Running a small business means wearing every hat — marketing included. And lately, every business owner I talk to is asking the same question: where does AI actually fit in the daily work, beyond the hype?
I just published a book that answers it. The AI Marketing Engine: Practical Automations, Agents, and Systems for Small Businesses is now available on Kindle, and Kindle Unlimited members can read it free.
This is a hands-on guide for business owners — retailers, online sellers, service providers, and small B2B teams. The premise is simple: AI becomes useful when it helps a small business solve a real, recurring problem. The book shows you how to turn scattered marketing work into clear, repeatable systems.
Across sixteen chapters, you’ll learn how to:
Pick a worthwhile first AI project instead of chasing shiny tools
Choose between an AI assistant, a fixed automation, and an agent
Build an inquiry-to-draft workflow with review, failure handling, and duplicate protection
Create better campaigns, improve product information, and plan thoughtful follow-up
Design a bounded customer-support agent — and test its answers before trusting it
The book also includes three complete workflow specifications, twelve reusable prompts, thirty evaluation cases, owner worksheets, and a ninety-day implementation plan, plus practical guidance on comparing software and measuring whether a system earns its place.
If you’ve been curious about AI but want something practical — not predictions, just methods you can adapt as the tools change — this one’s for you.
