I’ve noticed a trend of people jumping on the automation bandwagon after watching some flashy YouTube videos. Let’s be real for a sec.
Tools like n8n, Zapier, and Make are awesome. But they’re not magic money makers. They’re just tools. Like a hammer, they’re only as good as the person using them.
Here’s the deal: building random stuff and hoping it’ll solve a problem is putting the cart before the horse. It doesn’t work that way.
Want to actually make some cash? Start with a real problem. Build something that fixes it. Then sell it to the people who need it. Simple as that.
Don’t waste your money on expensive courses promising quick riches. That’s not how it works.
Just my two cents. I want to see you all create cool, useful stuff. Let’s focus on adding real value, okay?
yeah, preach it! automation ain’t no magic wand for instant cash. been there, done that, got the t-shirt. wasted months chasing the dream, ended up with zip.
gotta say, the real deal is finding actual problems to solve. once i started talkin to peeps and understanding their headaches, thats when things clicked.
dont fall for those fancy youtube promises, guys. focus on helpin people for real. thats where the moneys at.
As someone who’s been in the trenches with automation tools, I can vouch for what’s been said here. It’s easy to get caught up in the hype, but the reality is far less glamorous.
I spent months tinkering with various automation platforms, convinced I’d stumble upon the next big thing. Spoiler alert: I didn’t. What I did find was a lot of wasted time and frustration.
The turning point came when I stopped chasing the tool and started focusing on actual problems in my industry. Suddenly, automation became a means to an end, not the end itself.
My advice? Get out there and talk to people. Understand their pain points. Only then should you start thinking about how automation can help. It’s not sexy, but it works. And trust me, the satisfaction of solving a real problem beats any get-rich-quick fantasy.
Couldn’t agree more with your perspective, JumpingMountain. As someone who’s been in the automation game for years, I’ve seen countless people fall into this trap. The allure of ‘get rich quick’ schemes is strong, but the reality is far different.
I’ve learned the hard way that successful automation projects always start with a deep understanding of the problem at hand. It’s not about the tools you use, but how well you apply them to solve real-world issues.
My advice? Spend time in industries, understand their pain points, and then leverage automation to address those specific challenges. It’s a slower path, but it’s the one that actually leads to sustainable success and value creation.
Remember, automation is meant to enhance human capabilities, not replace the need for critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Stay grounded, focus on real problems, and the rest will follow.
