I love Make because it’s more polished and has built‑in AI features. It’s great if you’re just starting or making $5‑15k a month. Zapier has more ability in some cases, but it depends on where you are in your journey. Don’t let the tool choice stop you from doing daily lead‑generation with Make.com.
It makes sense. I focus on getting up and running quickly, moving fast, and breaking things—that's why I always recommend Make.com. If you're more technical, I get the appeal of NADN, but I ask myself whether I actually need that complexity to make money. The answer is no; people have been making money with simpler tools for as long as the internet has existed, so tool complexity isn't the bottleneck.
Maker School is a zero‑to‑one community designed for people who have never made money selling automation services and want to get up and running quickly. I walk you through everything from start to finish, with a day‑by‑day accountability program and a lot of beginners, so you get hands‑on guidance and a supportive community. Make Money with Make.com is a higher‑level community focused on more advanced topics, weekly hang‑out calls, office hours, higher‑level discussions, and deeper value‑proposition work. Both have community value, but the latter is geared toward people who already have a foundation and want to scale further. Check the sales page for the full list of differences.
I'll be honest: AI auditing and infrastructure is just a repackaging of what we already do—same service, different packaging to look and sound new. It's a smart move for content creators because audiences get fatigued with the same offering over time, but there's no real fundamental difference in the deliverable; only the packaging changes slightly. There's no special support needed to make that transition; we continue with the same business model under the hood and may rebrand later when the market tires of the 'AI automation' keyword.
Maker School is designed to throw you into the deep end of AI automation and get you interacting with customers within the first few days. It isn’t a slow, gradual ramp‑up for total beginners. You could spend a few months learning basic AI concepts on your own, but you can also dive straight into Maker School and start doing lead generation right away. The program includes education, QA, bug fixes, and automation help as part of daily fulfillment, but it’s not a full end‑to‑end AI curriculum covering webhooks, APIs, etc. Instead, you get everything needed to reach the lead‑generation side of the business, daily actionables, and the resources to figure things out. This fast‑track approach is chosen because it offers the highest ROI and the shortest path from zero to one.
