/goal skill from Nate's latest Video
Does anyone know where I can find the /goal skill Nate used in his latest Video? Did he build that skill himself, or can I find it somewhere else?
One Time Fee or Monthly Recurring for Website Builds? Need Advice from Active Sellers
I am currently speaking with leads and the service I get asked for the most is website builds. I am trying to figure out the best way to package and price this, and I would love input from those of you who are actively selling. Right now I am considering two models: Option 1: One and Done. I charge a one time fee for the build. I walk the client through getting their own domain. They handle renewals and management after that. No ongoing work for me. Option 2: Recurring (Monthly Only)No upfront fee, only a monthly charge. I purchase and hold the domain, or manage it for them. I handle renewals, hosting, and any small updates. It brings recurring revenue but adds management complexity. For those of you who have actually sold website builds to small businesses, which model has worked better for you? Did you start with one and switch to the other? Any pricing or retention insights you can share would be very appreciated. Thank you, just trying to learn from people who have been in the trenches.

I would say this also heavily depends on where you are at in business. Think about if you actually have the capacity to maintain multiple websites. If you do decide on a retainer model there needs to be a contract that clearly states what is considered "maintanance". If thats not clearly defined you can get roped up into a lot of extra work that is not worth the monthly retainer. What I would personally do, and what is something that has worked for other people that started with this exact same business is, doing a combination of both. You agree on a one time fee to build the website and offer a monthly retainer as an optional package. That retainer would be somewhat smal and would only include maintanace which is cleary defined. Any additional improvements to the websites would be handeled as seperate projects for a seperate one time fee.
One thing I've realized is that AI doesn't play nice when you say DON'T.
I mean, how many times have you told AI not to do something, then a minute later seen it do that exact thing again? If I had to guess, a lot. But here's what I've figured out. When you write "don't" or "do not," the AI can easily read that as "do," which means it skips right past the "don't." This is why I avoid negatives and use positives like this: - "Output plain text only" - "Respond in 2 sentences max" - "Limit answers to features and support topics" - "Answer only from the provided context. If it's not there, say 'I don't have that information.'" - "Respond in Japanese" - "Begin your response with the first data field" These avoid the main issue of the AI misunderstanding you, while making sure it actually does what it's supposed to. Try this next time you're about to write a hard rule. You might get surprised.

@Chris Jadama I mean you hear it all the time, the best way to learn quick is to fail forward. And it's true, if you fail fast and learn from your mistakes you're gonna learn quick.
Hey everyone, I’m Rico 👋
I just joined the AI Automation Society and I’m starting the 7-Day AI Challenge today. I’m mainly here to learn how to build practical AI automations that can actually save time, improve workflows, and maybe turn into useful products/services. I’m especially interested in using AI for SEO, lead generation, content research, and business automation. For Day 1, my goal is simple: understand the basics, finish the task, and not overthink it too much. Excited to learn with everyone here. If anyone else is starting the challenge today too, let’s connect.

Welcome Rico, exiting step! I think your philosophy is exactly right, just put your head down and put in the work. Things are gonna be overwhelming in the beginning but you just need to get started and things are gonna work out if you keep at it.
Most people overcomplicate prompting. The real leverage is simpler.
After working a lot with LLMs, I’ve noticed something consistent: Better outputs rarely come from “better wording”; they come from better structure and intent clarity. A few things that reliably improved results for me: - Start with clear context and a concrete goal, not just a role - Put relevant background first, question last, especially for long inputs - Make the task single-purpose (one prompt = one outcome) - Ask the model to clarify before answering if anything is missing - Define what “good” looks like upfront (constraints, tone, output shape) - Let it do a quick thinking pass before the final answer (approach first, then execution) One shift that made the biggest difference for me: Treating prompting less like "writing instructions" and more like designing the interaction flow. You don’t need perfect prompts, you need fewer ambiguities. Curious what’s been the biggest improvement in your own prompting?

@Ian Almasi This really depends whether the AI already has context or not. When context is already provided seperately I personally try to avoid anything that is longer than 3 sentences. If context isn't present the prompt usually ranges between 5-12 sentences I would say.

@John Mackenzie That totally makes sense! You're basically reaffirming if your definition of "good" is providing the output you intended right?
