Why Automate Your Buyer Process?

Automations, Real Estate 0

If you’re taking on a new buyer client—whether it’s a personal referral, an online lead, or someone you met by chance—there should be a systematic approach from day one. This system should cover all the steps from the initial introduction to post-closing follow-up. If you’re sending the same email repeatedly or following the same steps every time, why not automate that process with templates or automated workflows?

For example, if you’re drafting the same introductory email each time, create a template that you can use again and again. Save these templates in Gmail or as notes on your phone so you can easily copy and paste them when needed.

Steps to Automate in Your Buyer Process

Let’s walk through the onboarding process for a new buyer client. We’ll look at areas where you can set up automation to streamline your workflow:

  1. Initial Contact & Introduction
    When a lead or opportunity comes in, the first thing you should do is send an introduction. This could be a link to a short “about me” video on YouTube, a one-page introduction document, or even a simple text message.
    • Automation Tip: Set up a template for this introduction. Include your YouTube video link, one-sheet, and a text introducing yourself. This can be done automatically with tools like Gmail templates.
  2. Qualifying Call (LP MAMA)
    On your first call with the client, use the LP MAMA script to gather all the essential information:
    • L: Location
    • P: Price range
    • M: Motivation (why are they moving?)
    • A: Are they working with an agent?
    • M: Mortgage (do they need a lender?)
    • A: Appointment (schedule the buyer consultation)
    This step can’t be automated, but it’s crucial for gathering the right information upfront.
  3. Thank You Note or Small Gift
    After the initial call, send a thank-you note or a small gift. A simple app like Thnks allows you to send virtual gifts, like an $8 Starbucks coffee, directly to the client.
    • Automation Tip: Set up a template email for the thank-you note and decide on an automated gift system (like Thnks) to handle small gestures of appreciation.
  4. Automated Follow-Up Emails
    As you progress through the process, automate key follow-up emails, such as:
    • Buyer consultation appointment confirmation
    • Sending them a link to your property search tool (e.g., your website or app)
    • Regular check-ins to see if search criteria need to be updated
    • A template email to explain the offer process and what to expect
  5. MLS Auto-Notification Setup
    Once you’ve set up the buyer on your MLS, automate a regular check-in email asking for feedback about the listings they’ve been receiving.
  6. Post-Showing Follow-Up
    After showing properties, send an email with additional details, such as disclosures, neighborhood information, or HOA rules.
  7. Educational Videos
    Record videos explaining important steps of the process that clients frequently ask about, such as:
    • What is an inspection?
    • What is the appraisal process?
    • Why is title insurance important?
    This way, instead of explaining the same thing over and over, you can simply send a link to your video.
  8. Referral & Review Requests
    Ask for referrals when your clients are most excited—typically right after going under contract.
    • Automation Tip: Draft a referral request email and set it up as a template so you can quickly send it at the right moment.
  9. Important Dates & Deadlines
    Use a checklist to outline key deadlines, such as earnest money due dates, inspection periods, and closing dates. While this can’t be fully automated, having a pre-set checklist ensures nothing slips through the cracks.

Tools for Automation

For basic automation, you can use Gmail templates to save common emails. But for more advanced automation, consider using tools like Zapier. Zapier connects various apps, allowing you to create automated workflows between them. For example:

  • When a new lead is added to your CRM (e.g., Follow-Up Boss), Zapier can automatically trigger an introductory email.
  • You can also use Zapier to automate processes between Calendly (for scheduling) and your CRM.

Final Thoughts

The bottom line is, if you’re doing something repetitively, find a way to automate it. Not only does this save time, but it ensures consistency across your entire business. Whether you use Gmail, Zapier, or other tools, the goal is to streamline your workflow so you can focus on what truly matters—serving your clients.

How to Turn 609 YouTube Videos into Blog Posts Using Automation

Automations, Wordpress 0

In this blog post, we’ll explore how you can take hundreds of YouTube videos and transform them into fully functioning blog posts using automation tools like Make.com and AI. This step-by-step guide walks through the process, from scraping video links to creating and publishing polished blog content—all without manual intervention.

Why Automate YouTube Video to Blog Conversion?

With 609 YouTube videos, manually creating blog posts would be overwhelming. By leveraging automation, you can streamline this process and produce high-quality blog posts from video content, including summaries, action steps, quotes, and transcripts.

