Copywriting used to be the sole domain of creative professionals – but today, thanks to AI, anybody can write copy just by pressing a few buttons! This is good news, especially for affiliate marketers, because their entire business is built on the art of copywriting.
When you turn to AI copywriting, you’re essentially leaving the task to an artificial intelligence tool that can scan the web for thousands of similar pieces and write your sales copy or content for you – or at least get it started!
This is a great way to automate copywriting, focus on more pressing tasks, and play off your strengths. In this post, let’s look at a few reasons why investing in an AI copywriting tool can benefit your affiliate business, plus 5 tips to make the most of AI copywriting for affiliate marketing!
Why You Should Try AI Copywriting Tools for Affiliate Marketing
As a copywriter and affiliate marketer myself, I tend to think of content as the mechanism that makes affiliate marketing possible.
There are countless potential buyers in your niche who want or need something that will solve their problems. As an affiliate marketer, you can create a blog post, social post, video, paid ad, email, or community post that tells them what they should buy – and where – in exchange for a commission!
But given the sheer volume of content out there, the only way to stay competitive is to elevate BOTH the quality and the quantity of your content.
I’ve messed around with several AI tools at this point, from ChatGPT 5 and Claude 3.5 Sonnet to more specialized AI writing tools like Jasper. Let’s look at different ways you can use these tools to make your life as an affiliate MUCH easier!
1) Generate Angles and Hooks at Scale
The linchpin of an affiliate campaign is just an idea.
You need to find a way to attract the attention of your ideal customer profile (ICP) and compel them to click through and eventually purchase your affiliate product. That’s how affiliate sales happen!
In the world of paid media, these ideas are referred to as angles and hooks. Angles are your unique spin on a topic and hooks are the compelling first few lines of text or seconds of video that grab the ICP’s attention and doesn’t let go.
It’s worthwhile to know how to come up with angles and hooks all on your own, of course – but no matter what level of affiliate experience you have, wouldn’t you like to have a steady flow of new ideas for titles, angles, hooks, and taglines to consider deploying at the press of a button?
Here’s an example prompt you can try with an AI tool like ChatGPT-5, Claude 4.5 Sonnet, or Gemini 2.5 Flash (current models of this writing in 2025):
Generate 30 ad hooks for [affiliate offer] targeting [audience] with [pain point]. Please include them in the following formats: 5 curiosity, 5 transformation, 5 listicle, 5 contrarian, 5 problem-agitate, 5 testimonial style. Keep each hook under 90 characters.
These will be for [traffic channel or platform].
With a prompt like this, you can come up with endless ideas for hooks and angles until you find the few that are interesting.
For me, I don’t normally just take whatever the AI tool came up with and use it unchaged – but I appreciate it as a starting point or jumping-off point for my own ideas!
2) Build SEO Blogs That Convert
Even with the last few years of “less-than-helpful” Google algorithm updates, blog posts and articles are still staples of affiliate marketing.
With that said, thin, generic AI content isn’t going to cut it. Given the growing prevalence of Google’s AI Overviews and AI search tools like ChatGPT or Perplexity, your content isn’t just competing with other articles in Google search results – it’s also competing with AI Mode and an assortment of AI tools.
Thankfully, there’s good news here: you can work with AI to speed up multiple aspects of your of publishing workflow, from research and idea generation to outlining and even writing initial drafts.
What I recommend is that you focus on AI in those middle phases – for the outline and research phase – then inject your unique perspective and insights in line with the all-important E-E-A-T (Experience – Expertise – Authoritativeness – Trustworthiness).
Never forget that your value-add over AI is that you’re a real person with emotions, experiences, observations, opinions, and maybe even data. These represent the most important part of any content you create!
Here’s an AI-Supported SEO workflow to follow:
- Use Perplexity, Surfer SEO, or Clearscope to pull top SERP insights. (You can also use an MCP connection between ChatGPT and Ahrefs to pull that tool’s keyword data straight into ChatGPT.)
- If it’s not automatically piped in, enter the data you collect as an attached spreadsheet or part of your prompt in the conversation window using a tool like ChatGPT or Claude. Ask it to build a keyword‑rich outline with the information you provided.
- Insert screenshots, case studies, pros/cons lists, and comparisons drawn from your own tests.
Once you’ve created a full article in this AI-based workflow, you can point readers to your affiliate offer at opportune times throughout the page.
3) Craft High-Impact Copy Variants Across Platforms
Let’s say you have an affiliate campaign that’s converting. Congratulations!
Whether your success is based on an email, ad, article, or social post, an astute affiliate marketer will hold the winner as a control and start testing variants to see if they can continue to improve their click-through rate, cost per click, and of course, total sales.
