AI Tools for Solopreneurs You Don't Know About

No ChatGPT, Canva, or any of the others you are (obviously) familiar with.

The Problem is People

So here's our biggest problem: people. No, actually, I love people. People are great. But working with them can be difficult. Have you ever been bored by endless Zoom calls, coordinating tasks with coworkers, or waiting for your partner to do their part?

If the answer to at least one of the questions is “Yes,” then maybe you should try solopreneurship. In this format, you won't be dependent on others; you'll have control, and, unlike simple freelancers, you'll be able to build something meaningful.

How do you achieve this? Let's figure it out together.

Should You Become a Solopreneur?

That's how the AI sees the solopreneur. Yes, he is his own boss. That's why he put the pencils in the coffee cup.

Before deciding to do something, it’s important to determine whether it makes sense and has real prospects. After all, there are always losers in the race for trends. The situation is particularly complicated in the case of solopreneurship and AI. It's a new field, so we don't have enough data to build a big picture. However, we do have some things in place.

Accenture says AI can boost business productivity by up to 40% in the near future. With the help of machine learning, it's getting easier and easier to launch a startup without an investment in a team. Analysts highlight several ways AI will make a splash in the world of individual entrepreneurs:

• Task Automation

• Data Analysis

• Marketing Optimization

• Personalized Customer Experiences

• AI-driven Product Development

The World Economic Forum provides additional data. In a couple of years, the organization estimated that automation will displace 75 million jobs by 2022. And that's sad... At the same time, AI will create another 133 million new roles.

And yes, a significant portion of them will be entrepreneurial.

So, on paper, everything works fine. We have the solopreneurship trend, cool AI tools, and prospects for new projects. But the smart guys have already asked the question: If everything is fine in theory, what is it in practice? And I have an answer.

From Being Fired from Everywhere to $87k/mo

Meet Marc Lou. The guy was fired from everywhere, so he hired himself. (No, I don't mean to offend him; I'm just quoting his Instagram description.) Marc is the ultimatum for today's newsletter. There are several reasons for this.

Launched his first solopreneur-format startup less than a year ago. In August 2023, Mark was a computer science graduate who built 16 (not very successful) products in two years. In the process, Mark realized that he lacked templates for developing new projects.

So, he created a platform to help other entrepreneurs build their startups “in days, not months.” He founded ShipFast and launched it on Product Hunt in one week.

In the first 48 hours, Mark had already made $6,000.

If you want an even more ultimatum example, we have a post for you. I'm talking about Pieter Levels, who inspired Mark to become a solopreneur:

Mark relies solely on himself for his work. Using Twitter (I'll never get used to calling him “X”) and Reddit, he promotes his product with the help of an AI solopreneur automating many tasks, and popular platforms like Product Hunt hosting him and allowing him to monetize ideas quickly.

In five months, with the help of the startup, Mark reached $50k in revenue. This is one of the fastest-growing independent projects I've followed. Mark is now making $87.5k/mo (that's Instagram data; the site says $68.2k/mo, which is just as cool) and running 19+ projects in parallel.

He also has an awesome newsletter for solopreneurs.

As you can see, reality is quite consistent with the theory. What remains to be understood is how to apply the experience of the case to ourselves and what tools we will need for this.

Everything is not easy with the first, but we will close the second point now.

Creators’ AI could be a valuable gift for your friend, colleague, or family member. Gifting books is bright, but giving an AI newsletter is a superb move 😎

AI Toolset for Your Solopreneurship

I could inundate you with obvious tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, Canva, and others here, but I won't. Instead, I will suggest pushing back on a few areas where AI is good at automating.

That way, we'll have a valuable toolkit suitable for various startups. Let's go.

Content Creation Tools

Creating content can be tedious, especially when you have multiple social networks to manage, analytics to keep track of, and an entire company to run.

Key Benefit:

Creativity and multitasking. Not all entrepreneurs are creative individuals. So what? Should you give up a cool idea for a business? Well, no. Outsource the work of designers and copywriters to a good model.
