About TechStories

My name is Paul Mah, and this is the site where I publish my daily tech stories. I generally write about the following topics:
Sometimes, I also review the occasional gadget, talk about the art of writing or ink down my personal musings.
Everything I post here is free, and I do plan to keep it that way. You can sign up for my newsletter digest if you don't want to miss anything.
If you are curious about who I am, I talk more about what I do and how I end up writing here.
What's your readership?
Today, my content generates millions of impressions on LinkedIn a year with an average of over 200 engagements per post (365-day average).
My newsletter currently goes out to 2,000 inboxes every week with an open rate of 50% (90-day). Readers sign up via double-opt-in and are typically a professional or expert in a technical field, or an executive.
My focus is entirely on quality content and highly engaged readership, not quantity. This means I'm not into rehashing content or chasing viral trends.
Is your content AI generated?
Do I use AI to write the posts here? It's a fair question, since I do produce a fair amount of content - and that's on top of the writing I do for my day job.
The short answer is no, nothing you see here is written by AI. And the reason is simple: I respect your time, and I put in the effort to write concise, valuable content that's crafted to be highly readable.

But how is it possible that I consistently put out so many insights? Writing is thinking, as they say. Even I am sometimes surprised by what unfolds from a mere seed of an idea and a blank page.
When I don't have meaningful insights on a particular topic, I move on to explore something else instead. Naturally, I do invest my own time to meet with experts, read extensively, and attend events and conferences to learn more.
It's fair to say that most of my knowledge and ideas originate from industry experts. I'm simply the conduit for sharing their wisdom in an accessible way.
Disclosures
While I don't employ AI to produce my stories wholesale, I do use it extensively to help me in my craft. Consider the ubiquitous spellchecker found in every writing application today. I utilise AI in much the same way to refine word choice, enhance readability, and catch errors.
To keep this sustainable for the long term, I'm exploring strategic brand collaborations, likely through content partnerships. You can be confident that I will never endorse anything I don't personally believe in.
That's all for now. You can typically find me on LinkedIn.
