Automation Is the Path to Faster Growth

Forget chasing investors. Forget big teams. Allan Wells is rewriting the rules—building a billion-dollar software empire with one employee (himself).

If you want to grow your business, automation should be your mantra. Especially if you’re a solo creator.

Minimize Human Complexity

Most creators think scale = delegation.

There’s some truth to that, but Wells took the opposite approach:

• No team

• No meetings

He designs his businesses to run with zero interpersonal friction. The result? Pure focus, zero drag.

Think about all the repetitive tasks you handle. Don't delegate them.

First, try to set up an automatic system. It's cheaper and it won't add human complexity to your business.

Side note: Social media is the kingdom of repetitive tasks. If you want to grow, you need to retweet, republish your most valuable posts, and write comments with special CTAs. Automate all these tasks through Hypefury.

The magic isn't in the models — it's in the feedback loops

The real magic of AI isn’t just using smarter models. It’s building systems that learn from failure.

That’s what Allan Wells does. He doesn’t just automate tasks—he engineers feedback loops that make those tasks better over time.

His systems:

• Track every error

• Capture every failure

• Improve outputs daily

That’s how you go from decent automations to exponential performance.

Here’s how to replicate this approach as a solo creator:

1. Pick one task you do weekly. Maybe it’s writing tweet hooks or pulling analytics. Start small.

2. Automate the first draft. Use ChatGPT, a Make scenario, or an Airtable automation. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect—yet.

3. Set up a simple review step. Save the failed responses. Log what you fixed. Make a note of what was missing.

4. Improve the system weekly. Did ChatGPT hallucinate? Add better context to your prompt. Did your auto-tweet misfire? Adjust the rules for selecting content.

Set aside 30 minutes each week to improve just one system. Record a process, tweak an automation, or fix one broken step.

It might feel small, but over time, these tiny upgrades stack into serious time savings and unstoppable momentum.

AI Won’t Kill All the Jobs—Here’s Why

The idea that AI will replace everyone is just hype pushed by tech execs. There’s no real evidence it’s happening. In fact, history shows the opposite: new tech creates more jobs than it destroys. AI will change our work, but it won’t wipe out the workforce.

Are Your Cold DMs Getting Ghosted?

You send a cold DM. They open it. Then... nothing.

Silence isn’t always rejection. It’s often just bad timing, a weak ask, or inbox overload.

Here’s how sales experts follow up and turn ghosts into replies:

1. Don’t follow up like everyone else

2. Use a pattern-break follow-up

3. Try a completely new channel or message
