Tik Tok Live Replay 10! - Q&A on Ai, Automation, 10hr $10k work month, Media buying, and TikTok Shop

Introduction

Good morning, everyone! Welcome to another engaging TikTok Live session. My bangs might seem a little chaotic this morning, but at least I made an effort to style them! A for effort, right? We're here to try our best and make the most of the day.

Happy Tuesday to all! I hope your week is going wonderfully. A special greeting to our viewers from the UK—it's amazing how we can connect globally through these live sessions. Thank you for joining; your presence is what makes these live sessions worthwhile.

Let me introduce myself: My name is Laura Anderson, and I'm the founder of the 10-Hour 10K Work Month. I also host the 7-Day Weekend Podcast. My expertise lies in AI automation and media buying, which involves managing ad campaigns for clients across various platforms such as Meta (formerly Facebook) and TikTok. I'm excited to share insights and answer any questions you might have today.

My Background

Although I have built a successful career in media buying and automation consulting, I do not have a traditional marketing background. Years ago, I started with a drop shipping store while studying computer science. I eventually dropped out of school and taught myself how to build websites and run ads. My journey has been entirely self-taught, demonstrating that expertise and experience can often outweigh formal education.

I often emphasize that you don't need to have a degree to excel in this field. Many clients don't ask about education; they want to see proven results. Along my journey, I've developed a unique system that allows me to work fewer hours while generating significant income, including automating client outreach through AI.

How to Start in Media Buying

For those looking to transition into media buying or start their own consulting firms, I advocate for investing time in building your skills while being open to outsourcing tasks. I wish I had outsourced tasks earlier in my career, as it allowed me to focus on client acquisition, enabling my income to increase significantly.

If you have knowledge of AI and are looking to market your skills, I strongly recommend showcasing your work through multiple online platforms. Engage actively with audiences by creating content and sharing services that resonate with them. It’s essential to be consistent and diligent in your marketing efforts, as that will yield the best results.

AI and Automation

I'm often asked about how long it takes to automate a business or a consulting practice. For me, it started to take shape about six months ago when I developed a full automation system to assist with client outreach and service pitches. This system leverages tools like Zapier to connect various applications, allowing me to streamline tasks and significantly reduce workload. AI acts as a powerful assistant, providing a level of efficiency I never thought possible.

For acquiring new clients, my strategy has involved cold outreach through targeted campaigns and emails, automated by AI. I've found that scraping publicly available emails from platforms like LinkedIn can yield great results in finding potential clients. It's all about being smart and using technology to your advantage.

Building a Portfolio

For those starting, I recommend creating a portfolio that showcases your skills through mock campaigns. This could involve using imaginary brands but demonstrating your understanding of how to run effective ad campaigns. Get creative, analyze competitors, and demonstrate the strategies you're capable of executing.

When you successfully pitch your services, your portfolio can quickly grow, gaining you credibility and clients in no time.

TikTok Shop

If you're interested in selling on TikTok Shop, the onboarding process can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 20 days, depending on TikTok’s approval procedure. I've seen students successfully start selling products within 24 hours after getting approved for a TikTok Shop.

Conclusion: The Power of Consistency

Finally, I must stress that no matter how saturated the market may seem, consistency is key. If you dedicate time to honing your skills and promoting your services, you'll stand out regardless of competition.

Thank you for tuning in to this session. I'm here for your questions and eager to help you on your journey toward success with AI automation, media buying, and launching on TikTok Shop.
