Why I'm Running an AI Blog Experiment on Old Blogger in 2025

The Questions

“Why Blogger? In 2025?”

Substack pays. WordPress scales. Ghost looks clean.

I stick with Blogger. On purpose.

The Reasons

  1. Zero Overhead No hosting fees. No plugin updates. No downtime. I write. AI co-writes. Post goes live. Done.
  2. Google Owns Search Blogger = Google product. Built-in SEO juice. Faster indexing. My 2016 posts still rank. No extra work.
  3. Speed Beats Perfection Fancy platforms slow creation. Blogger loads in 0.8 seconds. I test ideas in hours, not days.
  4. AI Needs a Sandbox Grok trains on my voice. Blogger lets me publish 10 drafts daily. No paywall. No friction. Pure iteration.
  5. AdSense Still Pays Clean 300x250 below H1. Horizontal under post. $0.02–$0.15 per click. Scales with traffic. (Still under review as of November 16 AM.)

Blogger + Grok Experiment Guidelines

  • M/W/F: Synthesis posts (sourced from uploaded personally written archives).
  • T/Th: How-to guides.
  • Sat: AI Dispatch (prompt audit, documentation, and commentary).
  • Sun: My solo copy.
  • Platform: Blogger only. No migration.
  • Every post copy-edited and co-written by human eye and hand. 

Proof It Works

Here Grok hallucinated inaccurate data and imaginary revenue for our Silence + Zone 2 Cardio post.

Finally, there was a Your Move section with concise sentences about starting a Blogger today. 

Reason #2, Google Owns Search, is the primary reason why I decided to run this experiment on my old Blogger. It's also free, easy, and has a sizeable library to train Grok on for its content.

Until 2026 (at least) I will be publishing daily content designed to be concise and valuable on the Blog.

Jim Rohn Notes

Jim Rohn is the Godfather of self-development programs. He's helped countless people improve themselves and others, including a young Tony Robbins.  These are my (sparse) notes from  The Ultimate Jim Rohn Library  audiobook: Goal Setting  1. What 5 things have you already accomplished that you're proud of? 2. What do you want in the next 10 years? List at least 50 things.  3. Rate each item 1, 3, 5, or 10 for an estimate as to how many years each item will take to achieve.  4. Count how many of each (1, 3, 5, and 10) you have.  5. On your list of 1-year goals, which are the 4 most important?  6. Why are those 4 goals important to you?  *When the Why gets stronger, the How gets easier. *Purpose is stronger than object. *"What kind of person must I become to achieve all I want?" *When you've accomplished some goals, you need more goals to accomplish.  *Celebrate a significant / important goal reached. *Celebrate family goals as a family. *...

Age of Propaganda by Anthony Pratkanis & Elliot Aronson [Book Summary #8]

Rating: 9/10 This hefty book gives scientific background into the art of persuasion using real-life examples.
