AI Business Workshop — Your Handbook

Your goal by 5pm: a live website + 4 styled socials + 30 captions + 30 days of posts auto-scheduled. I’m on screen with you the whole way.

Tools we use (mostly free + one paid)

👉 The one thing to sort before Saturday: a paid AI subscription (~R300 — e.g. Claude Pro) so it doesn’t rate-limit you mid-build. Everything else below is free.

  • Claude.ai — your AI assistant (get Pro) — claude.ai
  • Netlify Drop — hosts your website, drag-and-drop — app.netlify.com/drop
  • Gemini — generates your logo (free) — gemini.google.com
  • Canva (free) — touches up logo + banner
  • Coolors.co — picks brand colours in 30 sec
  • Meta Business Suite — schedules IG + FB (free)
  • TikTok + LinkedIn native schedulers (free)

Before Saturday — quick prep

  1. Get your AI subscription sorted (above)
  2. Laptop charged + stable Wi-Fi
  3. A notebook (or a Google Doc titled “My Workshop Day”)
  4. Block 9:00–17:00 — come with the thing people already ask you for

What we build, module by module

Module 1 — Find Your Business (30 min). You walk out with one sentence: “I help X do Y.” (This is the prompt from your free lead magnet — we go deeper live.)

Module 2 — Build Your Website with AI (60 min). A live, shareable website URL. The magic prompt:

Build me a single-page website in ONE .html file (HTML, CSS, a little JS, all inline).
Business: [name] | What I do: [your "I help X do Y" sentence] | Location: [city]
Sections in order: 1) Hero (name + sentence + "Book Free Trial" button) 2) What we offer (3 cards) 3) About (2 paragraphs) 4) Testimonials (3 placeholders) 5) Contact (address, phone, email, hours, form) 6) Footer.
Style: modern, clean, warm, mobile-first. Brand colours: [2 from coolors.co]. Fonts: Inter (body) + Fraunces (headings). Big hero image from a free Unsplash URL. All CSS in <style>, all JS at end of <body>, no external files. Output just the .html file.

Then drag the saved index.html onto app.netlify.com/drop → instant live URL.

Module 3 — Logo + Brand (30 min). A logo PNG + matching banner (Gemini, free; Canva fallback).

Module 4 — 4 Socials (30 min). Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook — same username, same logo, same bio sentence.

Module 5 — Content That Sells (90 min). 30 captions + 5 video scripts. The content-engine prompt:

You are my social media content writer.
My business: [your "I help X do Y" sentence] | My audience: [describe] | Voice: warm, encouraging, no jargon, slightly cheeky.
Generate 30 captions for 30 days: 10 educational, 10 inspirational, 5 behind-the-scenes, 5 promotional.
Each: [CAPTION #X — TYPE], caption (under 200 words, 1 hook + 1 CTA), [HASHTAGS: 5-8], [VISUAL: 1 line]. South African English, sound like a real person.

Module 6 — Schedule 30 Days (60 min). Queue it all in Meta Business Suite (IG+FB), TikTok + LinkedIn native schedulers (all free, unlimited).

By 5pm you’ll have: your sentence ✅, a live website ✅, logo + banner ✅, 4 branded socials ✅, 30 captions + 5 scripts ✅, 30 days of posts queued ✅.

See you Saturday 20 June, 9am. — Shamz
