Writing Articles

This guide will take you through writing articles.

Prerequisite

We will assume you have already created a cluster.

Prepare your articles

When your cluster has been constructed, you will be presented with the cluster view showing all of your articles.

As you can see above, a cluster will be comprised of one main article and a number of supporting articles, each one backed by a specific keyword, for which you can see keyword data including monthly search volume, competition and trend.

For each article, you can specify the AI Model, Tone of Voice and Perspective - dictating the way that the article is written and its length. You can also remove any article by clicking the remove icon on the left-hand side.

Note: The Perspective and Tone of Voice are very important factors you should consider individually for each article as they can have a huge impact on reader engagement and bounce rate.

A good rule of thumb is to match the expectation of the reader, so for sensitive topics you could use a first-person perspective with an empathetic tone, whereas for technical topics you might want to use a third-person perspective and a professional tone.

We suggest you read the documentation for each to better understand when to choose which option.

Write your articles

You can then write individual articles one at a time, or write all of your articles at once.

Your articles are then sent to a background queue for writing.

Machined has advanced parallelisation technology in its article writer so on average, it takes under 1 minute to write an article with GPT-3.5 and 1-3 minutes to write an article with GPT-4. The actual time it takes to write an article depends on a number of factors though including how many other articles are queued for writing as well as the rate-limiting imposed by OpenAI.

Note: Machined writes articles in the background, you do not need to wait for articles to be written, you are free to close the tab or exit the application. 🤯 🚀
