  • How Do My Articles Get Discovered? 3 Simple Steps for Solopreneurs
    Mar 20 2026
    How Do My Articles Get Discovered? 3 Steps to Rank in AI Search


    You’ve written the blog post. You’ve done the research. You hit publish, and nothing happens. If that sounds familiar, the problem likely isn’t your consistency. It’s how your content is structured.

    Search has changed. AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google’s AI Overview now pull answers directly from published content. That means the articles that get found are the ones built for both human readers and AI search engines. The old approach of volume and keywords is no longer enough.

    This episode is for solopreneurs who are tired of writing content that sits unseen. Marisa walks through a practical, three-part approach for writing long-form content that is discoverable without chasing trends or burning out.

    What You'll Discover in This Episode

    • Why posting consistently still leaves some articles invisible, and what determines whether content gets found
    • How AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google’s AI Overview decide which articles to surface and reference
    • What does it mean to write for two target audiences at once, and why skipping one of them costs you visibility
    • How to use your past content to identify the 3–5 topic pillars your audience wants
    • Why the structure of your article matters more than the word count, and what AI is scanning for
    • The one bonus formatting tip that AI search engines favor in blog posts
    • Why a small library of well-structured articles can outperform years of inconsistent posting

  • The Wrong Way to Use AI: And What Solopreneurs Should Do Instead
    Mar 13 2026

    Most solopreneurs started using AI to save time, and it worked, at least at first. Content came out faster. Tasks got done quicker. But speed came with a cost, and many are now seeing the consequences of that approach.

    This episode takes an honest look at how AI has been used over the past two years and why using it only for content production is the wrong way to use AI. If your engagement has dropped or your results feel flat, this episode is for you.

    Marisa shares what she believes is the real power of AI for solopreneurs, and it has less to do with what it writes and more to do with what it can analyze, systematize, and improve behind the scenes.

    What You'll Discover in This Episode

    • Why cranking out content faster may actually be hurting your business
    • What Merriam-Webster's 2025 word of the year reveals about where AI adoption went sideways
    • The backend use case for AI that most solopreneurs are completely overlooking
    • Why researchers say audiences are developing an "AI suspicion penalty," and what that means for your trust
    • The difference between using AI as a content machine versus using it as a thinking partner
    • Three specific ways to use AI that can actually move your business forward

    The tool hasn't changed, but the question you bring to it can change everything.

    This year is the year to move AI from the front end to the back end and use it in a way that actually builds your business.


    Inside AI Lab for Solopreneurs, you will learn to use AI as a strategic partner for marketing, workflow, and consistent client growth.

    • Use AI strategically
    • Close gaps in your marketing
    • Create systems that will help you scale
