Best Practices for Instant Authority Posts with Comet
Written by Fred Ferguson – GeezerWise on Substack at www.geezerwise.com #Perplexity
Let’s be honest: AI can crank out words all day long… but authority doesn’t come from word count.
It comes from accuracy, clarity, and trust. That means even with Comet doing the heavy lifting, you’ve got to steer the ship.
Here are the best practices that turn “good enough” into authority-level publishing:
1. Edit Like You Mean It
Comet drafts fast, but don’t just copy-paste and hit publish. Review every stat, double-check quotes, and rewrite spots that feel bland. Authority comes from your perspective, not just machine summaries.
2. Cross-Check Sources
Comet pulls in real-time data, but the web is full of outdated junk. If you see a stat or claim you don’t recognize, click through and verify. Trust is built on accuracy.
3. Use Shortcuts Wisely
Set up prompts like “auto-cite every statistic” or “fetch three expert quotes per section.” This keeps posts consistent and saves you from manually patching holes every time.
4. Sharpen Your Prompts
Vague in, vague out. Instead of “Write about AI browsers,” try “Compare three AI browsers for solo marketers and create a table of strengths/weaknesses.” The sharper the input, the smarter the output.
5. Tailor the Tone
Authority posts don’t have to sound like a textbook. Ask Comet to rewrite for a conversational audience, a startup founder, or your niche readers. Fit the voice to the audience.
6. Archive Your Work
Don’t let gold get buried. Use Comet’s project grouping to organize past drafts, quotes, and sources. The more you recycle insights, the richer your authority base grows.
7. Keep Experimenting
Ask Comet for counterarguments, alternative headlines, or infographic ideas. Authority grows with iteration. Each tweak sharpens your edge.
Bottom line: Comet saves the hours, but you add the authority.
Combine its automation with your insight, and your posts stop being “more noise” and start being the ones people bookmark.
