Is there a work-around for not burning through calls with Apify?. I keep burning through my monthly quota in less than a week ($19/plan). Even when I raise the cap to $50 its still burns thru it in 1-2 days. Do I just bite the bullet and go for the $199/month plan?. My concern is that with my usage I would just burn through that before the month ends as well?. There doesn't seem to be much difference in the prices either per compute unit per plan.

Someone pitched me a $10,000 email system. Primary inbox every time. He wouldn't say how it worked. So I went to one of his emails in Gmail, three dots, Show original, and read the HTML instead of the email. About 300 words of hidden text, styled so no human ever sees it. Plain, boring, on the same topic as the email. Gmail reads it and files the email as personal instead of promotional. Then I had Claude Code pull apart every email the big marketers had sent me. Same pattern, over and over. Nobody's talking about it. Building the system was the actual work. The text has to be different for every email or you've handed Google a fingerprint. One block per email, never two, or a normal email suddenly looks manipulated. And the hiding has to survive every email client on earth, Outlook needs its own rule. I now have a skill that writes the block and injects it for me. GoHighLevel, Kit and Listmonk each needed their own process. Whole thing in the new video, with the exact hiding treatment and example passages to download. Watch it here. The guy who pitched me charges $10,000 to install this. Watch it, then go sell it to your clients.

I am so excited to share my passions for AI automation with you. I created this community for actual business owners that want to start implementing AI into their businesses to scale faster, with less staff. This community will NOT be free for long. I will be adding my automations piece-by-piece. These are the SAME automations I use in my Inc 5000 agency that enable us to scale to $700K/mo with few staff. Now some next steps... 1. INTRODUCE YOURSELF in the comments on this post. 2. ASK FOR HELP if you need it by posting in the 'Automation Help' category. Include loom videos. My team and the community will try to help. BEFORE asking for help, search for your issue in the search bar. 3. GIVE VALUE. Help others if they ask. Share your own automation templates and walkthroughs. 4. BLUEPRINTS are available inside the Classroom and separated by use case (Sales, content, etc). You may need to pay to unlock certain modules. 5. WAITING is available for our AI Automation Insider Ultra program. Details coming soon. Welcome to the AI Automation Insiders!

The n8n version of my Instagram DM system still works. I just don't run it anymore. Now a cron job on my Hermes agent does the whole loop. Pulls the leads, researches each profile, writes the DM, sends in small batches, then comes back and works the replies. The piece that made it possible is a $5 a month tool that gives me DM endpoints Instagram and LinkedIn don't offer. It keeps the accounts logged in too. One of mine has held for over a month without a reconnect. Every proposed reply lands in my social app with a confidence score. I send it, edit it, or skip it. The edits train the agent. Once the scores climb I'll let it send anything above 80 on its own. I walk through all of it in the new video, including the send limits that keep the account alive.

Everyone's showing off their Meta ads MCP server right now. Cool. Plug one in and ask it to shut off the one creative that's bleeding money. That's about where it stops. Claude Code can run your Meta ads. Here's what it actually takes. A Meta developer account and the fully tooled Graph API, so it can launch campaigns, kill specific creatives and figure out which copy is working. It's not as simple as connecting an MCP. I built that. End to end. It builds the audiences, builds the creatives, researches and writes the copy, tests everything, optimizes everything. And when I first started using it, it made a ton of mistakes. A ton. It was pushing changes straight into my ads manager. So now it pushes everything to GitHub first and my team reviews it before anything goes live. I feel like they're not doing it. Different problem. Here's what I've learned building it. -Start with retargeting. It's the easiest thing for the system to get right. Someone books a call, hit them with testimonials and social proof. Cold is the hardest: new audience, new creatives, every decision from scratch. -The bottleneck isn't making creatives. Mine will spit out 50 for one campaign. The problem was the budget to test them all, and a way to give each one its own ad set so they spend equally and you can see which one works. -Write the rules before you trust it. How does it read the data? Hyros says one thing, Meta says another, which wins? Does it judge a creative on a 30-day window or 90? New campaign, how much budget? A webinar campaign, a call funnel and retargeting all want different setups. I had Claude map out every rule and edge case. Go through its decisions one by one. Say why each one is right or wrong. That's how it gets trained. Even so, some of my rules are probably still wrong. There are so many buttons and edge cases that one wrong click lands you in a trap. So the rule set gets updated every week. And if you'd rather not build all that yourself, mine's already built.
