If you want to make money online using AI, but you just hate posting on social media, you’re not even good with camera, you have zero followers, no testimonials, this video is for you. And here’s what most people say. They say before you reach out to businesses, you have to have some testimonials and that way you can gain trust and show some proof. But what happens if you don’t have any testimonial? Then they say start posting online and that way that can be your proof. But what if if you don’t like to post and if you hate waiting the endless game of social media? Honestly, that’s exactly where I was 10 months ago. I had all the intention to make money online using AI, but I’m like, I don’t have any testimonials. I don’t want to go back to social media world. That was my thought. The feeling that I had was actually the exactly same feeling when I was first trying to get my credit card. When I was going to different banks trying to get credit card, they say I need credit score. And I asked him how do I get credit score is through getting a credit card. I’m like what do you mean? But anyways by using this method that I’m going to talk about in this video I was able to get my first client in AI space within 2 weeks of starting this business that was without testimonial. I didn’t have social media following in this specific area. And one of my community member, Mar, she took this exact approach. And within her first week of doing this, she closed $8,000 a month contract. And now she’s about 8 weeks in and she grew her agency to $38,000 within 8 weeks. Not to say she has a toddler as well as she has a full-time job. So she she only had 2 to three hours a day to spend towards her business. And for me, exactly the same thing. I still have my full-time job. I’m the mama of three kiddos and I still closed a deal of $3,000 within the first two weeks and soon enough I was able to increase that $3,000 to 5.5k monthly retainer because I was able to deliver the result. And as promised, I’ll be showing you exact steps and that way you can also apply this for yourself. But I just want to have a quick disclaimer. This is not a get-rich quick scheme. No, it’s not. It’s not like one of those passive income. It is not. You have to put your work to this method. So work is required and if you’re looking for something easy, this video is probably not for you. All right, so let’s break this down so you have some action items. Step number one is pick your niche and your offer. So this is what you’re going to do. You’re not going to pick just one niche and one offer, but you’re going to pick two niches and two offers. That’s exactly what you’re going to do. The reason why you’re doing that is because I want you to try one niche and one offer at least for 90 to 100 days. And if that’s not working, I need you to move fast. Okay? So, what we’re going to do is we are going to dedicate our time to really hammer down one niche and one offer towards the beginning. But I want you to have a backup plan right away. And that way, in case this first offer and first niche is not working, you are going to go to the second one right away. Because one of the most important thing is you’re getting your momentum going and you’re building muscles when it comes to actually taking actions and growing your business. So that’s the reason why I want you to pick two niches and two offers for this specific business model. And some of you might be wondering, Sandy, I don’t know my niche. I don’t know my offer. I got nothing to offer. Well, I promise you, you do. Yes. Yes, you do. It doesn’t matter if you’re a teenager. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been a stay-home mom or dad forever. What I’m about to tell you is you don’t need a job title. No, you’re not applying for a job right now. You’re applying for a job. Yes, maybe they’re looking for your previous company’s job title so they can match or whatever, but you’re not doing that. You’re building your AI agency. And for this case, what really matters is the description of what you’ve done in the past. It doesn’t matter if it’s a volunteer work you did. Doesn’t matter if it’s a job that you did description, but something that you did in the past. This is where AI can kick in. I need you to utilize AI as much as possible during this process. And that way, you’re not overwhelmed with trying to figure this out by yourself. AI is going to be your best companion with this process. And the very first prompt that you’re going to put, whether Claude or Chachi is this, this prompt specifically is going to help you find your niche and your offer. And you need to find two. Don’t forget that. And if you’re part of my community member, every single prompt and this whole process is going to be in under resources. So you can just go here and click that. And if you’re not part of my community member, just pause this video and then take a screenshot and then feed it to AI. You can do that too. Now the second prompt you’re going to ask is exactly telling AI your situation. You can tell them that hey this is the gap that I have. My situation is ABC. I’m a stay at home mom for 10 plus years and this is what I did in the past. This is my passion. Just talk to AI about your situation. So that’s the prompt that you can put in there. AI is going to ask you some questions if you put this prompt. And prompt number three is narrow it down to test fast. Yes, like I mentioned before, you’re going to pick two different niches and two different offer based on the work that you did in the past or experience that you have in the past. The AI will pinpoint this to you. I promise you it will. When I started this process, I thought I had nothing to offer. I’m like, I am not really good at this or that and I I got nothing to offer. But I didn’t realize this, but I actually have a ton to offer to people. And I didn’t realize that until I actually talked to AI about it. And the other thing is the niche that I jumped in to get my first client, which I’m going to talk to you about that in about a minute. That niche, I personally have never been in that niche before. I learn everything with AI during the whole process. So I’ll talk to you about this. But let’s go over step number two right now, which is really important step, which is finding clients. Now during this step, we’re going to talk about a couple different ways to find clients. And I’m going to tell you based on my own experience, based on my clients experience, my community members experience, my friends experience. So the very first method that I’m going to talk to you about is Upwork. Okay, Upwork. I do have mixed feelings about it just because I feel like it’s a very competitive place to find work. However, there’s