What People Say About Sifu Yik’s Training:

About Sifu Yik Chan

Welcome to my corner of the internet. I’m Yik Chan—though many in my community know me as Sifu Yik.

I am an 8-figure serial entrepreneur, eCommerce expert, and AI mentor. My mission is simple: to decode the complexities of the modern digital economy so you can build a business that serves your life, rather than consumes it.

Why Substack?

The business world in 2026 moves fast. We are no longer just in an era of eCommerce; we are in the era of AI-driven automation. Since starting this journey in August 2025, I've been sharing 10-12 posts daily on AI tips, tools, and tutorials. That's over 1,000+ valuable resources plus hundreds of AI image and video prompts. The challenge? Finding specific content on my profile has become difficult.

On this Substack, I strip away the fluff to give you high-signal insights on:

  • The 2026 AI Stack: Building efficient business systems with fewer tools and better results.

  • Organic Wealth Building: Strategies to scale 7-figure online ventures without burning through ad spend.

  • Prompt Engineering & Automation: Practical ways to use AI for content creation, sales, and operations.

What You’ll Find

The site is already populated with recent posts, and I’m working to backlog everything systematically. Here’s my priority order:

  1. All future posts added daily

  2. Video prompts (high demand!)

  3. Image prompts

  4. Complete post archive

Organized by Topic

Everything will be searchable and grouped into dedicated sections:

  • Image Prompts

  • Video Prompts

  • AI Tools

  • AI Tips

  • YouTube Strategies

  • Content Creation

  • Money/Wealth

  • Wisdom

  • And more!

My Journey

I didn’t start with a “secret formula.” I started as a science graduate from The University of Hong Kong with a curiosity for how systems work. That curiosity led to:

  • Building multiple 8-figure businesses from the ground up.

  • Winning two Shopify Milestones Awards (100k+ orders).

  • Being featured in Forbes and Yahoo Finance for my approach to eCom and AI.

  • Founding YNC Academy, where I’ve helped thousands of students transition from 9-to-5s to automated business ownership.

What You Get as a Subscriber

When you subscribe, you aren’t just getting another newsletter. You’re getting a front-row seat to the experiments I’m running in my own businesses. You will receive:

  1. Weekly AI Insights: The specific tools and prompts I’m using right now to save time and increase profit.

  2. Case Studies: Real-world breakdowns of how to launch and scale organic brands in today’s market.

If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start building, you’re in the right place.

Thank you for your patience and continued support as I build this comprehensive resource for our community.
