Case Overview & Background

Sean, a digital marketer, sells LinkedIn post packages to busy executives: four posts for $200, eight posts plus an engagement strategy for $400, and a custom tier from $800. Within a month he had four clients on the $400 tier. By month two he had six recurring clients and was close to $3,000 a month.

How AI Is Used

Clients submit updates through a Google Form. ChatGPT drafts posts from detailed prompts tuned to each client's voice, then Sean edits, fact-checks, and schedules them.

Step-by-Step Process

Step 01Voice interview

A 30-minute call to capture each client's tone and stories.

Step 02Collect updates

Clients send news through a Google Form.

Step 03Draft with ChatGPT

Prompts tailored to each client.

Step 04Edit, fact-check, schedule

Human review before scheduling in tools such as Buffer.

Customer Acquisition & Distribution

LinkedIn freelancer groups, personal contacts, and two weeks of free test posts.

Limitations, Risks & Failure Modes

What may not apply to you, and what could go wrong:

  • ChatGPT sometimes invented statistics and names
  • Some clients were wary of AI and privacy; he used a basic NDA
  • Keeping each client's tone distinct takes careful editing

Key Takeaways

  • The middle package was the most popular
  • Fact-checking every AI draft is part of the service
  • Keep private client details out of prompts
