If you spend five minutes to read the blog, you will notice a pattern. I mean, you are surely going to not read it if it starts with "in today's landscape" (you know what I mean).

Most of them are sounding exactly the same without a feeling that a human is talking to you.

This has happened because over the last year, companies have rushed crazily to create dozens of blog posts every week or even in a day (trust me, some companies are doing that). It sounds smart on paper because you save money without hiring a content writer, publish constantly, and cover all those endless AI-generated keywords.

But, this becomes a massive problem as your actual customers, who can be senior developers, CTOs, and technical founders, feel completely emotionless of your generic writing.

When a technical buyer lands on an AI article, they spot it within a second and hit the back button, quoting, "Come on, I thought I would read some real human expertise here."

If you want to know why low-effort content fails to generate pipeline and how subject matter experts can be your biggest asset to solve the same, then you are in the right place. 

The main problem with AI content traps

Hear me out, AI tools appear great for summarizing existing ideas, but they cannot invent new experiences. On a simple level, they just scan the top ten results already existing on the search engines and use their language processing powers to create an average opinion (which is usually already there).

When your team relies on software to generate those marketing pieces for your website, you are just posting that same surface-level advice as your competitors, and that too with a lost touch of human connection.

Your technical buyers will not trust you from those generic definitions that do not even represent your real personality.

What do technical buyers actually look for?

To win the trust of a CTO or engineering lead, you should make sure that your content sounds like a genuine information gain.

Information gain simply means giving readers the fresh details, real data, or practical insights that do not exist anywhere else on the web or at least not in the condensed form that you are going to create.

All the technical leaders want to see things like

• Real production cases you, the team, faced with respect to the topic you are writing about

• Actual trade-offs between different frameworks or tools

• Some performance benchmarks from real stress tests that further make their interest better

• Practical showcases where you use tables, charts, and images to help them understand the context in the best possible manner.

As soon as you solve such specific details, you prove that your brand actually builds and solves things in the real world.

How SME's can help you create marketing assets? 

First of all, avoid writing on your own because there are little nuances that you might not understand but a writer who professionally writes 24 x 7 will get them. Now that you have hired a content writing partner, set up a simple SME extraction process that takes less than fifteen minutes.

• Schedule a 10-minute voice sync: Ask your lead developer to sit down, get in touch with your writer and share one specific bug or system challenge that you solved related to the context or campaign you are going to target.

• Focus on the hard part: Ask them what went wrong on the initial level, what surprised them, and why the obvious solution failed. 

• Record and Transcribe: Let your writer capture the raw explanation, technical terms, and real reactions before they finally work on their final draft.

Such a short conversation gives you unique raw material that no AI tools can guess or replicate (they will after your content is live, though lol).

What happens next to create high-converting assets? 

Well, from here your content writing partner will take the job because they have that superpower of creating 10 substories from just 1 story, that too with proved claims. 

Your SEO writer will convert the notes into high-converting assets that can be blogs, white papers, social media posts, interviews, or any other things using the best tactics that search engines love. 

Now in place of a generic story that reads like a textbook, you have authentic case study-style content that shows real you. 

Search engines rank such content higher because it has original research, and technical buyers stay on the page because it actually solves their instant headache.

See, the thing is that going with ten generic blogs a month will not take your brand anywhere. You need to create a proper content strategy covering all the funnels of the buyer's journey. And it can sound complex because you might not be having time to think of some of the most creative ideas. That is why MSC Writing Solutions exists, and here I can help you with the same. All you have to do is just drop an email or get in touch with me on LinkedIn.
