🚀 He solved his own problem — and helped 325 more people

(Post 1 of 3)

This is the story of one of our creators, Ivan Borisov, told in three parts. Ivan runs the @mlgfrontier channel.

We’ll explain how Ivan built an audience without advertising, launched a paid community, and eventually received an unexpected bonus from using Tribute.

Let’s start with the problem he needed to solve.

More than a year ago, Ivan wanted to create a steady flow of new people discovering his work. Not through paid advertising, and not by hoping that one of his posts would suddenly go viral.

Ivan is passionate about AI, so he decided to use it to solve the problem. His solution was based on AI agents — algorithms that manage social media accounts automatically. They find the right people, interact with them, and bring them to Ivan. They do the work that a creator would otherwise have to handle manually or pay someone else to do.

And it worked. His first 50 sales came directly from these agents. Ivan then began sharing what he had learned on YouTube and bringing people into his community through his videos. Today, new people consistently find him through two different sources.

Once the system was working, Ivan decided to teach others how to do the same. That’s how the “AI Agent Academy” was born. Over the course of a year, the idea grew into an entire community focused on AI-powered automation — and it now has 325 members.

Everything was going well. But at some point, Ivan realized that the audience interested in this topic was too narrow. It was time to think about how to reach people beyond it.

What he did next — in Part 2.
