If you're still staring at a blank content calendar each month, you're wasting time. Worse, you're wasting decision energy. Here's how to use AI to plan marketing in under an hour, and why that's not just possible, it's essential.
Why Planning Manually Sucks Time You Don’t Have
You already wear every hat. Marketing strategist shouldn’t be one of them. Manual planning means:
Brain fog every time you open a blank Google Doc
Endless scrolling for "inspo"
Posting inconsistently or not at all
And let’s be blunt: your time is too valuable for that.
The 3-Part AI Framework I Use Every Month to Plan Marketing
This isn’t about plugging keywords into a tool and crossing your fingers. It’s about giving AI the right inputs to generate solid outputs. This is exactly how to use AI to plan marketing that’s aligned, consistent, and low-effort.
1. Reuse What Already Works
Start with what you’ve already said. Drop your past 5–10 posts into ChatGPT with this prompt:
"Analyze the tone, format, and top themes across these posts. Summarize key takeaways. Then generate a 4-week content calendar that reflects this style and audience."
You’ll get a draft calendar aligned with your voice. Not generic templates.
2. Feed ChatGPT Your Offers, Not Just Topics
Next, give ChatGPT real context:
What you sell
Who it’s for
Where your audience hangs out
What they need to believe before they buy
Then ask:
"Based on this info, what 4 types of posts should I publish each week to build trust and drive action?"
You’ll get a weekly rhythm—educational, authority-building, behind-the-scenes, and CTA posts.
3. Let AI Do the Heavy Lifting on Drafts
Once you’ve got a schedule:
Feed each topic back into ChatGPT
Ask it to write drafts in your tone
Use this prompt:
"Write a [LinkedIn, IG, or email] post on this topic. Keep it under [X] words. Use a [witty, thoughtful, blunt] tone. Format for skim
mability."
Now you’re editing—not writing from scratch.
Real-World Use Case: One Hour, 30 Days of Posts
I used this exact process last month. I had a few half-written posts, some launch info, and a theme I wanted to stick with.
ChatGPT built me a 4-week calendar, 20+ post drafts, and subject lines in under an hour. Were they all perfect? No. But 80% were usable with light editing.
That’s a win.
Don’t Outsource Strategy. Just Systemize It.
Planning isn’t just about what to post, it’s about showing up consistently without losing your voice. AI won’t magically know what matters to your audience. But it can organize, draft, and accelerate everything once you decide.
Use your brain for strategy. Use AI for structure.
SuperSmarts.ai has tools that help you build these kinds of systems. But you don’t need a new platform. You just need a smarter workflow.
