LOL... YES! This is exactly what I wanted... So first, thank you!!! I'm the person asking the chapter long questions over at the Sumo! (BTW, I'm not sure where YOU would most like me to post my questions, but I would be happy to do so if you tell me elsehwere.) AND... indeed, I am that type with tech background that I over-complicate things, which is why I hate the iPhone... because I cannot figure out the simplicity of it! SO.... THIS WAS very HELPFUL... I like your sense of humor and REPETITIVE aspect of yes, "It says right here... blah de blah...." With my praise and gratitude expressed... I continue on my mission to learn how to do this.
TO BE CLEAR, I DID try to follow the instructions... and I THOUGHT I WAS reading the instructions and following them (HENCE, why the repetitive explanation and emphasis in this video on the critical elements is valuable).
I do want to point out at 5:34 when you mention my "NO CLUE" comment... I was NOT referring to the basics at that point which you say, "I don't know how else to tell you..." --------------- As my comment shows, I was referring to the "already prepared" automations... and that I had clicked on those and had no clue on how to use those. The point being... Just like you didn't "carefully" read what I wrote where I was referring to the prepared automations at that point, and thought you were doing your absolute best, I was also doing my best to follow as I was going along but little things get missed when you THINK you're doing it right -- which is why this REPETITIVE video for the launch is so helpful -- Here, you cover HOW to do it... the mistakes people make... the reason someone might think this or that and why it's right or wrong... you slightly belabor it and that is GOOD for us NEWBIES! It was perfect! Once you get into advanced automations, people know the process, so you just say "get this step here" and enter this text here and so on....
ALSO ... for some reason... when I followed the steps in this FLUID presentation, it got me past some of the hang-ups before when I could swear I did the same thing! But having this FLUID video over to the steps.... somehow I didn't mess it up in some tiny but important little way along the way, such as when I THOUGHT I did the right cookie before and did the app, but it didn't log me in.... but this time it did. So thanks.... I at least know the basics now... and I can try to do a basic scrape.... before getting too complex. The only thing I didn't necessarily see was how to save... but I think I just need to click "I'm done." Thanks again.... and keep up the good work on your sardonic attitude.... I'm seeing myself and how I deal with my own clients in my business and it makes me laugh... at the same time I'm learning.
Hahahaha love you for this!! I didn’t know who to address!! You’re the ultimate. This is how we make it easier!!! I need you and others like you!! This means so much
Thanks to your diligence and thoughtfulness in drafting your questions, we've all benefited from this "TaskMagic for Dummies" version of the intro. I love that you asked the questions we didn't even know we needed answers to, and Jeremy meticulously went over every detail to ensure none of us would be newbies after this video. The only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask. TaskMagic is really taking ownership of this product and making sure everyone knows how to use it. I'm noticing that the only limitations are the user and the processing power of our own systems. In other words, the sky's the limit.
@@fearlessknine3510 I love that name: "TaskMagic For Dummies!" lol... for sure!
Excellent, @Melody...! "little things get missed when you THINK you're doing it right", yes!
"I like your sense of humor", me too. Maybe thats why I always support Jeremy and keep the algo going (Jereremy: Don't forget... Zapier... etc...).
Jeremy, in the video you recommend another video, and yet another... hopefully I can remember all those.
Started my way through the lazy empire videos now (although I watched some of them already here on YT of course)... Wish me luck (and enough competence😁) :)
Needed this video. Companies forget all the tools we use, we have to learn and need these videos. Nearly refunded this tool because of the fucking learning curve.
Just bought Taskmagic. I'm NOT dismissing any of those videos. I'm having to watch them again and again! 🤣🤣
Hahahaha Ken!!!!! Thanks for this!! And I appreciate you supporting us!
My device is not able to open the Chromium browser. It keeps crashing and give me error message. I already did many possible fix but nothing (includes that mentioned on troubleshooting section which deleting chromium snapshot folder). What should I do?
Hey just replied to another one of your messages. Lemme know if you can send a video link to what’s happening here: help.taskmagic.com/contact
And we’ll be sure to take a look for you ;)
EditThiscookie extension is not available as provided in your tutorial. Any other similar cookie extension.
Yeah!!! We just made our own actually!!! lol. That’s great you ask. It’s called copy this cookie. Here is a link to the community post; www.skool.com/lazyempire/the-first-taskmagic-chrome-extensionget-it-free?p=64c3ca27
I wrote at least 3 emails with the same frustration as OP. But I did watch all the videos and tutorials. A lot of them were so fast and advanced and not geard towards beginning web scraper automators. The fact that you have PHDs, coders, crm automation experts saying with the available tutorials they can't "get it" should be alarming to you guys. You've mentioned over and over that's it's simple. So why are ppl so "confused"? I'd create a series called foundations. That pain stakingly goes over each feature, button, option you have in the software. Not only explain it but give 3 use case examples.
