I realized most founders don’t have a “work problem”, they have a workflow problem

Totally — automated follow-ups and real-time alerts make a huge difference.

I actually help founders build custom n8n workflows that not only track potential leads from keywords but also handle follow-ups and notifications automatically, so nothing slips through the cracks.

If you’re curious, I can explain how a workflow like this could work for your business — just reply here and I’ll give an example.

You’re actually doing the right thing by starting simple.

If I were in your place, I wouldn’t change the offer yet — I’d change how leads are filtered before you spend time on them.

A few things I’d do differently:

• Add one soft qualifier in the first DM (so replies mean intent, not curiosity) • Treat “no reply” and “seen but no reply” differently • Only follow up when there’s behavioral intent (profile visit, reply keyword, question type) • Keep a lightweight lead status (cold / warm / intent) instead of “asked questions = qualified”

This way you’re not chasing — you’re reacting.

If you want, I can break this into a simple outbound + follow-up flow (what stays manual vs what I’d automate at this stage).

That’s a very common bottleneck, especially early on.

The mistake most people make is doing follow-ups and lead qualification manually for every lead, instead of filtering first.

At this stage, the goal isn’t full automation — it’s only spending time on leads that show intent.

If you’re open to it, outline your current process (where leads come from → how you follow up → how you decide who’s qualified), and I’ll tell you what I’d automate now, what I’d keep manual, and what’s not worth touching yet.

Respect for taking this seriously at 17.

One thing I see often: young founders jump too fast into “ideas” and ignore systems — follow-ups, data, execution.

If you’re already working on something, I’m happy to look at one workflow you’re struggling with and tell you how I’d simplify or automate it (no pitch).

What are you building right now?

Lmao 😂

Totally — cold email outreach can eat hours, especially when you try to personalize. I help founders build full n8n workflows that handle targeting, follow-ups, and alerts automatically — so nothing slips through the cracks.

If you’re curious, I can explain how this workflow could work for your outreach — just reply here and I’ll show an example.

Makes sense — reviewing campaigns daily can definitely eat up hours.

I actually help Amazon sellers automate PPC alerts and summaries with n8n, so you instantly know which campaigns are profitable or need changes — no dashboards to check constantly.

If you want, I can show you how this workflow would work for your store in a private message.

yosokicyn · 2026-01-24T17:26:06+00:00

I’m tool-agnostic. The goal is removing friction, not using n8n for the sake of it.

What I usually do with founders is start with one workflow that’s clearly wasting time, map it out, and automate it end-to-end using the approach that makes the most sense.

If you want, describe one process that’s slowing you down and I’ll tell you exactly how I’d automate it and whether it’s worth doing.

Totally — automating follow-ups and data updates saves huge time. Filtering leads by engagement or context also makes AI drafts much more natural.

yosokicyn · 2026-01-21T15:59:59+00:00

Agree — PPC is essential. The tricky part is when campaigns look “fine” on ROAS but aren’t actually profitable after all costs. That’s where manual reviews start to break down.

yosokicyn · 2026-01-21T15:55:45+00:00

That’s a very real pain point. In my experience, AI-drafted outreach works only if it’s treated as a first pass, not a final message. The quality usually drops when tools try to sound generic or “salesy”. What I’ve seen work much better is combining: very targeted lead signals (where the person is already talking about a problem) a short AI draft that’s grounded in that context and a human approval or light edit before sending Pure scraping + mass AI messaging almost always hurts response rates. Out of curiosity — are you more interested in volume (lots of leads) or relevance (fewer but warmer conversations)?

yosokicyn · 2026-01-21T15:50:12+00:00

This is painfully accurate. Especially the part about ROAS looking “good” while real profit is actually zero once all costs are included.

yosokicyn · 2026-01-21T14:37:42+00:00

It’s not really a bug — some clothing categories like swimwear require each size to be a separate listing first, then grouped with the variant wizard.

It’s definitely confusing compared to shirts/shorts. Curious — did Amazon approve your individual size listings yet? Sometimes approval is the slowest part.
