🚀 HUGE WIN TODAY: Website Fully Live- & Created a Duplicate Clone Domain!

Hey AI Family! I had to share a major breakthrough I achieved today, but over the last few days, mostly thanks to persistence and some seriously good advice from Gemini who saved the day today. ChatGPT has been letting me down tremendously the last 48 hrs. Last night was really tuff. I stayed up till 4:00am debugging and trying to make a second domain/landing clone page work in a new sophisticated platform that is not plug and play and has a very technical UI space.

I officially cloned my main subscription -landing page and copied my HTML off from my main site to a 100% free, unlimited, and fully scalable new platform. This is HUGE...with Savings! NO FEES, NO TOKENS, NO CREDITS, NO MONTHLY recurring AI FEES. I feel like i cheated! ha-ha!—it frees me from hundreds of dollars and maybe thousands for me in the future. I want to scale without the big overhead. I iterate and run my AI work like I do project management and construction. If we can save a nickel, PMs surely know how to do it!

I can't believe the things I'm doing with vibe coding, MVP's and designing landing pages and drip email automation, that will have strong conversion, building my social media funnel for my AI future empire.

So much work needs to be done. Some days, I go crazy and go to sleep upset cuz things consistently always go wrong with this tech and things seem to always get screwed up.. That's the real truth. It's not pretty most days.

Some days I have big losses and lose a lot of time and other days like today are huge, big wins. When you grind, you are going to lose family time, but I'm investing my time in building an ecosystem and infrastructure, not just a product. That's a huge difference. Don't lose focus of your overall homogenous vision. Don't get so caught up in the creation of your single product. Focus on building systems and building your social media content. My philosophy is PROGRESS over PRECISION.

I am beginning to obtain the serious knowledge to rinse and repeat things now at level 2. So now I, figured out not only to scale my vision, but my arsenal of AI tools are coming together. I'm still in the conceptual development phase of things and todays win gives me hope to continue!

What I Learned recently is that: I'm behaving like a DevOps Type! According to what my AI Tommy said from Chat GPT! LOL.. That was funny!

I was told the work I was doing wasn't just "coding" but DevOps (Development Operations). I spent the last few days debugging the pipeline that gets the code from one location- html raw code to other multiple platforms. Keep in mind I'm just a 52-year-old Dinosaur with a construction /architecture background who knew nothing about vibe coding before the AI 3-day bootcamp.

In the last few weeks, I spent like 120 hours working hard, grinding, since the boot camp finished recently. I personally feel that when I make the 1st sale through my new AI Architecture and Ecosystem, I'm creating that's when I will have escalated to level 3. So, I'm definitely not there yet and realistically maybe a few months away.

Nevertheless, it's getting more real than ever, as I inch my way forward, through long cumbersome aggravating hours, and really tough persistent grinding. I didn't even go to have thanksgiving with my family and YES, I was sad and borderline depressed that evening, and I started focusing on my "WHY" the way Dean taught us! That was so important.

Folks, You are all going to have more bad days than good but keep grinding and stay focused with your AI business startups and small goals. Keep going to the Gym and keep pumping. Some of you might not ever become body builders but many of you can look amazing and have a great body to show for it... That is the point in why we are sacrificing and doing what we are doing in learning Artificial Intelligence systems. We are making the world a better place with our knowledge, AI consulting and products and technical know-how. We are visionaries and leaders who will lead and not follow as I was taught in the Marines.

Last night and this morning I finalized so many technical issues that you guys might face one day:

The DNS Nightmare: I had to connect the Domain Name System again on the new platform from my registrar (TMD Hosting) to my new hosting Sass platform. That was tricky, but we got my domain URL working perfectly. (Finally).. Woof!

2. I learned the Continuous Deployment process by linking my code repository files on GitHub directly to my hosting platforms. Inserting HTML files into my GitHub Repos, keeping a small warm level of confidence. The days are over for me when I was using the Cpanel for 15 years from TMD hosting. So old and antiquated. I saw today the real difference in a platform that is state of the art tech ready for AI agents and gosh a million other things.

3.Learning how to use higher end Sass (Software as a Service) type key platforms for scaling up-developer type stuff and I' m just an average Joe with no coding experience doing what the pros do somedays. Can't believe it!

The New Tech Stack I Built (100% Free):

Hosting/Deployment:
Code Storage: GitHub
Domain Management: TMD Hosting
Code Creation: We started with Landing AI (for the initial template), but I'm now transitioning to Silex (a free, unrestricted drag-and-drop editor) to build my future unlimited landing pages.

If you are thinking of moving your site from a paid builder to save money, it's totally possible. It was tough, but now I have an unlimited, professional system for launching every split test and landing page I can design.

Cheers to savings, rinse and repeat and better control! 🥂
