Be the person who actually knows AI

Not just using it. Understanding it. Implementing it. Leading with it.

For the small business marketer or entrepreneur who needs a trusted guide to show you where to focus — and what to ignore.

The marketers pulling ahead aren’t learning more. They’re learning the right things.

That’s harder than it sounds.

Every week there’s a new model update. A new “game-changing” feature. Another tool claiming it’ll 10x your output.

You don’t need more of that. You need a trusted team cutting through the noise — so you always know exactly where to focus. And you walk into every conversation as the person who actually knows what’s working.

“There’s so many AI options out there. It’s hard to know what’s helpful and what’s not. I trust Social Media Examiner,” said member Jeremy Ham.

That’s exactly why we built the AI Business Society®

We filter the noise — We track every new AI tool and model update so you know exactly what’s worth your time — and what to ignore.

We point the way — Expert-led training every month, curated by Michael Stelzner, with full resource kits you can implement the same day.

You lead with AI — Members are building real workflows, saving real hours, and becoming the marketer their team turns to for AI answers.

Inside, you get the exact frameworks, prompts, and workflows you can start using right away — the kind of actionable depth you won’t find by scrolling your feed or watching another YouTube video.

“There’s so many AI options out there. The AI Business Society is the BEST training community, hands down. I trust Social Media Examiner to tell me what’s important and to train me on it.” — Lisa Kanda, member

Who is this for?

You’re a marketer or entrepreneur who already uses AI. You know there’s a gap between what you’re doing now and what’s possible — but tools keep multiplying and you don’t have time to figure out which ones matter.

If that sounds familiar, you’re exactly who we built this for.

“I like the practical approach and being able to take away tips that I can start implementing immediately,” said member Michelle West.

Hear directly from members who are already putting AI to work:

A Curated Experience — Not Another Library of Recordings

Most AI memberships hand you a library of recordings and say “good luck.” We do something different.

“After just a few of their mini training sessions, I’ve already got fresh ideas on how to improve my processes and add value for my clients.“ said member Diana Ioppolo.

🔍 Your Personal AI Curation Team

Stop wasting hours evaluating every new AI tool. Each week, we filter the noise and tell you exactly which tools and updates deserve your attention — and which ones to skip.

“The AI society is a place that I know I will be able to come for up to date info from a trusted source when it comes to AI in business and marketing,” said member Lisa Monks.

🎓 Expert-Led Live Training With Full Resource Kits

Every month you’ll hear from leading AI practitioners — not theorists. They focus on AI training you can apply today, ranging from building AI automations to creating content that sounds like you.

Each session comes with a full resource kit: transcript, slides, key takeaways, tool lists, and an MP3. Can’t make it live? Every recording is available on-demand.

🛠️ Live AI Skill-Building Sessions

Sharpen your skills in real time. Interactive sessions go deep on specific tools and workflows — from prompt tweaks that dramatically improve AI output to building an AI sounding board of expert consultants.

“I’ve attended many trainings. This was by far one of the best that has ever been provided,” said member Rita Perea.

⚡ Rapid-Fire Learning

Sometimes you only have 5 minutes. That’s enough. Our Bite-Size Lessons, Quick Wins, and Mini-Training library gives you practical skills in 5 to 15 minutes — results, not homework.

“I have already improved my workflow on how I create and publish content. That’s why I joined AI Society — so I can get better and maximize ROE — return on efforts,” said member Prathima Venkatesan, member.

🤝 A Community That Helps

When you hit a wall or need a second opinion, you’re not alone.

Fellow marketers share what’s working, troubleshoot problems together, and keep each other accountable.

“I have found my people. I love chatting about our experiences with AI and supporting each other on our journey toward the future,” said member Marisa Shadrick.

Why This Isn’t Like Any Other AI Membership

Who you learn from matters as much as what you learn.

The AI Business Society is produced by Social Media Examiner — the most trusted name in marketing education for more than 15 years. We’ve built that trust the slow way — by recruiting world-class experts and keeping every training pitch-free.

Every expert is hand-selected by founder Michael Stelzner personally, ensuring you walk away with tactics you can use — not theory you have to figure out on your own.

“I’m now getting bombarded by new people in this space looking to make a quick buck. They don’t seem to have the long-term expertise of SME and they’re much more expensive. I trust Mike Stelzner and the whole SME team,” said member Corinne Baldassano.

And when AI began reshaping marketing, we didn’t wait on the sidelines. We launched AI Explored — now one of the top AI business podcasts — published the AI Marketing Industry Report, and built AI Business World into Social Media Marketing World. The AI Business Society is the centerpiece of that commitment.
