Introduction and signing up

0:00 hey this is the start of a comprehensive tutorial on NN that will span many hours and take you from a total beginner in n8n or maybe even no code more generally and turn you into a proficient automation engineer this course is practical you're not going to learn by dry Theory or academics we're actually going to get you building stuff that makes a difference in the real world in particular things that make money because one of the main use cases of no code tools are obviously for business I started and scaled my own automation agency to $72,000 a month using no code tools like nen so the goal here is to impart some of that pragmatic business knowledge as opposed to just keeping everything academic if that sounds good to you then buckle up and let's get into it okay we're going to start this video by signing up to n8n I'm actually going to walk you through what that process looks like from start to finish I'm going to be using their Cloud hosted

0:45 offering today the reason why is it's just a lot easier for total beginners to get up and running versus self-hosting but I want you guys to know that I'm going to be covering self-hosting in depth over the course of the next few weeks after that we're going to do a live Hands-On review of nad's Builder we're going to cover the canvas the work flow um nodes and then after that I'm going to be creating three simple but effective workflows to actually have you guys get something on the page so to speak you'll actually have created three simple workflows before the end of this video so if that sounds good to you without further Ado uh this is Ann's website as we could see secure AI native workflow automation very sexy I really like their branding you can see they worked with some big freaking names Adobe is using n now send and blue Pearson um Splunk and I've never heard of those guys but they sound funny so uh top right hand corner I'm just going to

2:16 going to invite any team members to my workspace I really like their onboarding they have um fantastic onboarding they have a little quick start guide over here on the right hand side as the workspace starts up as you can see it didn't cost me anything to like launch said workspace the cloud plan gets you up been running like ASAP so despite the fact that onboarding typically do change and yours might look a little bit different as of the time of this recording it is pretty dang sweet okay and now I just received a notification saying that my workspace is online I can click Start automating and we'll actually dive into um NAD proper they use a little dark mode action which I really like so very clean very Sleek as you can see they automatically sign you up to a trial uh when you get started you'll have 14 days in said trial with 8,000 executions total I'll cover what all that stuff means uh in a minute no big B deal the