For example, if you’re on YouTube Ads, here’s a possible hook you could use for a dental ClickBank product like ProDentim:
If you’re brushing your teeth every day and STILL dealing with bad breath, bleeding gums, or cavities… THIS might be why.
Say this curiosity-based ad hook is performing well, leading to lower CPCs and more affiliate product sales.
Well, that’s now your control.
It’s the baseline you want to maintain – but you still want to see if you can get even better performance out of some similar, but slightly different copy variants.
Here’s a good example prompt to help you create those variants:
Take the following YouTube ad hook and generate 5 unique copy variants of the original hook. Each variation should:
- Hook attention in the first 3 seconds.
- Highlight a relatable problem or pain point.
- Tease a curiosity-based solution.
- Keep it under 25 seconds of spoken script (roughly 60-70 words).
Target Audience: Health-conscious adults struggling with bad breath, gum issues, or cavities
Tone: Conversational, slightly contrarian, and curiosity-driven (like a TikTok or YouTube Shorts ad)
Original Hook:
If you’re brushing your teeth every day and STILL dealing with bad breath, bleeding gums, or cavities… this might be why.
You can set up a totally new ad set with these variants to see if any of them outperform your control over the next few weeks.
If they do, you’ve got a new baseline to test with – and if not, you can try again with some other variants!
Either way, AI can dramtically speed up the time it takes to ideate and execute on split testing your campaigns, which is a huge affiliate win!
4) Atomize Content for Short-Form
One of the best ways to get your content discovered and actually grow is with short-form content, such as TikToks, Instagreem Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
The cool thing is, AI is capable of generating 20-30 second video scripts for you, so you never have to worry about what to say in your short-form videos.
But as good as AI is at writing new scripts, it’s even better at taking your already-written long-form content – something like a blog post, YouTube video script, or webinar script – and turning it into a short-form video script.
This is called atomizing, or breaking down something bigger into something smaller.
Try the following prompt:
Using the attached script for inspiration, create five different 30-second short video scripts that follow a hook -> problem -> proof -> CTA flow.
Atomizing for short-form is one way to go, but you can also take the same approach to repurpose your longer content into:
- Emails
- Carousel text/captions
- Tweets/short text snippets
- YouTube video descriptions
- Podcast show notes/descriptions
The list goes on!
Best of all, this approach to working with AI allows you to establish a high degree of quality with your initial output (think pillar blog post, long-form YouTube video, or other in-depth piece of content).
Then, you can grab bits and pieces of those good ideas and incorporate them into platform-native micro-assets for other channels!
5) Research and Fact-Check
When you try to create an affiliate campaign from scratch, you’re probably aware of how much time it takes to actually say something of substance.
That’s why research is one of the most time-consuming steps involved in creating any content or ad.
This is yet another area where AI can speed things up, especially Deep Research mode in tools like ChatGPT.
As an example, I ran a Deep Research report on affiliate marketing business model trends, and over the course of 10-15 minutes, it created five detailed research reports on everything from current trends, traffic channels, proitable niches, business models, and a comprehensice master report that pulls everything together and recommends an action plan based on these insights!
It’s impressive stuff, and I can now create a lot of content or ads that leverage this research.
Of course, if I write about these conclusions, I’m not going to cite ChatGPT as the source here – I’m going to cite the specific sources that Deep Research pulled for me!
And ideally, I’ll read those for myself to fact-check and validate all these insights. In the end, us affiliates are responsbile for what we say, even if an AI tool gathered the data for us!
But ultimately, this is a much more efficient way to pull together facts and synthesize information about a topic, compared to manually looking things up in a library catalog or even conducting Google searches.
Last but not least, I’ll point out that just because you’ve fact-checked the report, that doesn’t mean you’re done. Your content should still come from a human, include exclusive data or facts of your own, and incorporate storytelling, case studies, and testimonials.
In the end, AI is a great junior copywriting assistant who can draft something for you fast – but you need to be the managing editor who ensures whatever you put out there is helpful, persuasive, and compliant!
3 Quickstart Guides for AI Copywriters
Now that you know why investing in AI copywriting tools is a smarter choice, let’s run through a quick guide on how to use the software.
Using these AI tools, you can write blogs, reviews, video scripts, product descriptions, and even a social media post or description at the click of a button. As a starting point, let’s walk through how you would create a blog, video script, or paid ad with AI copywriting!
How to Write a Blog Post with AI Copywriting
Whether you need to write a how-to guide, product review, or listicle, you know the importance of blog content! A B2B blogger spends approximately 4 hours writing a piece of content containing roughly 1460 words, which means a less experienced blog writer will even take longer.
Fortunately, you can speed up the writing process up and sharpen your content using an artificial intelligence copywriter. AI copywriting tools support your creativity, as long as you know how to guide them. This means pre-work is a crucial task in here to facilitate the best output.
