11,000 Ads in One Month: Steal This AI Marketer's Workflow
29/09/2026 Duration: 36minCody Schneider joins Eric Siu to walk through how he builds AI marketing workflows: customer research to ad scripts and voice tracks, LinkedIn engagement to outreach, and a LinkedIn article to a live Google ranking check. We also cover the infrastructure, brand checks and testing process behind the work. The 250,000 monthly LinkedIn DMs mentioned in the conversation are a Nick Abraham example Cody cites. The live demo shows leads and a sequence prepared, not messages sent. The ad videos were still rendering at the end.
