AI writing tools are a familiar topic to many of us.

However, the overall interest in “AI writing” is massive, with search volume increasing tenfold.

The writing tool Jenni pivoted its attention towards aiding students with research papers and has generated $2 million in revenue, with the majority coming in the past nine months. This was achieved by a lean team of fewer than ten members, all operating on a bootstrapped basis.

It’s fundamentally an AI writing tool tailored for its niche, including specialized features like citations and a research library.

Utilizing YouTubers resulted in $15,000 in new business, while concentrating on short-form content platforms attracted millions of views.

Incorporating straightforward features that users appreciate has been key to retaining hundreds of customers, acknowledging that students typically avoid expenses during summer break.

This approach was part of a strategic effort to minimize customer turnover.

The market is already filled with SEO-AI tools generating revenue, pending Google’s algorithm’s ability to detect AI-generated content, which it struggles with currently.

AI writing has cemented its place in the market. What opportunities does this present?

Opportunities abound in the realm of AI writing, such as:

Educational Courses: There’s a significant opportunity in creating courses that teach how to use AI for writing within specific niches. Many people acquire tools hoping to solve their writing challenges but lack the necessary knowledge to produce quality content. Courses could cover how to effectively use these tools, select the right ones, adapt them to desired writing styles, and address niche-specific writing, such as for gardening enthusiasts.

Interactive Assignments: A novel approach to coursework could involve students generating content ideas within their expertise, using AI to draft articles, and then employing AI to obtain feedback as if from admired figures like Steve Jobs or Sheryl Sandberg. This feedback could include style and length variations, teaching students to refine their writing with AI as a collaborative editor.

Analytical Newsletters: Launching newsletters that dissect exceptional copy, using AI to analyze strengths and improvement areas. This concept mirrors Sam Parr’s “copythat” course, which encourages learning through emulation of successful writing techniques.

Specialized Newsletters: Nicholas Cole’s “Write with AI” newsletter, which instructs on leveraging AI for diverse types of copywriting, from sales emails to personal journaling, exemplifies how targeted newsletters can provide valuable insights into AI-assisted writing.

Creative Repositories: Establishing a website showcasing exquisite product copy for users to adapt and enhance with AI. The success of Emojipedia, sold for $7 million, underscores the potential in creating valuable, searchable content databases.

Text-from-Image Tools: Developing simple applications that generate text descriptions from images, aiding in creating prompts for similar images, product descriptions, reverse script writing, and more, providing a creative and practical utility for various content creation needs.

A/B Testing Tools: Crafting tools that test copy against AI-suggested enhancements, similar to thumbnailtest.com’s approach for thumbnails, which has proven financially successful.

Podcasting Enhancements: Designing tools that transform podcast transcriptions into enriched, timestamped descriptions complete with product links, converting these transcripts into engaging tweets, blog posts, and more, offering a comprehensive suite of content repurposing tools for podcasters.

Have a wonderful day!
