Hey everyone – if you’re new to marketing or just starting to explore AI, you’ve probably seen a flood of tools promising to “automate everything.” It can feel overwhelming fast.
I’ve been testing out a bunch of AI tools for marketing lately, and wanted to share the ones that are actually helpful without needing a tech degree to use.
Here’s a simple breakdown by task:
Writing Content (Emails, Ads, Social Posts):
Great for writing quick ideas, headlines, or short posts. Just type what you want, and it gives you options.
Super flexible. You can ask it to help write emails, blogs, or product descriptions. Great if you’re stuck or need a rough draft.
More polished tool made for marketers. It’s paid, but good for teams who want more structured output.
Email Marketing:
Classic tool, now with some AI features. Helps you send emails, create simple automation, and write better subject lines.
- Brevo (formerly Sendinblue)
Easy to use for beginners. You can set up automated email flows (like welcome emails) without much setup.
Design & Ads:
Super beginner-friendly. Their new AI tools can help you create designs, logos, and even videos quickly.
If you run Facebook or Google ads, this tool helps generate ad images and copy based on your product.
Tracking & Smart Suggestions:
If you’re writing blog content, this helps you figure out what keywords to include so more people can find you on Google.
- HubSpot (Free Plan)
Suitable for beginners who want to track leads, send emails, and use AI to help improve campaigns as you go.
Simple Automations:
Think of it like a connector. You can set it up to do things like: “When someone fills out a form, automatically send a welcome email.” No coding needed.
If you’re organizing content or planning campaigns, this helps brainstorm, write, and organize everything in one place.
If you’re just starting out, my advice is:
-
Pick one area to automate first (like email or social posts).
-
Start with free tools or free trials.
-
Don’t worry about getting it perfect, just test and learn.
These tools won’t replace real strategy or creativity, but they’ll save you time and help you move faster.
Anyone else have beginner-friendly AI tools they like? Would love to hear your go-tos.
