• Key Takeaways: Summarize key points automatically as bullet points or a short section at the end of your article. Perfect for skimmers and great for repurposing as social media teasers or meta descriptions.
• Read More Tag: Automatically insert a “Read More” tag after a set number of paragraphs. This keeps blog layouts clean and encourages clicks to full articles, balancing readability with engagement. Experiment to find the best placement for your audience.

2. Use Your Prompt

Now you can use your prompt when creating a single blog post outline, creating or generating multiple blog posts outlines! See below for more on this.

Pro Tip: Don’t hesitate to experiment! The more specific your prompt, the more precisely the AI will follow your instructions.

Mastering Posting Schedules

Efficiently managing your content calendar is key to maximizing your website’s impact. WP AI Writer offers flexible posting schedules to ensure your content is published exactly when you need it. Let’s dive into how to configure and optimize your posting schedules.

1. Creating a Posting Schedule

By default, WP AI Writer comes with a pre-defined 10-minute frequency schedule designed to post a large amount of content in a short time. To defined your own posting schedules, navigate to the “Posting Schedule” section under your app’s Settings menu to modify the existing schedule(s) or create new ones. Here, you can define schedules tailored to your content strategy:

• Name: Assign a name to your schedule that will let you easily recall what it does, such as “Mon-Wed-Fri Mornings” or “Daily Updates.”
• Schedule Type: Choose between:
  • Interval: Set up recurring intervals such as every 10 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or 6 hours. This option is perfect for sites requiring frequent updates or high-volume publishing.
  • Specific Times: Select precise days and times for publishing, like 10:30 AM on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Simply check the desired days and specify the times. For this type of schedules, you can select the Time Zone of your website to ensure your posts go live according to your audience’s local time.
• Active Status: Activate the schedule once you’re ready. Note that a schedule must be assigned to at least one WordPress site so that it can be activated.

Click “Save” once you’ve configured your schedule, and it will be ready for use.

2. Assigning Schedules to WordPress Sites

A schedule is only effective if it’s tied to a WordPress site. After creating your schedule, head to the “Websites” tab to assign it to the appropriate site(s). You can use 1 different schedule per sites, ensuring each one operates on its own optimized timeline, or 1 schedule for multiple sites.

3. Tips for Power Users

• Mix and Match: Depending on your site’s needs, you can choose choose frequency-based schedules to publish large amount of contents, or specific times to keep your site regularly updated.
• Test Engagement Patterns: Experiment with posting at different times to identify when your audience is most active. Adjust your schedules accordingly to maximize engagement and traffic.
• Scale with Bulk Schedules: For websites with high publishing demands, create high frequency schedules to streamline content distribution without overwhelming your readers.

With WP AI Writer, scheduling isn’t just a matter of convenience—it’s a strategic tool to boost your site’s visibility and efficiency. Take full control of your publishing calendar and watch your content strategy thrive!

Monitor analytics for each posting schedule. If engagement is low at certain times, adjust to when your audience is most active.

This method is perfect to accelerate your workflow if you already have the posting schedules defined, and just need to feed more content to the publishing system.

Pro Tip: Combine Both Methods

You don’t have to choose one method exclusively. Start with Bulk Create to post the articles and content you know your site needs, and then switch to Bulk Generate to brainstorm post ideas from keywords, try new topics, develop new content clusters and tackle new traffic niches. This combination ensures a balance of efficiency and customization.

Experiment with these tools to build a robust content pipeline, whether you’re managing one WordPress site or a network. With WP AI Writer, scaling your blog content has never been easier!

Experimenting and Iterating

Becoming a power user is all about testing new configurations and learning what resonates most with your readers. Here’s how:

1. Test Different Styles
   • Write a conversational post vs. an educative one on the same topic. See which gets better engagement.
2. Bulk Content vs Recurrent Content
   • Publish multiple post in a short amount of time with the interval posting to get a minimum amount of content in your site
   • Switch to recurrent posting with specific times so as to make sure your site stays updated with new fresh content.
3. A/B Schedule Testing
   • Post the same type of content at different times or frequencies. Track clicks, comments, and shares to refine your schedule.
4. Keyword Variation
   • Experiment with multiple keywords to see which ones the AI blends in most effectively and which generate the most traffic.
5. Integrate with Social Media and Tools
   • Use your new content production system from WP AI Writer to feed social media and other tools with fresh content to expand your audience beyond your site.

Remember: WP AI Writer is designed to adapt. The more you experiment, the more you’ll understand how best to harness AI for your specific content and audience needs.
