Key Money-Making Insights
The AI automation agency market remains open for newcomers despite increasing competition. Success requires massive action - talking to 50-80 potential clients daily to master pitching and understand market needs. Starting with client conversations first, rather than building tools in isolation, is the most effective approach to identify profitable opportunities.
Top Money-Making Q&As
Question 1
Is the market still open for newcomers for building an AI automation agency, or is it saturated?
Yes, it's still open. The market is never fully open or closed, just varying degrees of difficulty. Your AI/ML engineering experience helps. AI agencies operate at a higher abstraction level, stitching systems together. AI engineering pays more initially, but agency work involves business ownership risks and learning.
Question 2
Is it better to build a few tools or automations first then find clients, or find clients then build specifically for them?
Talk to potential clients first. Jump in and put yourself out there to know what to build. Maker School helps find your feet. Start with client conversations.
Question 3
How are you so good at talking and pitching? Do you have any tips for that or you just built like that?
Massive action. I used to talk to 50 to 80 new businesses a day for over a year and a half doing door knocking and cold calling. Practice makes you articulate offers clearly. Talk slower, plan roughly what to say, and use aids like bullet points or cards if needed.
