AI Blog Writer

The AI Blog Writer lets you generate high-quality blog posts in minutes using OpenAI. You provide a topic or brief — the AI drafts the post — you review and publish.

​
Creating a post with AI

  1. Go to Admin → Blog Writer.
  2. Click + New AI Draft.
  3. Fill in the Topic prompt:
    • Be specific for better results
    • Example: “Write a 600-word blog post about studying nursing in Australia, targeting Kenyan students. Include visa requirements, typical tuition costs, and why IEC is the best choice.”
  4. Select the Target audience — Students / Parents / General
  5. Click Generate.
The AI will produce a full draft in about 10–20 seconds.

​
Reviewing and editing the draft

The draft opens in the rich-text editor. Always review:
  • ✅ Factual accuracy — check tuition figures, visa requirements, deadlines
  • ✅ IEC brand voice — warm, professional, encouraging
  • ✅ IEC contact details — add them to the call-to-action if not present
  • ✅ SEO — ensure the target keyword appears in the title and first paragraph
  • ❌ Remove any competitor names that may appear in the draft
  1. Click the Featured Image section.
  2. Upload an image or paste a URL.
  3. Recommended: 1200×630px, JPG or PNG.

​
Publishing

  • Save as Draft — save without going live
  • Submit for Review — counselors use this; admins can skip straight to Publish
  • Publish — post goes live on the public website immediately

​
Managing published posts

From the Blog Writer list view you can:
  • Edit a published post (changes go live immediately)
  • Unpublish — hide a post without deleting it
  • Delete — permanently remove (use with caution — external links will break)

​
SEO tips

  • Keep titles under 60 characters
  • Write a meta description of 120–160 characters
  • Use destination names in the title (e.g., “Study in Canada” ranks better than “Studying Abroad”)
  • Include an internal link to the Apply or Contact page in every post
