How to Make $400 Per Day Blogging With AI

Creating content used to make a lot of people dread blogging. You’d stare at the screen for hours, and even spend more hours editing.

All of that has changed now.

AI blog automation has really levelled the playing field in a way we’ve never seen before. Little bloggers — with no team, no budget, and no tech skills — can now write blog posts fast and pull in tens of thousands of visitors a month and earn up to $400 a day.

It’s insane.

I honestly think every small blogger should be focusing on how to leverage AI automation if they want fast growth.

In this post, I’ll show you the exact process I use (step by step) so you can start making $100 per day, scale up to $400 per day, and finally build a blog that works while you sleep.

The 6-Step method to $400 Per Day Blogging With AI

Here’s the roadmap:

1. Pick a theme people already care about

2. Leverage SEO to triple your traffic

3. Use AI writing tools to create posts fast

4. Monetize with affiliate programs, ads, and digital products

5. Auto pin your posts to Pinterest

6. Collect emails and build your list

Step 1: Pick a Theme People Already Care About

The first step is to pick a topic people care about.

If you want readers, you need to write about something people are actually interested in.

Too many new bloggers pick a topic that sounds fun but has no audience and then wonder why no one shows up.

This is where AI makes life so much easier. Instead of guessing, you can open ChatGPT and simply type:

“Give me 5 blog ideas that are profitable, trending, and beginner-friendly.”

ChatGPT will give you a ready-made list of topics that people are searching for right now.

For example, you might see:

• Meal prep for busy moms

• Small apartment decorating hacks

• Side hustles you can do during nap time

When you do this, you save yourself from wasting months writing about a subject that no one is Googling.

Starting with a theme people already care about gives you a much better chance of getting readers and making money.

Step 2: Leverage SEO to Triple Your Traffic

Now before you start writing. You want to be sure that your topic and blog post includes the exact questions people are already typing into Google.

So here’s what to do:

• Take the keyword ideas you got from ChatGPT.

• Plug them into a tool like Keysearch.co

• Look at search volume (how many people search it monthly) and difficulty score (how hard it is to rank).

  
  

👉 The goal is to find keywords with decent search volume and low difficulty. That’s where you stand the best chance of ranking.

For example, if you search for a keyword and see zero Google traffic, that’s unfruitful — don’t waste your time. But if you find one with thousands of monthly searches and an easy difficulty score, that’s your green light.

You can go deeper into your research by checking competitors. On the Keysearch tool , when you enter your keyword, you’ll see the first 10 blogs that rank on the first page of Google for that keyword. If a small site is already ranking, then you know you can write a stronger, better post and possibly rank even higher.

💡 If you want a shortcut: the best SEO tutorial I recommend is Stupid Simple SEO. It’s straightforward, practical, and will give you what you need to scale to $400/day with your site.

Step 3: Use Automated Writing Tools

Now This is the game-changer. Once you find great keywords. It’s time to start writing.

No more spending hours writing from scratch.

In one simple request and click, Koala AI can write a full blog post for you with headings, images, internal links, and even meta descriptions.

All you do is feed it your keyword, review the draft, and add your personal touch.

Why Koala is great :

• Speed: Instead of spending a week writing one post, you can get 10 done in a single day.

• Structure: The draft already comes SEO-optimized with H2s and H3s, so your content looks clean and professional.

• Consistency: Publishing regularly tells Google your site is active, which improves your chances of ranking.

Step 4: Auto Pin Your Posts to Pinterest

Now it’s time to generate traffic. Pinterest is one of the best places for new bloggers to send traffic to their website.

Years ago, people had to manually create pins and spend hours on Pinterest posting everyday. Very tedious.

But now?

AI tools have changed the game. I use Tailwind or the automation features in Koala to schedule pins. That way, my pins go out automatically, my blog gets steady traffic, and I’m not glued to my laptop.

Remember that not every blog topic will do well on Pinterest.

Pinterest users are planners and buyers, so certain niches always perform best:

Home + Decor – space-saving hacks, organizing, seasonal decorating.

Fashion + Beauty – outfit formulas, capsule wardrobes, nails, hairstyles.

Food + Recipes – quick meals, family dinners, holiday food ideas.

Parenting + Family – routines, checklists, kids’ activities, baby showers.

Health + Wellness – self-care, fitness, clean eating, mental health tips.

Personal Finance + Side Hustles – budgeting, saving money, making money from home.

DIY + Crafts – printables, handmade gifts, seasonal projects.

👉 If your content helps someone improve their home, style, meals, family life, health, or finances, it’s a perfect fit for Pinterest.

Step 5: Collect Emails and Build Your List

This is the step most bloggers skip, but it’s the one that makes you the most money long term.

Traffic is great, but it can disappear overnight if Google or Pinterest changes its algorithm. Your email list is an audience you own and can reach anytime.

Here’s how to start creating your email list

1. Create a simple freebie — like a checklist, template, or short PDF guide.

2. Use a free email tool like MailerLite or ConvertKit to make a sign-up form.

3. Add the form to your blog posts and sidebar so visitors can subscribe

Even with a small list, you can make consistent sales because these readers already know and trust you.

Infact I believe automated writing of helpful content and your email list are the two main reasons you’ll get to your $400 per day goal.

The Big Picture

With AI in your corner, blogging is no longer about long nights and slow growth. It’s about:

• Using ChatGPT to brainstorm profitable niches.

• Using Keysearch to find keywords that rank (that’s how I got several posts on page 1 of Google).

• Letting Koala AI draft posts at lightning speed.

• Monetizing with ads, affiliates, and products.

• Driving traffic through automated Pinterest pins.

• Building your email list for long-term profit.

That’s how you go from $100/day to $400/day as a small blogger.

And the best part? You don’t need a team. You don’t need a budget. You just need to follow the steps and let AI do the heavy lifting.