Here’s a breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Scraping YouTube Video Links and Titles

The first step is to gather all the necessary video data: links and titles. You can achieve this using a tool like TaskMagic, which automates web scraping tasks.

  • Setup: Start by identifying the YouTube channel from which you want to scrape videos. TaskMagic will automate the process of gathering video links and titles.
  • Process:
    1. TaskMagic opens the YouTube page and begins scrolling to load more videos.
    2. The tool scrapes the video links and titles.
    3. This data is then stored in a Google Sheet with columns for video links and titles.

Tip: If you’re scraping hundreds of videos (in this case, 609), consider batching the process. Scroll for a set time and then scrape, repeating the cycle if necessary.

Step 2: Organizing Data in a Visual Database

Once you have the scraped data, you can transfer it into a visual database like Airtable or Google Sheets. This structure helps you manage and visualize the video data. In this setup:

  • The database stores the link, title, author, and status (which tracks whether a video has been processed).
  • The status field serves as a cue system, showing whether the video is queued, in process, or posted.

Step 3: Automating the Blog Creation Process with Make.com

Now comes the automation part where Make.com (formerly Integromat) takes over to create the blog posts based on the video data. Here’s how:

  1. Throttle the Workflow:
    • To prevent overload, batch the workflow so that it processes about 100 videos at a time.
    • The workflow checks for video links that are in the “Queued” status and starts processing them.
  2. Retrieve YouTube Transcript and Metadata:
    • Use DataForSEO, an API platform, to get the transcript of the video and metadata like the video’s thumbnail.
    • These calls are made separately—one for the transcript and another for metadata like video image links.
  3. Compose Blog Content:
    • Summarize the Video: A concise summary is created using AI, providing the key takeaways from the video.
    • How to Implement: AI generates actionable insights on how to apply the video content to real-world scenarios.
    • Extract Quotes: Key quotes are pulled from the transcript.
    • Include Full Transcript: The entire transcript is added to the blog post for those who prefer to read through the video content.

Step 4: Formatting and Publishing Blog Posts

After gathering all the necessary data, it’s time to format and publish the blog post:

  • Image Resizing and Upload: The video thumbnail is converted into a JPEG format and uploaded as the blog’s featured image.
  • Markdown to HTML Conversion: All the AI-generated content is formatted using markdown and converted to HTML for easy upload.
  • Embed the Video: The YouTube video is embedded directly into the blog post.

Step 5: Automating WordPress Publishing

Once the blog post is ready, it’s uploaded to WordPress using Make.com’s integration:

How to Turn 609 YouTube Videos into Blog Posts Using Automation

  • Post Scheduling: The video’s original publish date on YouTube is used as the blog post’s publish date for authenticity.
  • Categorization: Based on the transcript, the blog is categorized using AI to ensure it is properly tagged.
  • Author Assignment: Depending on the video, AI selects either “AI Alex” or “AI Leila” as the author.

Once all these tasks are completed, the status in your database is updated to “Posted,” signaling that the blog post is live.

Key Benefits of This Automation Process

  1. Scalability: This system can handle hundreds of videos at a time, making it ideal for large-scale content projects.
  2. Time Efficiency: Instead of manually writing hundreds of blog posts, the process is automated, freeing up valuable time.
  3. Quality Content: The blog posts are enriched with video summaries, action steps, and key quotes, making them more valuable than simple video transcripts.

Summary of the Process

  1. Scrape YouTube videos using TaskMagic to collect video links and titles.
  2. Organize data in a visual database like Airtable or Google Sheets.
  3. Create blog content using Make.com to automate the retrieval of transcripts, video metadata, and AI-generated summaries.
  4. Format and publish the blog posts to WordPress, ensuring proper embedding, categorization, and image formatting.
  5. Update status in the database to track which videos have been processed and published.

Automating WordPress Article Creation Using OpenAI and Make.com

Automations, Wordpress 0

In this guide, you’ll learn how to automate the creation of WordPress articles using OpenAI and Make.com. This system pulls content from a Google Sheet, sends it to OpenAI for article generation, and automatically posts the articles to your WordPress website. Follow these steps to set up the automation and start publishing articles with minimal effort.

Step 1: Set Up a Google Sheet with Article Topics

The first part of this system requires creating a Google Sheet to serve as a content source for the automation.

