Specifics about Notion Vs Airtable for automations
Hello everyone, this is my first post here and a question that has greater implications than I expected. As I am just starting to learn automation from Stephen one question got bigger as I tried to advance in the exercises. (thank you for the attention in the chat mr!) Should I use Notion or Airtable to run my automations? Currently I'm a partner in a digital marketing agency and we specialize in the health care services industry. We focused a lot on AI the last 12 months and managed to build some very useful tools for content, management, strategy, sales and customer support. We use no automations except running AI in their native UI (claude, gpt, midjourney etc...) Even so we managed to push out more than 200 content pieces a week divided between 7-10 clients. These range from Scientific Articles to IG Reels. My goal now is to learn automation and save time money and human mistakes in this whole system. In our team we have: -Copywriter -Ads manager -Video editor -Designer -Digital Strategist -Project Manager -Product Owner -AI Developer -Public Relations Agents + Other on demand freelancers for project specific tasks ( customer support, SEO, e-commerce launch...) To assist all of them we have 2 full time VAs just to copy and paste items, notify people, update records, link database items and many more of these micro tasks that take time from the senior staff. This whole thing is run inside notion. My databases there store everything we have made since the beginning. Everyone knows how to work with the tool and bringing people in is quick and easy since notion is more widely know\used in my country (Brazil). Now I finally get to the point of this post: - Changing from notion to airtable requires a major investment - I have no experience with automations outside of AI - My understanding of the platforms is limited Can you guys help me understand what each one is capable of? I'm trying to get a clear picture to focus my learning and investments.

@Shay Trequesser One of the things I really love about the KEDB is how much I learned about Airtable and basic automations. I'm no expert, but I'm able to at least customize my database and add the automations I need to make my workflow easier/less time consuming.

@Shay Trequesser I waited to respond as I was still getting used to Notion. I’m still figuring out ways to maximize both but here’s how I’m moving forward. Airtable is reserved for projects I am following through with. Paired with KEDB, this is the ultimate project management solution and the automations keeps it perfectly organized with no time needed. Notion is the second brain. I journal all my ideas, outline blog posts, and any task that involves writing. I feel there’s a huge benefit to using both.

@Gavin J Gallagher one strategy that helped me was to record my intro immediately after I was done with the episode recording.

@Laszlo Horvath it can take a while to narrow down. I’ve found making my own content helps me find what I enjoy working on most.

Hey @Santosh Budha! 👋 The one thing to remember is how valuable the first seconds of your video are. Are you sure this is more attention grabbing then the intro of your content? I'd love to provide more detailed feedback - would you be able to tell me: What is the intro for/how will you be using it? What is shown after the intro? Do you have a link to previous videos as a reference?

@Santosh Budha thanks for the info! I noticed neither of those examples have an intro. They jump right into what’s going on which is a very effective hook. The reason I ask about what is coming after your intro is to see if your intro goes with the rest of the content. I get wanting to play with pacing to help get the audience engaged, but here’s the thing: 1. It’s all stock video - YouTube hates this 2. Most people will skip this intro before getting into your video 3. The best way to see what works is by trying it If you like the intro go for it! Put it for 3-5 videos and compare to those that don’t have an intro.
YouTube Short Thumbnails Feedback
I'm looking for feedback on my YouTube Short thumbnails. Some question ideas I'd be happy to get answered (feel free to pick any): - What do you think these videos are about? - Do these thumbnails grab your attention so much, that you would click on them? - What do you like about them? - What do you don't like about them? - Which one is the best, and which one is the worst? Any feedback is much appreciated! 🙏

@Stephen G. Pope I’ve heard you can cheat a thumbnail by making the first frame of the video a thumbnail - but I haven’t tried it
