Your AI content sucks.
Your competitors' AI content sucks.
Everyone's AI content sucks.

And you know what's worse? You're all paying through the nose for it.

While you're sitting there wrestling with prompts like a cat trying to open a doorknob, we've built something that actually works. Because unlike every other "revolutionary AI tool" (looking at you, [REDACTED]), we know it takes more than 10 prompts and a prayer to write content that doesn't sound like it was outsourced to a drunk toddler.

We use 450+ prompts. Overkill? Maybe. But at least our stuff doesn't read like it was written by an AI having an existential crisis.

Some receipts for the skeptics:
↳ Slapped 400 blogs on our site = 10x traffic in 3 months
↳ Halved content budgets while 5x-ing output (yeah, your Content Manager's been lying about costs)
↳ Helped tiny startups pimp-slap Fortune 500s right off page 1

After a decade watching the B2B content circus, I've seen every "game-changing" tool and "revolutionary" AI writer. Most of them belong in the same trash bin as your last strategic plan.

Here's the uncomfortable truth: Your investors aren't buying your "we're playing the long game" BS anymore. They want to see organic traction, and your three LinkedIn posts from 2023 aren't cutting it.

You need Penfriend.ai if:
✓ Your competitors are living rent-free at the top of Google while you're still "building awareness"
✓ VCs are ghosting you because your "organic presence" looks like a digital ghost town
✓ You're burning cash on content that reads like it was plagiarized from a terms of service agreement
✓ You're ready to stop being the industry's wallflower and start being its problem child

Sound familiar? Then you're exactly who we're looking for.

The hard truth? You suck at AI. But it's not your fault. You've been sold a lie by companies who think "AI writing" means letting GPT go wild after a two-prompt foreplay.

We fixed it. Because someone had to.

DM me "PAGE ONE" and I'll show you how we're helping companies terrorize their competition online.

P.S. If you're happy with generic, soulless AI content that sounds like everyone else's, this probably isn't for you. And that's okay. Someone has to keep the internet boring.

5 LinkedIn content frameworks to build trust, fast!

(that the algorithm loves and promotes! 😍)

5 LI Posts to Build Trust, Fast

Everyone's obsessing over AEO optimization. Meanwhile, they're ignoring what actually gets cited:

→ Original research and proprietary data 
→ Strong POV backed by experience 
→ Depth and relevancy 

But some are treating AEO like it's SEO back in 2012. 

“Let’s crack this.” 
“Just follow this checklist.”

But ChatGPT and Claude don’t cite "optimized for AEO."

Sure, you might game your way into AI citations for a bit. But (thankfully), it will evolve to prioritize what buyers already trust:

- Content that sales teams send to prospects
- ⁠Content that gets shared in internal Slack channels
- ⁠Content that shows up in buying conversations
- ⁠Content that influences deals and stakeholders 

That's what gets indexed.

You can't optimize your way into trust. But build trust, and optimization takes care of itself.

My client's LinkedIn video got 110,000+ impressions... but we're NOT doubling down on video.

Look, LinkedIn video is growing at 2x the rate of other post formats (the LinkedIn CMO said it herself). Every platform does this – launch feature, boost engagement, create FOMO.

Recently, we posted a video that reached 110,000+ impressions in just a few hours.

But we’re not pivoting our entire strategy to video.

Here's why:

01/ Massive distribution ≠ right distribution.

110k impressions sounds impressive until you look at who actually saw it. Video gets pushed to broader, colder audiences. I’ve seen this pattern with dozens of clients - huge impression spikes that hardly move the needle on pipeline.

02/ Impressions ≠ views.

For video, views should be the primary metric, not impressions. There's a reason YouTube prioritizes view count.

03/ It creates false benchmarks. 

When one video hits 110k, you start expecting that performance every time. But organic content doesn't work that way.

04/ Pipeline influence >>> vanity metrics. 

This client's brand has influenced $10M+ in enterprise deals over the last 6 months with FAR fewer impressions on average posts.

91% of buyers coming to a sales meeting are already familiar with your company (Wynter, 2025).

Brand + content + trust + right audience = 
make it to their vendor shortlist. 
 
We're not changing our strategy… this 110k+ video is just another content asset working with our strategy.