  1. Create a Google Sheet: Set up a Google Sheet with columns for the following:
    • Title: The title of the article.
    • Slug: A URL-friendly version of the title (auto-generated or manually input).
    • Excerpt: A brief description of the article (up to 500 characters).
    • Category: The WordPress category the article should fall under.
    • Featured Image ID: The ID of the image from your WordPress media library.
  2. Prepare the Content: Gather a list of keywords or topics you want articles about. You can generate ideas using OpenAI if needed (e.g., asking for keyword ideas for a specific topic like “Litecoin”).

Step 2: Set Up OpenAI for Article Generation

Once your Google Sheet is ready, you need to configure OpenAI to create content based on the sheet’s data.

  1. Use OpenAI API (Not ChatGPT): Set up an OpenAI API account and create a connection in Make.com.
    • API Setup: Use GPT-3.5 Turbo to generate articles. You’ll need your OpenAI API key to connect to Make.com.
  2. Create a Prompt for Article Generation:
    • In Make.com, create a prompt to send to OpenAI. For example:
      • “Write an article about [Title from the Google Sheet].”
      • Note: Do not include an H1 title in the prompt because you’ll be using the one from your Google Sheet.
  3. Use HTML for Formatting: Ensure that OpenAI outputs HTML-formatted content (e.g., H2s, H3s) so that the article will be properly structured for WordPress.

Step 3: Set Up the WordPress Integration

With your Google Sheet and OpenAI configuration ready, the next step is to set up the WordPress integration.

  1. Install Make.com Plugin for WordPress: Install the Make.com plugin on your WordPress website to allow seamless integration.
  2. Connect Make.com to WordPress:
    • Title: Map the article title from your Google Sheet to the WordPress post title.
    • Content: Map the content generated by OpenAI to the body of the post.
    • Excerpt and Slug: Use the excerpt and slug from your Google Sheet for these fields.
    • Category and Featured Image: Manually set the category in Make.com. For the featured image, use the media ID from your WordPress media library (you can find this by hovering over the image in WordPress and noting the post ID).

Step 4: Automate Article Posting

Now that everything is connected, you can automate the process of posting articles to your WordPress website.

  1. Run the Automation: In Make.com, set the automation to run. You can either:
    • Run it Manually: Press “Run Once” to publish the articles immediately.
    • Set a Schedule: Schedule the automation to run at intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes) so it continuously pulls data from your Google Sheet and generates new articles.
  2. Monitor Article Creation: As the automation runs, it will pull topics from your Google Sheet, send them to OpenAI for article generation, and then post the completed articles to WordPress. You’ll see live updates in Make.com as the process unfolds.

Step 5: Review and Adjust Article Output

Once the automation is running, you can check the articles to ensure they are properly formatted and meet your standards.

  1. Check Published Articles: Review the articles in WordPress to make sure the content has the correct formatting, featured image, and is categorized properly. Articles should include proper HTML formatting like H2 and H3 headers, and have a clean, readable structure.
  2. Handle Timeouts: If you’re generating many articles at once, you might encounter timeouts. In this case, try reducing the number of articles per run or spread the process over a longer time interval.

Step 6: Improve with Internal Linking and Scheduling

To further enhance the system, consider adding internal linking and scheduling features.

  1. Internal Linking: You can set up internal links between articles based on keywords or topics. This helps with SEO and content discovery. You can add these links manually or set up a separate automation for linking based on the content.
  2. Scheduled Posting: Instead of publishing articles immediately, you can schedule them to go live on specific dates. Set this up in the Google Sheet by adding a “Publish Date” column and mapping it to WordPress. This way, articles can be published gradually over time instead of all at once.

Step 7: Monitor Performance and Iterate

As the system runs, keep an eye on how well it performs. You can adjust the automation and optimize it for SEO.

  1. Check Site Load and SEO Performance: Be cautious about publishing too many articles in one day, as it could impact your site’s SEO. Consider spreading the content out over several days.
  2. Refine the Process: You can continuously improve the automation by adjusting prompts, adding new features like interlinking, or scheduling articles for strategic SEO benefits.

The Finale…

By automating article creation with OpenAI and Make.com, you can generate high-quality WordPress content quickly and efficiently. This setup is powerful for scaling content production, but it’s important to use it wisely to avoid overwhelming your site with too much content at once. If you follow the steps in this guide, you’ll have a fully automated system that keeps your site updated with fresh, SEO-friendly articles.

