Here's how you actually sell AI
The speaker outlines a first-level AI monetization strategy by selling content creation services (blogs, newsletters, social media) to local businesses for around $1,000/month. The key insight is that most business owners don't want to learn AI tools themselves, making them willing customers for this service despite widespread perception that everyone is already doing this.
Summary
The speaker describes what they call 'Level one of making money in AI,' focusing on selling content output services. The strategy involves creating various types of content—websites, sales scripts, podcast content—and then directly contacting local service businesses like gyms, HVAC companies, and plumbing companies with a service offering. The speaker suggests pricing this service at around $1,000 per month and positioning it as a comprehensive solution that manages the client's blog, newsletter, tweets, and social media presence. The pitch targets business owners who are stressed about content creation and management responsibilities. The speaker emphasizes that despite the market perception that everyone is capitalizing on AI, the reality is that most people aren't actually doing this work. The key to success, according to the speaker, is recognizing that the majority of business owners refuse to learn how to use AI tools themselves, making them ideal customers for outsourced content creation services. This creates a market opportunity for anyone willing to actually implement this strategy.
