The Content Scaling Problem

Affiliate marketing lives on content. But writing good content is time-consuming. SEO built in requires research. Every article needs to hit keywords, be readable, and integrate products naturally. Doing this manually doesn't scale.

What I Learned

Prompt engineering for consistent brand voice is tricky. It takes many iterations until the text sounds natural.

DataForSEO via MCP is powerful. Having keyword research directly in Claude saves enormous time.

Quality control remains important. AI-generated content always needs a human review.
