Tomorrow at 8 pm UK I'm going live to show how I run my business on my own with AI staff, where each bot has one job and I check everything before it goes out. I'll go through what they do, what they cost, where it goes wrong and what still needs me. I'll also show you my communities and who they're for. There's live Q&A at the end. Fair warning, it's not pretty. I mostly just make content every day. I walked through the overview in a short video today, and tomorrow I'll go into much more detail. UK: Monday 2 November, 8 pm New York: Monday 2 November, 3 pm California: Monday 2 November, 12 pm Sydney: Tuesday 3 November, 7 am Add it to your calendar here What's the one job in your own business you'd hand to an AI first?

Since I turned Growth Boost on 48 hours ago, we've received 1 new member who promptly churned because he said he didn't like recurring subscriptions. Up until that point in time, we consistently got 2-3 new QUALIFIED members every day. Now mind you, those were free members, and we do not get a new paying member every day, so that is definitely something to take into consideration... If you were me, what would you do? Vote in the poll below, and share your comments as well. I'd love to hear what you think.

CLASSIFIEDS member @Des Dreckett is running a free live talk called The One-Person Band: How I Run a Business With AI Staff. If you work on your own and feel stretched thin, this is for you. There's also time for live Q&A at the end. Here's the reason why he's sharing: There's a lot of noise online about AI staff and one-person companies that run themselves, and most of it is hype or a screenshot with no detail. Des runs his own business this way every day, so this is a look behind the curtain at the real thing, including the parts that don't work. What Des will show: - The setup: how he runs his business through two chatbots, Grok and Claude, and what each one is for. - The tools they connect to: Brevo for email, Airtable for his database and VidIQ for YouTube research, and how he talks to all of them without opening most of the platforms. - What his AI staff handle day to day, and what he hands to them first if you're starting from scratch. - What it costs, where it goes wrong, and how he checks everything before it goes out. - What still needs a person. Des isn't promising an overnight business that runs itself. He's showing how he works and being straight about the limits. Who it's for: small business owners, creators, coaches and freelancers who work alone. Who it isn't for: anyone looking for an AI business that runs itself with no checking. When: - UK: Monday 2 November, 8pm GMT - New York: Monday 2 November, 3pm - California: Monday 2 November, 12pm - Sydney: Tuesday 3 November, 7am The replay will only be available inside his community The Content Revenue Lab, so make sure you attend live if you can. At the end, Des will also show you the communities he runs and who each one is for.

𝗧𝗟𝗗𝗥 - I rebranded Grok for Creators to AI Video Motion because so much of my own work is AI video that the old name no longer matched what I do. - I moved the price from $𝟱 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 $𝟰𝟳 𝗼𝗻𝗲-𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀. Existing members keep what they joined on. - The reason is payback speed. Skool needs its money back quickly on Growth Boost traffic, and a one-off gets it back on day one instead of over months. - I plan to start running ads, because at $47 the ad spend comes back much faster. I'm following Dan Harrison's model, which I know works. - Growth Boost has real problems, but I'd rather learn from the owners making it work than complain, so I'm copying the parts that fit. - This is my personal pivot, and it suits my situation. I'll share the results as they come in, including the bad ones. I'd put it at the top of the post, directly under the title, so people who only read the first few lines still get the point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This weekend I took my Grok for Creators community and started rebranding it to 𝗔𝗜 𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. New name, new images, new classroom. It's a pain, and there's still a lot to do, so this is a log rather than a result. 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗜𝗩𝗢𝗧 I realised I'm doing so much video work with AI that I'm not concentrating on one platform any more. Grok was on the door, but it wasn't what I was actually doing every day.

𝗪𝗛𝗬 $𝟰𝟳 𝗢𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗗 𝗢𝗙 $𝟱 𝗔 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗛 The success I've had with YouTube for Skool and Growth Boost made me look at the money differently. When Skool sends you traffic, they need their money back quickly, and a $5 monthly payment takes a long time to get there. 𝗔 𝗼𝗻𝗲-𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗲. I didn't decide this lightly. I saw Dan Harrison do it with his community and thought it was genius. He's just crossed $100k MRR, so it's a model I know works and can follow. At this price, I also intend to start running ads, because 𝗜 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿.
