AI CMO Studio Academy · a free course
A free course for a business of one to ten people. Plain words, everyday examples, and a real step on your own business at the end of every lesson. With AI doing the busy work, that level is finally within reach.
No sign-up to learn. The practice runs in the studio, with a free week of 1,000 credits. A card is taken at checkout and nothing is charged for 7 days. After that, Creator is $59 a month unless you cancel.
If you run a small business
I can build the product. Getting people to buy it is the hard part
I post when I remember, and nothing happens
Everyone says do SEO, be on TikTok, start a newsletter. All at once?
My price? I looked at a competitor's and went a bit lower
Courses teach brands with big budgets, not a business like mine
I don't have a year to study marketing. I have evenings
None of this means you're bad at marketing. Nobody showed you the order
Before and after
Each module fixes one of these. The chips show which, and take you to it.
Before: A price copied from a rival
After: A price set on what the result is worth
Module 03Before: Seven channels, none of them working
After: Two channels that work every week
Module 04Before: Posting when you remember
After: A year of ideas from three to five topics
Module 07Before: Numbers you never look at
After: One number, and thirty minutes a month to read it
Module 13Before: Doing every task yourself
After: An AI team doing the busy work, waiting for your yes
Module 14The heroes
One sells to businesses, one is a service, one sells to families. All start where most small businesses start: a product that works, and marketing at zero. Every lesson moves one of them a step, so you watch the skill being learned, not only the result.
