I just hit a milestone: my first $1,000 earned online!
I’ve successfully made over $1,000 by creating automation agents—simple programs designed to tackle various online tasks. These agents help with lead generation, purchasing items, booking appointments, consolidating data, and even automating responses. After spending some time in this niche, I have a few insights I’d like to share:
-
Trust in Your Abilities: I didn’t realize I had the skills to build agents until I tried. I honestly doubted that my first agent would work, but to my surprise, it did! It helped a client secure numerous sneaker purchases, ultimately earning him thousands in resale profits.
-
Charge Based on Value: If your agent saves time or generates revenue, quantify that value for your client. For example, if your agent saves them 100 hours and their time is valued at $200/hour, that’s a whopping $20,000 in savings. Price your services accordingly.
-
Focus on Recurring Revenue: I’ve tried both one-time payments and monthly subscriptions, and I’ve found that the subscription model is far more profitable in the long run.
-
Learn from Those Ahead of You: Having a mentor who is knowledgeable about agents has been invaluable. They taught me so much in just a few months—what could have taken me a year on my own.
-
Always Test the Login Functionality First: Make sure the agent can log into the required website successfully. This step is crucial, as it’s often the most challenging part and can make or break a project.
The opportunities in this field are vast, and I’m excited about what the future holds!
