Nick shares his origin story of scaling 1secondcopy to $92k per month by automating writing with AI and adding human editors. He emphasizes that consistency beats talent, and agencies should focus on getting their first client through aggressive outreach rather than perfecting their setup.
Top Money-Making Q&As
Question 1
I'm 19, started an agency with two friends. We have a website and portfolio but no clients. What should we do and how do we divide tasks?
You don't have a business, you have a project. The only task is getting a client. All three of you get on Upwork and start applying for jobs. Send 90 applications in three days. Show, don't tell. You'll learn more from one $200 project than from me talking for two hours.
Question 2
Can you tell us the origin story of your first agency, 1secondcopy?
Started as a freelance writer. Found GPT-3 and automated cheap Fiverr writing gigs. My partner Noah suggested adding human editors to increase quality and price. We scaled it to $92k a month. The bad part: ChatGPT came out, our value proposition dropped, so we pivoted to Leftclick, an agency that grows with AI, not one that gets replaced by it.
Question 3
Can you explain how MCP (Multi-Step Chain of Prompting) would be valuable to private equity firms?
PE firms systematize businesses they acquire. Traditionally, this means building complex software systems. With MCP, you just write SOPs in plain text. The agent reads the SOP and executes the task. It turns laborious system implementation into a simple text-based playbook you can deploy across a portfolio. The main obstacle is that the agents aren't 100% reliable yet.
