Use presets
A Generation Preset is a reusable set of choices about how your articles are written and what's switched on — voice, length, which optional blocks appear, the post status, and SEO automation. Every plan uses one preset.
You don't have to set any of this up: TMN ships with a sensible default preset, and most people use it as-is. Create or edit a preset only when you want a specific voice or output.
What a preset controls
The settings are grouped — you'll rarely touch most of them:
Voice & style — point of view, plus language, tone, reading level, and expertise level.
Length & structure — article length, layout, table of contents, and per-format length overrides.
Commercial writing — how assertive recommendations are, and pros/cons style.
Publishing — the post status generated articles arrive with.
Content Egg & media — toggles for price-comparison blocks, YouTube video embeds, CTA button labels, and the featured-image source — an AI-generated image, a stock photo, a product image, or letting the AI decide.
Engagement — optional generated reader comments. See Reader comments.
SEO automation — generate meta title, meta description, tags, and schema. See SEO titles & meta descriptions.
Safety — hard constraints the writing must follow.
Voice inherits from your plan. Language, Tone, Reading level, and Expertise default to inherit from plan — you normally set these once in the new-plan wizard (Basics), and the preset follows. Override them in the preset only if you want this preset to differ.
The few worth changing
Post status — the important one. Publish (default) makes articles go live immediately; draft or pending hold them for review. (A future target publish date overrides this and creates the post as Scheduled — see Generate & publish.)
Article length — overall depth, with per-format overrides if you want (for example, longer reviews).
Language / Tone / Point of view — the article language and writing voice (language and tone inherit from the plan unless you override them here).
Optional blocks — turn price comparison, YouTube video embeds, reader comments, or SEO meta on or off. YouTube embeds require the YouTube module enabled in Content Egg.
Featured image — choose where each article's image comes from:
AI decides (default) — a stock photo for real-world subjects (food, products, places), or a unique AI-generated image for abstract topics.
AI-generated image — always creates an original image from the article topic. Set the aspect ratio (wide or square) and a style (realistic photo, illustration, or 3D render), and optionally add your own image rules.
Stock photo — searches your active Pixabay / Pexels / Unsplash modules, lets the AI pick the best fit, and avoids repeats across a plan. Enable at least one in Content Egg — all three for the most variety.
Hybrid — a product image for commercial articles, a stock photo for informational ones.
Content Egg product image — the first product's image.
For sharper AI-generated images, use your own OpenAI key.
CTA button labels — generate contextual labels for Content Egg buttons (for example, "Buy on Amazon"). This is recommended for non-English languages. Disable it to use Content Egg's default button labels.
Hard constraints — guardrails the AI must respect (e.g. conservative affiliate claims, no pricing promises) plus your own custom rules.
Override for a single article
A preset applies to a whole plan, but any one article can use a different one: open the article's drawer and set Writing preset (it defaults to Inherit from plan). See Edit your Topic Map.
Create and reuse
Create: in the admin sidebar, open Too Much Niche → Generation Presets and click + New preset.
Set a default: mark a preset as the default (it shows a Default badge), and new plans use it automatically.
