#363 - How I Automated My Indie Business with AI and n8n

I speak about how I’m automating my indie founder workflow using N8N. I share my favorite automations: press release creation and translations, social media scheduling, and newsletter writing, all powered by AI and connected through tools like Excel and GPT. I talk about handling integrations, using Flarecut for YouTube Shorts, and the challenges with Reddit. I discuss my plans to automate B2B outreach and customer success. My focus is on maximizing distribution, saving time, and scaling my projects with automation.
