Small business owners don't need a big AI strategy. They need a few practical wins. Here's a gentle 30-day plan.
Week 1: Writing
Use AI for emails, social captions and product descriptions. Save your best prompts. Goal: save 2 hours this week.
Week 2: Customer communication
Create reply templates for common questions, review responses and an FAQ page. Always personalise before sending.
Week 3: Marketing
Plan a month of social content, write a newsletter and create simple images or graphics. Try one new channel.
Week 4: Operations
Use AI to write a process document, analyse a spreadsheet of sales or expenses, and plan next month's priorities.
Day 30: Review
- Which tasks saved the most time?
- Where did AI need too much correction?
- Which prompts will you keep using?
Ground rules
- Don't paste customer personal data or financial details into public tools.
- Check facts, prices and promises before publishing.
- Keep your voice; customers buy from people.
