Linah AI + Nano Banana 🎥 is insane for UGC ads… But doing one video at a time? Way too slow. This AI Agent produces hundreds of ad variations in minutes fully automated. Here’s what it does: → Powered by Linah AI’s video engine → Generates UGC-style video ads in bulk → Upload your product reference via n8n form → OpenAI Vision extracts product details automatically → AI Agent builds custom video scripts + hooks → Linah AI produces ad variations instantly → All videos auto-synced to Google Drive for easy access Request 10, 50, or even 500 variations with one upload. Just set the number in the form → AI handles the rest. Built entirely in n8n. Runs 24/7. Zero manual editing needed. Want the full guide + template? → Like this post → Comment “NANO” And I’ll DM it to you. (must be following)

@KapSteven 👍 Absolutely! Discipline and self-belief are key! Money is important, but it's not the only factor for success. You can do amazing things with just a little! 💪

You can start: - An agency with $100 - A personal brand with $0 - A SaaS company with $200 Money is rarely a legitimate excuse. The bigger barriers are discipline and self belief.

@omarfben Yeah, if I look at some of the marketing tools out there, you need to be an expert to use them. You need the stuff that actually works for non technical people, as easy as hiring a great copywriter but without the need to manage

We need more AI tooling that focuses on excellent UX and isn’t overloaded with templates, weird features, and bugs. Simplicity will win!

I just sold MakeLogo.ai for $65,000 🤩🚀 Launched it 3 months ago, with 0 budget and less than 600 followers. I learned to code only 9 months ago. Big thanks @agazdecki & @acquiredotcom to have made it possible! If you're curious, here is the whole story: December 2022, 20:40. I had a sudden idea. What if I made an app to generate logos using AI? I was making AI logos already for my other projects, so I knew how to do it. However, I needed to validate 2 hypotheses: 🤔 Can I make logos in an automated way? 🤔 Would people pay for it? I decided to make an MVP in 48 hours, as deadlines are the way to go when launching anything: x.com/nico_jeannen/s… 48 hours, 1 earthquake and 2 power outages later, I had my crappy MVP ready 🥳 By crappy I mean a static HTML page linked to a Typeform to collect payment. The back end was literally me generating the logos and sending them by email. No framework, no fancy stuff, just text and pictures. I made a few posts on Twitter and generated a couple of sales from it: x.com/nico_jeannen/s… Sales = Validation. The next step was to make an automated version, so I made another challenge of making an automated version in 48h and launching it on @ProductHunt 🚀🚀 And oh boy, things went crazy! I launched on December 11 and generated +$1000 of sales, ended up Product of the Day, and got tons of followers on Twitter, so I knew I was into something 🤩 However, it was far from perfect. Lots of logos needed additional editing or ended up weird because the customer inputs/prompts weren't good. So, I started from scratch again and made a brand new version in January. The new version offered way more options, and better results overall ✨ Then, I added the app to every startup directory I could put my hand on. And that's how most of my traffic came. I also kept posting on Twitter, every time someone asked "what are you working on?" I replied with the name of the app, and the same when someone asked for AI-generated logos 🤓 And... That's pretty much it. I tried to run some ads on Twitter & Reddit but it didn't work that much, as it's not targeted enough. Now, I don't have much interest in logo/design, and I don't have the technical skills to improve the app further, so, I decided to sell it in February. @acquiredotcom made the process pretty easy, I received a few offers, and ended up choosing the best offer. Then I did the transfer and here we are 🥳 In total, the app made +$23,000 in sales and $15,000 in profit. So, that's around $80,000 in total (profit + sale), which is equivalent to at least 5 years of safety net where I live 😱 If you want a more detailed post, I wrote everything I was doing in real-time back then: jeannen.com/making-ai-logo/ Now, keep in mind that it's not my first shot at entrepreneurship. In the last 5 years, I launched around 35 projects and most were total failures. Just between October and December 2022, I released 7 different apps. I never gave up. I kept showing up. It's a number game. The odds are against you, but at some point, you'll get something that sticks 😉 So... What's next? 🤔 I hate customer service. So I hired an assistant to do it on MakeLogo.ai. But in most cases, it's the same questions over and over. So I made an app to help my assistant works 2x faster. Last weekend, I made a post to show it and some people asked for a public app, so I made it. If you want to join the beta, you can go to galeby.com. For testers, it's $15/month forever instead of +$30 later. It's also a crappy MVP, there is not even a Stripe integration, I’ll DM users to give them the payment link 😁 And again, thanks to everyone for the massive support I got with MakeLogo along the way. Couldn't have done it without you 🥰
