What automation services are more relevant when you're just launching a business? (alien.top)

I have decided that I will freelance myself for free.

The goal? Help companies automating their tasks and build some portfolio of my own.

I'll target small companies that might not have the resources to hire full-time people.

Which types of automation would you say are more necessary when the company is 6-12 months old and has less than 10 people?

"I'll target small companies that might not have the resources to hire full-time people."

I know this is not the question but IMO dont target this group. There are bigger companies that dont hire for a variety of reasons and money is not one of them. They rather spend on outsourcing than in-house. You will be much richer targeting these folks. The hard part is getting an "IN" but worth it. You only need a few of these clients and your set.

Network before starting this at local meetup.com

Second, dont come up with solutions in an ivory tower (on your own). Find your first client and they will have not shortage of automation tasks they are ready to pay for.

Thanks for the reply. Rather than getting richer, for now, the goal is to have those first success cases in hand that might open the door for more significant projects.

Thanks for sharing meetup.com! will check it out.
