I recently won a hackathon by building a social media content system, and I want to share a valuable insight about building systems like this. I've been teaching AI automations for a while, and I've seen beginners make the same mistake over and over: they start building before they know what they're trying to build. Besides my extensive experience with n8n automations and Notion, I believe what truly helped me win this hackathon was dedicating significant time to planning the solution. I spent 6 days building in total, but 1.5 days were just spent planning and making small tests. I used Excalidraw to draft the entire concept, including ideas and the entire data flow. Click here to see the full diagram. The final workflow was not exactly as planned but was very close. You can find me on LinkedIn. I'll be happy to connect. Happy holidays! P.S. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments.

This one’s a little different. At this point, a lot of you have learned how to build AI automations, and now you’re asking the big questions: - How do I use these skills in the real world? - How do I monetize them? In today’s video, I break down the exact thought process I had when I was in your shoes, the different paths you can take, and how to approach it safely without falling for the “get rich quick” hype. I told you guys I was going to start sharing more business-focused content and more of my own journey, and this is a step in that direction. Would love your feedback on this video and what else you’d like to see in this style. If the PDF isn't working for you, make a copy of the document here

In this video, I walk you through a ready-to-use n8n automation that lets you post to Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, and YouTube—all from one place. Simply provide your content, add a caption, sign into your accounts, and you’re ready to go—no messy HTTP requests or complicated setups. I’ll even give you the exact template for free, so all you need to do is connect your Google Sheets account. Plus, when you pair this with an automation that creates content for you, you can grow your audience on autopilot and keep your channels active without lifting a finger.

I do have a quick question, which one of the AI automation templates should I begin with if my goal is to generate leads for (roofing, plumbing, home renovations, concrete work, HVAC, and Electrical work) in my local area/city? i saw a bunch of different templates but do not know which one to start with for the goal i want to reach which is "generate good leads for local service based businesses". i am very glad to be in this group and to go from newbie $0 to $6k per month is my goal.
