AI can be an incredible brainstorming partner for customer research, competitor research, content strategy, and product validation. One simple prompt can uncover the questions your ideal customers are likely asking before they’re ready to invest. The prompt; I’m a [your niche]. My ideal customer is already looking for a solution to [problem]. What questions are they typing into Google, Pinterest, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Gemini, Perplexity, ChatGPT, and other popular sites i am missing right before they’re ready to invest Organize the results by platform and buying intent.” Within minutes, AI can organize the results by platform and buying intent. One thing you’ll notice quickly: Folks aren’t searching for AI. They’re searching for the outcome they want. They may be searching things like: - How to turn my expertise into a digital product - How to build an app without knowing how to code - How to validate a product idea before launching - How to find customers who are ready to buy - Best AI tools for creating digital products - Best community platform for memberships - How much does it cost to build an AI app? Those searches reveal far more about buying intent than simply knowing someone is interested in AI. The next step is just as important. Take those questions and validate them. Search Google. Read Reddit discussions. Review YouTube comments. Explore TikTok or Pinterest search. Look for patterns in the language people use. The goal isn’t to let AI replace your research. The goal is to use AI to uncover better questions so you can make better business decisions. I cover this process inside the classroom, including customer research, buying intent, awareness stages, competitor research, and turning customer questions into content, products, and offers. — Whit 🫶🏽