a ton of people who’s willing to pay you too. So, there’s a lot of different opportunities. Supply and demand is like really really high for both. Supply and demand is high in Upwork. So, from that being said, it’s competitive but it works. And recently I had a podcast with Mar and this is exactly where she find her clients. This is where I found my client and a couple of my friends are continuously finding client through Upwork. So, if you’re a complete beginner, this is a great place to get your feet wet just because there’s a lot of different companies looking for freelancers right away. So, here is a couple tips about Upwork. So, in Upwork, something that is important, you have this verification mark. So, make sure it’s verified so you don’t look like you’re one of those scammers. And the other thing is this green button right here. It’s very fascinating because study shows that if you have this green button specifically, there is about 30%. That’s huge. 30% increase when it comes to the client hiring you. Do you know why? Because whenever you have this green button, then people feel like, oh, this person’s available to talk, so I would love to talk to talk to this person. And then they just message you right away. The other thing is make sure your pictures are a little bit more clear. I know this is a little bit blurry over here because I zoomed in so much. Make sure it’s pretty clean color. One solid color is pretty good, too. Because when I was hiring people on Upwork, everybody had like just random pictures. They’re looking aside doesn’t really look confident. So, that didn’t look that well. So, make sure it has something like that. And the other thing is if you don’t have a testimonial or proof, this is where you can put a lot of portfolio. So what businesses really care is can you do the job. So if you have a portfolio of like your past project that you’ve been working on by yourself, you know, I’m talking about if you put like one to two hours to learn this project and complete this project using clot code or codeex. This is where you can put this projects in portfolio. Back then I use NAN because cloud codes was not a thing. So this is literally what it looked like. This is pretty fascinating, isn’t it? And then you can also put some skills in here. And so there’s a lot of tips and tricks that you can learn. I actually have a video that I talk a little bit more about this specific thing that you can watch over here. Also, I do talk about how you can automate some of the application process when it comes to Upwork. In that way, you’re not against Upwork’s violation, but this AI feature will do a lot of research for you. In that way, you can save a lot of time when it comes to applying for jobs in Upwork. Okay, I want to slow down a little bit just because I want to explain to you a little bit more about my very first client when it comes to in this AI agency world. So, my very first client was in AI SEO, search engine optimization. So, back in the day, I knew a little bit about SEO just because I’ve been in sales for 10 plus year and and learned marketing throughout, but SEO was not my biggest strength and I’ve never done the actual specific work when it comes to SEO. But here’s what I knew. I knew that a lot of different people didn’t really know what AI visibility meant. So I just thought to myself if I learn this things I can be really expert in this and deliver the result for a company eventually seeing really good result and that’s exactly what I did when it comes to SEO for this specific company I work with. I was able to help with AI visibility and eventually that led to more revenue and sale. I was able to increase a monthly retainer because they’ve gained so much result out of my services. Basically, I read a trend and I understood company’s problem or some of the problems that they want to be solved and I literally talked about that. That’s what I did. And even compared to end of last year, right now is even more focused. And honestly, this whole SEO has changed a little bit. As an example, if you ask Chachip a question, they’re not going to just give you answer based on the memorization, anything like that. know they’re going to do a bunch of research about different sources they can pull up and decide if this is a trusted source versus not trusted source and then give you recommendation or answer based on their research and Gemini is doing the exactly same thing as well as perplexity clot and even Google whenever you search something on Google this is the very first thing you get is which is AI overview and it will summarize and then pull all different resources and then couple different videos that you have that is AI visibility. So honestly this is a really good niche by the way SEO itself is a really really good niche and what a lot of companies do fear is not just do I rank on Google anymore. No it’s more of a am I visible or am I invisible to AI when I search my company. That’s literally what everybody is thinking. And if they don’t have enough resource for AI to pull, they are pretty much invisible. So if you wondering what niche is a good niche, yeah, this is a fantastic niche. And honestly, when I was learning about this AI visibility and AI SEO, I had no idea how to actually do it. And one of the tool that helped me a ton and I still use this until this day is called Samrush. I partnered with Simrush in my previous video because I actively use this for my business and I do recommend this for people who’s looking to learn about SEO and improve your SEO. So for my clients that I had, I was able to use this tool. So their keyword research has been really good for their blogs which was so helpful for AI visibility. So whenever people search on ChachiBT back then so that company specifically came up each time it was always top five and thank you to Samrush who’s a sponsor of our video and they are very generous and they have offered this 14-day free trial that you can try. Usually it’s 7 days but they increased it for us so we can try it for longer. So I highly recommend this. So I’ll put the link in the description below so you can check this out. All right, let’s go with the second method of finding your client. This is actually by far one of my favorite method, which is going to the local event. And whenever you go to the local event, this one is super fascinating just because there’s a lot of different people in this world that they have not use AI. So there’s a study that talks about how 83% of the people in this world, they have not used AI in the past. And out of the 17% only 12% of the people have actually used chat GPT or claw or Gemini just the very basic AI feature and only 5% have used codeex or clot code in