What is the ideal customer for an AI automation agency that repurposes and distributes content, and how can I find them besides LinkedIn and Upwork?

Ideal customers are creators who are just starting to standardize their content, have around 10K–100K followers, are at the early stage of exponential growth, and are looking to outsource or work with a team to reduce costs. You can serve them by using a transcript to automatically generate posts for ten social platforms—either fully automated or with a person handling it. To find these leads, scrape Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube for channels in that follower range. For example, use a YouTube scraper with about fifty search terms to get roughly a thousand videos for $5, which corresponds to about six hundred creators. Take the top ten percent (about fifty to a hundred channels), sort them by subscriber count, and then use a YouTube channel scraper to pull contact details from video descriptions—Instagram, website, etc.—giving you Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter, and LinkedIn profiles. With those contacts, take one of their long‑form YouTube videos and use your system to create customized content for each platform at a marginal cost of just a few cents. Finally, run personalized outreach based on the video or another asset, ensuring each message includes some level of customization.

How do I convert Instagram followers to YouTube viewers?

I can approach it with three main content pillars. First, awareness content that covers the latest AI news—anything new, free, or just launched. Second, implementation content that shows how to actually use AI tools, like deep‑seek tutorials, so it’s not just dry theory. Third, no‑code content that demonstrates using AI via APIs with platforms such as n8n or Make.com. I’ll also add a fourth pillar focused on "AI money"—showing how to monetize the tools rather than just how they work. Each piece will include a clear CTA back to my YouTube channel for detailed guides, and I’ll sprinkle short YouTube clips or intro snippets to keep interest high and drive cross‑platform traffic.

How do you use AI in your content creation workflow, and do you have a team or agent helping?

My main workflow is repurposing my daily updates onto four or five social media platforms. I’m only using a small fraction of the possible channels—there are about ten other places I could publish. If I built a full publishing pipeline, I’d double my current results. Currently, I record two video streams: one with my face and a comment card (useful for some channels), and another with just my face. I use AI (Whisper) to generate a transcript, then clip the useful chunks, create Q&A content, and also produce straight‑answer videos. I publish these across Instagram profiles, YouTube Shorts accounts, and similar platforms. Feeding the transcript into a model like Astra would perform reasonably well.

Do you have any tactical advice for growing an audience and finding the right topics?

I'm about to publish a video on my main channel covering this topic. I can see you're just starting with about five videos, experimenting with thumbnail templates and using AI for images—pretty accurate. Keep doing what you're doing; if you scaled up to 100 videos or 25 times your current output, you'd easily surpass 3,000 subscribers. I'll soon release a video detailing exactly how I approach this in the automation agency space, because lots of people want to replicate my growth. I've noticed channels copying my Instagram content outright, so I might as well share my secret sauce and monetize it.

As a content creator offering repurposing and scheduling services, what pain points could automation solve for me?

The biggest pain point is content ideas. AI can help by researching what others are doing, finding unique angles, and creating a summary bot that compiles summaries into a Google Sheet, saving you daily research. It can also generate titles based on high‑performing templates, though you should still add your own human touch because titles and thumbnails are the highest‑leverage elements for virality. Another major pain point is repurposing. Repurposing long‑form content into short‑form, text, and distributing across platforms is valuable, especially when you take content from creators in adjacent niches — like video editors or personal trainers — who use AI terms. By scraping their reels, you get domain‑specific experts recommending AI tools, letting you create content that funnels their audience into your automation niche. Finally, AI can help generate outlines for content using deep research, allowing you to produce large amounts of content quickly.
