01 — Tools

The AI Marketing Stack

Eight tools, not eighty. The goal is leverage, not tool collection.

Claude

Essential

Best for: Strategy, long-form writing, editing, analysis

My daily driver. Best reasoning of any AI tool — use it for anything requiring nuance or your brand voice.

ChatGPT

Essential

Best for: Ideation, brainstorming, structured thinking

Great for rapid-fire idea generation and outlining. Use custom instructions to keep output on-brand.

Gemini

Useful

Best for: Research, second opinions, fact-checking

Good when you want a different model's take, and strong at research-style queries.

Midjourney

Useful

Best for: Visual ideas, hero images, brand aesthetics

When you need visuals that don't look like stock photos. Learn 10 style keywords and you're dangerous.

Ahrefs

SEO

Best for: Keyword research, backlink analysis

The SEO workhorse. The free webmaster tools tier covers most solo-operator needs.

SEMrush

SEO

Best for: Competitor analysis, position tracking

Better than Ahrefs at competitor intel. Pick one of the two — you don't need both starting out.

Notion

System

Best for: Content planning, prompt libraries, swipe files

Where the content system lives: calendar, ideas backlog, prompt library, performance log.

LinkedIn

System

Best for: Primary distribution platform

Where founders and professionals actually are. One platform done well beats five done poorly.

9 Prompts That Actually Work

Copy, fill in the [brackets], paste into Claude or ChatGPT. Each one is tested in real client work.

01

Positioning Statement Builder

Positioning

I'm a [role] who helps [audience] achieve [outcome]. Here's my background: [3-5 bullet points]. Draft 3 different positioning statements — one authority-led, one outcome-led, one contrarian. For each, explain who it attracts and who it repels.

02

Content Pillar Generator

Positioning

Based on this positioning statement: [statement]. Generate 5 content pillars I can post about for the next 6 months. For each pillar: the core belief behind it, 3 example post angles, and the audience pain point it addresses.

03

Week of Content From One Insight

Ideation

Here's an insight from my work this week: [insight]. Turn this into 5 different LinkedIn posts: 1) a personal story, 2) a how-to framework, 3) a contrarian take, 4) a mistake-and-lesson post, 5) a question post that invites discussion. Keep my voice: [2-3 adjectives].

04

Audience Pain Point Miner

Ideation

My audience is [audience description]. List 15 specific, painful problems they face related to [topic]. For each: how it actually feels day-to-day, what they've probably already tried, and a content angle that speaks to it without being generic.

05

Draft With My Voice

Writing

Write a first draft about [topic] using this outline: [outline]. Voice rules: short sentences, no jargon, no 'in today's fast-paced world' openings, specific examples over abstractions. Here are 2 examples of my writing to match: [paste samples].

06

The De-AI-ifier

Editing

Edit this draft to sound less AI-generated: [draft]. Remove: hedge words, symmetric sentence structures, 'delve', 'leverage', em-dash overuse, generic conclusions. Add: one specific number or example per section. Keep my core argument untouched.

07

1 Blog Post → 10 Pieces

Repurposing

Here's my blog post: [paste]. Repurpose into: 5 standalone LinkedIn posts (different angles, not summaries), 1 newsletter edition with a personal intro, 3 tweet-length one-liners. Each piece must work without reading the original.

08

Search-Intent Outline

SEO

I want to rank for '[keyword]'. What is the searcher actually trying to do? Based on that intent, outline a post: H2s that answer the real question fast, sections competitors are missing, and FAQ items targeting 'People Also Ask'. No filler sections.

09

Content Performance Review

Analysis

Here are my last 10 posts with engagement numbers: [data]. Identify: patterns in my top 3 performers (topic, format, hook style), what my bottom 3 have in common, and 3 specific experiments to run next month based on this.

03 — Templates

Content Templates

The structures behind consistent output. Adapt the rhythm to your schedule.

Blog Post Structure

The 2,500-word structure I use for every post

  1. 1Intro (100–200 words): hook → stakes → what you'll learn
  2. 23–5 main sections, 200–400 words each, H2 headers
  3. 3Actionable framework: step-by-step with real examples
  4. 4Case study or example (300–500 words)
  5. 5Closing: recap + one CTA

Content Calendar System

The weekly rhythm that makes consistency automatic

  1. 1Monday: educational post (framework or how-to)
  2. 2Wednesday: story post (lesson from real work)
  3. 3Friday: opinion post (take a position)
  4. 4Sunday: 30-min batch session — draft next week with AI
  5. 5Monthly: review numbers, double down on what worked

Case Study Format

Turn client wins into proof that sells

  1. 1Title: '[Client] went from [before] to [after]'
  2. 2Background: who, the challenge, why it mattered
  3. 3Strategy: what we did (3 key tactics)
  4. 4Results: primary metric + secondary wins + client quote
  5. 5Lessons: what worked, why, how to apply it
