Issue #43: 🚀 Michele’s AI Video Ads Workflow That Sells Itself

Dear Builders,

In 2026, this newsletter has one job:

Help you turn automations into money.

This newsletter started as a way to find templates for automations. Now the market is flooded with them. So NOW in this newsletter we will give you only the best workflows AND help you make money from them.

No theory.
No “someday.”
Just workflows, outreach, and proof.

Let’s start strong.

(PS - There is a free gift for you right at the end if you have a website or are thinking of building one)

🧠 Workflow Of The Week:

Who Built It: Michele

What It Does:
Michele’s workflow generates viral-style AI video ads without hiring creators, renting studios, or paying for editing. Simply input text or product images, and it produces short, realistic UGC videos — ready to post on Meta, TikTok, or Shorts.

How it works in one line:
Input → AI writes scripts → AI generates videos → Auto-downloads finished ads.

Why It’s Incredible:
This workflow replaces expensive production steps with automation:

• Copywriting ✅

• Video editing ✅

• Creative testing ✅

Key Advantages:

💡 Plug-and-play: No building from scratch. Just fill in your text/images.
🎯 Ready-to-sell: Videos can go straight to clients.
🧠 AI-enhanced prompts: Even basic ideas become polished video scripts.

💸 Weekend Challenge: Quick Win

Challenge:
Create 3 AI UGC videos for ONE local business niche (e.g., gyms, dentists, coffee shops). If you don’t have n8n yet you can use the tool Galaxy that I mention below.

Goal:
Send 10 short messages offering “3 free test ads” this week. Here is something you coudl send them:

“Hi [Name], I made this sample video for [product/service] — no cost, just to show what AI can do. I’d love your feedback!”

Don’t build anything yet, just start messaging. Momentum beats perfection. Your first goal is to get a reply, not close a sale.

Support:

Share your outreach results or questions by hitting reply — we’ll celebrate wins in the newsletter. Keep it simple, fast, and low-pressure.

🎮 The Automation Games

The Automation Games is a free, monthly challenge starting in Febuary.

The rule: Send 100 outreach touches in 30 days. DMs, emails, replies, posts — anything.

Why it exists: Most builders fail because they never do consistent outreach. This fixes that and gives you the support you need from this newsletter to get it done. Weekly micro-missions (tiny, doable).

Rewards:

• Featured wins in the newsletter

• Winners earn free featured builder slots worth $299 (details coming soon)

No fluff. No gurus. Just proof.

If you do one thing this week: Send one real message offering real value.
Everything else is noise.
