Should I stop making AI videos and focus on consistency and discipline instead?
Thank you. I had a great rest last night and I'm on fire today. If you want to talk about consistency and discipline, the best way is to get 8 to 9 hours of sleep each night—it makes everything easier. You asked about making a video on how to create an AI appointment setter; that would help a lot. Are you referring to an AI voice agent? If so, check out my AI voice agent—search for it, as Googling my content helps boost my rankings. One of my daily updates videos appears there, and there's also Nick's AI net worth search, which is funny. Another option is the AI agent, probably the website agent I built, which does some setting for you—give it a try and let me know your thoughts.
Loops have been interesting to play with. The simplest way to get started: before you go to bed, give your AI agent a goal, and have it loop every X minutes as part of achieving that goal — this solves the problem of a model finishing a goal too early, and lets you trade tokens/time for quality since it doesn't matter if it takes 8 hours while you're asleep. Example: I wanted to scaffold out possible structures for a free community, so I set a goal and had it loop every 15 minutes overnight — over about 8 hours that's roughly 32 independent passes, each consulting the master list of ideas so far and adding a few new ones, ending with a massive list of options. A second major use is loops for software optimization: set up a loop where every X minutes an agent spawns and tries to improve some metric you care about (like page load speed) on a live property — it's essentially 'auto-research in a box,' logging what it's tried before and improving a test metric over time. The downside nobody talks about much: loops burn a ton of tokens — creators pushing loops are often fine spending $2-3K/month on AI tokens, so if you don't have that kind of budget, it can be a rough way to work.
I’d start with the 80 % of AI automation basics in under 30 minutes—watch the ‘AI Automation Basics’ video. Then move on to my full Naden course or the Make.com Nick’s Archive playlist. Those will teach you the automation skills you need. The 80/20 approach gives you the basics quickly, and remember that automation is just a business like any other; once you learn how to build an AI automation business you’ll do most of the work with a few simple tools.

When I make videos like this, I constantly balance how deep to go on one person’s question versus covering enough to help many viewers. That’s why I don’t go super deep on niche topics like AI agent orchestration from a phone—most people are dealing with more fundamental issues, like the ones Muhammad and Sam raised. It’s also a matter of top‑of‑funnel versus bottom‑of‑funnel content. My recommendation is to stop worrying about queuing tasks from your phone and instead focus on the actual bottom‑line ROI you’re generating with your current workflow. Many people try to apply AI agents to everything because it sounds cool, but in my own experience, only a small fraction of my most valuable actions over the past week involved agents. I do use them for preliminary research, scoping, scaffolding, or creating outlines, but the core revenue drivers—what actually makes me money—come from me, not the agents. The real ROI lies in simple, repeatable systems like Getting Things Done by David Allen: having a place to capture ideas, checking back to decide if something is actionable, and then working through a clear next‑action flow. It may sound boring, but that’s where the real secrets are—rooted in proven, past‑tested methods, not chasing the latest AI trends.
AI will create ads, films, and music videos much faster and for far less money—no production or audio teams needed, as the AI handles scripting and auto‑fixes everything. The output comes from natural‑language prompting; those who know how to prompt the models will do best, though that skill will fade as models become better at prompting themselves. You can definitely earn $10k/month with this right now, maybe for a couple of years. I’m still a beginner in AI automation agencies, but I know some basics and have built a few automations. Your next step is to get in front of paying customers, articulate their needs and problems, and show how your solution helps. There’s no other path—it’s messy, like entering a gladiatorial arena with tigers; you have to win your first fight to earn praise. Start by signing up on Upwork or freelancer.com, treat yourself as a low‑paid API endpoint, gain experience and money, then move to cold email, ads, or other channels to build a sustainable method.
