You’re receiving this because you’re cute and you signed up for it on my website. Sorry for the wait, I hope you still want to hear from us 😬

IndieAI #001: AI and Marketing

I don’t know about you, but marketing doesn’t come naturally to me.

That sucks. A real obstacle to getting filthy rich (or, at least, finding some people who may appreciate my art 😥)

That’s why I’m putting much hope into stealing proven ideas and getting some help from smart robots 😎

Come along with me!

🛠️ AI Tools

• Supermeme: AI text-to-meme app. Check out this one I made about the IndieAI directory.

• TweetHunter: Grow and monetize your Twitter audience with the help of AI.

• FlowGPT: Discover trending prompts for marketing, business, and more.

💭 Proven Ideas

• Use ChatGPT to streamline your marketing. Using the right prompts, you can:

  • generate content ideas;

  • create a whole marketing campaign, and much more.

• Create an AI tool and use it as side-project marketing.

  • Glasp, a social web highlighter and note-taking app, built YouTube Summarizer on top of ChatGPT.

  • Sizzy, a browser for web developers, launched showGPT to capitalize on the AI trends.

🏃🏻 Homework

You thought you would just binge on my content and get out that easily? No way! You’ll need to do something. Your homework 👇

• Choose one AI tool and take a tiny action to market your business or yourself. Do it NOW or at least put it on your to-do list NOW.

Tell me how it went by answering this email or DM me on Twitter.
