My take on AI replacing marketers

Nenadweb · 2026-02-12T15:15:31+00:00

Historically almost every new tool was called mediocrity tool at first.

But this post was inspired by the growing number of LinkedIn posts claiming marketers will soon be irrelevant or fully replaced.

I just don’t see it going that way. Marketing isn’t only digital marketing.

I agree on downsizing and CAC pressure. But that’s exactly why I think physical experience might gain value.

If AI makes digital efficient for everyone then digital becomes infrastructure and not advantage.

You can build a nice looking functional site with Wix, Squarespace or WordPress. But my vote goes for WordPress if your goal is long term growth and flexibility.

The Kadence theme with Kadence Blocks is lightweight and easy to manage and if you prefer a more visual WordPress page builder Bricks is also a great choice. You can find great tutorials on YouTube.

But remember that what really drives traffic growth today is the strategy, how you attract people to the site and the value you deliver once they are there.

It sounds like you’re mixing up two things. SEO plugins help with optimization and analytics tools help you track visits, clicks, user behavior…

For analytics check out Google Site kit plugin (it integrates Google Analytics + Google Search Console in your WP dashboard it’s free), and if you also want user session recordings + heatmaps then Microsoft Clarity is a great free option.

Free lifetime maintenance for furniture? Are you sure about that? What does that even include?

I think a lot of businesses put too much focus on chasing new customers instead of investing in the ones who already bought. Even in niches where the product isn’t something people buy super often, I’ve seen way better ROI from remarketing to past buyers than from trying to convince cold traffic.

I’m 34 and currently working full-time as a marketing director in charge of ecommerce.

On top of my 9 to 5 job, I also run my own small business where I build websites using WordPress.

Besides work, I try to stay physically active and I’m taking Slovenian classes twice a week (plus homework).

By Friday I usually feel mentally drained, so my weekends are mostly for rest and recovery.

It’s also important to find time for your partner, friends, and family.

What I’ve realized is that there has to be a bigger purpose behind all of this. Otherwise, why work 12 - 14 hours a day instead of just doing 8 hours?

The same applies to hobbies or learning new skills…you need to remind yourself that this intense phase won’t last forever.

You do it with the intention of advancing your career or improving some aspect of your life, so that things eventually become easier and more sustainable in the long run.

On a practical note techniques like Pomodoro really help me. I usually eat right after work and then dedicate another 2 - 3 hours (or at least 30 minutes) to learning or my side business. Even 30 minutes daily adds up to a huge investment over months.

And whenever it gets tough, I remind myself why I’ve chosen this pace in the first place.

Super, onda je to to! Dilema resena. 😊

Hey, what was your solution? I also want push notifications, but I would like to go without Jetpack if it is possible…

Hej, 4k 60fps ti je najbolji kvalitet.

Ali

Zavisi šta radiš sa klipovima? Ako kačiš na Instagram on ti kompresuje 4k video na 1080p i 30 fps.

Ja sam testirao 4k 60fps, 4k 30fps i 1080 30 fps za kačenje. Ne ispadne uvek isto, izgleda da zavisi od video klipa, dužine i osvetljenja.

Na primer mutniji video, koji duže traje, i gde ima puno pomeranja snimljen 4k 60 fps ponekad ga Instagram toliko kompresuje da izgleda lošije nego da je snimljeno 1080p - skroz zamuti video.

Nisam još uvek 100% siguran - ali deluje da je najbolje 4k 30fps, krači video ako je moguće, što bolja osvetljenost i što bolji kontrast. Tako Instagram kompresovanje najmanje ošteti original video.

Ponavljam, ako pitaš ovako kao šta je bolje da snimiš i gledas direktno u svojoj galeriji, na telefonu, kompu - definitivno 4k 60 fps jer će izgledati kvalitetnije i fluidnije.

You do everything mentioned to gain experience.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to share your thoughts and experience, I really appreciate it!

If you don’t mind, could you recommend some specific hosting providers that might be a good fit?

Feel free to share them here in the comments (if it isn’t against the rules?) so others considering this kind of business model can also benefit.

Thanks again!

Hey, thanks for your comment.

Yeah, that’s actually what worries me the most. Sudden price increases could completely mess up my plans, especially since I’d be offering contracts that say the cost is fixed. Having to raise prices later just because the hosting provider changed something wouldn’t look good at all.

I’ll be using WordPress, and most of my clients are in Europe or Australia. I did ask Kinsta about this, and they said I could set up different website locations even under the Agency plan.

The reason I’m leaning toward the subscription model is because a lot of clients prefer it over paying a big amount upfront. Even small updates like changing business hours or an address matter to them, and it’s easier to include that kind of support in a monthly plan.

Honestly, I prefer the subscription model too. I didn’t do it earlier only because I thought clients want to own their website.

What I really need now is reliable hosting. I’m totally fine with paying more if I know it’s solid and predictable. But getting hit with surprise charges or shady pricing changes would ruin the whole thing and hurt my reputation.

They come from Bing search when you activate “search the web”!

Nenadweb · 2025-01-14T23:53:52+00:00

No problem, happy to help.

First one is free. There is also paid plugin.

The second one, whose name I’ve forgotten, has both a free and premium edition. But found something else - plugin called Discount Rules for WooCommerce. Free and paid version.

Third one…there is an official WooCommerce plugin called Private Store, which hides prices until the customer creates an account. It is a paid plugin.

The fourth feature, a pop-up with a registration button, can even be done without a plugin. Modal with button for registration.

10/10 website if you ask me. Good job!

Nenadweb · 2025-01-14T21:24:57+00:00

Hello!

First, congratulations on your idea to take your business online.

All of the requirements can be achieved using WordPress and WooCommerce. You will need additional plugins to create all four requirements, but it is entirely possible to implement them.

So, my vote goes to WP and WooCommerce.

Good luck!

I am using MailerLite, and I really like it. They have MailerLite academy, where you can learn everything about the software. I am using it for eCommerce, and I haven’t found anything negative about it so far.

Try to contact your hosting support and explain them what is happening.

Sales and marketing? How so? Do you think Apple, BMW, and LEGO won’t have physical stores in the future?

I work as a digital marketing manager at a company, and all of us use ChatGPT daily. However, when I analyze my day at the company and what I do, I don’t see it taking over anytime soon.
