As an English non-native, I can't reproduce the way to create an article in 1-2 hours. Can you guys do it easily?

Anyway, their strategy is one of the popular ways of content marketing. But each step has something new in detail. Good takeaways!

I think there are a few ways to make this scale using chatgpt and perhaps a human to review/edit rather than write.

Yeah, some parts are perhaps copied/pasted. As you say, their tips include the way to shorten the time of creating an article. That should be the reason they expressed not "write an article" but "create an article".

Yeah, they're professionals, they churn out content constantly. I'm willing to bet that you can write 500-1000 words in your native language in the same time about any topic.

You can hop onto a lot of freelance sites and find writers that will write under 1000 words for not much.
