This Week: Why I Wouldn’t Change A Thing

I want to do a deep dive into my start on youtube and social media. I want to tell you exactly what to expect and how you can achieve the same results.

The Common Over Promising Creator

You’ve seen the videos, I sure as hell have. The ones that promise you blowing up overnight if you do their one simple hack, or buy their course. You try what they say with no results. Well to me, that kind of half effort was not something I wanted to do. If I was going to start a digital presence, across social media, I wanted to be proud of what I had done and follow the advice of those who had done it as well.

No Shortcuts. No Easy Way Out.

In the last 3 months, I have posted nearly 55 YouTube Shorts and 13 Long Format videos. The key to YouTube is that you just need to keep posting and keep improving every time. Maybe it’s how you edit, maybe it’s how you talk, maybe it’s your content or your animations.

Just keep posting and keep improving.

Youtube is a platform that has the potential to have real, long term, lasting impact on your life. If you keep posting consistently, and keep improving, eventually it will become your full time job.

It sounds like a lot, and it is, you really have to love it, but the upside is that I talk about what I want and I get to help people. AI and Automation along with monetizing a digital presence are my bread and butter, and I give all my knowledge, tools and templates out for free.

However, for the rest of my digital ecosystem, I did use a few cheats.

But What Was My Advantage

At this point you all know I’m bullish on Pipedream. I also use Make as well but not nearly as much.

(Those are my affiliate links btw, if you sign up with them you get a fat discount and I get a little kickback to create more and more automations. I spend so much of my own money on all of this experimenting and building that it would help me out a lot if you subscribe with those links.)

Anyway, I will say that automating my social media posting and youtube comment responses was an absolute game changer. After a few weeks of posting multiple times a day automatically, im starting to see the beginning of traction. A few followers every day, a few comments, a few likes.

This is just the beginning, these automations will run forever. And if they ever break, I build a new one thats even better. So I urge you, if you are serious about building a digitial brand and don’t have time to spend on all of the platforms, automate them.

I give out all my templates for free, I made videos on how to do it, I give you a fat discount on the platforms. There’s really no excuse not to do it. I promise you, what I’ve created is the best power/money ratio out there. Other creators claim a lot, but I promise you you’re not getting the full picture.

Help Me Help You!

Next week I’ll be back with a vengeance on the videos. This week I needed to move halfway across the world and then back again so it has been hectic.

That being said I have really leveled up with my knowledge so expect a TON of value incoming to your inbox in the next few weeks.

Always remember: I really want feedback. Seriously. So respond to this email, DM me on instagram, or DM me on X. I really value your input, and any automations you’d like me to make would be fun for me and I’d love to help all of you out.

My Favorite AI Fact Of The Week:
