Hey Prompt Entrepreneur,

Busy week!

I’ve been preparing the AI Authority Accelerator for launch on Monday and honestly?

It absolutely slaps. 😂 

Here’s ONE day:

The idea is to make getting into video production as easy as humanly possible. Removing all the barriers.

Which means for every barrier, every potential pothole, I’m building AI prompts and tutorials to help students move past at speed. It’s pretty sick!

I launched to the Waitlist last Thursday from the cellar of a 17th century pub:

Don’t tell my business partner I pressed Launch after a beer… (heh sorry Harms!)

And then went to an AI event to a chorus of little Stripe pings every few minutes. Feels great, not going to lie.

And here’s the thing.

This is all possible because of the audience I’ve built.

It’s been around a year - 250,000+ audience members, 60,000 newsletter subscribers, $300k+ of revenue.

All from me just yapping to my phone.

That’s…really quite something you know?

And now I get to help others do the same.

I’ve already been helping people one by one, casually.

But now I’ve had the luxury of being able to sit down and codify it all. Systematise all the lessons I’ve learned into an accelerator. Really cool!

So yeah! We launch Monday. It’s £100 this first time - nice and low to get started. And capping it at 100. We have about 30 places left so if you do want in please come check it out and join up!

Starting Monday! Which is also (yay!) my birthday!

OK! Onto the Playbook:

Playbook Roundup

This week Kyle covered — How to get to your first 1,000 followers

What you learned:

  • Why building an audience is your most valuable business asset - providing lower customer acquisition costs and creating genuine relationships that benefit both sides.

  • How to identify and target your audience using the Dream 100 approach - leveraging existing influential creators to gain visibility and learn what content resonates in your niche.

  • The importance of creating a balanced content funnel with wide, middle, and deep content types - attracting new followers with trend-based content while building trust through your unique perspectives.

  • Why consistency trumps production quality in audience building - maintaining a simple production process allows for higher volume, which accelerates learning and discovery.

  • How strategic engagement in the first 30-60 minutes after posting significantly impacts algorithm performance - actively participating in conversations builds community and increases content reach.

(You’ll get this playbook in a Notion format, which lets you easily : take notes, copy prompts fast, duplicate and keep as your own, past your ChatGPT results and save as PDF.)
