Trying to Automate Social Posting for an Event with Claude Code (What Actually Worked)

I was trying to connect all my social channels to drive registrations for the AI x Marketing Summit (May 28–29 in SF) using Claude Code. Thought I’d share how it went in case anyone else is going down this rabbit hole.

Here’s what I ran into:

  • Luma – surprisingly the easiest to set up
  • Twitter/X – ran into a bunch of credential issues
  • LinkedIn – couldn’t get a direct connection working
  • Reddit – had to create a Reddit app first
  • Apollo – easy to connect, but not very useful after that
  • Instagram – absolute pain via MCP, especially if you’re not active on Facebook
  • TikTok – pretty straightforward
  • YouTube – also easy through Composio - didn't even try going direct
  • Substack – haven’t set this up yet
  • Humanic – using this for email

Eventually landed on Bright Data + Composio. That combo worked well for Twitter and Reddit (super smooth), and somewhat for LinkedIn.

Big takeaway: a lot of MCP servers are still pretty limited and harder to set up than expected.

Curious if anyone else has found a cleaner stack for managing cross-platform posting?

How important is having a dedicated Amazon team vs freelancers?

I’ve used freelancers before but results were inconsistent. Is a full team actually worth it?

Testing agentic posting via Claude Code + Composio MCP

This is a test post created by Claude Code using the Composio MCP server — part of building out the AI x Marketing agentic stack.

If you're curious how this works: Claude Code connected to Reddit via Composio's MCP integration and posted this autonomously from a single prompt.

More to come. 🚀

What actually drives repeat purchases in ecommerce and how much of it is controllable?

Getting the first sale is one thing but getting someone to come back without having to spend on acquisition again is a completely different challenge. Some of it feels like it comes down to the product and some of it feels like it is about the experience around it.

Curious what has actually moved the needle for others on retention and whether it was something intentional or something you stumbled into.

Spent the week analyzing creator economy data — three things shifting in Q2 2026 that most creators are missing

📢 I run a daily trend intelligence newsletter for creators and just published a deep dive on what's actually working in Q2 2026.

Sharing the three biggest shifts because I think they're underdiscussed:

  1. The "faceless creator" era is collapsing fast

YouTube's late-Q1 algorithm update — codenamed "Voice Print" internally — now detects AI-narrated content with 94% accuracy. Channels that were printing six figures are seeing 40-70% impression drops over the last 90 days. Faceless CPMs went from $14-22 in early 2025 to $4-9 today. Advertisers are pulling spend.

What's replacing it: hybrid model. Real face + AI production stack. 20-second face-cam intros + AI-narrated middles. The audience needs the human anchor, but you keep the production efficiency.

  1. The 0.8-second face rule is producing 1.7x reach multipliers

Tests across TikTok and Instagram in late April/early May confirm: videos opening with a visible human face in the first 0.8 seconds are getting prioritized over text-on-image or AI avatar opens. This isn't subtle — the multiplier is significant. 24-72 hour window before the broader creator pool catches on.

  1. Trust density > follower count

The metric brand deals are negotiated on has shifted. It's no longer "how many followers do you have" — it's "what % of your audience reliably takes action." A creator with 50K followers and 12% engaged is now outperforming a creator with 500K and 0.6% engaged for sponsorships.

Newsletter subscribers are converting 4-10x social followers in 2026.

The implication for solo creators: micro-niches and depth beat reach. Smaller, deeply trusted audiences are economically rational.

I compared 7 AI options for Amazon listing design — here's what actually works (and what's a waste of time)

First — there's a distinction most people miss. There are AI tools (you're the designer, AI assists with tasks like background removal) and AI agents (you upload a product photo, the AI handles everything). This matters way more than any feature list.

Here's what I tested:

Canva — Honestly the most flexible option if you enjoy designing. Magic Studio features are solid. But you're building Amazon listings from general-purpose templates, manually setting dimensions, choosing layouts, making sure everything meets Seller Central requirements. It doesn't know what an A+ comparison chart should look like for supplements vs. kitchen products. You bring that knowledge. Works great if you already use Canva for other brand stuff and don't mind spending 30-60 min per listing.

Photoroom — Does two things really well: background removal and AI scene placement. Need a clean white-background hero or your product on a marble countertop? Solid results, fast, affordable. But it stops at individual images. You're assembling everything else separately.

Blend — Good at lifestyle photography specifically. Placing your product into realistic environments — diffuser on a bedside table, water bottle at the gym. Looks natural, not composited. But again, just lifestyle backgrounds.

Saharan AI — This one's different from the others because it's the agent model I mentioned. You upload a product photo and it generates the whole package — hero, secondaries, A+ modules — without you touching a design interface. It makes the layout/typography/content decisions that a freelance designer would make, but in a couple minutes. Worked surprisingly well for my supplement and home/kitchen ASINs where it picked up on category-specific stuff (dosage callouts, dimensional context) without me telling it to. Not as customizable as doing it yourself in Canva, but the time savings are ridiculous if you're managing multiple ASINs. It really feels like it’s trained on e-commerce expertise.

Pebblely — Similar lane to Photoroom but targets small physical products (cosmetics, jewelry, food). Quick lifestyle images, intuitive interface. Still a single-image tool though, not a listing solution.

Amazon's Built-In AI Generator — Free for Brand Registered sellers, right inside Seller Central. Price is right but output is inconsistent. Limited customization, no A+ design, no strategic thinking about how your listing works as a whole. Fine for experimenting at zero cost. Not a solution.

Freelancer + AI Hybrid (Fiverr/Upwork) — Most designers now use AI behind the scenes which has driven prices down ($80-250 for a full package vs $500 before). You get a human eye on final output. But you're still paying per listing, waiting 3-5 days, dealing with revision cycles, and quality varies wildly.

My takeaway after testing all of these:

If you sell 1-2 products and enjoy designing → Canva

If you just need quick hero images on a budget → Photoroom or Pebblely

If you're managing 10+ ASINs and don't want to become a designer → Saharan AI (the agent approach saved me the most time by far)

If you want to test AI at zero cost → Amazon's built-in tool

Pro tip regardless of which you pick: Don't swap all your images at once. Start with your worst-performing ASINs, change secondaries first (slots 2-4), monitor conversion for two weeks, THEN test the hero image. Use Manage Your Experiments if you're Brand Registered. Back up screenshots of everything before you touch it.
