The ROI

What it's costing you to do this by hand

$3–5 / clip

a 3–5 min avatar clip; $15–40 for a full 5–10 min video with retries (HeyGen bills per avatar-minute)

No camera, no editor

front a channel — or run it per client as a service — without filming or editing a thing

Then the price reads as trivial.

This is for you if…

  • Marketers, creators, or small agencies who want real YouTube presence without filming themselves or hiring an editor
  • Anyone with a channel worth protecting who wants the work automated but the judgment kept human

Not for…

  • Anyone wanting to blast auto-generated videos to YouTube unattended — that's the exact pattern that gets channels demonetized

What you walk away with

The deliverables — shown, not claimed

The importable agent

Topic → script → avatar → review sheet, ready to run in your n8n.

Prompt pack

The script-writer prompt + the depth anti-slop scoring gate, copy-paste ready.

Accounts checklist

Which accounts to make and where each key/ID goes.

Run sheet (00_HUMAN)

Import, connect, run — and what to do when something breaks.

Wax-sealed certificate

Yours when your agent makes its first approved video.

Your reference shelf

The setup guides, guardrails and connector snippets every build reuses — do them once, keep them forever.

Depth & failure-modes

We show what breaks — and the fix

The script invents a statistic or quote

Keep the 'use only facts you're sure of' rule in the prompt; for factual videos, paste your own source notes into the topic.

HeyGen says 'out of credits' (402)

Use a standard avatar (~$1/min), not the premium one, and don't let the agent retry on a 402 — that just burns more.

The render hangs or times out

The wait-and-check loop (built into the template) is what prevents the timeout; start with short 3–5 min scripts while learning.

From the workshop

We run Agent Wes on these same agents. Every course is built by a research-and-critique pipeline, then human-checked before it ships.

Proof

Letters from builders

Sample

Recovered ~30% of dropped leads

I used to lose leads that came in after hours. Now the agent scores them overnight and the hot ones are on my phone by 7am. We've closed three jobs we'd have missed.

Sample

Replies up from 3% to 14%

The follow-up agent is relentless in the polite way I never am. It stops the second someone replies. I got 11 meetings last month without touching my outbox.
