My personal 9AM automation that kills manual follow-ups

Source: Giphy

Every morning at 9 AM, this system runs on its own and sends a full lead scraping status report to both:

→ A Google Space

→ A Telegram thread

The data comes from two separate Google Sheets:

1 - One for YouTube leads

2 - One for PR/domain scraping.

It reads only the most recent rows, labels and structures the fields, adds up totals, and sends out a clean, formatted report to both platforms.

No screenshots. No copy-paste. No "who updated what?"

What it shows:

→ Total videos scraped

→ Contacts + domains found

→ Final sum of verified domains

→ Timestamped and styled

→ Posted directly inside team channels

Simple idea, but it keeps everyone aligned daily—and removes a lot of manual follow-ups.

Built in n8n using:

âś… Google Sheets

âś… Google Space webhook

âś… Telegram bot API

âś… A little structured output logic for clarity

I’ve bundled the full automation with docs, setup steps, and customization options if you want to build your own version.

How This Founder Prompted His Way to $40K+, All While Escaping the 9–5

When you hear "solo SaaS founder," you picture someone buried in code, grinding late nights, right?

Not Paulius (@0xPaulius) 

→ No coding background

→ Built everything on his daily commute

→ Used AI tools like Perplexity, Bolt, and Cursor

→ Turned one simple idea into $40K+ in revenue

His product? CreatorHunter.io

A clean, useful platform that helps startups find the right influencers.

He didn’t spend months planning.

He didn’t over-engineer.

He just started prompting.

→ Bolt helped him build the MVP

→ Cursor handled backend and auth

→ Framer gave it the design polish

→ Perplexity answered every question like a patient cofounder

No fluff. Just action.

Sales started rolling in before he even left the dinner table.

What worked?

→ He shipped fast

→ Shared his journey in public

→ Rode trends instead of trying to create them

→ Made the hero section of his landing page do 80% of the work

Today, Paulius is building two bootstrapped startups—CreatorHunter.io and Clockout.gg—both vibing past $10K MRR.

No VC. No dev team. Just vision + velocity.
