Hey Architects! A while back I shared how I hit 20K followers in 6 days with faceless TikTok videos. Well, things have escalated a bit and I wanted to share for insights and hopefully some inspiration and to learn what's working for everyone here! Here's where I stand now after just shy of 90 days: - 68.5K followers - 1.2M likes - 33M views - $10.1K earned through the Creator Rewards Program - 6 videos with over 1M views (out of 90 total) - Sold a $17 animation guide that’s already brought in $520 So things are going pretty well with this overall. It’s been a fun ride and I have tried to lean into having fun with it as Stephen always tries to emphasize. So what’s working? - Quality Wins. Always. My best videos are killer animations on fun topics. I spend way too much time editing to make them visually engaging—quicker cuts, smooth movements, and zero fluff. It’s paid off. (I’ve included my favorite video I’ve made so far 2.2 million on this one) - Ask and You Shall Receive. I’ve started engaging with my audience more—asking them what they like, or if they complain, asking how to make it better. People love telling you what to do or where they think you’re not doing well (and honestly, it’s pretty helpful). - Automation, but Not Too Much. Sure, I’ve automated some stuff—prompt creation, image generation—but the final edit I do myself. Because the “human touch” matters with ensuring the cuts are at gust the right time and the automation are on point. Outsourcing is on my radar, but for me quality > speed. What’s not working? 1. Subscriptions Are a Bust (So Far). I tried launching a subscription. Zero bites. Moving on. 2. Dropshipping and Collabs? Not Yet. These ideas are still on the table, but I haven’t gotten to them yet. Right now, I’m focused on the videos and refining what works. 3. Dips Are Inevitable. There were weeks where my views were a lot lower, and I thought I’d lost my touch. But then I’d have an idea that I thought was ‘ok’ and create the video and it would do well, it’s all just part of the game.

In this video I show you how to build a FULLY 100% AI automated content system to scale your content creation, product and distribution process. We'll build the system using Make, Airtable, ChatGPT, Placid and more. Get the Make & Airtable templates in the → No-Code Architects

I wanted to thank everyone for their support in the Skool Games. I had a lot of supportive messages, DMs, cheers, comments and congratulations. And many of you joined the No-Code Architects—so you literally made it happen. Not me. Since yesterday when it ended, I've been thinking a lot. And I'll tell you what I've been feeling. Sure I'm excited, but I also fear loss, what if I can't keep it up? Why did some ask for a refund? Why have some already cancelled? How can I make people more happy? How do I keep growing, more, more, more! What if this all falls apart? It's a hole you can't fill. But I've gained just enough experience over the past 5 years (after selling my previous company), to keep a level head about this. Over this time I've had some extreme highs and lows, huge successes and multiple total breakdowns. It took longer than I wanted, but I've learned all the ups and downs were just a result of losing focus, getting ahead of myself, getting a quick win and wanting MORE. Not being OK with where I was, not forging through during a loss. Was 4th place in the June Skool Games a success? absolutely, but it's a just a second in time. If you zoom out it's just a tiny seed that will take time to grow into a something great. Nothing grand has changed in this past month. You have to be patient. It's not about more, more, more, now, now, now. More subscribers, more sales, more success... but instead, it's about the RIGHT mission and vision, serving the RIGHT people and taking the RIGHT actions. Slowly, overtime, one step in front of the other. Yes I'm working hard to improve as quickly as I can. Yes I'm working hard to make the best experience I can for my clients, this community and the No-Code Architects. But it all takes time, the good things take time. That's why digging into a mission and vision is so important—because its bigger than you, it gives you time. It gives you success over any failure given enough time. You can always fall back on the vision when things are going the wrong way.

In this video I show you how to develop an Airtable system and Make automation to easily hotswap AI prompts and models in your automations WITHOUT having to adjust the automation itself. This is huge once you have a lot of automations and want to update them all at once. You can also set up a backup AI platform in case another platform goes down -- so that your automations keep running without issue. Like if ChatGPT does down, you can use Claude or Perplexity instead AUTOMATICALLY.
