Avoid These Errors and Start Selling More
Artificial intelligence is incredible.
It can:
- Write sales pages
- Create products
- Generate email sequences
- Do in minutes what used to take weeks
But here’s the problem: Most people are using AI wrong, and it’s costing them sales.
I’m going to show you the five biggest mistakes people make when using AI to create and sell digital products, and more importantly, how to avoid them so your products actually sell.
Mistake #1: Creating Generic Content That Sounds Like AI
This is by far the most common problem I see.
People use AI, get excited about how fast it creates content, and then they just copy and paste everything without adding their own:
- Voice
- Stories
- Personality
The result?
A product that sounds:
❌ Robotic
❌ Bland
❌ Forgettable
And here’s the harsh truth: Your customers can tell.
They might not know it was written by AI, but they can sense that something’s off.
It doesn’t connect emotionally. It doesn’t feel authentic.
And if it doesn’t feel authentic, they’re not going to buy.
How to Fix It:
Always treat AI-generated content as a first draft, not a final product.
Use AI to get:
- The structure
- The ideas
- The framework
Then YOU add:
- Stories from your own experience
- Your opinions
- Humor or emotion
- Whatever makes you unique
Your personality is what makes your product stand out, not the AI.
Mistake #2: Creating Products Without Validating the Market
AI makes it so easy to create products that people fall into the trap of:
❌ Building first
❌ Asking questions later
They create an ebook or a course because they can, not because there’s demand for it.
Just because you can create a product in 30 minutes doesn’t mean you should.
How to Fix It:
Before you create anything, make sure people actually want it.
Here’s how:
✅ Talk to your audience – Ask them what they’re struggling with
✅ Look at what’s already selling in your niche
✅ Check forums, Facebook groups, Reddit
✅ Find out what problems they’re trying to solve
Then create a product that solves those problems.
AI can help you create the solution, but it can’t tell you what the problem is.
That part is on you.
Mistake #3: Neglecting Your Sales Copy
I see this all the time:
People spend hours using AI to create an amazing product, but then they slap together a mediocre sales page in 5 minutes.
They think the product will sell itself.
It won’t.
No matter how good your product is, if your sales copy doesn’t convince people to buy, you’re not going to make sales.
Why Sales Copy Matters:
Your sales page is the gatekeeper.
It’s the bridge between:
- Someone being curious
- Someone becoming a customer
If your sales page is:
❌ Weak
❌ Confusing
❌ Boring
People will leave. Even if they wanted your product, bad sales copy will talk them out of it.
How to Fix It:
Spend as much time on your sales copy as you do on your product.
Use AI to write it, but don’t stop there:
- Study successful sales pages in your niche
- Notice how they structure their copy
- How they present benefits
- How they handle objections
- How they create urgency
Then apply those same principles to your own sales page.
Test:
- Different headlines
- Different calls to action
- Different benefit bullets
Optimize until it converts.
Mistake #4: Over-Relying on AI and Losing the Human Element
AI is a tool. It’s a powerful tool, but it’s still just a tool.
The problem is, some people treat it like a replacement for their own thinking.
They ask AI to do everything and then wonder why their business isn’t growing.
What AI Can Do:
✅ Generate content
✅ Write copy
✅ Create outlines
What AI CAN’T Do:
❌ Build relationships
❌ Understand your customers on a deep level
❌ Make strategic decisions about your business
Those things require:
- Human judgment
- Intuition
- Empathy
If you rely too heavily on AI:
- Your business will feel soulless
- Your marketing will feel robotic
- Your customer interactions will feel impersonal
How to Fix It:
Find the balance.
Use AI for:
- Repetitive tasks
- Time-consuming tasks
- Technical tasks
Use YOUR brain for:
- Strategy
- Relationships
- Creativity
Don’t let AI replace your thinking. Let it enhance it.
Mistake #5: Not Testing and Iterating
A lot of people:
- Create a product with AI
- Launch it
- Move on
They don’t:
❌ Track their results
❌ Test different approaches
❌ Ask for feedback
And then they wonder why they’re not making consistent sales.
The Reality:
Your first version of anything is rarely the best version.
Whether it’s:
- Your product
- Your sales page
- Your emails
- Your ads
You need to test and improve.
How to Fix It:
AI makes it easy to create variations. Use that to your advantage.
Test:
- 3 different versions of your sales page headline
- Different email subject lines
- Different product formats
- Different calls to action
Look at your data:
- What’s working?
- What’s not?
Then improve.
The businesses that succeed aren’t the ones that get everything perfect on the first try.
They’re the ones that test, learn, and improve over time.
AI makes that process faster, but you still have to do it.
Recap: The 5 AI Mistakes That Kill Sales
- Creating generic content without personality
- Building products without validating demand
- Neglecting your sales copy
- Over-relying on AI and losing the human touch
- Not testing and iterating
Avoid these mistakes and you’ll be miles ahead of most people trying to use AI to build their business.
