AI for Business: How to Use it to Multiply Your Productivity
AI for business sounds daunting, but it’s offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance efficiency, creativity, and customer engagement. Using and benefiting from AI tools can be a game-changer for entrepreneurs and online business owners. AI isn’t a magic wand that will solve all your problems. However, you can take advantage of it and be more effective as a solopreneur. Let me show you how.
AI for Business Looks
If you’re a solopreneur like me, you’ll likely start your adventure with a very small budget. This means that consistency and looks might be out of the window. Well, that’s not happening anymore, thanks to our friend AI. While you need to have all the brains and know exactly what you want to do, the fact that you can have good banners (artwork) and design for a very low budget is great.
Many might argue that you’re taking away from artists. But let me tell you: when you’re starting or growing a bit, you need your budget on point! You would never use tons of art when you start. The maximum, perhaps, would be a logo designer.
1. Enhancing Banners with DALL-E
My tool of choice for AI art is DALL-E. If you take a long look at the different pages of this platform, you’ll realize that banners are cartoonish and fresh. While I do use pictures, that’s not something I like to do often. I did in the past. However, since I can design via prompts my vision daily with DALL-E, I can offer a consistent brand to my public, which, in turn, helps me grow it.
Another advantage of using DALL-E is ChatGPT. Since they both go hand in hand, paying one gets you both. However, I found that Midjourney is better at creating realistic images. If your vibe isn’t like mine, consider exploring other AI image generators.
2. One of my Editors is AI
I use Grammarly [referral link] for editing. It helps me notice typos and weird phrases that I might write. It also helps me double-check plagiarism. This is my day-to-day editor, which I love, by the way.
However, apart from Grammarly, I choose to work with a human editor on books. Well, with my latest book. Not all my books have had the luck of having a human editor. As soon as I could afford one, I added an extra human later.
3. Brainstorming with ChatGPT
While using ChatGPT to create an article might help you save a lot of time, brainstorming is the best use you can do with it. ChatGPT can give you the best or most bland and unusable ideas. Yet, this capability of forever creating ideas for you is what we need for brainstorming.
Haven’t you ever been stuck and run out of ideas for a post? If so, ChatGPT is your friend. You need to ask it 100 ideas on a certain topic and then repeat it three more times. From all those ideas, you’ll see at least three that will catch your eye and help you generate great content.
If, however, you’re struggling with the contents of a post, you can ask ChatGPT to outline it for you. AI doesn’t know what you can say in exact terms, but it can help you by giving some order to what you could say.
4. Getting Advantage from Notion AI
Notion [affiliate link] is another tool that I adore. If you cannot afford a PA yet, Notion is your best bet! You can organize your time and maximize what you need to do. Plus, you can use Notion AI to brainstorm ideas. While it’s similar to ChatGPT, the fact that Notion AI knows what you do makes more sense to use Notion AI when organizing your tasks.
Even if you don’t use Notion AI, it is worth noting that Notion can help you massively go from disarray to hyper-organized hero.
