How I Write So Much (Without Burning Out)
The real reason behind my books, blogs, and deep writing rhythm—with AI as my full-time editor.
When people ask me how I manage to write so much, or how I write deeply while juggling multiple businesses and hobbies, the honest answer is: I don’t do it alone. I work with AI—not as a ghostwriter, but as my thought partner, my editor, and my clarity machine.
Let me explain how I do it and why I believe writing, especially in this age of digital distraction and fleeting attention spans, is still the most powerful way to build trust, brand, and long-term income.
Writing Is Thinking
Most people think writing is about putting down what you already know. But that's only half the story. Writing is a process of thinking. It forces clarity. When you try to explain something in writing, you realize the holes in your understanding. Writing disciplines your mind.
When I speak, I may go in circles. I may repeat myself, chase a thought, then return to my point. And that’s okay in a conversation. But in writing, circular talk wastes the reader's time. So I use AI to tighten my ideas.
I record my thoughts as voice notes or transcribe conversations like the one you're reading this article from. I might ramble, make analogies, circle back to earlier points. But it’s all me. Then I feed it to ChatGPT and ask it to crystallize everything into a blog post, an email, or even a book chapter. The result is dense. Condensed. Crisp.
That’s how I wrote the first chapter of my book Mass Trust. If I had written it myself line by line, I would have used 2,000 words. But with the help of AI, I wrote it in 1,000—and it still delivered more punch. People told me they felt they had read something deep, even in a short chapter. That’s the power of compression.
Original Thoughts Matter More Than Original Words
Let’s clear one thing: AI is not a replacement for your mind. It’s not about feeding a prompt and generating magic. The magic is still you. The ideas, the perspective, the life experiences—those are yours.
AI is your editor. Your amplifier. If you’re a musician, think of AI as your mixer. You still need to sing.
Many people hesitate to use AI for writing because they feel it’s not authentic. But ask yourself: is the final writing an expression of your truth? Are the ideas and insights coming from your real life? Then it’s yours.
People Who Pay, Read
Over the years, I’ve noticed a pattern: the most serious customers I attract are not the ones who watch my YouTube videos or follow me on Instagram. Those platforms help with brand recall, sure. But when it comes to depth, it’s the blog readers and email subscribers who engage and convert.
Why? Because reading is a more personal act. It's slow. It gives the reader space to reflect, relate, and internalize. And when someone reads your blog or email regularly, you occupy mindshare. You become part of their inner voice.
So if you want to attract high-paying clients—the kind who are ready to spend $1,000 on a course or $10,000 on mentorship—build your audience through writing. Email newsletters. Long-form blogs. Books. These are the tools that attract serious people.
The Serious Ones Will Find You
I’ve launched dozens of courses and programs over the years. Some with mass appeal, others targeted to a specific audience. And I’ve realized something: serious buyers self-select.
When I write deeply and publish consistently, I filter out the window-shoppers. My writing acts as a gatekeeper. People who resonate with it move forward. Those who don’t, move on.
You might think this shrinks your audience. It does. But it grows your impact. And revenue.
Take my current email list. It used to be 4.5 lakh people. Now it’s down to 75,000—pruned and cleaned. Yet this list alone brings in lakhs of revenue whenever I launch something. Because the readers are serious. They open. They click. They buy.
Start with One Person
When I write, I don’t imagine an audience of thousands. I imagine one person—someone I know, someone who needs to hear what I’m about to share.
Writing to one person makes your message clear. It brings empathy into the process. You’re not performing. You’re connecting.
For example, if I know you’re a wealth manager struggling to find high-quality clients, I might share how my own journey shifted when I stopped focusing on mass content and started writing thoughtful essays. That’s relatable. That’s useful.
You need to figure out who your one person is. That’s your customer avatar. And then write to them. Every email. Every post.
Your Life Is Your Marketing
The best hooks don’t come from marketing books. They come from your own life.
If you’re married and struggling to save after your wedding, write about that. If your confidence grew while your hairline receded, share that. If your net worth increased while your social media followers decreased, say it.
People don’t want information. They want connection. And connection comes from stories.
I often write about motorcycling and Bitcoin. Not because they’re random hobbies, but because they are deeply tied to who I am. My brand is not just “Digital Deepak.” It’s Deepak who believes in sovereignty, speed, and sustainability. My life is the message. My writing is how I deliver it.
Build Digital Assets That Compound
Writing is not just about audience-building. It’s asset-building.
A blog post written five years ago still brings traffic. An email sequence built once still converts. A book on Amazon still sells. These are your digital assets. They compound.
You can run ads to get traffic. You can build an Instagram page. But none of those are yours. Your blog is yours. Your email list is yours. That’s where your leverage lies.
Daniel Priestly wrote about the 24 types of assets you can build as a digital entrepreneur. Most of them are writing-based: newsletters, books, courses, lead magnets. You don’t need to do all 24. Pick 5. Stick to them. Grow.
Minimum Viable Entrepreneur
Right now, I live in Indiranagar, Bangalore. My rent is Rs. 70,000 a month. My car EMI is Rs. 40,000. My monthly burn is about 2 lakhs. I don’t spend beyond that.
Why? Because I want the freedom to create without pressure. I want to spend my energy writing, building, sharing—not running on the treadmill of monthly revenue goals.
If I make 4 lakhs a month, I invest 2, spend 2. That’s enough. I call this the Minimum Viable Entrepreneur mindset. Stay lean, stay free.
And this freedom allows me to write from a place of truth. Not hype. Not desperation. That truth builds trust. Trust builds wealth.
My Assignment for You
If you’re in my personal branding program, here’s your task:
Write one blog post (around 500-1000 words)
Write one email copy (to send to your list)
Write one LinkedIn post (short, punchy, authentic)
You can voice-type them. You can draft them in AI. But make sure the ideas are yours.
Writing is not about perfect grammar or viral hooks. It’s about expressing something real to someone who needs it. The rest will follow.
Final Thought
At the end of the day, your writing is not about you. It’s about the impact you create. The mirror you hold up for others. The value you add to someone’s day.
If you can write, you can build a brand. If you can write consistently, you can build an empire. If you can write with soul, you can start a movement.
Let AI assist you. But never outsource your soul.
Write. Publish. Repeat.
That’s how you win in the new world.
