how to actually level up in ai automation society (without being that guy)
*shoutout to @Titus Blair for the inspo on this one so you just joined ai automation society. you see the 100+ n8n templates, 190k members, nate’s perfect hair in the banner... and your brain goes: “ok cool but uh… what do i do now?” same. skool feels weird at first because it’s not tiktok, it’s not discord, and it’s not a promo feed for your latest “dm me for details” offer. here’s the game: - you level up by being useful - you’re useful when people like what you share - people like what you share when it actually saves them time, money, or brainpower that’s literally it. the xp here is “i helped another human.” the real “secret sauce” everyone thinks they need: - the craziest custom n8n workflow - a 40 step funnel - a notion dashboard that looks like nasa mission control nah. you grow in this community by doing something way less sexy: - show up to give, not to farm. things that work stupidly well here: - answering “basic” questions without being condescending - posting your tiny wins, not just your giant case studies - sharing the one automation that saved you 3 hours this week - dropping your actual workflow screenshot plus a 2 line explanation - owning your L’s. “i broke a client’s crm with this node, here’s what i learned.” when people feel like “oh wow this person actually cares if i win,” the likes, dms, and levels follow. how the level system really feels from the inside see that little number next to your name? that’s basically your “i’m useful here” score. you don’t increase it by: - commenting “fire bro” on 47 posts - pasting the same generic advice over and over - dropping links to your youtube on every thread you increase it by leaving digital breadcrumbs of value everywhere you go. good gut check: “if future me was scrolling this group 3 months from now, would this still help me?” if yes, post it. if no, save it for your private journal lol. what great posts look like in this group
