Someone DMed me: "I'd love to start automating but I don't know how to code." Neither did I when I started. HERE'S WHAT I ACTUALLY NEEDED TO LEARN: 1. HOW TO COPY/PASTE API credentials (5 minutes) 2. HOW TO TEST a workflow with sample data (10 minutes) 3. HOW TO READ basic JSON (20 minutes) 4. HOW TO USE workflow automation tools (2 hours of playing around) That's it. That's the "technical knowledge" required to build document automation workflows that clients pay $1,200-2,500 for. MY FIRST CLIENT WORKFLOW (zero code): 1. Gmail Trigger - "when email arrives with PDF attachment" 2. PDF Vector Parse Document - "convert PDF to text" 3. PDF Vector Extract Structured Document - "pull out invoice data using this schema" 4. Google Sheets - "add row with extracted data" 5. Gmail - "send confirmation email" NO CODE WRITTEN. Just connected pre-built blocks and configured settings. THE ONLY "CODE" I USE: JSON Schemas (which is just describing what data you want): { "invoice_number": "string", "total_amount": "number", "due_date": "string" } That's not programming. That's filling out a form. TOOLS THAT NEED ZERO CODING: - Make.com - Drag and drop visual builder - Zapier - Step-by-step wizard interface - n8n - Node-based visual workflow (slightly more technical but still no code) ACTUAL "TECHNICAL SKILLS" THAT MATTER: 1. Problem identification - Seeing document pain points 2. Process mapping - Understanding current vs automated flow 3. Logical thinking - If this, then that 4. Testing mindset - Try it, see what breaks, fix it 5. Client communication - Explaining what you built Notice how "write Python code" isn't on that list? THE FIRST WORKFLOW I EVER BUILT: Time: 47 minutes (including watching a YouTube tutorial) Client paid: $800 My "coding": Changed email addresses and spreadsheet IDs in pre-built templates Resources that helped me: - Make.com templates - n8n workflows

I need to share something that's been bothering me for months. I've been part of 10+ automation groups. Posted hundreds of times trying to help people. And I keep getting the same result: deleted posts, warnings, and eventually... banned. Here's what gets me removed: When someone asks "How do I find my first client?" and I share the EXACT messages that worked for me - DELETED. When someone struggles with pricing and I show my actual invoices with real numbers - WARNING. When someone needs templates and I share my Google Drive folder freely - BANNED. The reasons they give? "Too promotional." "Against community guidelines." "Not appropriate content." But here's what I think is really happening: These group owners built their communities to sell courses, not create success stories. They want you consuming content forever, not competing in the marketplace. They're protecting their client base, not helping you build yours. Think about it - if everyone in their 50,000 person group actually started landing clients, who would buy their next course? Who would pay for their "advanced masterclass"? Who would stay dependent on them? That's why I created AI First Client Formula with different rules: ✅ Share everything - templates, contracts, exact pricing ✅ Show real numbers - what you charge, what you earned ✅ Help others compete - even if they become your competition ✅ Celebrate client wins - the bigger the better ✅ No gatekeeping - everything free and open I WANT you to take my methods. I WANT you to land clients. Hell, I want you to charge more than me and build something bigger. Because here's the truth: The automation market is massive. We could have 10,000 successful builders and barely scratch the surface. There's room for everyone. But some groups would rather keep you as a student than see you as a peer. Not here. This is for builders who want to BUILD. For people ready to earn, not just learn. If you've ever had your helpful post deleted, been warned for sharing too much value, or felt like groups want to keep you small - you belong here.
