When all the technical setup was completed — the website was live, social media accounts were ready, and the basic tools were in place — it was time to move forward.
The idea behind the project was simple:
I wanted to create content following AI’s advice, share useful insights with people who, in the coming years, will want to learn about AI or work alongside it, and eventually see if this effort could generate some additional income.
What I needed next was a concrete content strategy and a clear structure.
So, the logical next step was to ask AI for help.
How I Imagined the Project at First
Since the beginning, I was aware of my limitations.
I work a regular 9–5 job, which means my time for this project is limited to a few hours a day, often late in the evening or during weekends.
When I explained this to AI, I outlined a few key facts:
- I have only a few free hours daily, and I want to invest them wisely.
- The project needs to be faceless due to the nature of my current job. It’s simply not practical for me to be the face of the content.
- I want the project to have a global reach. Limiting myself to my local market didn’t make sense if I wanted to give this a real shot.
- All content must be in simple English, understandable for a wide, international audience.
These were the conditions I gave AI when I first discussed the idea.
The First Concept — A Lifestyle Blog
At first, I thought about creating a lifestyle blog.
The idea was to focus on topics often linked to wealthy and successful people — finance & tech, yachting, expensive cars, exclusive travel, and similar high-end interests.
I figured that such content could easily attract a broad audience interested in luxury lifestyles, which could later open doors for affiliate marketing, product placements, or even collaborations.
It seemed like a promising angle — highly visual, easy to research, and full of monetization potential.
Why I Changed My Mind
The more I explored the idea, I realized that this type of content was already all over the internet. It felt saturated, and there wasn’t much room to add anything truly new.
At the same time, I couldn’t ignore what was happening around me — AI was everywhere.
Social media, news outlets, YouTube — AI content, tools, and debates were exploding. Unlike the luxury niche, AI felt current, alive, and something I could actually get involved with.
And so, I made the switch.
Instead of focusing on luxury lifestyle topics, I decided to shift towards something that felt more dynamic and meaningful — the rise of AI and its potential to impact everyday people and the way we work, learn, and create.
The Foundation of the Tireless Grandpa Project
By now, if you’ve read the first few posts, you’ve already seen how I:
- Built the website
- Created basic pages
- Set up essential tools
- Opened social media accounts
But up to this point, I was still lacking a real content strategy.
And this is where the next crucial step comes in.
The Next Logical Question
Once I had the structure, I asked AI one simple but important question:
“What should I actually do now to create a successful online project that could eventually make money and help people learn to use AI effectively?”
I wanted clear guidance:
- How to structure the content?
- What kind of topics should I focus on?
- How to make the most of the platforms I set up?
Since this is a topic that deserves a deeper explanation, I won’t cover it fully here. I’ll break down the AI’s suggestions for structuring the project and the specific ideas it gave me — step by step — in the next post.
Faceless, but not soulless — just one persistent human using AI to turn ideas into something real. One blog post at a time.
