Yesterday was quite the busy day despite not being scheduled to work, and I gotta say…
I’m grateful for the internet robots I’ve employed doing their thing to get my name and face out there without me being online all day.
When you’re a dad of 3…
You never know what to expect on any given day at home.
Our baby son woke up early.
Our 2 year old daughter wanted pancakes immediately just so she could eat 2 bites and reject the rest.
Our 4 year old was in “doctor mode” and wanted to heal everyone and give herself band-aids when she didn’t need them.
Since we have 2 dogs and 3 cats as well, there’s always someone needing something at any given moment especially when my wife goes out to lunch so she can have a break.
I’m not complaining, because…
I love that hour (or two if she goes to the grocery store after) I get to spend with my kids.
But it does get busy real fast once everyone wakes up.
Not to mention, I’m still working on breaking down boxes we collected over the holiday season.
All this to say…
If I didn’t have semi-automated robots working for me every day, I probably wouldn’t get much done.
That or all my social media posts would go live before 7-8am and pretty much nothing the rest of the day.
So here’s what I do:
The first thing is sending my daily email which is definitely not automated, but it’s super high leverage.
I write one email and it gets sent to nearly 700 people who signed up to read them.
What is automated is when people join my list they get a welcome email without me lifting a finger, whether they join via my blog, Skool group, or buying my ebook.
I had a few people join yesterday, so that’s a few emails I didn’t have to write.
Another thing that’s automated is…
My content on X and Threads going out automatically.
I don’t use AI or anything, so it’s still manually written but I don’t have to be there to post it.
Over the last week, I’ve been testing if 3 posts per day is better than 10 posts per day, and I’ll share my results of the test tomorrow.
So in the case of yesterday…
I had a post go out when I was with my wife and 2/3 kids (our oldest was still sleeping).
I had a post go out when I was breaking down boxes in the garage.
I had a post go out when I was enjoying some burgers and fries with my family.
And while I definitely didn’t have any viral hits, which I wasn’t expecting anyway…
I still got my name and face in front of new potential leads and customers without being on my phone or laptop much at all.
It’s a really cool thing.
This is just one of the many things I talk about inside The Blueprint, along with how to set up systems that create leverage like what I talked about here.
