I’m doing a little Throwback Thursday action today. I originally published this issue back in July. Most of you weren’t on my list then, so thought it was worth a re-share.

Btw, this is a lesson to: you can re-use your old content since most people won’t have seen it!

Marcellinus Prevailer built 3 funnels in a weekend.

He used AI + free tools + time on the calendar.

That’s it.

He didn’t overthink it.
He didn’t build the “perfect system.”
He just set aside the hours and got it done.

The 3 Funnels

Here’s how he did it:

1️⃣ The Lead Magnet

  • ChatGPT → Helped create a checklist

  • Gumroad → Landing page & lead magnet delivery

  • Carrd → Custom thank you page

  • MailerLite → Sends follow-up emails + upsells

  • Pinterest → Drives traffic with AI-generated pin titles + Canva graphics

2️⃣ The Content Funnel

  • ChatGPT → Created a swipe file

  • Medium → Publishes a story-driven post about how he used it

  • X/Twitter → Repurposes key takeaways into threads that drive back to the lead magnet

  • MailerLite → Delivers the download and pitches a $9 product on autopilot

3️⃣ The Mini Offer Funnel

  • Claude → Creates a $9 product (The 1-Hour Authority Ebook Blueprint)

  • Gumroad → Handles sales and delivery, redirects to thank you page with strategy session offer

  • Medium + X → Drives organic traffic with stories and posts

  • MailerLite → Sends follow-up emails and link to strategy session

My Take

I’m as guilty of this as anyone:

  • Overthinking before building

  • Waiting for the perfect angle

  • Stacking up ideas but not shipping them

This article was a reminder:
Sometimes you just need to carve out a couple of hours and make the thing.

Use AI to speed it up.
Use free tools to remove friction.
Then launch, watch what happens, and adjust.

If it works? Keep going.
If it doesn’t? Kill it fast and try again.

But don’t wait.
