I think it's a group has a lot of potential and I'm super excited to join it and look at the content and contribute. But my main concern would be is when will this group change from an open platform to a subscribed secondary platform? I'm just hoping the administrators can lay out their plan here so we can understand when we can expect the content to change from open content and open community based contributions to a "service" premium.. I'm only asking this because this is a trend that's been going on for the last 24 months and I just want to have my expectations realistic in what this community will be and how much I should contribute to it..

@Will V Good question. We have no plans to make this a fully paid community. Skool recently a "Freemium" pricing model for communities, and I switched this community to that model a few weeks ago. We'll always keep the free access for access to the forums, and will likely always have at least a few free calls a month. But, we will have paid calls, courses, products only available to paid tier members.

I'm building ffmpeg-micro, it allows you to do video editing from your N8N or Make workflows. It's pretty much the cheapest way to do N8N + FFMpeg without running your own infra.

@Luke Phillip It's an API on top of ffmpeg, a powerful video editing tool. So you can do things like combine clips (with transitions), add transitions, add/remove audio, text overlays, crop, trim, resize, etc.

Questions

TikTok Ads setup for my website

Has anybody been running TikTok ads? I'm trying to get my TikTok ads account set up with their pixel tracking so I can do website conversion targeting. But the whole thing seems overwhelming! I'm trying to have ChatGPT walk me through it but it's still a lot. Has anybody done this before? Should I just put it my code using their code snippet? What's the best way to manage this?

I would recommend not putting any pixel / tracking snippets directly in your code. I'd suggest using either Google Tag Manager (GTM) or something like Segment. These are basically third-party tools where you set up a single "container" in your code and then you use them to set up integrations with different ad platforms, analytics platforms, etc. I'd recommend GTM, it's free. But there is a bit of a learning curve, and there is still some coding involved (using this feature they have called the "data layer"). If you can join our next group call, we can talk a bit about it. I may also do a video on it in the next few weeks.
