5 marketing tasks AI can do for you this week

Many business owners tell me the same thing: “I know I should be using AI, but I don’t know where to start.” The good news is that you don’t need to be good with technology. If you can send a text message, you can use AI.

Open ChatGPT or Claude (both have free versions), and try these five tasks this week. I included the exact words to type. Change the parts in brackets to match your business.

1. Plan a month of social media posts

Coming up with ideas is often the hardest part. Let AI give you a starting list, then pick the ones that sound like you.

I own a [bakery] in [Miami]. My customers are [families and office workers]. Give me 12 ideas for Instagram posts for next month. Mix tips, behind the scenes, and offers.

2. Write captions in your own voice

Paste two or three captions you wrote before and ask AI to copy your style. This way your posts still sound like you, not like a robot.

Here are 3 captions I wrote: [paste them]. Write a caption in the same style for a post about [our new weekend special]. Keep it short and add 5 hashtags.

3. Answer reviews and messages faster

Replying to every review helps you on Google, but it takes time. AI can write a kind, professional reply in seconds. Always read it before you post it.

A customer left this review: [paste the review]. Write a short, warm reply from the owner. Thank them by name and invite them back.

4. Turn one idea into an email

Email is still one of the best ways to bring customers back. If you already wrote a post, ask AI to turn it into a short email for your list.

Turn this post into a short email for my customers: [paste the post]. Give me 3 subject lines and end with a clear button text.

5. Get ad ideas before you spend money

Before you pay for ads, use AI to think through who you are trying to reach and what to say to them. You will spend your ad money on better ideas.

I want to run a Facebook and Instagram ad for [my service]. Who is my ideal customer? Give me 3 ad headlines and 3 short ad texts for them.

Three simple rules

• Give details. The more AI knows about your business, the better the answer.
• Ask for changes. If you don’t like the answer, say “make it shorter” or “make it more fun.”
• Check before you post. AI can make mistakes, especially with prices, dates and facts.

Start with one task this week. These five alone can save you hours every month, and that is time you can spend with your customers or your family.

If you want me to show you step by step, I teach this in my AI Marketing Classes, made for busy business owners. Join the waitlist and I’ll let you know when the next class opens.