If you found this helpful, consider adding more automation workflows or experimenting with different article types. Happy automating!

Automating Content System Using Airtable and Make.com

Automations 0

In this guide, we will walk through an automated system that helps you scale your content production, repurposing a single piece of content into multiple formats across different platforms. Using Airtable and Make.com, you’ll be able to streamline your content creation process and distribution. Let’s break this down step by step.

Step 1: Understand the New Approach to Content Creation

Before jumping into the automation, let’s explore the new mindset for content creation:

  • Old Way: Each platform gets its own specific content, i.e., a YouTube video for YouTube, a tweet for Twitter, etc.
  • New Way: Think of each component (video, image, title, transcript) as individual pieces of content. Store them in a Content Pool, where each piece can be transformed and repurposed multiple times.

Step 2: Set Up Your Content Pool in Airtable

  1. Create a New Airtable Base: Start by creating a new Airtable base for your content management. Rename the base to something like “Project 10X” and create a table called “Content.”
  2. Add Key Fields:
    • ID: Use an auto-numbering field for unique content identification.
    • Copy: This will be the text or caption for your content.
    • Title: Store your content’s title here.
    • Images & Videos: Use attachment fields to upload content.
    • Source Type: Create a single-select field to track where the content is coming from (e.g., YouTube, community post, etc.).

Step 3: Set Up Input Forms for Content Capture

Now that you have your content pool, you need to create a way to add new content to it.

  1. Create Input Forms: Airtable’s form feature allows you to submit content ideas, community posts, or media files into the system.
    • New Idea Form: Capture ideas for content with a simple form. Include a title, idea description, and optional images or videos.
    • Community Post Form: Use this form to capture text or posts you’ve already shared in your community for repurposing.
  2. Create a Form for Video Uploads:
    • Add fields for video title and source type.
    • Use the attachment field to allow users to upload videos directly into the Airtable content system.

Step 4: Automate Content Collection with Make.com

Use Make.com to automate content collection and management.

  1. Slack Integration for Audio Notes: Create a private Slack channel to record voice notes, which can then be automatically sent to Airtable.
    • Set up an automation to watch the Slack channel for new voice notes.
    • Download the audio and use OpenAI’s Whisper to transcribe the notes.
    • Store the transcription in Airtable under the “Copy” field.
  2. Google Drive Integration for Video Uploads: Create a folder in Google Drive to upload videos.
    • Automate file detection and upload these videos into your Airtable system.
    • Ensure videos are properly labeled and categorized.

Step 5: Automate Content Production (Transformations)

Once your content is in Airtable, you can transform it into different content types (e.g., blog posts, carousels, tweets).

  1. Create Transformation Actions in Airtable:
    • Add a table called “Transformation Actions” with different tasks like “Media to Transcription,” “Text to Blog,” “Text to Carousel,” etc.
    • Use Make.com to trigger different automations depending on the action you select.
  2. Set Up Automation for Transcribing Media:
    • Use Make.com to call Whisper from OpenAI to convert media files (like videos) into text.
    • Store the transcription back in Airtable.
  3. Convert Text into Blogs:
    • Take the transcription and send it to OpenAI’s GPT-4 to generate a blog post.
    • Store the blog post in Airtable under the “Copy” field.
  4. Create Carousel Posts:
    • Use Make.com and a design tool like Placid to convert text into a series of images (carousel posts).
    • Feed the text into Placid, which will create individual images for each quote or line.
    • Store the generated images back in Airtable.
  5. Generate Tweets:
    • Use OpenAI to generate 5 tweets from a piece of text.
    • Create new rows in Airtable for each tweet.

Step 6: Distribution of Content

After production, it’s time to distribute the content.

  1. Connect to Social Media Platforms:
    • Use Make.com to automate the posting of content to platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
    • Schedule daily or weekly posts, automatically pulling content from Airtable.
  2. Monitor the Automation: Make sure that everything runs smoothly, and occasionally check your automation flows for any errors.

Step 7: Review and Fine-Tune the System

  • Testing and Tweaking: Continuously test and refine your automation. For instance, if the AI outputs need adjustment, modify the prompts used in GPT-4 to get more personalized results.
  • Expand Your System: Add more transformation actions, such as turning a blog into a YouTube script or converting a tweet thread into a blog post.

