Here’s exactly what I am doing @ $70k+ a month.
First I just want new clients on a plan with me. I get most of them in by building them a site and then I offer ai services on top of their already reoccurring payment.
I have been in tech for around 10 years working as a dev.
I started an agency with the goal of helping businesses implement ai. So far almost none can really utilize it, maybe 20% of the hundreds of business owners I’ve onboarded understand it, and even less understand the benefits.
I decided to redesign my cold out reach strategy. I use outscraper to search and create spreadsheets of local businesses in the niches I focus. I sort the “website” column and keep only the businesses that have a blank in the website column. For each niche I’m targeting I created a template website where I then edit it, slap on their logo, change some text, and finally record a quick video going through the site, save video. I do this for all the companies on the spreadsheet. Then I will call them highlighting their place on google business (usually it’s 2nd page or worse because no website).I point out the mixture of negative reviews and how I can fix it. Email Them over my business info, the video, and how For $500 a month I’ll build and host the site with x monthly number of updates, and a few other services such as appointment booking, automated follow up/call back, CRM system, etc.
I’ve gotten this down to a science. The real money making comes in when clients ask me how they can grow. This is where I start offering some services with ai which include live chat bots on their site that are trained on everything related to their business and can act as a sales rep and even capture potential lead info, an auto blogger writing content for their niche driving traffic, helping them create new content leveraging ai, and the list goes on. These things are so new that you can often name your own price. So far out of 40 clients with ai services maybe 2 didn’t work out well. But I’d say for the ones that did, they went well because I already proved myself through the site offering so they trust me and didn’t even blink at the pricing.
If someone wanted to repeat what I am doing I would say this guy is probably the one that really got me going. I started the agency in June. https://youtu.be/HCM6ae9IH8E?si=lY0p5bK9OFK4c6x0
