🤷♂️ What’s Going On and Why It Matters:
Sheeeesh.
Are y’all ready to tap into AI and start an e-commerce powerhouse now?
(Or is that just us?)
If you missed today’s episode, you missed a live treat.
Charles Chakkalo is an entrepreneur and commerce business owner. A few years back, he faced a common problem: taking the family business online.
As soon as ChatGPT and the Generative AI waves crashed ashore, business was booooomin.
If you missed the show, go back and watch it.
If you wanna get the text tidbits: here’s the skinny. (Shoutout Harvey!)
- Generative AI can be any e-commerce business owner’s best friend
- You can use AI in everything from product descriptions to image generation
- Charles showed us his process, live on screen
Wanna take a page outta his book?
Let’s get flippin 📚
🦾How You Can Leverage:
Whether you have an e-commerce shop or always wanted to, Generative AI can be the pop your shop needs.
But where to start?
Everywhere you turn, there’s a new whatchamacallit tool that does …. Everything.
Charles shared his AI-powered process for his Amazon storefront Joey’Z, and it’s as easy as 1-2-3
1 – Use AI for research and ideation 💡
How?
Simple. Charles does some good ol’ fashion researching with tools like ChatGPT and Claude. Better yet, he uses Jungle Scout, a tool designed specifically for Amazon store owners to better scout their deals. (And they’ve got some AI power to boot)
Try this: If you’re getting into the ecomm game or want to try your hand at setting up an Amazon store, do your due diligence with AI by your side. Use JungleScout’s AI features to investigate potential selling positions, then tag-team a large language model tool like ChatGPT or Claude to bring those suggestions to life.
2 – Product Descriptions + AI = 😱
Product descriptions are the lifeblood of any successful e-commerce shop. If you can get the description JUST right and sprinkle in a little SEO magic, then the ca$h can start flowing.
The bad part?
They’re CRAZY time-consuming. And not even easy. Charles broke it down for us.
Try this: In addition to JungleScout, use an SEO research tool like Ahrefhs or Ubersuggest. (Or, our fave Semrush) Combine that insight with a tool like ChatGPT or Claude, and ask your LLM of choice to write up product descriptions that fit the SEO bill. Expert tip: Do this in bulk with AI + spreadsheets.
3 – AI Imagery for the win! 📸
Can you actually use AI images for your e-commerce shop and not have to hire an expensive photographer? For many cases, Charles said absolutely. (Especially for his ‘Posts” section on Amazon)
How to do it?
Try this: Charles rocked this live, but here’s the dish. He grabs the AI-generated product headlines and descriptions from ChatGPT or Claude, and uses Canva’s AI image generator for quick, easy and free images. If Canva aint cuttin it, you can always head over to Midjourney.
