Episode #112: AI Tools for Content Creation: How to Make Amazing Content in Minutes
As a solopreneur or small business owner, you’re likely juggling a dozen (or more) tasks at any given moment.
Creating content is just one of those tasks, and from brainstorming content ideas to crafting captivating headlines and designing scroll-stopping visuals, the content creation grind can feel freakin’ endless.
If that resonates with you, I’ve got good news: AI tools are here to help!
These tools are not about replacing your creativity; they’re about enhancing it while giving you back valuable time to focus on growing your business.
Let’s explore five incredible AI tools that can transform the way you create and share content, making your workflow faster, easier, and way more enjoyable.
Why AI Tools Matter for Content Creation
The process of creating content can feel like a time-consuming chore — brainstorming ideas, writing drafts, editing, designing visuals, optimizing for SEO… the list goes on (and on…. and on…)
AI tools are designed to take some of that weight off your shoulders. They simplify repetitive tasks, streamline your processes, and, most importantly, give you back time to focus on what really matters: connecting with your audience and scaling your business.
These tools don’t replace your creativity — they amplify it.
Whether you’re drafting captions, editing videos, or researching keywords, these tools are your new productivity partners.
Now, let’s dive into my top five AI tool recommendations.
1. Headline Studio: Craft Engaging Headlines
Writing headlines that grab attention and drive clicks is no small feat, but Headline Studio makes it feel effortless.
This tool helps you analyze and refine your headlines to make them more engaging, SEO-friendly, and clickable. Whether you’re working on blog posts, email subject lines, YouTube videos, Podcast episodes, or social media captions, this tool ensures your headlines are doing their job.
One of my favorite features is the “stoplight” system that rates your headline (red, yellow, green) and offers actionable suggestions to improve it. Plus, you can use its AI-powered generator to come up with headline ideas tailored to your audience and tone.
PRO TIP: Use Headline Studio to refine your podcast titles and cross-check them for SEO performance across platforms like YouTube and blogs.
2. Descript: Simplify Video and Audio Editing
If you’re working with video or audio content, Descript is a must-have.
This tool makes editing as simple as editing a Google Doc. You can transcribe your content, rearrange sections, and even polish the final product in just a few clicks.
Descript is perfect for repurposing your content — turning a podcast episode into a blog post, audiograms, or social media clips. It eliminates the need for expensive software or professional editing services, making it accessible for anyone.
Why I Love It: Descript allows you to get more mileage out of your content. With minimal effort, you can create multiple formats from a single piece of content.
3. Canva: Your Design Bestie
If you’re not already using Canva, it’s time to jump on board.
This tool is a go-to platform for creating professional-looking graphics without needing a design degree. Even the free version offers hundreds of templates to help you create social media posts, presentations, and more.
Canva’s AI features, like Magic Resize and Magic Write, take your designs to the next level. Magic Resize lets you adapt a single design for multiple platforms (Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook) with just a click, while Magic Write helps you generate copy that aligns with your brand voice.
Canva has been rolling out a huge number of AI features in their Magic Studio, and if you haven’t checked them all out, it’s time. There are some seriously cool (and time-saving) tools in the Magic Studio that are going to make you look like a wizard, Harry. (Harry Potter joke, anyone?) 🧙‍♀️
PRO TIP: Explore Canva’s new AI tools, like Magic Eraser for editing photos or Magic Animate for adding motion to your designs. These features save tons of time while ensuring your visuals look polished and on-brand.
4. OpusClip: Maximize Your Video Content
If you’ve ever wasted hours scrolling through a long video to find the “perfect” short clips for social media, OpusClip is about to change your life.
This tool analyzes your videos and automatically identifies the most engaging segments, turning them into short, shareable clips for platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts.
OpusClip even allows you to customize templates with your logo and brand colors, adding the types of captions you prefer, etc. – ensuring a cohesive look across your content.
It’s important to note, you can repurpose any videos – it doesn’t have to be published content. So if you have webinars, coaching calls, team calls, or tutorials those can all be used with OpusClip.
My Workflow: I use OpusClip to generate 5–10 clips from each of my podcast episode. It’s fast, effective, and helps me stay consistent across multiple platforms within a matter of minutes.
5. Keywords Everywhere: Simplify SEO
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) might sound intimidating, but Keywords Everywhere makes it accessible — even for beginners.
This browser extension provides keyword suggestions, search volume data, and competitive insights right where you need them.
If you’re new to SEO, this tool is a fantastic starting point. It helps you choose the right keywords to target, ensuring your content reaches the audience it’s meant for. Plus, with plans starting at just $6 per month, it’s incredibly budget-friendly.
Why It’s a Game-Changer: By taking the guesswork out of keyword research, Keywords Everywhere allows you to create content that drives traffic and builds visibility.
Pro Tips for Using AI Tools
- Start Small: Test each tool with simple projects before diving into complex workflows.
- Tweak and Refine: AI tools are powerful, but they still need your personal touch to deliver the best results.
- Stay Consistent: The more you integrate these tools into your workflow, the more streamlined your content creation process will become.

Most productive 15 minutes of my week!
"Honestly, this episode was amazing. I'm a business owner and I consider myself fairly tech savvy, but Sarah took it to another level in the best way possible. A few of the tips, I knew about, but I hadn't implemented, but now I better understand why I need to implement now, not later. AND there were so many ideas that I hadn't ever thought about! Incredibly awesome. Thanks, Sarah!"

Work Smarter.
While primarily targeted at small business owners and entrepreneurs, Tech Savvy 101 offers value to a broader audience. I'm a technology professional with 15 years of experience in the enterprise space, and I found this podcast really approachable and even applicable to personal and family management. Sometimes it's just helpful to have somebody break down and apply those professional best practices in the smaller scale setting. Her episode on AI prompting was a great one. We're hurtling through a digital native world, and we've ultimately just got to work smarter. I found Sarah easy to listen to, and the topics approachable for even the most lay audience.
