🤫 5 AI Marketing Hacks That Actually Work

Most "AI marketing hacks" online are hype dressed up as workflows. And they produce pure slop.

What I'm sharing with you in this email is different. These are real world AI marketing workflows I've used to get results for clients and my own projects.

All of these workflows run inside my VS Code setup with Claude Code + Codex. I also use Blotato for social media automation.

Total spend: Under $150 per month.

👉 ​Full Breakdown of my AI Marketing Hacks​

1. Vibe Coding Landing Pages

I built a 'Web Designer Skill' holding my typography, colors, and brand rules, and Claude Code uses it like an SOP. My outputs so far:

• A Claude Code Skills Stack digital product that's made me over $4,000
• A Google Ads landing page for a client that's increased conversion rates & call volume
• Various other landing pages & digital products I'm testing

2. Repurposing YouTube Videos into SEO Blog Posts

I built an "SEO Blog Post Writer Skill" that holds years of SEO knowledge in one markdown file. I drop a YouTube URL, target keyword, and my skill does the rest:

• Scrapes the video transcript and runs competitive research
• Pulls screenshots straight from the YouTube video and uploads them to WordPress
• Automatically adds internal links pulling from my XML Sitemap
• Validates external links and ships a draft to WordPress in one shot

3. Social Media Automation Inside Claude Code

Two pieces make this work. The Google Workspace CLI lets Claude Code pull videos from a Drive folder and read transcripts. And Blotato is the API middleman that handles every social platform.

• Connect Blotato to Claude Code via MCP
• Schedule posts across all social media platforms from one chat
• I booked my entire content calendar through June in a single session

4. Scraping LinkedIn Profiles With Apify

Pick any LinkedIn creator whose engagement you respect. Hand the profile URL plus an Apify scraper to Claude Code and ask for the last 100 posts scored by engagement.

• CSV with post URL, type, likes, comments, shares, and full text
• Then ask Claude Code which hooks worked, where video beat text, and what to copy or kill
• Same play works on TikTok, Google Maps reviews, and YouTube transcripts

5. Generating Images With Codex & APIs

YouTube thumbnails used to mean Canva or paying a designer. Now my "Thumbnail Designer Skill" uses GPT Image 2 and ships high-quality thumbnails in minutes.

• Two paths: Codex with GPT Image 2 or Claude Code with OpenRouter via API
• Reference assets are the unlock. I keep folders of headshots and brand logos inside my skills directory
• When I prompt "use main headshot right" and the "Claude Code icon" the model loads the real files from my workspace
