and how to turn visitors and social followers into Email Subscribers
How to use this guide and who is this guide for?
Your Email list is still the only digital asset. Likes, shares, recognition—these are great! But they are NOT real assets. Your FB page belongs to FB. Your YouTube channel belongs to YouTube. Does everyone remember Myspace? What we see (or saw?) with TikTok is a great reminder!
The channel owns it. They can change the rules in a moment – without asking you. You are not in control of social channels. Unlike your email list. You are in control of your email list. YOU are the owner of your email list. Someone gave permission to contact. Trusted you.
This guide will teach you how to generate an email list using AI from your articles and social media. But keep in mind that social channels are not a real asset. Until you convert a visitor into an email subscriber, you do not have a real asset. Your aim, therefore, is to convert visitors into email subscribers.
At the time of writing this, AI is new. But using videos in your marketing is still untapped. The next guide will show you exactly how. But first, in this guide, you will learn how to build a presence in social media with AI. The result is that you automatically generate lots of content, build trust and authority—which you need for sales—and build your email list.
IMPORTANT: Find where your target audience is already, and use those social media channels. DO NOT increase the noise just because you can post. Instead, focus. Especially in the beginning, the focus is everything.

I want to be able to copy-paste the prompt to midjourney. Write the prompt in this format: “/imagine prompt:“; start the prompt with “/imagine prompt:” and end the prompt with ” –ar 16:9″ to get the proper aspect ratio.
TIP: I recommend Canva. Currently, I recommend Canva for dimensions so you don’t need to keep an eye on every social channel pixel size and other requirements. If you want to use your creativity, try DALEE, midjourney, or LeonardoAI; just pay attention to the image ratios. At the end of this article, you will find a downloadable list of the software I use and recommend so you can automate this process.
How to create an AI Content Machine
Putting the components together and folder management so later you can upload easily (and automate your workflow):
- Create a Google Drive or Dropbox folder for the content you have just created. If you have already created it, use it.
- Upload content separate folder.
- Create the images for the article. Upload images in a separate folder.
- Add images to each section in the article.
- Create image posts for all social channels separately.
TIP: It’s very useful when you upload your posts, and schedule, and when you automate. Don’t overlook this step!
Scheduling
Schedule the post and all the social messages.
Use a tool to automate and schedule publishing.
I use Publer; simply choose channels and schedule to publish, date and time.
Later it might change in the future, so you will find the tools you need below.
How to turn visitors into Email Subscribers – Your Opt-in System
Here is thre most important step: How to turn visitors into Email Subscribers, in other words, Your Opt-in System. At the end of your article, add a downloadable LeadMagnet in exchange for an email address. You can format it as a simple PDF. Even better, format it as a Notion template so later you can easily update it.
Here is my Notion template that you can download, and see how to create a Lead MAggnet in action that you can easily keep up-to-date:

Below this article, click the button and download the “AI Content Machine Sheet Template”, which includes all social channels, each on a separate tab. Use this Sheet to collect all your posts and images and schedule. (YES, this is an example you can see it in action :))

Automation
As a next step, you can use Automation. I use Zapier for Automation (which you can find in below as well). You can connect all the components, schedule them, and run the entire AI Content Machine automatically.
I also included a tools list too, in downloadable format. It includes all the tools I currently use and recommend. There are the exact tools you need to run this AI Content Machine. Since MANY things will change in the near future, the tools will be updated regularly and it is worth staying on my email list. (YES, give them a reason to sign up and stay on your email list, just this example :)).
What are the Next Steps?
Next, I will outline the exact steps to generate a video with AI.
- How to clone your voice so you can use your own voice in the video without recording;
- How to generate video from a script so you can generate an entire video without showing your face;
- How to give VALUE with the video you generate;
In short: how to generate a video with AI without the significant expenses, huge time, and technical expertise – while keeping your authenticity and giving value.
You can add your own YouTube video link to the article, building trust and authority. Alternatively, you can include a video made by others, including copyrights, if it’s not your own video.
The future of AI? I really don’t know. Nobody knows. But I’m pretty sure the next few years will be all about generating videos. It will dominate search results.
