    It's helpful for top of marketing funnel writing that we can sometimes lose sight of because we are so ingrained in the product day to day. Contently is also helpful for long written pieces and ebooks that will take a significant amount of employee time to put together. I avoid using Contently for mid to bottom funnel marketing writing because my team will often have greater insight into the product function or use-case or product release, making them more adroit to the tone of the written piece and able to produce the content quickly.

    1. To generate blog ideas - Jasper compiles good blogs from 500 to 2500 words. The blogs are very informative and drive good organic traffic. 2. For LinkedIn articles - Current trends and interesting write-ups for LinkedIn, Jasper can do well. 3. For social media ads, website content, and white papers - Jasper is very useful.

    Cons
    Contently
    • I have been using it for 3.5 years, and have had no response from potential clients.
    • The portfolio section is pretty easy to use, but I don't love the format.
    • Since I'm not a client, I don't know just how easy it is for them to find new freelancers or how often it is actually used.
    • Probably more suited for some types/concentrations of freelance writers, like finance, tech, or healthcare.

    I give Jasper.ai 7 out of 10 because it delivers strong productivity gains and helps speed up content creation. However, the pricing, need for frequent editing, and limitations with fact-heavy or highly creative content prevent it from being a higher rating. It is certainly expensive for solo creators, which makes it difficult to afford the pro version.

    I'm giving them a 10, but honestly, I've never reached out to them. I do see them putting out regular content on social media, so they might be responsive to questions there as well as regular customer support. In their posts and communication, they do seem to value their community, so hopefully, they have good customer support. And I've seen them asking for pitches from their community to publish well-paid articles during this stressful coronavirus time, and I really appreciate that.

    I also opened an account with Skyword in 2019, which is a similar service. The person that recommended it was a travel writer, and since I've done that as well, I thought it might be a better fit. To this point, I've received no work from it either, and don't hold out a lot of hope. As previously mentioned, where I think Contently does well is by giving you an online portfolio, additional resources like a blog for learning, and a rates database for publications.

    It doesn't appear in your drop-down, but besides ChatGPT, I have also used Google Bard and You.com. All of them are AI that can create content. I have actually switched away from Jasper.ai to these other platforms because I can use them for free. Jasper.ai is definitely more robust in what it offers, but I am pretty good at creating prompts in the other free platforms, which has allowed me to get by with those.

    Return on Investment
    Contently
    • Contently contributors have produced some great inbound marking posts and creative materials saving our marketing team significant time allowing them to focus on more strategic plans for the business.
    • The amount of time Contently has saved our internal creative writing staff has more than paid for itself!
