what's going on guys if you've been following my videos up until now you'll know that I love make. com it's made me about a million dollars in the last 12 months uh it's afforded me a really cool lifestyle and it's allowed me to automate like large portions of my business that I used to think were physically impossible to do so um and odds are if you are here watching this video um you want to do that too either you want to be in the position that I'm in or you just find some of the things that I say about make. com interesting now there's a problem and the main problem is the way that make.
com is currently being taught is really dumb it's being taught by a bunch of people that don't really know how to make money on the internet it's being taught in such a way where there's just way too much of an emphasis on like esoteric subn knowledge that isn't actually going to go out there and generate you a positive Roi and I've noticed that problem and I want to fix it so what I'm going to do over the course of the next 10 or 11 days or so is I'm going to record a course on make. com apptly called make. com for people who want to make real money this has been something that I've thought about a lot uh when I first got started watching and reading make.
com tutorials I was just like man I don't care about any of that stuff just teach me how to print dude and so uh this is essentially me combating that void in the market right now I've created an ocean doc that includes an outline and the videos that I'm going to be creating I'm also uh leaving a couple of those videos intentionally blank as requests because I know that there are a lot of people that have been watching these every day and I'd love to extend the opportunity to like interact with you guys a little bit more actually build out a system that you guys want me to build and yeah it's going to be an extremely in-depth highquality comprehensive course on the 10% of make. com that actually creates uh and generates Revenue opportunities with completely 100% ignoring the 90% that doesn't so if you've been on the fence about wanting to get started with make. com or this is your first fora into Automation and maybe a friend of yours sent you this video uh don't worry you're going to know everything that you need to know to like print and make a million dollars in 12 months by the end of the series that sounds like something you're interested in then keep watching and we're going to get started with the first video in make.
com for people that want to make real money okay so first and foremost what is make. com like maybe you're here and you just have never heard of make. com before maybe it's the first time you've experimented with automation platforms well I'm going to give you the run through make.
com is basically a very highquality piece of cloud software that allows you to glue together dozens of different software applications in real time it allows you to basically become a developer without knowing how to develop all you do is drag and drop various modules from place to place and it essentially just empowers the average business owner who doesn't really have the time to learn how to script or do any of that stuff um in such a way that they can usually shave off a significant percentage of their margins or they can build Sales Systems or email systems or crms or project managers or whatever and so make. com in my humble opinion is a superpower if you know how to use make. com anything that you do at any point in time in the next let's say 5 years or so assuming that that's the lifespan of this this software product anything that you do in the next 5 years is just going to be like 10 times easier and so if you think about it logically given how this is just something that makes everything easier it makes sense to spend a little bit of time learning how that works just to ensure the rest of your life is uh as simple and as straightforward as humanly possible it's not hard to get started it's uh software that from time to time has been a little bit rough around the edges but I think that the the initial way that I pitched it as glue is about as accurate as uh as you could ever pitch it like make.
com is just glue man it just glues together type form in YouTube or Facebook and monday. com or clickup with uh Phantom Buster I don't know there's just thousands of different software platforms that you can just connect in a very straightforward way get data from one source send it to another place right one of the core functions of business and make. com allows you to take care of all of it so this is an ocean doc that I've set up explicitly for the purposes of walking you guys through my rationale for make.
com what the next you know 10 videos are going to be like or so I'm going to make sure to link this in the video description just so you guys have it and just so you guys can kind of see my POV um this is more or less what the next 10 videos are going to be about first of all the goal is I want to teach Freelancers and agency owners and developers how to actually make money with make. com um and I want to make sure that it's as simple as possible you don't actually have to have any make. com experience in order to get started um and then I'm going to walk you through everything from literally like clicking onto the signup button putting in your credit card details I'm going to like do everything for you so that even if you've like never heard of or thought that you had the you were a tech person or had the capability to sign up this platform by the end of my series you will literally have just a giant list of awesome High Roi High producing systems so that's my goal um the format of these videos is going to be the same as my usual format which is long format um I really do not like the ADHD super fast you know 300 Cuts in like 5 Seconds type of that I'm seeing on the internet right now and I find it really difficult to focus so I've sort of like intentionally gone against that grein uh the videos are probably going to be about 20 30 minutes in length um and the big emphasis is going to be on like building practical systems that I and many other agency owners at the S and8 figure levels use in order to like operate their businesses of course there's going to be uh the first couple of videos where I'm just explaining these make.
com Basics and these fundamental operations and that sort of thing you can't really get out of it if you want to build a comprehensive course but if you are experienced at m. com you can just skip through those there's nothing of relevance or importance it's literally just going to be me going through the entire ux and UI and teaching people that don't understand some of these Concepts um how they can use them to to make money I'll also include blueprints to every scenario that I build uh blueprints for those of you that aren't familiar with make. com are just a way to like share files between each other so at the end of this you will basically just have a giant library of Json objects that you can import into your own make.
com system uh in order to just like scaffold anything that we've built and then I may mention this in the intro but I'm going to be building a couple of these as just like requests excuse me sorry I just just had like a giant bag of chips like a fat ass um I'm going to be building on a couple of these as requests AKA if you wanted like a specific system and you were wondering how somebody like me would build it you leave me a comment and if I think it lines up with sort of the the rest of the educational nature of the course I will absolutely create it and in this way I want to give a little bit back to the community that's been helping me out a lot over the course of the last couple weeks and I just want to show you how practical um you know some some skills can be like you can just take a random Youtube comment and if you know about make. com you can build an amazing High system out of it so this is the outline uh this video here is just what is the series what is make why do people use it what's the main strength versus other platforms are coding Etc and I'm going to get into all that in a second the next is going to be make. com Basics so it's going to be how to sign up how what modules are how to use operations basically all that unimportant I mentioned number three is going to be how to respond to emails automatically with AI and make.