Here’s how to use one popular AI tool, Jasper, to create a blog post.
Step 1: Create a Jasper account. You can also log in using Google’s Single Sign-On option.
Step 2: Enter the verification code that Jasper’s team sends you through email.
Step 3: It will then ask you to enter your business details as a part of the account setup.
Step 4: Then, let it know how you plan to use Jasper.
Step 5: You’re all set to use the amazing copywriter AI. It’ll land you on the homepage with a checklist of all the things you can do using Jasper.ai.
Step 6: When you click on the templates, you will notice all the template types available on Jasper. It has over 65+ templates to choose from and segregates them for different requirements as well!
Step 7: Since we’re trying the blog first, click on the ‘blog’ option on the top. It will show only the templates that assist in blog writing. You can also find the same option in listicle format too.
Fun Fact: Jasper offers an ‘explain it to a child’ option where it rephrases any complex piece of content to make it easy to read and understand! That’s half the job done!
Step 8: You can also choose ‘One-Shot Blog Post’ to generate a full-fledged blog with an introduction, body, and conclusion.
I’ve already mentioned the blog topic, the tone, and my intended audience type. I’ve also entered the number 3 below ‘Generate’. This is a command for it to generate the number of copies.
Step 9: It takes less than 30 seconds for Jasper to come up with three varieties of content pieces. You can click on the ‘New Output’ button that’s at the top of the blog’s title.
Step 10: Select any one output for the blog’s preview. You can either copy this material or open it directly in docs.
Editing in the docs gives you a separate advantage altogether. There are two modes to help you edit the content piece with ease.
Focus mode: Jasper is a flexible AI that lets you change the description, tone, and keywords of the current output, and still give you advanced results.
Power mode: Sometimes, we want to have the same content in a different format or another template. Jasper has a solution for this as well!
Use power mode to access their pre-existing templates (on the left) and change your content piece hassle-free.
This AI copywriting tool asks you a few questions to help you find the right answer. But before that, here are some simple tricks to get you the best output.
1. A content brief
Do you always go out for a drive without the destination in mind? You’re more likely to get lost, aren’t you? The concept is the same for writing content. Create a brief about how you want to construct the content piece and what it should say. (And if you’re considering SEO, use a tool like Surfer SEO or Page Optimizer Pro to help you create a good outline for on-page SEO.)
Begin with deciding on your post’s intent and tone. What do you want to achieve with this post, and who is it targeted towards? Once this is clear, it gets easy to figure out every other aspect.
Refer to your competitors’ blogs to check out what they’re doing. Feel free to check out your favorite bloggers’ posts too. Gathering inspiration can never be enough, isn’t it?
2. Research
Learning about the topic in-depth can be truly productive in writing a meaningful blog post. But research can consume loads of your time. Shorten it by half with informational videos. More often than not, the topic you’re brainstorming about has already been addressed by at least a thousand times.
Blogs and videos from subject matter experts offer better insight into the topic. You can cite their information in your content piece as long as you are attributing the links appropriately to their original source.
Numbers always add value to the content structure. Check the latest reports and mention the reference links in your blog post if it’s a research conclusion or statistical data.
3. Outline the blog
Outline is a mere blueprint of what you wish to write in the blog, and it also prevents your thoughts from running wild! A quality outline will have heading, sub-headings, bullet points and a brief description for each of them.
Write those details just enough to have clarity about the subject. Most companies that outsource their content writing to freelancer usually follow this rule, so both parties remain on the same page.
This blueprint also helps you while using AI copywriting tools because most of these tools seek such basic information to gather the right data. And, while editing, you will stick to this outline and avoid any deviations.
Jasper.ai, along with other copywriting tools, offer you outline generators to help you get over your writer’s block. Ah! AI possibilities are unlimited.
How to Write a Video with AI Copywriting
Content writing for a video sounds different and yet is similar to a basic blog. Jasper, an AI copywriting tool, will need you to mention the outline of the topic to be able to collect the right information.
Just follow these easy steps below to make the most out of it.
Step 1: Click on the templates and choose the video option on the top. Create video scripts, outlines, sales letter with a simple command.
Step 2: The AI will prompt you to enter the topic, keyword, and the voice tone. You also have language options to relate to the target audience authentically.
Step 3: Click on Generate for results. Don’t forget to enter the number of outputs you want Jasper to produce.
Step 4: Select the copy that resonates best with you. Just like the blog, Jasper will preview the information where you can favorite it, copy it, or open it in docs separately.
And voila!
Congratulations on not having to brainstorm an entire day to develop a quality video idea! You just have to guide the AI in the right direction to get the desired output. (And it’s also a quality meta-description generator!)
NOTE: Did you know? Jarvis can pick up your tone of writing if you’ve already written searchable content before 2019. All you need to do is enter your name in Jarvis’s ‘tone’ tab.
