I Built A Business With AI In 24 Hours
How to Build a Business Using AI Tools
Identifying What to Sell
- The first step in starting a business is determining what to sell, focusing on demand rather than personal ideas.
- Two methods for identifying demand: talking to people or using data from tools like Exploding Topics, which analyzes search traffic and social media trends.
Framework for Filtering Ideas
- Introduces the RRT test (Resist, Raise, Technology) as a framework for evaluating business ideas:
- Resist: Does the business resist economic downturns?
- Raise: Can prices be increased without losing customers?
- Technology: Can technology improve margins or output?
Choosing a Product
- Selected product: hands-free dog leash due to its rising popularity and significant sales volume.
- Confirms that pet spending remains strong even during recessions, making it a viable market.
Understanding Your Target Audience
- Emphasizes the importance of defining an "avatar"—a specific customer profile—to tailor marketing efforts effectively.
- Differentiates between general dog owners and specific demographics (e.g., service dog owners vs. teenagers).
Researching Customer Needs

- Perplexity: Best for research with cited sources.

Creating an Effective Landing Page

Key Elements of High-Converting Landing Pages

- Clear messaging about what the company does is essential; avoid complex jargon.
- Incorporate social proof early on through reviews or testimonials.
Branding Strategy
- Defines branding as how customers feel when they see your product before reading anything.
- Introduces a branding framework involving:
- Villain: The problem being solved (e.g., poor-quality leashes).
- Victim: The customer's state before finding your solution (e.g., frustrated dog owners).
- Vow: The promise of improvement after using your product.
Developing Brand Identity
- Chooses "Coast Dog Leashes" as brand name reflecting lifestyle aspirations.
- Uses ChatGPT and Nano Banana Pro for logo design through prompt engineering.
Marketing Copy Essentials

Writing Compelling Copy
- Outlines three rules:
- Write conversationally using avatar's language.
- Focus on solving pain points rather than just describing products.
- Ensure clarity in messaging; avoid confusion at all costs.
