🚀 AI-Fueled Growth: Monday Edition

This Week’s Growth Theme:

Know your audience. Tweak your message. Convert better.

Sometimes your copy is solid.
Your offer’s great.
But something’s still off.

Chances are, you’re just aiming at the wrong audience—or speaking the right words to the wrong people.

This week, we’re using AI to help you find your real audience, tighten your messaging, and turn flops into winners.

Let’s dig in 👇

🎯 Step 1: Find your audience using what you already wrote

You don’t need to guess who you’re speaking to—your existing content already holds the clues.

🧠 Prompt: “Who is this for?”

“Analyze my [LinkedIn posts / blog / website copy]. Who is most likely engaging with this? What 3 personality traits, interests, or pain points do they share?”

This is exactly what I did using Grok to scan social posts—and it completely reshaped my messaging.

We show how to extract audience traits from your content and feed them into your strategy.

💬 Bonus Prompt: Don’t have much content yet?

Use this instead:

“I help [describe your offer]. Based on that, who is my likely audience? What traits, values, or motivations do they have?”

You’ll get a solid starting point—and probably some angles you hadn’t thought of.

✍️ Step 2: Write for the person, not the crowd

Now that you know who is listening, stop writing like you’re shouting into the void.
Use those audience traits to shape hooks and headlines that hit.

🧠 Prompt: “Give me 5 hooks that hit”

“Write 5 ad headlines for [audience trait] who are struggling with [pain point]. Make them short, bold, and curiosity-driven.”

Need a different tone?

Add: “Make them feel like a punchy LinkedIn post.”
Or: “Make it feel like I’m talking to a smart friend.”

🔍 Bonus Prompt: What’s working right now?

You can also feed AI your best-performing content and ask:

“Why do you think this post performed well? What emotional tone, angle, or audience trait is at play?”

Let AI show you the psychology behind the success—so you can repeat it.

🛠️ Step 3: Fix a flop before you toss it

Sometimes a single tweak can save an underperforming ad or post.
But first, figure out what went wrong.

🧠 Prompt: “Fix this ad”

“Here’s my ad: [paste it]. Who does this sound like it’s written for? Rewrite it for a sharper audience match and clearer benefit.”
