The 5-step AI marketing framework to sell anything

(Without overthinking it)

You don’t need a complex funnel, 17 tools, or a team of 5 to start selling. You need 3 things: a problem worth solving, a solution that works, and content that makes that solution obvious.

Here’s how to combine timeless marketing strategy with modern AI tools to go from idea to sales—faster.

Step 1: Find a problem

Every great offer starts with a problem. Either:

• Something painful people want to stop

• Or something unfulfilled they want to move closer to

This is where AI can help you uncover patterns in your audience’s behavior, search trends, or social media posts.

AI prompt:

Act as a market researcher. Based on my target audience—[describe your audience]—analyze common pain points or unmet desires they have around [topic or category]. Give me a list of 10 specific problems they talk about frequently online, in reviews, forums, or comments.

Step 2: Solve the problem

You don’t need to invent a cure for cancer. You need to solve one problem well—ideally one you’ve already solved for yourself.

Use AI to help organize your existing knowledge, reframe it for others, and package it as a useful product or service.

AI prompt:

Act as a product strategist. I want to turn my personal experience solving [specific problem] into a digital product, tool, or service for [target audience]. Help me brainstorm 3 formats (e.g., guide, workshop, template) and outline what each would include to solve the problem step by step.
