Boost Your Business Efficiency with These Three Free AI Tools

May 30

I've always been a bit slow to jump on the new tech bandwagon. When Chat GPT first came out, I was definitely in the "afraid of change" group and stuck to my old ways.

But now, a year later, I've finally embraced AI and started using it to make my marketing tasks faster and improve areas where I struggle, like writing! AI is here to stay, and if it can assist solo business owners like you and me by acting as an additional team member, that's definitely a positive, right?

AI can be utilised in countless ways for business, with a wide range of programs available. I personally enjoy leveraging it for social media and marketing purposes, so I thought I'd share my top three tools to help boost your business as well!

Ahrefs Writing Tools

I use this platform daily, and haven’t even tapped into its full potential! It has a whole host of tools available covering different areas, for example:

Writing:

Paragraph Rewriter
Grammar Checker
Rewording Tool

SEO & Content Marketing:

Video script generator
Content idea generator
Meta description generator

Social Media:

Social media caption generator
Instagram hashtag generator
YouTube video description generator

I use the paragraph rewriter tool regularly, and it helps me level up my blog posts, newsletters and more! It’s worth pointing out, that edits should always be made to AI-generated content so it suits your style, sounds like you and has the correct grammar for your location (eg UK vs US).

Vista Social

Vista Social is designed for social media, so if (like me) you struggle with creating numerous Pinterest captions, Vista Social is the perfect tool for you! You can select your preferred tone of voice and language, provide the caption topic and keywords, and let Vista Social generate a fitting caption for your post. I specifically use this for Pinterest, but it has a generator for multiple
social media platforms.

Hot tip - if you have multiple pins for the same topic using the same keywords (eg. a portfolio showcase) play around with different tone of voice options to quickly generate multiple cpations.

Vidyo.ai

This tool is absolutely amazing for making short social media clips out of long videos or enhancing the quality of your reels and stories. They offer a variety of templates to choose from, automatically generate captions, and even allow you to add your own branding. With 75 minutes of video per month available on the free plan, it's a fantastic choice for small businesses and startups.

Hot tip - Resize your videos effortlessly with the built-in function, ensuring compatibility across various platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Linkedin. Easily adapt your videos to fit a square format for Instagram, portrait mode for TikTok, or landscape orientation for Linkedin.

I hope you’ve found this blog useful! I’d love to hear how you are using AI in your business!
