A Complete Marketing Department for $40 a Month? Say Hi to ChatGPT, Canva Pro and Midjourney.

As a startup or entrepreneur, marketing your product or service is essential to success. With the rise of technology, it has become easier than ever to create high-quality content and designs for your marketing materials. In this article, we will explore how you can utilise three tools — ChatGPT, Canva Pro, and Midjourney — to create effective marketing assets for your startup.

Suppose you are launching a new product and want to create a marketing campaign around it. You could start by using ChatGPT to generate an informative blog post about the product’s features and benefits. Then enlist the services of Midjourney to create an image that showcases the product in action or conveys the feel of the message you’re designing. Lastly, you could use Canva Pro to create eye-catching graphics and social media posts that highlight the product’s key features.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a language model developed by OpenAI that can write natural-sounding content for you. With ChatGPT, you can easily generate engaging and informative articles, blog posts, and social media content. The best part is that you don’t need to be an expert writer to use it — simply input your topic or question, and ChatGPT will generate a well-written article for you.

This prompt will give ChatGPT a clear idea of what kind of content you are looking for and who your target audience is. It will also help you highlight the unique features and benefits of your product/service and demonstrate how it can meet the needs of your customers.

For example, let’s create a small campaign for a funky (as in happening kinda place), urban city experience.

In ChatGPT I can it to write a snappy slogan or title.

Create a tagline for activity of shopping in an hip trendy city

Sure, here’s a tagline for shopping in a hip and trendy city:

“Shop your way through the city’s pulse and live the urban vibe.”

This tagline highlights the excitement and energy of shopping in a vibrant and trendy city. It encourages shoppers to immerse themselves in the city’s atmosphere and enjoy the experience of exploring new and unique stores. The use of “pulse” and “urban vibe” evokes a sense of modernity and liveliness, appealing to a younger and more adventurous audience.

Not bad at all, I can live with that.

Next an entire article….

Create an article for a travel magazine with the base text of “Shop your way through the city’s pulse and live the urban vibe.”

Shop Your Way Through the City’s Pulse and Live the Urban Vibe

For many people, shopping is more than just a way to acquire goods and services. It is an experience, a way to immerse oneself in the culture and vibe of a city.

Once again it looks pretty good, it does like kinda generated so it’s a good idea to edit or even get ChatGPT to refine the output content.

Time taken: about 30 seconds

Now we have a tagline and some copy, let’s design (well not us) an image to use on the flyer.

Midjourney

Midjourney is a company that specialises in creating images and videos for your brand. With their services, you can get customised graphics and videos that are tailored to your brand’s identity. Midjourney’s team of professionals can help you create engaging visuals that stand out from the competition. They offer a wide range of services, including video production, animation, and graphic design.

As in ChatGPT, Midjourney works on prompts.

So here’s mine for my little campaign:

Create an image of a man and a woman walking together in a bustling city street. The man is holding a coffee cup and the woman is carrying a shopping bag. The image should evoke a sense of energy, excitement, and possibility. Please use bright colors and dynamic shapes to convey a vibrant city atmosphere.

Within sixty seconds Midjourney comes up with some ideas and variations.

I’m liking the image in the top left. From there I could ask Midjourney to make some adjustments until I get what I wanted.

I settled on this image:

Remember, I’ve not done a single piece of design work here. It’s all Midjourney from the prompts.

Time taken: about four minutes in total.

Canva Pro

Canva Pro is a graphic design tool that allows you to create stunning visuals for your marketing materials. With Canva Pro, you can design logos, flyers, social media posts, and more. Canva Pro offers a vast library of templates and design elements, making it easy to create eye-catching designs in minutes. Additionally, Canva Pro allows you to collaborate with team members and share designs seamlessly.

I’ve got my tagline, I’ve got my image. Now let’s get to work, I actually have to do something on my own here.

Canva has hundreds, probably thousands, of different templates to use. So it makes sense to use them and not create a ton of work for myself.

Download as a png file and I end up with this:

This looks great to me. Not sure what the marketing department would think, as I don’t have one and I’m a solo founder, this like it will work for me.

Time taken: ten minutes from start to finish.

As a startup or entrepreneur, using these tools can help you create marketing materials that stand out from the competition, corny sounding yes, but it’s true. By using ChatGPT, Canva Pro, and Midjourney, you can generate informative content, create visually stunning designs, and showcase your brand’s identity in a professional and engaging way. Start using these tools today and see how they can help you take your marketing efforts to the next level!
