Running a one-person digital business means every hour spent on repetitive tasks is an hour not spent building. n8n became the backbone of how I keep that ratio in my favor.
My core workflows: podcast publishing (RSS to every social platform via the Ayrshare API), an AI-powered GitHub bug reporter that triages incoming issues, an automated code reviewer for pull requests, and a push-to-deploy pipeline that ships straight to Docker.
None of this is exotic, it is mostly webhook triggers chained to API calls. The unlock was treating automation as infrastructure, not as a one-off script. Once a workflow is built once, it runs forever for free.
