Today’s syllabus to become an AI marketer includes:
Tools that helped me cross 400,000+ followers on Instagram
Top 20 AI tools of 2023 (rank: 11 to 15)
🚀 Start Here!
Airtable - for managing all my research + content ideas
Airtable is like excel but on steroids.
I’ve been using this tool for 4 years as a database for all my research.
I use it to manage all my content ideas and my posting schedule for all platforms
This tool has a lot of automations that can be used to enhanced productivity. For example: if there’s a sponsored post, I get an email 1 week before so I don’t miss my deadlines.
Here’s a snapshot of what it looks like

ManyChat - for Instagram Automation
This has been the most useful tool for me in 2023 beside ChatGPT
Basically, when I ask people to comment a keyword on a Reel, this tool automatically sends the link via. Instantly!!
This has helped me increase engagement on Instagram, growth of my newsletter and YouTube subscribers.

ChatGPT Plus - for a whole bunch of things
I’ve built a custom GPT to act as a persona and tell me about problems. This helps me come up with new content ideas
I have another GPT which ranks my hooks to help me go viral more often. I recently shared a tutorial (with prompt) on how I built that GPT
Another commonly used GPT helps me prioritize content ideas based on my content strategy
And there’s one which summarizes what a tool can do and who is it useful to help me with my research

And there are some more obvious tools
Canva for my carousels post designs and Reel covers
Capcut for video editing for Reels
pfpmaker for my profile picture
boost.social for my story highlight covers
These are the only tools I use which have helped me grow my Instagram to 400,000 in about 2 years. Nothing crazy, just keeping it simple. So you don’t really need much a ton of apps.
I just have 2 simple principle for creating content and growing an audience:
1. Create content that is either share worthy or save worthy
2. Create content that feels natural so it doesn’t seem like work at all
And I know it works because beside my main account, I’ve grown Zapier’s TikTok from 2k to 50k, my new channel @websitesign.ai has grown to 11k followers on IG in less than 3 months
PS: There are some other tools which I am using for my YouTube but I will save that post for later once I hit a big milestone on YouTube and know those tools work.
Now, time for top 20 tools of the year 2023. There’s a couple of ties because the tools just couldn’t be excluded.
Decktopus - This is an underrated AI tool for presentations.
CopyAI - CopyAI really stepped up their game in 2023. They moved from AI copy writing to full on AI automation tool. Basically, it can imagine if asking ChatGPT to do multiple things for you as a workflow. Fun fact: I interviewed the Co-Founder of CopyAI in 2020. They were one of the first companies to use OpenAI’s API to build an AI app (before creating content as digitalSamaritan, I had a failed venture trying to build podcast)
Prompt Genie - This is the tool for anyone who hates getting generic results from chatGPT. This tool generates SUPER prompts on any topic for incredible chatGPT results
Veed - Literally the top tier AI video editing tool. You can create videos with AI avatar, you can create videos using a text prompt, uses AI to correct your eyes so you’re always looking at the camera and automatically removes filler words in the video. Like all the major AI features
Submagic - Best AI app for fancy captions. There are different styles like the Hormozi style captions where there’s word at a time, different colors and emoji 🙌
That’s all for today. Next 5 will be revealed in the next time 👀
Merry Christmas! 🎄
