Marketing Ideas Generator

The Marketing Ideas Generator is a Claude skill that hands you three well thought out marketing tactics built for the revenue stage you're actually in and the offer you're actually selling. Not twenty. Three. Things you can run this week.

The Problem

Ask the internet "how do I market my business" and you get a firehose of nothing. Listicles with forty-seven tactics. Threads from creators with 200k followers telling you to "just post more." A YouTube video about a $50k/month agency's funnel that has nothing to do with your $3k/month coaching offer.

So you bookmark it all. You open a Notion doc. You write down "start a newsletter, run Google Ads, do SEO, get on podcasts, build a community, post Reels, do cold email." Then you stare at it. Which one first? Which one fits your stage? Which one fits the actual thing you're selling for the actual price you're charging to the actual person you're trying to reach? The doc grows. The revenue doesn't.

Or you ask an AI tool and it spits back the same twenty-item generic playbook: "build a brand, create valuable content, engage your audience"...blah blah blah. That could apply to anyone selling anything. You close the tab. You're back where you started.

This skill helps eliminate all that. You tell it the offer, the audience, and the stage. You get three tactics and the first step for each perfectly designed to your business.

What this Claude skill does

Forces stage-appropriate advice: $0–10k / $10–50k / $50k+ — the tactic that works at one stage will quietly bankrupt you at another.
Anchors every tactic to your actual offer: the price, format, and audience shape the recommendation. A $200 lead magnet plays differently than a $20k done-for-you service.
Returns three tactics, not twenty: a long list pushes the decision back onto you. Three is a plan.
Names the first step you take tomorrow: not "eventually," not "build a strategy"... the actual concrete move.
Calls out what each tactic costs: hours per week, dollars per month, or both. So you know what you're signing up for.
Kills the bad ideas before you waste a quarter on them: viral content that doesn't convert, AI slop at volume, "just post more," automating broken systems.

Why it's amazing!

Cuts through the noise of generic marketing advice that wasn't written for your stage.
Tells you what to do this week, not what to learn about for the next six months.
Names the trade-offs honestly so you stop chasing tactics that work for someone with 100x your audience.
Saves you from spending a quarter on ads before your funnel can hold water.

Who it's for

Anyone trying to grow a business. But especially, SaaS founders, agency owners, indie hackers, coaches, course creators, and solo consultants between $0 and $50k monthly revenue who are tired of being handed advice built for someone else's company.

How it works

Ask Claude something like:

"Give me some marketing ideas."
"How do I get more leads for my SEO agency?"
"I run a $5k/mo agency selling SEO audits to local dentists. What should I do next?"
"Ways to grow — I'm at $12k/mo selling a $497 course on Notion templates to remote PMs."
"I'm launching a $2k cohort program for first-time founders. How do I market it?"
"Marketing ideas for a $50/mo SaaS at $30k MRR selling to indie devs."

If you didn't give it the three essentials — audience, offer, and revenue stage — it asks for them in one short message. Then it goes.

You'll get a clean response back:

Marketing a $497 Notion template course to remote product managers at Stage 2 ($10–50k/mo).

Followed by three tactics structured like this:

What it is — one sentence, no fluff
Why it fits — tied directly to your offer, audience, and stage
First step — what you do tomorrow
What success looks like — leads, sales, or hours saved at this price point
What it costs — time per week, dollars per month, or both

For Stage 2 you might get: layer paid ads on top of an organic channel that already works, get on three podcasts your audience already listens to, and automate the repetitive work eating your week. For Stage 1 you'd get something completely different — because you're solving a completely different problem.

Pairs well with these other skills

This skill picks the plays — these skills sharpen the inputs and execute the content tactics it hands you:

ICP Generator Skill: Define the audience first so every tactic anchors to a real person, not a guess.
Marketing Offer Generator Skill: Fix the offer before you market it — the right play on the wrong offer still flops.
Content Ideas Generator Skill: When a tactic calls for content, turn it into specific assignments you can act on.
Video Scripts and Captions Generator Skill: Produce the actual videos and captions the content tactics depend on.

FAQ

Does it cost anything to run?

The skill itself is 100% free. No external subscriptions, no third-party tools required.

Why only three tactics? I want more options.

Three is the default it produces, but you can ask for more.

What if I don't know my revenue stage?

Just give it a ballpark. Say something like "pre-revenue," "a few hundred a month," "around $8k." It'll map it to the right stage. The stages are buckets, not exact lines.

Will it tell me to "just post more on social media"?

No. The skill explicitly calls out volume-without-quality as a trap, along with viral content that doesn't convert, AI-generated slop, and automating broken systems. It's built to give you tactics that move revenue, not output count.

Does it write the content or run the campaigns for me?

No. It tells you what to do and the first step to take. For writing actual posts, scripts, or hooks, pair it with the other skills in this stack — Content Ideas Generator, Video Scripts and Captions Generator, Content Hooks Generator.

Can it diagnose what's wrong with my current funnel?

That's a job for another skill. Not this one. This skill picks the next play for your stage. If your funnel is broken, the tactics will surface that (e.g., "don't run ads until your landing page converts organically") — but it won't audit your existing stack for you.

Will the tactics work for my industry?

The framework works across industries. B2B SaaS, agencies, coaches, courses, ecommerce, local services. The skill anchors tactics to your audience and offer, so a tactic for a dentist-targeting agency won't look like a tactic for an indie SaaS. Hand it the specifics and it adapts.

Does it remember my business between conversations?

If you've got an ICP doc Ideal Customer Profile, offer file, or business profile in the project, it'll read those before asking anything, so you don't repeat yourself. Otherwise, you'll re-state the essentials each session.

Most are vibe-coded slop pushed out untested, and some are the occasional bad actor hiding an exploit in plain sight. (Read about OpenClaws ClawHub security nightmare).
