Key Money-Making Insights
Focus on high-value platforms like Upwork where clients are ready to buy rather than cold outreach for beginners. There's always room for another $10k/month automation agency entrant, even as templates become commoditized. Your value moves up the stack to finding problems and delivering results, not just building automations.
Top Money-Making Q&As
Question 1
Why do you advise using Upwork instead of cold outreach to begin with?
Upwork leads are high on the buying ladder—they know their problem, want a solution, and are picking a vendor. You only need to solve one problem: prove you're the best option. Cold outreach means you need to educate, convince, and sell—hard for beginners. Upwork also has low capital outlay, so you're not risking much money up front.
Question 2
Automation workflow templates are commoditized. What's the next step?
Templates are commoditized, but it doesn't matter. You're not selling templates, you're selling results and client experience. There's always space for another $10k/month entrant. Commoditization only matters at huge scale.
Question 3
How do you justify a high-ticket retainer when the automation runs without your ongoing involvement?
The system delivers value for the client 24/7. Every win is attributed to you. The retainer covers strategy, ongoing consulting, team training, and peace of mind. You transition from builder to advisor.
