Build More Than Just a Following
When it comes to building a business online, finding your audience is only the beginning. The real work is what comes next, and that’s what The Creator Business Summit is all about.
On July 16th, you’ll hear from four of the sharpest minds in the creator world: Shaan Puri, Codie Sanchez, Chris Koerner and Tyler Denk. All ready to give you the inside info on how they went from dreamers to moguls.
They’ve built audiences, grown brands, and launched businesses worth millions—and they’ll show you how they did it.
From personal brand to business empire, this summit is packed with real strategies, tools, and proven frameworks to help you build like never before.
Side-hustlers. Full-timers. Big media brands. There’s something for everyone to learn.
💥 The Problem
Most solo creators waste 5–10 hours a week doing things that could easily be automated:
Copying tweet links into Notion
Digging through analytics
Forgetting to schedule posts
Hunting down affiliate metrics
Rebuilding content plans from scratch
It starts small, then it adds up.
This post walks through exactly how I’d automate a week in the life of a solo creator using free or low-cost tools.
🧠 What This Workflow Aims to Solve
We're not just "automating tasks."
We’re building a repeatable system that handles:
✅ Content intake & idea capture
✅ Weekly planning & scheduling
✅ Performance tracking (subs, clicks, top tweets)
✅ Clean handoffs between platforms
✅ More time spent creating, not clicking
⚙️ Tools I’d Use
These tools keep the stack lean, visual, and easy to iterate:
Purpose | Tool |
|---|---|
Content capture | Tally.so or Google Forms |
Automation engine | Make.com (visual, scalable) |
Content storage/hub | Notion or Airtable |
Social scheduling | Typefully or Buffer |
Email + audience | Beehiiv |
📅 A Week in the Life (Automated)
Friday – Capture Content Ideas
Saturday – Plan the Week
Review top tweets from the week (Make.com can track and log)
Choose 1–2 ideas to expand into a Beehiiv newsletter
Draft your post directly inside Beehiiv
Auto-tag with theme, target link (affiliate/product), and send day
Sunday – Schedule & Sync
Queue 3–5 tweets inside Typefully
Pull content directly from your Notion idea bank
Set tweets to align with newsletter drop or affiliate promotions
Optional: auto-send yourself a recap email (via Make) of what’s queued + what’s live
🧩 Optional Add-ons
Log new subscribers into Airtable for tracking (Make handles this)
Create a dashboard that pulls in:
Weekly sub growth
Top tweet by clicks
Make.com referral performance
💡 Real Talk
This isn’t about automating everything.
It’s about building a calm, repeatable system that lets you do the work that actually moves the needle, without burning out.
Even 2–3 well-placed automations can give you back hours every week.

✉️ Closing Note
You don’t need to outsource.
You don’t need a VA.
You need a system that shows up—even when you’re offline.
Let the stack do the clicking.
You stay focused on the building.
