Hollup!! In Paid Traffic Affiliate / Media Buying circles most of your time is spent building the same components that are involved in content marketing-text, audio, video, graphics, the last component is web design - which is a digital asset type Stephen doesn't really talk about, no probs.... But isn't innovation about novel ideas to use a piece of technology? As an example Amazon Cloud services which is an 80 billion dollar business was born from Amazon's need to create infrastructure for its e-commerce biz So my question is: CAN'T THIS same infrastructure and system be used to scale ad creation publishing and testing to hi heaven?! Because it doesn't matter if you "earn" distribution of "buy it", the prerequisite is the same you need to create and publish good content... This is not a debate about whether or not you should use advertising because there's money in organic content distribution as well as pay content distribution this is simply a question I am posing... Any paid traffic specialists here, esp. native ads?

If you're building a huge system to send cold DMs… but you haven’t even closed one manually ... stop. I’ve done this. Built the system before proving the offer. It felt productive… but it was just procrastination in disguise. Here’s my new rule...👉 If I haven’t closed 3 sales by hand, I don’t automate it. Automation is for scaling what already works....not fixing what doesn’t. Save your time. Test it manually. Then build around what’s proven. What’s something you automated too early?

New YouTube tutorial is live: learn how to build an AI-powered workflow that creates cinematic POV videos — and automatically posts them to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and more. 👉 Watch here: https://youtu.be/nZta8QqI-ko The automation uses OpenAI, Fal AI, Airtable, and a custom merge API inside n8n. It’s fully modular: edit titles, descriptions, and choose your video style POV, cinematic, or first-person. If it brings you value, a like on YouTube is always appreciated.

If you've gone through the classroom training then you've probably seen this post about how to hire an editor: https://www.skool.com/content-academy/how-i-hire-my-video-editors-the-hiring-funnel The strategy is solid but instead of using www.tally.so I wanted my leads to go straight into Airtable. So, I built the same exact form in Airtable and posted the link in a FB group. I got about 15-20 leads so overall the strategy worked and I highly recommend it. I even built myself a nice interface to view and manage those leads. If you have any questions let me know!

I admit it. I was falling behind on replying to all my Youtube comments. I know that engagement is important to keep the YT gods happy but I just couldn't keep up. So, I built an automation with Make that helps me stay on track! 1. Watches for any new comments added to any video on my channel 2. Uses ChatGPT to write an appropriate response and logs it into a Google spreadsheet 3. Sends me an email, letting me know there's a new comment to moderate 4. I open the spreadsheet and approve/disapprove the AI written reply 5. Approved replies get auto-posted to Youtube! I have plans to expand this to IG, LinkedIn and other platforms. Check out the screenshot to see a part of the automation. Let me know if you have questions and I hope you found this helpful.
