+3. How to Use Claude Code (KD 28)
+
+Then publish this as comprehensive pillar content that links back to those articles. KD 38 is competitive but Josh's hands-on credibility from previous articles creates differentiation.

+
+## Discovery
+
+**Source:** SEO Research for Josh & Mara warmup articles — 2026-01-10
+**Evidence:**
+- "canva ai video generator" = 49,500 monthly searches (!!)
+- KD: 16-25 (LOW for this volume — exceptional)
+- Search intent: Informational
+- Target audience: Existing Canva users, small business owners, social media managers, non-designers
+
+## Why This Matters
+
+MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY:
+- 49,500 searches = highest volume in entire research
+- KD 16 = very low competition for this volume
+- Most rare high-volume/low-competition keyword found
+- Many people already have Canva subscriptions
+- They want to know what's possible WITHOUT additional tools
+
+## Content Angle
+
+**Title:** "Canva's AI Video Features: What's Actually Useful and What's Just Hype"
+
+**Mara's Approach:**
+- Honest evaluation of Canva's AI video tools
+- Help users understand what they can do with existing subscription
+- Compare quality to dedicated AI video platforms
+- "This actually blew my mind" moments vs "This disappointed me" honesty
+- Practical examples from real projects
+
+**Structure:**
+1. Opening: "I've been putting off writing about Canva's AI. Everyone's covered it, right? But I needed to test it for actual projects..."
+2. What Canva AI video features exist (overview)
+3. Feature-by-feature testing with real results
+4. Honest comparison: Canva AI vs dedicated tools (Runway, etc.)
+5. When Canva AI is enough, when you need something else
+6. Closing: "For most creators, this changes everything..."
+
+## Why This Works for Mara
+
+Perfect match for her expertise:
+- Accessibility focus (non-technical creators)
+- Honest approach builds trust
+- Shows the struggle AND success
+- UX design background helps explain interface
+- Can help people maximize tools they already have
+- "I need to share this" genuine enthusiasm

+
+**Source:** SEO Research for Josh & Mara warmup articles — 2026-01-10
+**Evidence:**
+- "midjourney prompts" = 1,900 monthly searches
+- KD: 35 (MEDIUM — competitive but achievable)
+- Search intent: Informational
+- Target audience: Midjourney users wanting better results, creators frustrated with inconsistent outputs, designers integrating AI into workflow
+
+## Why This Matters
+
+Expertise showcase opportunity:
+- 1,900 searches = solid volume
+- KD 35 = medium, requires quality/expertise
+- Prompt engineering = Mara's core skill
+- Can show extensive real experience
+- Establishes deep expertise, not just surface knowledge
+
+## Content Angle
+
+**Title:** "Midjourney Prompts: What I Learned After 1000+ Generations (With Examples)"
+
+**Mara's Approach:**
+- Deep dive into prompt engineering based on extensive experimentation
+- Show her actual prompt evolution
+- Include before/after refinements
+- Real Midjourney outputs illustrating each principle
+- "I learned this the hard way" honesty
+- Cover v6-specific techniques
+
+**Structure:**
+1. Opening: "I've generated over 1000 images in Midjourney. Most of them were terrible. Here's what finally clicked..."
+2. How I started (terrible prompts, random results)
+3. The breakthrough: structure matters more than creativity
+4. Prompt anatomy: what actually works
+ - Structure patterns
+ - Style keywords that work
+ - Negative prompts (critical)
+ - Parameters (v6-specific)
+5. Before/after examples (my prompt evolution)
+6. Common mistakes (I made them all)
+7. Advanced techniques (after you master basics)
+8. Closing: "Prompting is a skill. These are the patterns that work..."
+
+## Why This Works for Mara

+- Include the prompts that generated them
+- Honest about trial and error
+

+- Real prompts + real outputs = credibility
+- Help readers skip the trial-and-error phase
+- Mara's "took me three tries" honesty is key
+
+## Long-Tail Opportunities
+
+- "midjourney v6 prompts" (320 vol) — version-specific

+- "best midjourney prompts" (390 vol) — subjective but valuable
+
+## Publication Priority
+

+- KD: 34 (MEDIUM — competitive but achievable)
+- Search intent: Informational/Navigational
+- Target audience: Creators considering premium AI video tools, video editors exploring AI integration, content creators with budget for quality tools
+
+## Why This Matters
+
+High-volume premium tool:
+- 22,200 searches = very high volume

+- People want to know if expensive tool is worth it
+- Mara's honest approach perfect for cost evaluation
+
+## Content Angle
+
+**Title:** "Runway AI Video Generator: Everything You Need to Know Before You Start"
+
+**Mara's Approach:**
+- Comprehensive Runway guide with honest cost evaluation
+- Cover Gen-3 Alpha (latest model)
+- Show what different credit amounts can actually produce
+- Include practical examples from her own projects
+- Be honest about whether cost is worth it
+- Help readers decide if they need premium tier
+
+**Structure:**
+1. Opening: "Runway is expensive. Everyone knows it. But is it worth it?"
+2. What is Runway AI (overview)
+3. Gen-3 Alpha: what makes it different
+4. Pricing breakdown: what credits actually buy

+
+**Mara's Style:**
+- Comprehensive guide

+- Include cost breakdowns
+- Real examples with credit usage
+- Honest assessment of value
+- Help readers self-select
+
+## Differentiation
+
+Most Runway content:

+- Doesn't show real cost analysis
+
+Mara's angle:
+- "Here's what I actually spent and got"

+- Helps readers decide if it's for them
+- Not trying to sell, trying to inform
+
+## Strategic Value
+

+- Establishes her as serious reviewer
+- Premium tool coverage = authority signal
+- Honest cost evaluation builds trust
+- Can reference in future comparison articles
+
+## Notes
+
+- Runway is premium/expensive — honesty essential
+- Credit system confusing for beginners — simplify
+- Gen-3 Alpha is latest — cover thoroughly
+- Many readers trying to justify the cost
+- Show both success and "this wasn't worth it" examples
+- Help readers understand total cost, not just subscription
+
+## Long-Tail Win
+
+**"runway ml pricing" = 720 vol, KD 9** — ULTRA LOW!
+- Can rank easily for this
+- Include comprehensive pricing section
+- Answer "how much does runway really cost"
+
+## Publication Priority
+
+**MEDIUM PRIORITY** — High volume (22.2k) but medium KD (34). Should come after CapCut/Canva (easier wins) but establishes Mara's authority on premium tools.

+