Another idea is have a community of users that can help. (Not sure if you've launched something) I've given up on TM for a few months until all this gets sorted.
Another idea paid hotline. I would've paid someone just to solve my issue.
Great idea!!! We have a lot of this inside the course! Are you new here? Welcome! We made a video a bit ago mentioning the course and community. Did you sign up?
And YOUUUUUU gotta speak up! I need more of this. I create a very comfortable atmosphere to yell at me. Painstakingly lol. I’m always here. Always willing to do videos. Did you write in and get your async video if you had trouble? We’ve tried to get to word out about signing up for build sessions, getting their async video thread, joining the community. Let’s goooo can’t hold the hand alwaysc but willing to for some time. I gotta know these things hence why I made this video ;) day 1
And did you see this? OFFICIAL: TaskMagic's Lazy Empire skool community is finally here
th-cam.com/video/MxRnDEXC7Gg/w-d-xo.html
12:08 you show the triggers; schedule, lists, webhooks. And beneath are some apps mentioned. For which one do you need higher tier?
Sorry for all the questions 😊and if it is mentioned somewhere just point me the right way
We can send you an invoice for the difference to upgrade to apps which is like $200 or something. Or you can upgrade on AppSumo it’s tier 4 or 5 ;)
@@TheJeremyRedman yeah after watching a bunch of video’s from you guys, probably need tier 4.
That is also good for automating stuff for my customers right?
yeah!! You get unlimited invites. But keep in mind you may need cloud hours for clients (as they may not want to run from their computers) so check out our latest video on cloud hours ;)
Is it possible to update a column with a scrape instead of a row.
Automation=
1. google sheet with an url in kolom B, i first recorded one url manually and added the list later.
2. scrape a tekst from the url page and add it in kolom A of the same sheet
3. the tekst scrape is appended in a row beneath the url in kolom B in kolom A so the url is in row 2, but the scrape from that url is being sent to row 3 in column A
And another question
Can we update a cell/ column instead of append when scraping to a google sheet?
Yeah!! During recording when you scrape a single item, you can then add that thing you scraped into a column in google sheets
will the desktop app work with chromeos?
Oooo the desktop app doesn’t work with chrome OS but we’re trying different things like a chrome extension (maybe). You can use apps though on the web
I am tier 4 member and i filled the form to get skool access but haven’t gotten any response.
And i have also contacted support regarding it yesterday but no luck!
Whats going on, i want the course
You got your flow/idea to share?? We got HUNDREDS of sign ups. So just working through them
@@TheJeremyRedman i thought you said all tier 4 will get instant access. and yes I have ideas to share as well
Well in that case, you should’ve given this information in your video that for even tier 4 and 5, it will be delayed and not instant.
Why do you always give half information about everything.
You guys seem annoyed! thats not fair - people Are buying your tool and not understanding it so taking their time to writers in? Thats WAY BETTER than buying, trying, feiling, cancelling the subscription and then telling people not to bother. I’m one of the people that took a while to get started. It just made no sense to me. I’ll see if I can send a loom vid…
Haha not annoyed. Animated. That’s how I do all videos! And if you watch the video all the way through you will see the love
12:10 Not my question, but a question I am sure many, many newbies cannot answer respectively do not understand why you trigger this AFTER the recording. Common sense says: step 1, step 2, step 3 and so on. But in reality, it often is not linear, because variables have to be inserted afterwards, maybe some waiting time and so on. You guys are the ultimative experts, but MILLIONS of potential customers are not (yet).
I conducted first aid courses for 10 years. I am quite sure you have no idea how many mistakes I experienced in, from my sight, very, very basic steps. The more mistakes you experience, the better you become in avoiding them through better teaching.
To be completely honest: I have been frustrated in using TaskMagic many times. And I am not criticising you or TaskMagic. If I don't know how sth. works, I rewatch videos, search for other videos, test things out etc. until I succeed. I studied computer sciences and I know how to code. Never the less I would not describe me as tech-lover. So I am testing, give it a try, watch another tutorial etc.
From my experience I know there are not many people so committed as I am.
Agreeeed!! We should do a session!!’ I screenshotted this and will address inside for what you said; a beginners guide
I have tried and tried but what i am running into is the recording doesnt want to let me record do i just do and then delete or what. I am trying to do something that should be pretty simple. In want to have a bunch of Instagram urls and every day i want to copy the url and like follow and message from either a google document sheet with variables syntax do say 15 a day and i cannot get it to run. I have added my cookies it gets past that part but it isnt doing what I am trying it get it to automate
Hey Jennifer!! Ok first off…grabbing URLs and repeating actions on Instagram isn’t pretty simple, unfortunately lol. Pretty simple would be some filling out a form on a website. If you want to drop us a video and note here we can give you a video of how to do what you need specifically for your flow; help.taskmagic.com/contact
Also we will be adding some helpful tips to the course for Instagram as well. So drop us a note and be on the lookout for that. Are you in the community?
