Keep Your Brains Muscles Moving Like Going To The Gym
If you have been writing a TON of AI content for your marine blog, it may be helpful to keep your brains regular writings muscles alive with some level of consistent regular writing. This helps your brain stretch the muscles that it is not actively using with the AI writing. Yes the AI writing as a different kind of brain muscles being used, and your thinking in ways that you would not usually think or your brain has not had to always use.
This brings the question how important is this? When the calculator was invented, schools still required students to do the math without a calculator. In the modern world, you will not very often find yourself in a math situation that does not require you to use a calculator. But, you will find yourself in a position where the mental math that will help you as a soft skill, so there is some utility in being able to do some basic levels of mental math, even with a calculator as a handy tool. Is this the same thing with writing skills. Only time will tell, but it is my guess, that some level of manual writing will still be useful in the future for certain use cases. For mental math example, being able to calculate a 20% tip quickly with mental math is a soft skill that will help you go far. For writing for your marine blog where does this make sense?
- Following up with your customers
- Live conversations where ChatGPT responses are two clunky.
- Taking frameworks learned through GPT writing and starting to use them in the real world.
Why I Wrote The Marine Blog Sales Engines
Most marine businesses treat their blog like a marketing accessory.
A “nice-to-have.” A place to post updates. A box to check so the website feels complete.
I wrote The Marine Blog Sales Engines: How Blogs Drive Parts, Service, and High Dollar Marine Sales because I’ve watched that mindset quietly cost marine businesses real money—every week, every season, for years.
And it’s not because those businesses are lazy or clueless.
It’s because the marine industry has its own buying reality, and most marketing advice ignores it.
If You Were To Take My Entire Blog & Stick It Into Chat GPT As A Source You Would Still Be Missing Something
This year I started training BJJ and my first instinct is to attack brutally. Apparently this is one of the common traits for a BJJ white belt, it's called the "Crazy White Belt Syndrome". You see the white belt is on the mat fighting for survival, this is where some of the animalistic instincts come out of us. When fighting a more technically skilled adversary adrenaline kicks in and BJJ which is a simulation of a life or death situation. One of the first lessons I learned from my Sensei Mario Sperry is to slow down, sometimes you have to allow the opponents to beat you a few times to see what is working and what is not. It is in this way, in slowing down, you can watch the opponents moves, because they repeat. With the combination of leverage, strength, and technique certain moves can be paired. But sometimes you have to "Roll" a few times to start noticing these patterns.
How Does This Apply To The Marine Sales Blog System & Training Your Own Writing Muscles
If you rely purely on Chtat GPT and doe not train some of your other writing muscles, you are using a brutality brute strength attack. But you need to go back, and review, what worked, what didn't. Not every situation are you going to have this amazing technological tools to help you, the models, update and the output for the same prompts are ever changing. The frameworks and principles do not. This is where you need to go back everyone in a while and train your writing muscle which trains the pathways in your brain which allow these frameworks to exist. This will help you to see what is working and what is not and to look more fully at the writing frameworks you are using at scale and how to improve them.
