Quick tip for you..
Things I like: Working less and making more money.
Here’s a quick tip to do just that.
Keep in mind.
It’s not just about laziness — it’s about efficiency.
Why spend hours on manual tasks when there are smarter ways to get things done?
Here’s a practical guide to achieving just that, using a simple concept: process mapping.
What Is Process Mapping and Why Does It Matter?
Process mapping is all about understanding where your time goes and figuring out how to streamline your workflows.
By breaking down tasks into clear steps, you can identify inefficiencies and find opportunities to automate or delegate.
Let’s use marketing as an example.
Maybe you’re spending way too much time on it — or worse, struggling to find time for it at all.
The key is to map out every single step involved.
Example: My Marketing Workflow
Here’s what my marketing process used to look like:
- Research — Digging through forums, websites, and social media to find trending ideas and user-generated content.
- Content Ideation — Brainstorming ad campaigns, blog topics, and social media posts.
- Writing — Drafting copy for ads, emails, and posts.
- Asset Creation — Sending copy to the art team to produce visuals and graphics.
- Publishing — Posting content across multiple platforms.
- Performance Analysis — Reviewing the results and determining what worked and what didn’t.
- Repetition — Doing it all again, week after week.
Six months ago, I was doing all of this manually.
And let me tell you — it was exhausting.
The AI-Powered Upgrade
Fast forward to today, and I’ve reimagined my entire workflow using AI tools. Here’s how I’ve optimized each step:
- Research:
- I use AI to scrape forums, social media platforms, and niche websites for relevant user-generated content.
- The AI organizes this data into trending topics for my target audience.
- Content Ideation:
- AI tools analyze the research data and suggest content ideas tailored to my brand’s voice.
- I get a curated list of ideas in minutes instead of spending hours brainstorming.
- Writing:
- AI generates draft copies for ads, emails, and posts based on the ideas.
- I review and tweak these drafts instead of writing from scratch.
- Asset Creation:
- I send the drafts to my art team with one click using project management tools.
- The team uses AI design tools to create high-quality visuals faster.
- Publishing:
- AI scheduling tools automatically post the content across platforms at optimal times.
- Performance Analysis:
- AI reviews the data from campaigns and provides actionable insights in real-time.
I even made GPT bots for specific roles within my company and for marketing as a whole. More details on how you can access them here.
Results?
- More Marketing: By automating tedious tasks, my team and I can create and post more content than ever before.
- More Revenue: Consistent and optimized marketing directly translates to higher engagement and sales.
- Less Manual Work: I’ve cut down my involvement significantly, freeing up time for other priorities.
