AI Automation Money-Making Insights

Key Money-Making Insights

Nick reveals how contractors already making $20k/month can transition to automation agencies using existing skills and LinkedIn for social proof. The fastest path to revenue is direct outbound when you have no audience, with proper follow-up techniques that remove all friction from scheduling calls. Smart hiring practices like $25-50 paid trials help avoid costly mistakes when building your team.

Top Money-Making Q&As

Question 1

I make $20k/month contracting with my corp. How is starting an automation agency different? Is my niche good? Can I use my LinkedIn for outreach? What's the benefit of Maker School for me?

It's not different; you're already doing it. Your niche is fine. Yes, use your LinkedIn for social proof, just not in the first email. For you, Maker School's value is networking and direct access to me. You're past the other stuff.

Question 2

You said outbound is better than inbound. Can you explain why?

You misunderstood. Outbound is the straightest path to money when you have no distribution. When you're nobody, you go to the customer directly. Inbound is higher leverage, but only after you have an audience. The strategy changes as your power grows.

Question 3

How can I find a good, affordable video editor?

Use job platforms like Upwork or Indeed. Force applicants to do a paid trial. Pay $25-50 for a test edit. It saves you from hiring the wrong person. I do this for everyone.
