Ever wished your blog could write itself? I did too. So I built a tool that does just that—an automated system that can create a blog post automatically, pick images to match, and publish everything without me clicking a thing.
ANSWER: A blog post generator uses simple automation tools like n8n, OpenAI, and WordPress to draft, format, and publish blog content hands-free. Once set up, it creates consistent posts and even handles images.
How to create a blog post automatically
The magic starts with choosing the right pieces for automation. I picked n8n (like a DIY wiring board for online tools), OpenAI (for writing), and WordPress (the blog platform I use). Here’s how it works together:
- n8n pulls topic ideas from a list or RSS feed
- OpenAI writes a full post using the topic and my template
- Another step grabs a related image
- The post gets neatly formatted and published on WordPress
The whole thing runs on its own once it’s triggered. It’s like having a quiet assistant who never complains.
Simple tools to help write blog posts
You don’t need to be a tech wizard. These are beginner-friendly tools, and many are visual—so you’re clicking and dragging more, coding less. Some helpful tools I used:
- n8n: Free, visual automation builder
- OpenAI GPT: For writing blog posts
- Pexels API: To find royalty-free images
- WordPress + plugin: For publishing
I also added a random delay so all my posts don’t go out at the same time—makes it look more natural.
Easy ways to publish blog content myself
If automation sounds like too much, there are still ways to make publishing faster. Schedule posts in WordPress, keep templates on hand, or even use voice-to-text tools when you feel inspired but hate typing.
Automation just takes the next step: removing publishing from your mental to-do list entirely.
Beginner guide to making a blog writing tool
Start small. First, experiment with OpenAI’s playground or ChatGPT. Try writing a mock blog post about your cat or your favorite recipe. Then explore a free tool like n8n where you drag boxes around to connect steps—like “When this happens, do that.”
Visual learners love n8n because it looks more like a whiteboard than a coding screen.
How to set up a blog post generator for beginners
Here’s a general roadmap that worked for me:
- Plan a blog post structure (title, intro, main points, CTA)
- Write a few sample posts to use as templates
- Set up an n8n workflow to use GPT to fill those templates
- Connect outputs to a WordPress plugin that can publish drafts

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to know code to build a blog generator?
A: No. Tools like n8n and WordPress plugins are visual and code-optional. If you can follow a YouTube tutorial, you can set this up.
Q: How often can I make it publish posts?
A: As often as you like—daily, weekly, or even based on triggers like new emails or calendar events.
Q: Will all my posts sound robotic?
A: Not if you guide the AI well with friendly tone examples. I gave mine a light, natural voice—sort of like this one!
Q: Can it include SEO keywords?
A: Yes! Add keywords to your templates, and the tool will include them just like a human writer would.