How to Automate Social Media Posting Using AI with Make.com

Automations, Social Media 0

In this guide, you’ll learn how to use AI and automation tools to simplify your social media posting, freeing you from manual posting tasks. By following this tutorial, you can set up an AI system that will post to your social media accounts daily, allowing you to focus on other areas of your business or personal brand.

Step 1: Sign Up for Make.com

Make.com is a robotic processing automation (RPA) tool that allows you to connect different software to automate workflows. Sign up for an account on Make.com to get started.

  1. Create a New Scenario: Once logged in, click the “Create a New Scenario” button at the top of the dashboard.
  2. Visual No-Code Setup: This tool is visual and requires no coding skills, making it easy to set up your automation.

Step 2: Set Up the Trigger with Google Sheets

You’ll use a Google Sheet to trigger the automation.

  1. Create Your Google Sheet: Set up a Google Sheet with columns for your article links. For example, in the first column, add URLs of industry-related articles.
  2. Add the Google Sheets Module: In Make.com, press the “+” button and search for Google Sheets.
  3. Select “Watch New Row”: This function will trigger whenever a new article link is added to your sheet.
  4. Set Limits and Schedule: Change the trigger schedule to daily at 8:00 AM. This will post one social media update every day.

Step 3: Summarize the Article with Perplexity AI

Next, AI will read and summarize the article to generate content for your social media posts.

  1. Sign Up for Perplexity: Go to Perplexity.ai, create an account, and generate your API key.
  2. Connect Perplexity to Make.com: In Make.com, search for Perplexity and select “Create Chat Completion.” Add your API key to connect the tool.
  3. Write the Summarizing Prompt: Add a prompt that instructs Perplexity to summarize the article you input in the Google Sheet.
  4. Test the Setup: Run the automation once to ensure Perplexity successfully summarizes the article.

Step 4: Create Social Media Posts with AI

Now, you will generate posts for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (X), and LinkedIn using AI.

For Facebook:

  1. Add a Router: This allows you to perform multiple actions (e.g., creating multiple posts) at once.
  2. Use CLAUD AI: In Make.com, search for CLAUD and connect it to your API. Set it to generate a Facebook post based on the article summary.
  3. Write the Prompt: Add a prompt that tells CLAUD to create an engaging Facebook post, with a clear call to action and relevant hashtags.

For Instagram:

  1. Add OpenAI Module: In the router, select OpenAI to write your Instagram post.
  2. Prompt the AI: In the content section, ask OpenAI to write an Instagram post with a visually appealing message, emojis, and hashtags.
  3. Generate an Image: Use DALL-E (via OpenAI) to generate an image related to the post, based on the article.

For Twitter (X):

  1. Repeat the OpenAI Setup: Follow the same steps for Twitter, with a focus on shorter content suitable for Twitter’s format.
  2. Add Hashtags and Emojis: Adjust the prompt to include concise, engaging content with hashtags.

For LinkedIn:

  1. Use CLAUD Again: Repeat the process using CLAUD to generate a professional LinkedIn post.

Step 5: Connect to Social Media Accounts

Now that your posts are written, it’s time to connect them to your social media accounts for automatic posting.

  1. Facebook: Add the Facebook Page module and authorize your account. Select the page and schedule posts based on the previous AI-generated output.
  2. Instagram: Connect to Instagram for Business and use the generated image and caption from the earlier steps.
  3. Twitter (X): Repeat the same process to connect Twitter (X).
  4. LinkedIn: Lastly, connect LinkedIn and automate posting to your profile or company page.

Step 6: Optional Review Before Posting

If you prefer to review posts before they go live:

  1. Send Posts to Email: Instead of posting directly, you can set up an email module to receive a preview of the posts, giving you the opportunity to edit and approve them manually.

Step 7: Finalize and Run Your Automation

Once you’re happy with the setup:

  1. Ensure Your Spreadsheet Is Filled: Add enough article links to your Google Sheet to keep the system running daily.
  2. Turn On the Automation: In Make.com, activate the scenario, and your AI system will now generate and post daily social media updates automatically.

The Finale

In just a few simple steps, you can automate your social media marketing, saving hours of manual effort. Using Make.com, Perplexity, CLAUD, and OpenAI, your AI-driven system will run daily, keeping your audience engaged and building your brand.
