I sold my AI agency. here's the playbook
In September 2024 I started an AI automation agency. Nine months later I was doing $100K/month in recurring revenue. Then I sold my share to my partners. I took everything I learned: - The client acquisition system - The pricing - The delivery process ā¦ and I turned it into a step-by-step playbook for building a one-person AI agency. No code. No team. No guesswork. See exactly what's inside: -> I sold my AI agency. here's the playbook PS: If you are an AIS+ member, this is included in the Scale module. No need to purchase separately. - Nate

To become an agency or not?
After a while you'll reach a point where you might want to go down the agency route. The only issue? I've run into too many businesses that don't want to work with me if I operate an agency. Every single time they've said that, I found it kind of weird because I didn't fully understand the problem. But after doing some digging I figured it out. What seems to happen when a business works with an agency: - The response time from the agency starts to get slower and slower - The person in charge is not the most skilled, but the cheapest person to manage the system - When the system breaks it takes forever to fix it And the agency has multiple clients to juggle, so they can't put all of their attention on one single business. But as a freelancer you could probably handle 5 clients at the same time and make it work. So it raises the question, when should you go from one person to an agency? For me, I'll skip the agency path. I can manage between 3 to 5 clients easily without any extra help. And if I have too many clients, I'd rather raise my prices and have fewer, which is what I've been doing. From my experience, 5 clients at $2k to $5k each is something I can manage. And most businesses rarely need help 24/7. What about you? Does the agency route seem interesting, or would you rather stay a solo freelancer?

Day 1 Build - Automated Newsletter
What I built: A fully automated newsletter system using Claude Code that researches a topic, writes the content, designs it in my brand, and outputs a ready-to-send HTML email. First time ever using Claude Code. š¤Æ One thing that clicked for me: The CLAUDE.md file is everything. Once I dropped my brand guidelines in there ā my colours, fonts, tone of voice, target audience ā Claude Code just knew. It stopped writing for corporate AI companies and started writing for Pilates studio owners. That moment when I saw my actual brand colours and fonts in the output... I was not ready š One thing I'd improve next iteration: The content topic was still a bit broad. Next time I want to give it a more specific studio owner problem ā like cancellations or waitlist gaps ā so the writing gets even more targeted to my audience. Honest reflection: I had no idea what I was doing half the time. I just said yes to every bash command and trusted the process š But that's the point right? You don't need to understand everything ā you just need to keep moving. On to Day 2 ā MCP servers ššæ
