How It Works
I design topic clusters — a set of articles built to cover one subject completely.
I don't write single articles.

Topic Clusters Demo
Pick a cluster topic, see how it’s structured, then watch the same article rewritten through four different Personas – same brief, completely different writer persona.
Budgeting for Beginners
4 articles · Beginner to Intermediate audience
Hub: What Is Zero-Based Budgeting
Same brief
- Type: Info
- Target Audience: budget-curious beginner
- Role: Introduces zero-based budgeting as a concept, establishes why most people fail at budgeting, and frames the cluster’s central question: how do you make every dollar work?
- Mini Brief: Define zero-based budgeting and how it differs from traditional budgeting. Explain the core mechanic (income minus expenses = zero). Cover who it works best for. Address the most common misconception (zero balance ≠ broke). Set up the reader to explore specific methods and tools in spoke articles.
Different Persona
Spoke 1: How to Track Expenses
Same brief
- Type: How-to
- Target Audience: budget-conscious beginner
- Role: Provides the foundational skill that makes any budgeting method work. Practical entry point for readers who know they need to budget but don’t know where to start.
- Mini Brief: Explain why expense tracking is the prerequisite to budgeting. Cover three tracking methods: manual (spreadsheet), app-based, and bank categorization. Walk through setting up a simple tracking system. Include common tracking mistakes and how to avoid them.
Different Persona
Spoke 2: 50/30/20 Rule vs Zero-Based Budgeting
Same brief
- Type: Comparison
- Target Audience: budget-aware intermediate
- Role: Helps readers who already know both methods exist decide which fits their situation. Deepens the Hub’s framing by showing zero-based budgeting in context against its most popular alternative.
- Mini Brief: Define both methods clearly without assuming prior knowledge. Compare across four dimensions: time investment, flexibility, best income type (fixed vs variable), and psychological fit. Address who should use each. End with a decision framework, not a winner.
Different Persona
Spoke 3: Best Budgeting Apps
Same brief
- Type: Listicle
- Target Audience: budget-ready beginner
- Role: Converts readers who understand budgeting concepts into action. Provides the tool layer that makes the Hub’s method executable.
- Mini Brief: Cover 5-7 apps. For each: what budgeting method it supports, cost, key feature, and who it’s best for. Include at least one free option and one zero-based specific app (YNAB). Address the “best app is the one you’ll use” reality. No affiliate framing.
Different Persona
Intermittent Fasting
4 articles · Beginner to Intermediate audience
Hub: How Intermittent Fasting Works
Same brief
- Type: Info
- Target Audience: health-curious beginner
- Role: Establishes the biological mechanism behind intermittent fasting, frames it as a timing strategy rather than a diet, and sets up the cluster’s central question: which method fits your life?
- Mini Brief: Explain what happens metabolically during a fasting window (insulin drop, glycogen depletion, fat oxidation). Define the most common protocols without ranking them. Address the most common misconception (fasting ≠ starvation). Cover who should not fast without medical supervision. Set up spoke articles by hinting at method differences and gender considerations.
Different Persona
Spoke 1: 16:8 vs 5:2 Method
Same brief
- Type: Comparison
- Target Audience: fasting-curious intermediate
- Role: Helps readers move from “I want to try intermittent fasting” to “I know which protocol to start with.” Deepens the Hub’s method overview into a practical decision.
- Mini Brief: Explain both protocols mechanically — not just what they are but why the timing structures produce different physiological responses. Compare across: daily sustainability, social eating compatibility, muscle retention risk, and results timeline. Address common failure points of each. End with a decision framework based on lifestyle type, not willpower.
Different Persona
Spoke 2: What to Eat During Eating Window
Same brief
- Type: Info
- Target Audience: fasting-practicing intermediate
- Role: Serves readers already doing intermittent fasting who want to optimize results. Shifts focus from timing to food quality — the layer most beginners miss.
- Mini Brief: Explain why food quality during the eating window determines whether fasting produces results or just hunger. Cover macronutrient priorities (protein for muscle retention, fat for satiety, carb timing). Address what breaks a fast vs what doesn’t. Include practical meal structure for a 16:8 window. Avoid meal plan prescriptions — focus on principles.
Different Persona
Spoke 3: Intermittent Fasting for Women
Same brief
- Type: Info
- Target Audience: health-aware intermediate woman
- Role: Addresses a critical gap in mainstream intermittent fasting content — hormonal considerations that make standard protocols less effective or potentially harmful for women. Expands the cluster’s reach to a distinct audience segment.
- Mini Brief: Explain how the female hormonal cycle interacts with fasting-induced cortisol and estrogen fluctuation. Cover why standard 16:8 advice doesn’t account for luteal phase sensitivity. Discuss modified protocols that work better for women (shorter fasting windows, cycle syncing). Address the difference between pre- and post-menopausal responses. Cite relevant research without overstating conclusions.
Different Persona
Email Marketing
4 articles · Beginner to Intermediate audience
Hub: How Email Marketing Works
Same brief
- Type: Info
- Target Audience: marketing-aware beginner
- Role: Establishes email marketing as a system, not just a tool. Frames the cluster around the central question: how do you build a list that actually converts?
- Mini Brief: Explain the full email marketing loop: list building → segmentation → campaign → automation → analytics. Define key metrics (open rate, CTR, unsubscribe rate) without going deep on benchmarks. Address the most common misconception (more subscribers ≠ better results). Cover permission-based marketing basics and why it matters for deliverability. Set up spoke articles on list building, platform selection, and benchmarks.
Different Persona

Address GDPR/CAN-SPAM basics without legal depth.
Different Persona
Spoke 2: Best Email Marketing Platforms
Same brief
- Type: Comparison
- Target Audience: marketing-deciding intermediate
- Role: Helps readers choosing their first or second platform make an informed decision based on use case, not feature lists. Provides the tool layer for the Hub’s system.
- Mini Brief: Cover 5-6 platforms. For each: pricing model, automation depth, deliverability reputation, and best-fit use case. Focus on three decision scenarios: solopreneur on a budget, small e-commerce store, content creator. Address the switching cost problem — why platform choice matters early. No affiliate framing.
Different Persona
Spoke 3: Email Open Rate Benchmarks
Same brief
- Type: Info
- Target Audience: marketing-practicing intermediate
- Role: Serves readers already running campaigns who need context for their numbers. Shifts focus from setup to performance measurement — the analytical layer most beginners skip.
- Mini Brief: Cover industry average open rates by sector (cite specific data source). Explain why average benchmarks are misleading without list quality context. Define what actually moves open rates: subject line, sender name, send time, list hygiene. Address the iOS privacy update impact on open rate tracking accuracy. End with a diagnostic framework: how to tell if your open rate is a subject line problem vs a list quality problem.
Different Persona
Getting Started with Home Assistant
4 articles · Beginner to Intermediate audience
Hub: What Is Home Assistant
Same brief
- Type: Info
- Target Audience: tech-curious beginner
- Role: Establishes Home Assistant as a local-first smart home platform, frames it against cloud-dependent alternatives, and sets up the cluster’s central question: is Home Assistant worth the setup complexity?
- Mini Brief: Define Home Assistant and its local processing model. Explain why local vs cloud matters (privacy, reliability, no subscription). Cover hardware requirements (Raspberry Pi, dedicated machine, Home Assistant Green). Address the most common misconception (it’s too technical for non-developers). Introduce the three main entry points: Nabu Casa, HACS, and native integrations. Set up spoke articles on device compatibility and setup.
