Friday Deep Dive: Stop Wasting Time—Let AI Do the Work

Alec’s Actionable AI Marketing Hacks for Beginners

It’s hard to get started. Old habits die hard.

But you need more time back. Your inbox is a disaster. Your projects are piling up. And now, you’re supposed to learn AI too?

"F*** , Alec. I don’t have time for this."

I hear you.

My students, coworkers, and clients can feel the same way.

But here’s the thing—AI can help with what you hate most.

Plus I’m sending you a hug.

I use Fathom to save 4–8 hours a week by skipping meetings, leaving early, or sending someone else.

I get 547 emails a day (yes, I counted). ChatGPT + Zapier = automated inbox sanity.

But if you’re just starting out, here are eight AI hacks to test and see what sticks.

1. Get the Right ChatGPT Setup 😌

1. Load a prompt framework into 3-5 folders (Ads, Email, Content, SOP’s, Etc)

2. Get your account settings correct

4. Use the 6 Steps to Better Prompts Framework to optimize
