Key Money-Making Insights
Nick emphasizes hosting all automation tools on client accounts to maximize profit margins through affiliate commissions while reducing liability. He advocates for high-ticket services over low-ticket automation, noting that cold email works best for B2B niches with perceived high-value offerings. The focus should be on building systems that command premium pricing rather than competing on volume at lower price points.
Top Money-Making Q&As
Question 1
Can you give a detailed guide on onboarding, payments for chat API/different services, and managing account access?
Host everything on the client's account. Client pays for all services—ChatGPT API, PandaDoc, Instantly, Make.com, etc. Three reasons: 1) Use affiliate links for extra margin. 2) Simplifies handoff if you stop working together. 3) Removes your liability for tool payments. If clients complain about paying, you haven't built enough value.
Question 2
Can low-ticket automations ($1500 or less) work if sold in volume? Is this safer for clients and faster for beginners?
Low-ticket works, but juice isn't worth the squeeze. My skillset and acquisition model favor high-ticket. Cold email is less effective for low-ticket. Most leverage is in perceived high-value, white-glove service—hard to do at $50–100 price point.
Question 3
How many domains do I need for cold email? Should I buy pre-warmed mailboxes or warm them up myself?
Pre-warmed mailboxes cost more but let you start immediately. Warming up yourself is cheaper (Zapmail, $3–4/mailbox/month). Five or six domains for 15–20 mailboxes. Takes 2–3 weeks to warm up. Connect to Instantly, let it handle warmup.
