Most automation builders are sitting on way more value than they're charging for. And honestly it's not their fault because nobody really teaches you how to price this work. You do what feels logical. You think about how long the build took, come up with a number that feels fair, the client says yes almost immediately and somewhere in the back of your mind you already know you left money on the table. The thing is your client doesn't care how long it took you to build something, they care about what their business looks like after the problem is gone. If your automation saves someone 15 hours a week, that's not a $200 project, that's a $1,500 a month conversation. The build is just the entry point and the outcome is where the real value lives. Before your next client call, sit with this: what does this problem cost them every month it goes unsolved? --- Drop your answers below 👇 1. What's the last automation you built and did you charge what it was worth? 2. Retainer or one time payment, what's been working better for you? 3. Where do you get stuck most, figuring out the value or actually saying the number out loud?

How to Pitch Automation Without Sounding Like a Sales Bro Stop pitching tools. Nobody cares. Bad pitch: “I build AI automations using n8n and agents.” Good pitch: “I help [niche] reply faster to leads so they don’t lose deals.” Your pitch must answer one question: What problem do you remove? If your pitch needs: slides long explanations technical terms It’s weak. Clear beats clever. Always. 🧐Questions:-> 1. How you're pitching your builds? 2. any add-ons? 3. which point is more useful? 4. where you're struggling in your work which pitching?

I am feeling, we are losing our skills by focusing only on AI instead of developing tools or developing skills

Hi everyone, I’m Claire, a senior CS major in Korea with about a year left until graduation. Up until a year ago, I was on the path to becoming a Frontend Developer. But after seeing AI's capabilities, I’ve decided to pivot into AI Automation Freelancing😂 I’ve been diving into this world for about two weeks now, mostly inspired by Nate Herk’s content. My schedule is a bit lighter now that my full-time internship is over, so I’m ready to go all-in on learning and monetizing this. But honestly, I’ve hit a bit of a wall regarding my next step.. Here are the two things I’m really struggling with: 1. The "n8n vs. Agentic" Dilemma Looking at Nate’s videos, it seems like AI agentic workflows (like Claude Code) are the future. However, when I look at marketplaces like Fiverr, everything is still heavily centered around "n8n automation." In 2026, is mastering n8n still worth it? Or should I focus purely on identifying industry problems and solving them via Claude Code/custom workflows?? 2. The Delivery/Hand-off Process If I go the custom agentic route instead of using a low-code tool like n8n, how do I actually "deliver" the final product to a non-technical client? - Should I be building a custom UI wrapper or a dashboard where they can input their own API keys? - What’s the industry standard for handing off these kinds of custom AI solutions? I’ve been thinking this for a week and feel like I’m losing my sense of direction. I’m ready to put in the work—I just want to make sure I’m climbing the right mountain. Would love to hear any insights perspectives from this community. Thanks a lot in advance! 🫶
