This is by far the best AI automation...
when i started my ai journey back in jan this year...
i hadn't even heard of skool, make, retell, vapi, or n8n. literally no clue.
fast forward a few weeks — there i was, burning 4-6 hours every day on youtube and skool after my 9-5 job, feeling like a tech ninja.
building chatbots, cold calling bots, content machines, fancy appointment systems... all that shiny stuff.
but bro, reality hit HARD.💥. building automations was easy.
getting people to PAY for them? that's where the real game started.
i tried everything the internet gurus screamed about... cold calls, emails, fb ads, linkedin dms, networking, youtube videos, upwork, personalization... felt like a hamster on a wheel.
left my comfy cybersecurity lead role at amazon, said goodbye to big fat salary, and jumped full time into my dream business.
3 months in, i can tell you loud and clear:
"𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗮𝗶 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗟 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺. 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗢𝗗."💣
here are 7 brutal lessons i learned after hitting my first $10k in less than 2 months of selling ai automations:
𝟭. 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝗡𝗬 𝗮𝗶 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻... 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺.
(yeah, alex hormozi said it, and he wasn't kidding.)
𝟮. 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 : for chatbots, voice ai, content bots, anything that saves time + brings leads.
period. no debate.
𝟯. 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗮 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀.
move to voice ai, workflow automations : that's the future if you wanna stay relevant.
𝟰. 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗻.
if you can't pick up the phone and pitch your stuff, stop everything and fix this first. no hiding.
𝟱. 𝗻𝟴𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀.
make.com is faster, easier and can get you your first $10k without losing your hair. scale later, complicate later.
𝟲. 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗿 𝘃𝗮𝗽𝗶 — 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗹.
but if you're budget sensitive, retell is cheaper, works like a charm. (trust me.)
𝟳. 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.
build it.
cold call and give it away free.
get real feedback.
improve it based on what customers cry about.
then either double down or move to a new idea.
use those testimonials, post them everywhere (linkedin, youtube whatever), ask for referrals and THEN start selling properly.