Jennifer I’m trying to understand exactly what you’re doing….ill try and make a video on showing you what I think you’re trying to do. But in the meantime send me a note with a video of your flow here: help.taskmagic.com/contact so I can get it 😊
When will those of us at a lower tier be added to the community?
@@TheJeremyRedman Where do we sign up? Another thing I did not see!
15:20 The confused learner cannot tell you what confuses him. Because he does not know what he does not know or does not understand correctly. It's the job of the teacher to teach in a way the learner does not get confused. There is a saying: "If the student does not learn, the teacher did not teach".
Agreed! I’m not a teacher lol. But I’m trying. Getting better every day though. See my other messages. We’ll get there ;)
lol I wish I had this when I signed up hahah i have suggestion s for some video ideas 1. use cases 2. more tutorials...
Hahahaha yeah!?! Is this good then you think? I’m adding it to the course
@@TheJeremyRedman yes i sent my email address... i purchased it from the website not app sumo deal... i gave my email and never got an invite....
15:05 How you can help more? Maybe you conduct a beginner workshop (it could be an automated one). Give BASIC things to solve. Like: "Create a flow in order to log in to your Facebook account." "Create a flow in order to log in to your twitter account". Those who experience difficulties, give them the opportunity to share their screen and help them live. Afterwards, give things to solve which are slightly more difficult. And so on.
If you start such a workshop, say every 3 month, for free, I am quite sure you will win so many happy new customer that you have to buy a new safe to store the newly gained money. ;-)
Love the workshop idea. I screenshotted this to address with a workshop. In the community. You’re in the community right?
This “start here” video is 16 minutes of instructions to watch other videos. Kind of off-putting. I sure hope this isn’t reflective of the teaching style in those other videos.
I am so sorry lol. This IS indicative of all my other videos unfortunately for some. I’ll keep making them better and better and more put together though ;)
@@TheJeremyRedman 😆 Certainly can’t fault your honesty! I’ll try another and hope for the best. 👍
Listen some are better! And some are me being ME! Lol. But some are made by Kyle that aren’t as ME being Me. Lemme know what you find
I'm a software engineer for 27 years and I hate the word "App" especially when it's being reference for Windows software. I also hate that the word "PC" is referenced as a Windows machine. All home computers are PC's. Personal Computer is what PC means. Just my 2 cents.
Jeremy, no joke: Give this and comparable videos to people who are interested in TM and are no techs. Then let them figure out, how to do it. If maybe 80 % succeed, everything is perfect. But I guess, and that's no critisising, that < 50 % will succeed. The optimise the video and iterate.
If you do so, I am quite sure, you will at least double your customer base.
Yeees!! Love that critique and POV. You’re right. I want to iterate this video. We are coming out with a version of the app for new people as well. Would love to know your thoughts on it. Coming next week
Refunded and bought Zerowork (replaces taskmagic, but 5x cheaper) + a bunch of other tools in the same amt.
That’s definitely something you can do. Are you going to stay subscribed here on TH-cam!?!! We’d love to have you
@TheJeremyRedman yep, in case things change for the better . No hate on you all, this is a good product. Could have been better on ux, but its the price that's a deal killer. Wayyy too much imho, esp now that there's another option, & even more so since I'm a dev and know exactly how it all works under the hood.
@getdmw respect!! And appreciate it!! It’s really preference with the YX. Some people have loved it but I’ve heard some don’t. Love the feedback on price ;)
Hey Jeremy! Just following up see if you got the channel review I emailed you? If you're still interested in our program to guarantee views & lead gen, let me know!
My device is not able to open the Chromium browser. It keeps crashing and give me error message. I already did many possible fix but nothing (includes that mentioned on troubleshooting section which deleting chromium snapshot folder). What should I do?
Hey apologies for the delay in getting back to this. Idk why this one was hidden. Write us here and let us know and we’ll help. send a video if you can ;) help.taskmagic.com/contact
I admit that a technical person might just glance at the video titles without realizing they should watch them all. Everything looks so well thought out. I appreciate that you have so many videos and care so much about your software.
Dang it!!! What a beautiful comment!! Thanks for that!!! We really did try to stop everyone and go “hey…if you’re logging in…etc etc” stop them in the natural flow of things to teach. Given browser automation is such a new thing ya know
