@Ankush Dev recently asked the following and here are my answers, hope this helps!! - How do I actually sell these automations? You need to know the problem you are solving and how big a problem it is, how much would people pay realistically to solve it. if they would pay as much as you charged for it you have a great solution, go for those! - How should I structure and position my offers? If you solve a big enough problem you dont need to structure or position it at all it will sell itself. The HARDEST part is finding that problem! - What’s the best way to deliver an AI agent or automation to a client once it’s ready? Create a N8N HOSTED account for them, maanged and run by N8N. Tell them the monthly charge + any markup or additional support/maintenance fees as a monthly subscription use the N8N levels of costs to calc overages or plan upgrades when needed. - When it comes to ongoing usage, who usually covers the API costs — me or the client? You cover it all and bill them 1 subscription, It's important to set out usage caps and what happens if those caps are reached, new tier of subscription, overage charges etc. Make sure to WARN them well in advanced of hitting and caps/limits. - Should I price based on one-time setup, monthly retainers, or usage-based billing? Monthly + Setup, most people understand this and you can work on the setup fee to sign a customer. - How do you handle clients who don’t understand technical costs like APIs or hosting? They don't have to its a subscription that solves their biggest pain and allows them to grow and be stress free, its emotions! - What’s the most beginner-friendly way to package and deliver these solutions (so the client doesn’t need to touch code)? You setup a N8N account for this client, you manage the workflows, etc they just pay the subscription + support + dev + maintenance etc fees. Rem this is going to be done ENTIRELY by AI in the next 12-24 months so hustle!

But now I’m stuck on the business side: - How do I actually sell these automations? - How should I structure and position my offers? - What’s the best way to deliver an AI agent or automation to a client once it’s ready? - When it comes to ongoing usage, who usually covers the API costs — me or the client? - Should I price based on one-time setup, monthly retainers, or usage-based billing? - How do you handle clients who don’t understand technical costs like APIs or hosting? - What’s the most beginner-friendly way to package and deliver these solutions (so the client doesn’t need to touch code)? -

When I first heard about self-hosting n8n with Ngrok, I thought it was going to be super hard. I delayed it for days, thinking I’d probably mess it up or get stuck in the middle. But once I finally gave it a try, I realized something powerful: most things look harder than they actually are until you take that first step. This small win gave me a lot of confidence to start documenting my journey and sharing what I learn. That’s why I created my first YouTube video on this exact setup. 👉 If you’ve ever felt that tech setups are “too difficult,” this video is for you. I break it down step by step so you can get it running without frustration. Here’s the link to my video: https://youtu.be/sZqqEMJvXnw This is just the beginning for me, and I hope it motivates you to start your first step too. 🚀

I haven’t shared much about the business side of things or what we do at TrueHorizon, but I’ve been getting a ton of questions about it lately. So I’m thinking of making some content around how I sell these n8n agents and automations, but want to know what you would find most helpful. Please vote below if you’re interested! (I plan to cover lots of stuff, but doing a pulse check on where to start)
