Intro to Connor

• From New Zealand, currently living in Ontario, CA
• Started Unicorn Factory, a freelancer platform in New Zealand and Canada
• Used Webflow to develop Unicorn Factory and fell in love with no-code
• Spoke at Webflow conference a few years ago and started YouTube camera to show tutorials on no-code tools

What No Code Tools Are

• Software that allows you to create websites, app, automations, etc. without code
• Before no code, designers had to design everything out in Sketch, Figma, etc. and then hand it over to a developer
• Takes the concept of coding and makes a visual abstraction so you can create workflows and apps without Webflow
• Examples:

• Webflow, Zapier, Whalesync, Make, Airtable, Memberstack, MailerLite, Stripe

Use Case 1: Upsell Web Design Clients

• Add membership/gated content functionality to your website using a tool like Memberstack (using data attributes in Webflow) - can charge anything from $4-$8k for creation of Memberstack integrations in Webflow
• Create a CMS admin portal that syncs with Airtable using Whalesync

• Whalesync allows you to connect separate database for custom integrations
• E.g. sync airtable to Webflow CMS using Whalesync, airtable interface is a bit nicer than Webflow CMS interface, better for clients

• Automate form submissions logic with make.com

• Automtae form submissions from Webflow to CRM using make.com

Use Case 2: Automate Your Own Business

• Build a client management portal with Glide

• With Glide, you can take Google sheets data and turn it into a nice dashboard
• Can make an engaging client portal for your clients, levels up the experience

• Manage client payments using Stripe payment links

• Can do subscription payments, etc.

Use Case 3: Build Your Platforms

• The best way to learn about no-code and automate is to get in there and start building!
• Build your own e-learning platform with Webflow and Memberstack
• Create a curated product directory with Webflow, Airtable and Make
• Build a two-sided marketplace with Glide and Webflow

Key takeaway: once you have your web design and development skills down, you are most of the way there in terms of creating a profitable automated product! No-code tools are fairly easy to pick up and can be used to create some pretty powerful tools fairly quickly!
