Transforming Content Strategy: Lessons from Building with AI
I recently embarked on a two-week journey to build a custom newsletter platform using AI. The experience taught me valuable lessons about decision-making in tech. Here’s a snapshot:
- Key Components Built:
- User authentication (free/paid tiers)
- Subscription flows via Stripe
- Multiple analytics dashboards
- Email sending with Postmark
- Drip campaigns through Bento
Despite the success, I faced a critical epiphany: I didn’t have a coding problem; I had a decision problem.
- Realization:
- Substack is optimal for content management.
- My website should serve as a business card, not a content hub.
Reflecting on this has shifted my perspective. The real constraint isn’t about building—it’s about deciding what to build.
Before diving into your next project, ask yourself: What problem am I genuinely solving?