How to Write a Paid Ad With AI Copywriting
The AI copywriter tool is a boon for all marketers, including media buyers. It’ll help you come up with copy for a range of paid ads on platforms like Google, YouTube, and Facebook Ads.
Now, many marketers lose money because they don’t understand how to monetize their paid ad campaigns to begin with. An AI copywriter tool can’t run your campaigns for you – but it does solve the problem of coming up with lots of interesting hooks and headlines for you!
Here are the steps to create a perfect paid ad.
Step 1: Select the Ads option from the template’s page.
Jasper can rewrite your content piece while following AIDA and PAS frameworks. It primarily caters to Google and Facebook Ads, so you can create high-converting copy intended specifically for these platforms.
Step 2: Enter the product/company details, tone, and description.
The ad description and ad headline work similarly, so you can follow the same steps whether you’re crafting a Google Ad description or Facebook Ad headline. You can also train Jarvis on how you want it to write by inputting examples!
Step 3: Select the output numbers and hit generate. You can go back to the previous results using the history button on the top.
Step 4: There are shortcuts to like, dislike, star, copy or open the result in doc. Select the preview option for any result to view.
We can edit all previews in focus and power mode! Always begin your ad copy with the target audience in perspective, then focus on creating the right headline for a quality impression.
AI can also determine high traffic fetching bids and predict click-through rates and conversions. What makes it unique is its capability to process data effectively. Analyze the competitor’s campaigns to dissect their techniques and find your opportunities to create a foolproof ad using a tool like Jasper AI.
AI Copywriter vs. Professional Copywriter
So, with all this in mind, you probably have one burning question: Is AI going to take away my writing job?
Well, the answer is (mostly) no!
I want to make it very clear what you can expect from an AI copywriter compared to a professional copywriter.
AI copywriting tools exist (for now) to supplement your writing process, and not act as your substitute. It handles a lot of the redundant and monotonous parts of the job.
To write a unique piece of content, the AI follows three essential procedures.
- Data Scan – The AI collects all the pre-existing information on the internet. Blogs, articles, product ads… any text it can find in the virtual world.
- Program – It will then skim through every piece of information related to your topic and organize the structure.
- Output – AI then writes using NPT-3, a Natural Language Generator (NLG) that has 175 billion parameters, to write a decent piece.
All of this magic happens in just a couple of seconds! Now, doesn’t that blow your mind?!
And yet, it lacks the human touch. That’s where you come into the picture.
There are things that AI can’t write or conceive of, no matter how smart it gets. It can create a decent piece of content but can’t make it convincing enough. Here is the list that AI can’t achieve:
- Emotion – Humans are more emotional beings than anything else. Quantum computing cannot compete with humans on conveying warmth, humor, and other emotions yet. A skilled professional can bring content to life.
- Fact checking – AI can certainly reference existing research and data that’s already uploaded on the internet. But generally, the AI cannot validate the authenticity of the data and isn’t smart enough to tell fact from fiction.
- Optimization – Is the content you’re creating optimized for search? Does it take full advantage of the space in a Google Ad? As a marketer, you can bring your knowledge to make sure that any content is optimized for the desired traffic channel or format.
And perhaps most importantly, AI isn’t providing a nuanced and fresh take on a particular issue, or synthesizing information from disparate fields. Don’t expect AI copy to dazzle you with unique insights or say something truly original in an eloquent and thought-provoking way.
Ultimately, AI helps marketers in every industry to make the job less tedious and help create quality copy, but it largely pulls information from existing content on a topic. Yes, it writes perfectly readable copy, but it’s not coming up with brilliant new ideas, making strong comparisons, pulling in intelligent humor or pop culture references, or really leaning into emotion and empathy like a professional would.
But AI copywriters like Jasper AI can streamline the process of cranking out a lot of content, and in today’s world, that’s a huge benefit, as the demand for content is greater than ever.
AI Copywriting for Affiliate Marketing Wrap-up
When it comes to your need for copywriting, there’s almost no limit – who wouldn’t benefit from more hooks to test, more SEO content to bring in traffic, more emails to blast to your list?
AI becomes a helpful option because you don’t have to come up with unique content from scratch every time you sit down to write.
All marketers of every industry should know the value of efficient writing AI offers. Whether it’s an SEO optimization tool, email marketing tool, or deep research tool, AI has become an integral part of the marketing professional’s workflow.
Not only does it enhance your productivity, but it helps save creative energy for more important problems than writing an intro paragraph.
AI changes the way writers think or brainstorm, but for some, they’d rather figure out 20 thoughtful ideas than skim through 250 reasonable ones. Collecting the dots and connecting them elegantly will always be a copywriter’s job, no matter what!
