Guys, I got my third client this week. I don't even know how this is happening. A few months ago, I was struggling to close even one client in a month or two. Now I'm getting two to three clients per week who easily pay me $1,000+. I think they like the quality of work I deliver and the fact that I turn things around in 24 hours. That speed + quality combo seems to be what makes them happy. Just wanted to share this insight because it's wild how fast things can shift when you focus on delivering real value. Also, if any community member needs online presence—websites, landing pages, design work—I can help with that. I build everything at affordable rates so it doesn't drain your budget. Let me know if you need anything. Always happy to connect and work together on something great 💪

Spent the last 3 weeks digging through: - 47 completed client projects (from this community + other groups) - Invoice amounts ranging from $500 to $8,500 - Direct conversations with 12 automation builders who closed deals Expected to find: "Complex workflows = higher pay" What I actually found: Clients don't pay for complexity. They pay for speed to relief. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 HIGH-PAYING projects ($2,000+): - 89% solved a pain the client felt daily - Average implementation time: 3-7 days - Most common phrase in the pitch: "You'll never have to *painful task* again" LOW-PAYING projects ($300-800): - 76% were "nice to have" features - Average implementation time: 2-4 weeks - Most common phrase: "This will make things more efficient" The Pattern Nobody Talks About: The $6,200 invoice? -> Automated appointment reminders for a medical clinic losing $4K/month in no-shows -> 4-day turnaround -> Client felt relief on day 5 The $8,500 invoice? -> Lead response automation for a solar company missing 40% of inbound leads -> 6-day implementation -> Client closed 2 deals in the first week that paid for the entire project The $400 invoice? -> Beautiful 18-node workflow that generated weekly analytics reports -> 3-week build time -> Client looked at it twice in a month 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 Stop asking: "How complex can I make this?" Start asking: "How fast can I eliminate their daily pain?" The builders making $5K-$15K/month aren't building the most impressive workflows. They're finding people who are: 1. Manually doing something repetitive every single day 2. Losing money or time because of it 3. Desperate for it to stop Then solving it in under a week. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐬 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 High payment = Daily pain × Fast relief × Measurable impact Not: High payment = Technical complexity × Node count × Integration difficulty 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐘𝐎𝐔 For those who've landed clients: What pain were they feeling daily, and how fast did you relieve it?
