my content journey (and how you can do it too)

Hey there, solopreneur!
Ole from The AI Solopreneur here.
Today, I'd like to share with you the rollercoaster ride of my first year in solopreneurship. It was quite the adventure…to say the least.
November 2022: The FTX crash
I was a full-time crypto trader then, and almost my entire net worth evaporated overnight.
Years of hard work vanished in an instant. The financial foundation I had built crumbled beneath my feet, leaving me in a state of disbelief and despair.
It was a gut-wrenching experience I would never wish upon anyone.
Suddenly, "free" samples at the grocery store looked like gourmet meals.

But then a week later, ChatGPT appeared. It was like finding a Swiss Army knife when you're lost in the woods.
Desperate for a change, I dove headfirst into AI-powered solopreneurship. I saw it as my only way out of that financial pit. And wow, did it deliver.
Fast forward to today:
150k+ followers on Twitter
20k+ followers on LinkedIn
$500,000+ in revenue
Featured in Business Insider and Benzinga
Speaking gigs at Imagine AI conference in Las Vegas
CEO’s of big companies constantly reaching out
Countless AI software founders requesting to partner
All in my first year.
I know, I know. It sounds like one of those cheesy "get rich quick" schemes. But stick with me, because this is where it gets interesting.
Here’s the million-dollar question (or in my case, the $500K question):
How did I do it?
My secret sauce? AI-powered content creation and audience building.
Now, you might be thinking:
"What’s so great about a social media audience?”
A captive audience is LIFE-CHANGING. It's the ultimate form of leverage in the digital age.
With an engaged audience, you can:
Sell products and services at scale
Disconnect your income from your time
Build a content business that opens doors to opportunities you can't even imagine right now
Just like Naval Ravikant says:
But here's the brutal reality most solopreneurs face:
Building a content business traditionally is a grind.
I asked my friend, top Twitter creator Kieran Drew (200k+ followers), just how much time he spent building his audience before AI:
That's a lot of time, especially considering it’s just for content creation.
It doesn’t even include the countless other tasks like:
Offer creation
Networking
Sponsorships
Product-building
…and many, many others that are required for running a 6-figure content business.
Now, imagine if you could build that same quality audience in a fraction of the time.
That's where AI comes in.
With AI-powered content creation, I'm able to pump out high-volume, high-quality content, consistently rolling off the digital assembly line like cars in a Tesla factory.

The result?
My work efficiency has soared. By optimizing my workflow, I’m able to publish the same output as a 5-man media team — all by myself.
On average, I complete my essential business tasks in 15-20 hours per week.
This efficiency allows me to run a successful company and still have plenty of time for my personal life.
That's right - my AI skills have allowed me to build a $500K+ business working part-time hours.
The rest of my time? I spend it however I want. Travel, family, hobbies - the freedom is incredible.
It’s exactly why I got into solopreneurship in the first place, and I owe most of the credit to AI.
Now, I can almost hear the objections forming in your mind:
"But AI-generated content sounds robotic"
"I'll lose my unique voice if I use AI"
"AI is too complicated for non-tech people like me"
"AI will replace human creativity"
"Content creation is too saturated"
I get it. I had those same thoughts myself.
But those objections are really just myths. Because here's the truth:
If you're not using AI in your content creation, you're at a severe disadvantage.
Before AI was a thing, creating content alone used to be a full-time job.
But today, AI-powered creators are pumping out 5x more content in half the time as non-AI creators.
It's like trying to win a marathon in flippers while everyone else has carbon-plated running shoes.
