How to land your first client This is hands down the best way to land your first client for your AI automation agency. And this isn't your typical AI guru video that tells you to go and sell basic AI agents like this for $3,000. Instead, I'll walk you through what it really takes to grow a highly profitable AI automation agency. First, start learning the basics of no-code platforms, and you can do this completely for free. Make have a free course called Make Academy, which will take you from a beginner to advanced, and n8n has tons of free tutorials on building AI agents on YouTube. Make has a free plan and you can self-host n8n for free, so there's really no excuses on why you can't learn these platforms. Now, we need to start emailing as many businesses as possible, but don't do this one mistake I see everyone do. Instead of trying to sell something to these leads straight away, instead offer them something valuable like a free AI audit. This is where we uncover bottlenecks in their business that can be automated with AI and give them a report on how to fix them. I've done a full video breakdown on how to do AI audits inside my free community. Once we've identified the bottlenecks, we can now offer to build the automation for this business. But here's a tip: if you're a beginner, you probably won't know how to build this automation. This is where you offer a steep discount as this is the first time building this automation, and you can ask for testimonials and referrals in return. Once you've done this, there's a good chance this client will come back to you with another problem that they want automated, and that's when you can get your first paying client. Keep repeating this process and you'll build up your skill set and the clients will come.
