Key Money-Making Insights
Nick emphasizes value-based pricing and targeting businesses with real money and pain points, starting with small intro offers before moving to recurring deals. He recommends budgeting around $150/month for automation tools and warns that most beginners make $5-10k gross in 90 days rather than the ambitious $50k figures. The key is massive outreach volume - prepare to email 5,000-20,000 leads, not just 500.
Top Money-Making Q&As
Question 1
How should I price my automation services as a beginner? Should I target small/local businesses or go after firms with capital? Monthly recurring or something else?
Don't conflate target audience with pricing. Go after businesses with money and real pain. Use value-based pricing. Start with a small intro offer—quick, scoped, high-impact. Only after that, offer a recurring deal. Avoid monthly retainer at first.
Question 2
How do you price your systems for a repeat client with a technical build that saves them 3 hours/client onboarding?
Use value-based pricing. Calculate hours saved × employee rate, but also consider opportunity cost (e.g., new clients). Charge about a third of the total value delivered.
Question 3
Do you have stats showing agency owners making $50k in 90 days from your program?
Some do, but it's rare. Most make $5–10k gross in 90 days. Case studies are in the Maker School 'wins' tab—contact them yourself. No Stripe access. I trust what people post.