a agentic workflow. So from that being said, a lot of people they know the importance of AI and they feel like they’re going to get behind. They have this FOMO about around AI, especially if you go to local event. If you drop the word AI, people will be like, “Oh, I want to talk to you.” Yeah, I have to learn all of this and you will get this mixed feeling. Some people stressed out and some people just seem like they’re very interested in you to do it. This is what you can do. give this specific prompt to Claude or Chat GPT and they can find those in-person networking events for you. If you do it manually, my gosh, it takes forever. So, have AI do it and have them prioritize it and then make sure you go. And when you’re there, there are a couple things that you can do. I want you to prepare your pitch as much as possible. Okay? Try to make sure your pitch is there and just make sure you sound good. This is where you can try those two different offers. one event you can try one offer and the other event if you want to try other offer you can try to do that too and see which one you gain more attraction you can try to do that too right now we’re hammering down this one offer one niche for now right so if you were to do that going to local network event is one of the best way the other way is literally go door knocking like cold door knocking and then visiting different places but one thing that I’m going to tell you is using Samrush you’ll have a visibility tracking method so whenever You type different business’s website, you can just literally put it inside stem rush and you’ll be able to get all different insight in here. So you’ll be able to see how many visibility that you have when it comes to AI versus how many does your competitor have and what about that competitor the other competitor. So you can pull up this report and if you show this to your potential client, you can say so this is some of the report that I pulled up on the internet and honestly you have so much potential compared to your competitor. Just imagine having just imagine doubling and tripling the numbers of when it comes to AI visibility. So you can pull up couple different reports and just tell them exactly how you can help them with AI visibility. So this is one of the feature that I would use. You can use the competitor research feature here as well and the prompt research feature as well. So you’ll be able to tell which one is actually getting the volume. Kind of like a keyword research back in the day with Google. Kind of similar topic about that too. Brand performance. So there’s a lot of different tools that you can use and traffic and market is another one that I use as well. But again, I’ll put the link in the description below so you can check that out and then use it when it comes to actually visiting different places. Now let’s talk about third method of getting your first client which is through LinkedIn. LinkedIn is amazing platform. I wish I’m active on LinkedIn a little bit more personally, but I just don’t have that much time. I love YouTube. What can I say? I am focusing on Instagram soon. Like pretty soon I’m going to refocus on Instagram and then I’ll go to LinkedIn later. I just can’t do all at once. But anyways, LinkedIn is a really really good platform and one of my really good friend Jean, she talks about there’s so much opportunity on LinkedIn. It is not as saturated compared to Instagram or YouTube. If you are targeting business owners or different small business founders, entrepreneurs, LinkedIn is the best way. So, one of the strategy that I can say when it comes to LinkedIn is post a couple different things that sounds or makes you look like you’re credible and we can trust you. You telling your personal story, what the projects you’re building, the portfolio that I’m talking about, you can put that on LinkedIn. When you’re done putting that on LinkedIn, this is when you can reach out to your ideal target avatar, ideal customer avatar, ICP, ideal customer person, whatever you call it. So basically, you’re going to try to find your niche, right? Your target business owner. So for example, let’s just say it’s real estate. You want to find this different real estate agent or real estate people. And then you came up with this automation app for real estate agent and you want them to try it. this will be a perfect place to send some connections and make sure that you are very personalizing your notes when it comes to actually writing it. Now, that’s one of the ways you can do it. One thing to be aware, I don’t want you to use automation platform for LinkedIn just yet because I heard I don’t know if this is true, but LinkedIn does not like anything automated. No, they’re like no automation platform. So, it’s very easy to get banned if you are caught of using this like automation platform, automation bot or whatever. So, don’t use that, especially towards the beginning. And to get the pulse on the market, I want you to manually post things. But when it comes to the actual post you’re going to be posting, you can use AI for sure. Change it up a little bit so you can personalize. Change it up a little bit so it’s a little bit more personalized. But in general, yeah, definitely use AI to get help. And one thing that’s been working really well of LinkedIn is using those free lead magnet. And whenever you say, “Hey, if you want this PDF, then just comment something and I’ll send it to you.” Right? Make sure you connect with me or comment something and I’ll send it to you. And that’s one of the best way to literally start the conversation so you can have a good lead generation coming in for your business. Okay. So all right. So that was all step number two which is finding clients. I’m going to talk about step number three which is the most important part. It is the most important which is getting your reps in. All of this it’s a game. Just pretend that it’s a game rejection game because you’re going to get a ton of rejection. And whenever you get rejection, I don’t want you to take it personally. I want you to take it in a way. All right, one more rejection and then I’ll get 100 different rejections as an example. So it’s a game. That percentage of you getting rejected should be decreasing each time as you improve on your offer, improve on your pitch, right? So eventually you will get yes. But first couple or even like 20, 30, 40, you might get rejections and just be ready for that. It’s very normal to get rejected, but eventually if you get your reps in, somebody will say yes and you will jump on a call. That for sure. What if you don’t? That probably means your offer sucks. Remember, you have two offers. If people keep saying no, switch over to different offer.
