How I Grew My Remote AI Writing Team to Make $7,000 a Month (And How You Can Too)

Hey there! If you’ve ever wondered how to turn AI writing tools into a real business, you’re in the right place. I’m going to walk you through exactly how I scaled a remote team using AI to earn $7,000 a month—without fancy jargon or complicated tricks. Let’s dive in!

Part 1: Why AI Copywriting is a Game-Changer

Did you know 35% of businesses now use AI tools like ChatGPT for writing? (Source: SEMrush). But here’s the thing: AI alone won’t make you money. You need a team to make it work. Think of AI like a super-fast assistant that needs a human boss.

Real-Life Example:
Meet Sarah (not her real name). She started as a freelance writer but got tired of working 12-hour days. She tried AI tools to write blog posts faster, then hired two part-time editors to polish the work. In 9 months, she was making $7,500/month. Her secret? Mixing AI speed with human creativity.

Part 2: Building Your Team (No Experience Needed)

You don’t need a big budget or a fancy degree. Here’s how to start:

1. Find Your First Clients
   Start small. Sarah began with three clients from Upwork, charging $200 per blog post. She used AI to write the first draft, then edited it herself.
2. Hire Helpers Slowly
   When she got busier, Sarah hired:
   • A “Prompt Master” (someone good at giving AI clear instructions).
   • An Editor (to fix mistakes and add humor or stories).
   • A Client Manager (to reply to emails and keep customers happy).
3. Keep Learning
   Sarah’s team took cheap online courses like Copyhackers’ AI Writing Course to get better.

Part 3: Tools You’ll Actually Need (No Fluff)

Don’t waste money on fancy software. Stick to these:

• AI Writers: ChatGPT (free) or Jasper ($49/month).
• Editing: Grammarly (catches typos) or Hemingway App (makes sentences simple).
• Project Management: Trello (free) to assign tasks.

Pro Tip: Use Canva’s AI tools to make graphics for blogs. Clients love “all-in-one” service!

Part 4: How to Charge What You’re Worth

Most beginners undercharge. Here’s how Sarah did it:

• AI-Only Draft: $0.10/word (great for small businesses).
• AI + Human Editing: $0.25/word (for bigger companies).

Example: A 1,000-word blog post would cost 100(AI−only)or100(AI−only)or250 (edited).

Upsell Tip: Offer SEO upgrades using SurferSEO to help clients rank higher on Google.

Part 5: Avoiding Big Mistakes

Here’s what almost ruined Sarah’s business—and how to avoid it:

1. Don’t Let AI Sound Robot
   One client hated their first draft because it had no jokes or stories. Fix: Always add a human touch.
2. Time Zones Are Tricky
   Sarah’s editor lived in Mexico, so they overlapped work hours using Slack.
3. Check for Copied Work
   Use Copyscape to make sure AI content isn’t stolen.

Part 6: The Simple $7K/Month Plan

Let’s break down the math:

• Team Cost: $3,000/month
  • 2 AI Writers: $800 each
  • 1 Editor: $1,200
  • 1 Client Manager: $800
• Clients Needed: 10 clients paying $700/month
• Profit: 7,000(income)−7,000(income)−3,000 (team) = $4,000 profit

How to Get Clients:

• Cold email using Hunter.io to find business emails.
• Post free tips on LinkedIn (e.g., “3 Ways AI Can Write Your Website”).

Part 7: “But What If I Fail?”

Every business has hiccups. When Sarah’s biggest client quit, she:

• Asked for feedback (they wanted faster edits).
• Hired a backup editor part-time.
• Pivoted to focus on e-commerce clients (they pay better!).

Moral: Stay flexible and listen to clients.
