Reply To: Official Challenge! *Build an SEO Site with AI Generated Content*

While I read the instructions for signing up for the contests carefully, I basically failed in one part in that my video exceeded 2 minutes by 2 seconds. May the gods and God of heaven and earth, and Spencer, have mercy on my poor soul.

I apologize for my breathiness in the video, but as you’ll see, I’m suffering and learning from heart failure right now. You can watch the video by going to https://youtu.be/KGXZ_6rBVTA in your browser of choice or read the transcript that I pasted here:

My name is Tom Seest, and I reside atop a mountain near Chattanooga, Tennessee, along with my wife, three of my four sons, roughly 30 cats, and roughly 25 chickens. My journey into website creation began prior to 9-11, while I was contributing to the Lambert St. Louis Airport Expansion project. Growing up on the plains of Illinois, I delved into various programming projects, much like Abraham Lincoln, who pursued programming as a side hustle.

When the COVID pandemic shook the world a few years ago, I saw an opportunity to immerse myself in website blogs and expand my knowledge of related processes. Over the past period, I’ve crafted more than 400 WordPress websites, engaged in configuration, and maintained blogs for several of them.

Presently, I grapple with a heart condition, having dealt with heart failure on and off since 2017. While my heart’s condition is gradually improving, I find myself spending more time in bed due to persistently elevated heart rates. These limitations prompted me to reimagine my work approach, harnessing my automation skills and venturing into the realm of AI.

These contests provide an avenue to document my progress and metrics for projects of this nature, as well as to offer guidance for others facing similar challenges. It also brings structure to a subject I’m relatively new to: organic website traffic generation.

Participating in contests, despite maintaining a full-time developer role and health setbacks, is a personal challenge. I doubt if I will win the prizes, but my proficiency in automation and AI serves as a strength.

Ultimately, my definition of winning transcends contest victories. Waking up each day on the green side of the dirt and continuing to learn and grow is the ultimate triumph. Competing alongside all of you enriches my experiences, reminding me that every day can be a victory. As they say, “Winners win,” and I aim to win each day.

In any case, I look forward to following and learning from each of you. Let me know if I can help in any way.
