Reach out for web and digital marketing consulting, coaching and training! Jesse Stay, "The Social Geek", studies and learns about new business-altering paradigm shifts in technology, and shows businesses how to embrace these paradigm shifts before their competition does. He has written 9 books, helped design some of the top apps on Facebook through his specialty of "social design" and "growth hac

king", and has consulted and worked for multi-national organizations and companies including Facebook, Inc. itself to help them improve their marketing and social media strategies. Jesse has grown pages in the millions for multiple organizations and individuals using a few simple techniques in Facebook marketing and ad strategy. He has tripled traffic on websites through Google+ authorship and integration strategy, and performed similar for other clients using his special "hub and spoke" technique of social presence strategy. In his books, blogs, webinars, and coaching, Jesse teaches his audiences that anyone can be a marketer. He has since been recognized as one of the top 20 developers to follow on Twitter by Mashable next to Jack Dorsey, and top 10 entrepreneurs to follow on Twitter by Mashable and Entrepreneur magazine next to Ev Williams, Biz Stone, and Guy Kawasaki. Jesse started as a software developer, programming computers since he was 10 years old living in Jakarta, Indonesia. An entrepreneur at heart, he discovered a desire to grow audiences and customers for the apps he built, but lacked the skills to do so. His only option was to go out and hire an expensive marketer, SEO, or social media professional to help with app growth. He decided this needed to change, and applied his software skills to a proven program for cultivating and growing large audiences that convert. Jesse now speaks internationally, writes books, performs webinars and coaches for individuals, businesses, and organizations looking to take their marketing to that next level using social media and other techniques. Jesse can help you grow audiences and revenue through those audiences as well!

Imagine a company where every role has the power to code software.

I’ve built a system that automates just about any role in your company—with AI that actually writes the code for you. And to top it off, my AI-powered Executive Secretary will coordinate it all.

It’s running my business right now, and I’m ready to turn this into a product. But first, I need three businesses willing to test it out.

Here’s the deal:

* We’ll map out your company’s roles and identify key automation opportunities.
* The system will automate tasks, processes, and even entire projects for you.
* Since this is an early-stage offer, I’m setting it up for just $3,000 for a full year license (normally will be way more, due to the value).

What’s the catch? I need time to package it for different infrastructures, so I’m looking for three companies to go through the process with me at this deep discount.

I’ve already replaced multiple SaaS tools that I used to pay for—this system saves thousands in software costs, and that's just the beginning! Your business could be next.

Only three spots available. Want to supercharge your business with AI-driven automation?

Message me or comment below to claim a spot before they're gone.

06/03/2025

I am, within a day or two, replacing entire products that used to cost me a subscription to automate. Now, my entirely automated workforce builds the tools for me and I don't have to pay for anything but a subscription to the AI.

In the last week or two, several releases of AI Agent software development tools completely changed the game. Is your business ready for it? You could be within weeks of your entire company being replaced.

Reach out if I can help you prepare!

I Let AI Run My Life for a Month—Here’s What Happened

Most people waste hours on tasks AI should already be handling. Scheduling, emails, meetings—it’s prehistoric manual labor.

So I did what any rational person would do: I fired myself from my own busy work.

I built an AI-powered Executive Assistant to run my business and personal life. It schedules meetings, restructures my to-do list, and keeps everything on track. I didn’t touch my calendar. I barely checked my inbox.

At first, I thought I’d feel out of control. Instead, I got more done in a week than I had in months.

This AI isn’t just some chatbot. It’s part of a fully automated system that includes:
* AI Taskmaster – Keeps every AI role aligned, only involving me when absolutely necessary.
* Privacy Czar AI (Coming Soon) – A locally stored AI to manage sensitive data privately.
* Automation Engineer – Not just suggesting workflows, but building them in real time.

I’ve been automating for decades—writing Perl scripts in the early 2000s, building the first-ever social media follower tracker, and deploying AI to save Fortune 500 companies millions.

If you’re still manually managing your calendar, inbox, and workflows, you’re already behind.

Want to automate your business or personal life? Let’s talk.

AI is completely changing how I run my business.

Today, I automated my entire lead generation, outreach, and follow-up process. No manual emails, no duplicate messages—just an AI-driven system running on autopilot.

Here’s what I did, just as a proof-of-concept:

* Scraped targeted LinkedIn leads using AI
* Automated personalized email outreach without duplicates
* Scaled LinkedIn DMs to reach non-email contacts
* Used AI to track and categorize responses

This isn’t just about saving time. It’s about scaling revenue-generating activities without manual effort. AI works faster, smarter, and better.

If you’re still doing outreach manually, you’re already behind. The future is automated.

I break it all down in today’s blog post, and plan to continue documenting this as I go: https://staynalive.com/blog/2025/02/how-im-using-ai-to-automate-business-income-generation.html

AI is becoming an essential tool for businesses looking to streamline operations and scale income generation. Companies like BBVA are integrating AI across their workforce, using ChatGPT Enterprise to automate workflows and improve productivity. Australian corporations like Telstra and Wesfarmers ar

Wow, I sort of knew this, but not in this way, although I do now have a few agents running for me now that are helping me organize and monetize this better. I challenge each of you to ask ChatGPT this same question: "Everyone in the world is good at something. Given what you know about me, what am I the best in the world at?"

What does it say about you? I'm blown away by the answer. Let me know in the comments.

Friends, can I ask a favor? Will you go purchase a copy of my latest book, Canva For Dummies at the link below and leave a review? It doesn't matter if you purchase the Kindle or paperback version. Sales thrive on reviews and I'd love to get more than just the one review there, which only criticizes it because of the value I give to businesses in the book, which is HUGE! I'm not entirely sure what they were trying to learn.

BTW, if you want any additional tips or have additional feedback, I share links to the website for the book all throughout the book. I'm happy to add additional content that might be critical for something you were expecting in the book. That website will only get better over time if you keep referring back to it.

I literally covered everything Canva offers, so I doubt you'll be disappointed!

Here's the link to purchase--TIA!:

I’ve deleted all Meta apps except Meta Business Suite from my phone, as well as X, at least for now. TikTok is deleted but up in the air after the game they played this weekend.

You can find me on the only truly open and decentralized social network with over 30 million users and growing, at https://stay.bluesky.social. No, Chirp and the Fediverse are not fully decentralized. Come join the revolution and take your data back.

This isn’t about Right or Left. It’s about humans having full control and knowledge over how their data is stored and what people are doing with it.
