Hi, I’m Khizer.

TL;DR:
I help you stay ahead of AI and show you how to actually use it at work.
I’m Head of Marketing at Superhuman AI, the world’s biggest AI newsletter, where I took the newsletter from 150k to 1M+ readers.
On LinkedIn, I share AI tools, tutorials, and real-world use cases to help you work smarter.

Longer version (for the curious ones):
I’m the Head of Marketing at Superhuman AI, the largest AI newsletter on the internet. When I joined, we had 150,000 readers, now we’re at over 1 million and still growing.

My mission is simple: help you stay ahead in AI.

Every week, I share:
→ Practical AI tools & how to use them
→ AI tutorials & workflow breakdowns
→ Real use cases for professionals
→ Tips on automating tasks & making better decisions with AI

Beyond Superhuman, I’ve scaled multiple newsletters across different niches, from personal growth to SaaS, with subscriber bases ranging from 500K to over 2M.

I’ve spent $10M+ running paid ads (mostly Meta) across media, eCommerce, and lead gen, and I specialize in newsletter growth.

If you’re building a newsletter, or want to work smarter with AI, not just read about it, you’ll like what I share.

And if you’re a brand looking to get in front of thousands of people actively exploring AI, I also collaborate. Hit me up.

Claude Code will probably make 50,000 people millionaires. If not more.

Not because it's magic.

But because most developers won't bother learning it properly.

They'll try it once. Hit a wall. Move on.

Meanwhile, the ones who actually master it are shipping products in days that used to take months.

My team has put together every resource you need to get dangerous with Claude Code:

> 4 comprehensive courses 
> 7 battle-tested GitHub repos 
> 6 YouTube tutorials from builders actually using it 
> 6 creators worth following 
> 6 newsletters to stay sharp

This isn't theory. It's the exact stack people are using to build real products right now.

The gap between "I've heard of Claude Code" and "I ship with Claude Code" is about 2 weeks of focused learning.

Most won't put in the work.
That's your edge.

EDIT: You can get your Claude Code Resources + 5 more resources on AI Agents here -

Damn — the founder of Claude Code just dropped his entire workflow.

His 13-step system is worth trying: 

Before we begin my team has built an ultimate Claude Code guide that can help you ship 10X faster. 

Get it here:
https://lnkd.in/dYFtfK6U

1/ Parallel Terminal Sessions 

He runs 5 Claudes simultaneously in his terminal. Tabs numbered 1-5. System notifications alert him when any Claude needs input. While one waits, he's working with another.

2/ Web + Mobile Parallelization 

On top of local sessions, he runs 5-10 more Claudes on claude .ai/code. He hands off local sessions to web using &, teleports back and forth with --teleport, and even kicks off sessions from his phone each morning to check in later.

3/ Model Choice: Opus 4.5 with Thinking Always

Yes, it's bigger and slower than Sonnet. But you steer it less and it handles tools better — making it faster in practice. Less babysitting, more shipping.

4/ Shared CLAUDE md 

The entire team shares a single CLAUDE md file, checked into git. Every time Claude does something wrong, they document it. Claude learns from collective mistakes. Compounding knowledge.

5/ GitHub Integration with @claude 

During code review, he tags @claude on PRs to update CLAUDE. md automatically. Uses the Claude Code GitHub action (/install-github-action). Their version of Compounding Engineering.

6/ Plan Mode First Most sessions start in Plan mode (shift+tab twice). 

He iterates back and forth until the plan is solid. Then switches to auto-accept edits mode and Claude usually one-shots the execution. A good plan is everything.

7/ Slash Commands for Inner Loops 

Every workflow he repeats multiple times a day becomes a slash command. Checked into git at .claude/commands/. His /commit-push-pr runs dozens of times daily. Saves prompting. Claude can use them too.

8/ Subagents for Common Workflows 

He uses dedicated subagents: code-simplifier cleans up after Claude finishes, verify-app has detailed testing instructions, code-architect for design decisions. Stored in .claude/agents/. Automation for the 80% of PR work.

9/ PostToolUse Hooks for Formatting 

A hook auto-formats Claude's code after every edit. Claude usually gets it 90% right — the hook catches the last 10% before CI complains later.

10/ Smart Permissions (Not --dangerously-skip-permissions) 

Instead of skipping all permissions, he uses /permissions to pre-allow specific safe commands. Checked into .claude/settings. json and shared with the team. Security without friction.

After 5 years in sales, I moved to marketing.

Frankly, I love it. I learned marketing by starting 2 startups and side hustles. 

Then, I found my Ikagai: Growth Marketing. I became Head of Growth at Userpilot (Grew it to 7-figures and beyond). And then, I moved to become an advisor.

Now, I have grown several tech/SaaS companies from 0 to 8 figures. Currently, I lead paid social and growth initiatives at 3 different D2C tech companies.

At 10, they put me in a box. "He's a B student."

At 18, they put me in a box. "He can't speak English well."

At 23, they put me in a box. "He can only do sales, not marketing."

At 30, they put me in a box. "He can't lead a team."

Now I'm 36.

I create A+ ads that scale. I lead a 6-person agency team. I manage 15+ clients, crushing their marketing goals.

People will always try to box you in.

When they do, let it fuel your inner belief and prove them wrong.

Scaling Brands from $3Mn to $25Mn with Meta Ads — Ads Nerd — I Create Un-Ignorable Ads To Reduce CAC

I hate being wrong.

Yesterday, a founder changed my mind about performance and ads.

He built a 7-figure brand without virality. No viral posts. No paid traffic blitz.

Just word of mouth.

The common thread? Storytelling.

He gave customers such an elevated experience they felt guilty NOT sharing it.

Most brands chase clicks and conversions. They forget the best growth lever is a customer who can't stop talking about you.

Performance ads amplify what already works. But if your product doesn't 
create stories worth repeating, you're just buying attention that disappears.

Here's what I learned:
Give people an experience so good they have to tell someone.

That's how brands are built.

Performance is the booster. Storytelling is the foundation.

I changed my mind on brand vs performance.

Turns out, storytelling comes first. Everything else follows.

Thanks to Robbie Bent for this AMAZING session. Othership is indeed of one of my favorite companies.

My 2026 tool that you can't miss as an agency is AdManage.ai.

I simply can't live without it.

How I turn one customer interview into 30+ ad variations in 30 Minutes.

I manage $100M+ in ad spend.

Here's what most brands get wrong: they create content once and use it once.

I do the opposite.

One customer interview becomes 30+ authentic ads. All in 30 minutes.

Here's how: I send customers a Riverside link. They record on their phone. I get studio-quality footage instantly.

Then Riverside’s Magic Clips feature automatically generates short-form clips. Customer testimonials. Before-and-after stories. Objection handlers. Product demos in real life.

All ad-ready. All authentic. All from one recording.

No editor needed. No file mess. Just a library of content that converts.

People crave authenticity. AI-generated content feels fake. Real customers telling real stories? That's what performs.

This is how I scale ad accounts without burning through creative budgets.
