The Business Model
You run a content agency. Clients pay ₦80,000–₦200,000/month for 8–20 blog posts. You use AI to write first drafts and spend 10 minutes per post editing. Your real role is quality control and client management, not writing.
The workflow below handles the production pipeline end-to-end.
The Workflow (n8n)
Trigger: Client submits a Google Form with: post topic, target keyword, tone (professional/casual/technical), target audience, word count (500/800/1200).
Step 1 — Groq writes the draft:
POST https://api.groq.com/openai/v1/chat/completions
System: You are a professional content writer. Write for the web.
Use clear headings. Be specific. Never pad. Max one idea per paragraph.
User: Write a {word_count} word blog post about "{topic}".
Target keyword: {keyword}. Tone: {tone}. Audience: {audience}.
Return only the post content in markdown.Step 2 — Save to Google Docs using the Google Docs node. Title: "[DRAFT] {topic} — {client_name}".
Step 3 — Notify editor via Slack or email with a link to the Google Doc.
Step 4 — Editor edits directly in Google Doc, changes title to "[READY] {topic}".
Step 5 — Trigger on title change (Google Docs trigger), extract final content, send to client via email with a delivery report.
Why This Works
You are not removing humans. You are removing the low-value work (blank page → rough draft) and keeping the high-value work (judgment, voice refinement, quality check). The AI does the 80%. You do the 20% that actually matters.
The Math
20 posts/month per client. AI writes each in 90 seconds. You spend 10 minutes editing each = 3.3 hours of real work per client per month. At ₦150,000/month per client, that is ₦45,000 per hour of actual work.
Getting the First Client
Don't pitch "AI content." Pitch "consistent, on-brand content delivered every week without briefing a new freelancer every time." That's the actual pain. The AI is invisible.
