Top Money-Making Q&As
Question 1
Who should pay for the APIs and platforms used in client automation deployments?
Clients should pay. This removes liability from you, enables affiliate commissions, and makes handoffs easy. You avoid ongoing costs, get affiliate income, and clients can take over systems smoothly if you part ways.
Question 2
How do you prevent clients from canceling your contract and continuing to use the systems you set up?
You can't fully prevent it. Don't rely on lock-in or dark patterns. Focus on delivering ongoing value. If you're generating ROI, most clients won't leave. If they do, move on. Less than 5% will try to nickel and dime.
Question 3
How do you figure out what and how to sell automation systems and build a business around it if you're new?
Don't copy a business model blindly. Learn the structure of service businesses, then apply automation to any step in their workflow. Start with common pain points: lead generation, sales automation, onboarding, fulfillment, retention. Pick one, build for it, sell it as a subscription. Iterate.
