Don't buy growth hacking classes. Save your money. Do this instead.

Give AI a try.

Love it or hate it, AI is here.

And regardless of the dangers the AI movement may pose to society, it is a tool that can assist your social media content creation and optimization.

Since we only have a few minutes, here's a quick tutorial with the most basic and useful use case for social media:

1. Go to ChatGPT and sign up for a free account: https://chat.openai.com/
2. Copy your latest LinkedIn post text (or any other social platform you use) and type in the 'Send a message' box: "Write a more engaging version of this LinkedIn post", then paste the text within quotes.
3. ChatGPT will rewrite your post. Compare it with your original post and if it gives you any new ideas, then use them.

This is 'ChatGPT 101'. You can also ask ChatGPT to find optimized hashtags, create multiple first-line hooks you can choose from, make lines funnier (though ChatGPT struggles with comedy sometimes), and even help come up with ideas of what trending topics you should write about.

Warning: don't overuse it.

AI text often feels like AI text, and that's terrible for building real fandom around your content.

This should help generate ideas, rough drafts, and optimization information.

Some other AI apps that may help optimize your social media:

1. Midjourney for AI image generation (every picture for 'Grow 1%' has been Midjourney-created.
2. Looka for AI logo and branding generation.
3. AutoPod for automatic podcast editing and cutdowns for socials.
4. Simplified for all-in-one social media content creation and posting.
5. Phrasee for social marketing intelligence.

If you want AI help for any social media problem, there's likely a solution. Just Google it (or ask ChatGPT). It's a hot market and devs are building fast.

Warning: don't give up too much data or access without doing your diligence. Make sure it's a trusted company before you link your Google account or provide access to 'All photos' on your phone.

For today's content, pop your post into ChatGPT and see if it generates any ideas. One great hook or hashtag idea will make it well worth the 30 seconds of additional work!

That took 2 minutes. You have 8 minutes left. Do this and grow 1% right now!
