I work without AI and first focus on client's content strategy. If you do not have one, I can create a research and marketing report for you starting from $250. That will be the basis of our content strategy. In the report, I will detail how your visitors see you, the unique challenges you face, and what you need to do to gain organic visibility from unexpected sources. I did something similar in 2024–2026, when I wrote a few articles for a defunct Polish cryptocurrency exchange, PlasBit. I discovered that articles in the cryptocurrency industry are boring and dry, so I proposed brainstorming to give my texts some pizzazz, and PlasBit marketers wholeheartedly accepted it. We came up with novel takes on familiar topics, with my all-time favorite article being "Mt. Gox Collapse, the Titanic Disaster of Crypto Exchanges." There I did some clever storytelling and creative writing to compare the collapse of a crypto exchange to the sinking of a massive ship. Some of my articles for PlasBit ranked on the first page of search engine results. Look up "Timothy C May" or "myawaddy pig butchering crypto scam," and you will likely find my writing on those topics among the top results. Here is what one PlasBit marketer said about working with me: “When I started to look for a new writer for a permanent job as a writer in PlasBit, I was looking for something that in my mind was pretty simple: a content writer who cares about what he writes. I thought that people who call themselves professional writers would have the dedication to do deep research and write the article in a way that is actually pleasant to read and memorable. Unfortunately, my talent scouting process started at the beginning of the height of the 'AI revolution.' People all over the world started to realize they can make some easy money by marketing themselves as 'expert content writers,' especially in the crypto field, which lets them add 'blockchain and web3 expert' to the mix. I was having a very hard time finding someone who actually cares, and even when I started to raise the price to go for the 'big fish' who have the fancy 'Top Rated Plus' badge, I still encountered AI slop and overall lack of care. That all changed when I met Dejan. I was at first surprised that one of the first things he told me was that 'it’s not about the money,' especially after encountering people who asked for a lot of money and handed AI slop in return, and that he just wants to make authentic and lasting content, which is exactly what I was looking for but couldn’t find anywhere. Even though I gave Dejan a very generic and 'easy' article I give new writers to test them, this time about the price of Bitcoin in 2010, which was supposed to a 'checklist' article for SEO purposes, he gave back a heavily researched article that went into the most minute details of how the price of bitcoin is determined, and gave a complete picture of the unstable and budding Bitcoin market back in 2010. Not only that, but he also had some extremely constructive criticism about the brief, which made me change the way I work with writers to this day. This was only the beginning, we continued to evolve and learn from each other, having long brainstorming sessions that often went above and beyond one hour. We managed to improve not only the process but also enrich the content, adding images and tables that slowly turned each article into a bonanza of information and metaphors, with one of my favorites being the fall of Mt. Gox as the sinking of the Titanic in the article 'Mt. Gox Collapse, the Titanic Disaster of Crypto Exchanges,' which was an angle that was at the same time so obvious, yet original, nobody else thought of it before. We crafted wonderful articles in the process, most of them appearing on the first page of Google, and being used as resources for Wikipedia articles (don’t believe me, look up the name Timothy C May on Google). Funny anecdote, I am a subscriber of the well-known newsletter called “Supply Shock” and to my surprise, a link to Dejan’s Timothy C. May article was in there, we did not contact them or anything, they just found the article, saw how good it is and decided to include it as a source, that’s the power of caring for you, the best SEO strategy there is.” - Noam, Creative Director at PlasBit 2024–2025