com and this is going to be the beginning of my live practical builds where I'm basically just going to get like an idea it's going to be hm I wish I could respond to emails automatically and I'll show you the thought process that is necessary in order to build that out the fourth is going to be how to use web hooks to connect anything to make. com make. com is really cool in that it has like 3,000 or something different software platforms that integrate natively but you'll also find a bunch of software platforms that don't and it turns out most of those software platforms can also be integrated all you have to do is just change a couple of little things in your workflow and so I'm going to show you how to do that to literally like automate anything that you could possibly think of then I'm going to show you uh actual systems that I build on either retainer or subscription for my clients like crms so I'll show you how to build an automated CRM and click up in make.
com where you know we're using make. com is almost like a project manager to ensure that things are getting done on time uh ahead of schedule uh leads are being contacted when they should be and that sort of thing the next is I will show you how to automate messaging platforms like slack with make. com and so a big use case that I find a lot of companies that I work with particularly in the coaching and the info product space have is they want to like automate uh slack or Discord or k jobby or or these like message platform onboarding um flows and they want to like simplify it and and reduce Reliance on humans as much as seemly possible uh I've built out tons of companies uh tons of systems for companies between the 150k to 200k month Mark that have helped them scale to 3 for 500k and I'll show you exactly what systems like that look like next I'll show you how to build a hiring system with make.
com and a couple of other platforms I'll probably use air table in this case um I've built out these sorts of systems dozens of times I just recorded a video that may have seen on YouTube about this exact thing uh but I just wanted to like show you from the ground up how I would go about building this and this is primarily gear towards like agencies that you know have high turnover and that want to implement systems like this next I'll show you how to scrape websites with make. com so I'm going to use um essentially artificial intelligence to help take random data off the internet and then structure it into a format that you can just plug and play into any app this is going to be extremely valuable if you run some type of like software service or if you want to scrape data from like um like a data source like maybe you want to scrape data from upwork or maybe you want to scrape data from some request for proposal website or maybe you're a real estate agent that needs like regular listings coming in from Redfin or something like that I will show you exactly how to do that in a way that basically nobody else is talking about using what are called hidden apis next I'll show you how to automate PR with make. com um there are a bunch of these like newsletter request for PR statement websites and platforms out there uh like Haro helper reporter out and a couple of other ones and I've built a tons I've built tons of systems that just automatically manage those and then just like passively get links so if you're an SEO agency if you're like a software platform that's looking for exposure this is going to be a video for you and at the very end here before I get into like my request videos I'm going to talk a little bit about how iterators and aggregators actually work in make.
com if you're unfamiliar with that iterators and aggregators are just specific functions that make. com provides to allow you to deal with like tabular array data really easily the issue is uh they're very easy to misunderstand and despite you know them being around for like four or five years now U make. com just still has not like released any type of good education on you know how exactly to implement them you don't actually need to know them in order to make large amounts of money like I did not know them for probably the first year and a half but what I'm going to do is have a dedicated video just on iterators and aggregators um that'll just walk you through how they work just in case you need to you know know them for like the 10% of scenarios uh that come up so uh after that I will have a couple of slots open for like request systems that I'll build and I'm just going to leave those to the and just to give people like a good week and a half to two weeks uh to come up with ideas or you know just leave me comments that I can sort of just select the best ones that I think are going to be the most educational okay that at a bird's eye view is the curriculum that's some of my motivation behind it and the last thing that I'm going to touch on before the end of the video is okay why make.
com like aren't there a bunch of software products or platforms out there that do similar things well dear reader slatcher um you're right there are a bunch of software platforms out there that do Sim similar things like zapier is one funny note I didn't realize it was pronounced zapier for like the first 90% of my time using it you can use zapier to do the exact same thing that make can just cost you a little bit more money and I find that there's just a little less flexibility and freedom so zapier is sort of for people that are even earlier on in their automation career um but you can do everything that you can do in zapier in make. com and you can usually just do it a lot more performant you can do it a lot more efficient and you can do it at a lot more cost effective sort of margins um there's another platform out there called na10 na10 is what I would consider significantly more complicated than make. com um it's not just because you know I'm more of a make expert than I'm an NA expert I've given it a royal try and I've tried using na10 and a couple of those other no code Builders but I just find make to be like qualitatively Superior in basically every way um it's a lot of the time the operations are faster you can do better error handling you can just do a lot more in make.
com uh and that really does like touch on that glue concept A lot of these systems to me seem more like staplers where like you you know you staple something then however the hell you want to like pull them apart you know the two pieces just just just do not work um make Doom is a lot more gentle and it's just a lot more intuitive I think for people that are used to dragging and dropping stuff um and you know as I mentioned it's also cheaper so that is more or less in a nutshell uh why I like make. com over a lot of the other Drgon drop Builders and yeah this is one of probably the funnest most exciting platforms that I've ever used in my life so I hope all of this makes sense our first video that I'm going to do on like actual make. com things is going to be on make.
com Basics so if that's something you're interested in if you are an introductory sort of Watcher and you never use make. com you're definitely not going to want to miss that we're going to cover signing up modules operations like every one of the five trillion tabs on the leth hand side bar of make.
