How to Begin Working With AI Automation: The Simplest Offer for Beginners

From JOHNWICK

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the business landscape, and companies are eager to use AI tools to compete. However, for a complete beginner in the AI world, the journey may appear quite daunting. Where does one start? What can someone possibly offer if one’s technical knowledge is limited? In this article, we will explain the simplest AI automation offer that a beginner can create for stepping into this lucrative niche.

The Simplest Offer: AI Tools Consulting

The AI Tools Consulting starts with no knowledge of AI, no development team, or the technical know-how. It is mainly consulting businesses on what the best AI tools to take for their needs and processes. The reasons that make it an attractive entry-level offering include:

  • No Development: No AI tool needs to be developed or implemented by you. You only articulate existing tools addressing particular business concerns.
  • Low Entry Bar: You start off with minimal knowledge and build your knowledge from there.
  • Scalable: Per your experience, you will broaden your consulting offerings to implementation or advanced consulting.

The Importance of the Knowledge Gap

Much of the money that is made in the AI space (or really any service-based industry) comes from bridging the knowledge gap. The knowledge gap is the difference between what you know and what your prospective clients know. Even if you are just starting out, the more you learn about AI tools in comparison to the average business owner, the more you will be seen as the expert. For example, if you reckon a business owner has just about a 10 on a scale of 100 in their knowledge of AI tools, and you consider yourself somewhere between a 20 and 25, you have the opportunity to give them value on suggestions of tooling that will improve their workflow. In time, as you learn and expand your team, this gap can be widened, allowing you to provide more advanced services.

The AI Tools Consulting Steps

Steps on offering AI Tools Consulting are as follows:

  • Research AI Tools: Curate a list of AI tools. Take tips from YouTube videos, websites like There’s an AI for That and Future Tools, and online tutorials for your insights on the top tools for different use cases (such as image generators, writing tools, and video generators).
  • Analysis of Tools: Refine your already filtered tools list to promising ones and do an in-depth analysis. Watch tutorials, read reviews, and evaluate the tools on your own to know their qualities and value.
  • Tools Data: Create a database from the findings (using Notion or Google Sheets). The tools should be classified according to their industry, use cases, and functions, which will help you when dishing out consultations to clients.
  • Do Free Consultations: Offer AI Tools audits for free to any company. At the audit meeting, ask questions about the process and what their pain points are, and recommend tools that would help either.
  • Write It Up: After the consultation, write a report that details which tools were recommended and how they could be put to use. This adds value and positions you as a trusted advisor.

How to Make It Pay

And while your first move would be free consultations, there are ample ways to really start making money from AI Tools Consulting:

  • Affiliate commissions: Affiliate programs are offered for most AI tools, meaning you could get paid commissions (typically around 10-15% of the monthly subscription) if a business appointee signs up for a tool using your referral link.
  • Partnerships: With growing experience, you can set up collaborations with AI implementation agencies. Their services will be referred to your clients when the clients are into advanced services; this will then give you a referral fee of 10–20% of the project value.
  • Charging consultations: The moment you have built your credibility, you can charge for consultation. Firms looking for expert consultation on AI implementation projects are willing to pay for time and money saved.

How to Get Clients

This could be tough. The first few clients to get will be challenging. Handy to melt that ice is:

  • Warm Outreach: Warmly reach out to your own present network pool (friends, family, LinkedIn connections) to get an invitation for free AI tool audits. Ask if they might know someone who could be to her/his benefit from your service.
  • Cold Emails: Whenever you’re ready, start sending emails to businesses, especially in industries where AI tools can really add value, e.g., real estate, marketing, and e-commerce.
  • Organic content: Produce content on YouTube, LinkedIn, or TikTok. Post videos about the finest AI tools for specialized industries or use cases. By this, you will be getting clients looking for AI services.

Why This is a Perfect Thing for Beginners

AI Tools Consulting could not have a better fit for the beginner:

  • It requires almost zero upfront investment.
  • You will be gaining experience and confidence while engaging in free consultations.
  • You will be earning while learning, so you can expand your knowledge and scope of offerings.

Conclusion

It does not have to be complicated to set up an agency for AI automation. Start by offering AI Tools Consulting to help companies move onto AI solutions while you build their knowledge and income streams. The essential thing is to start small, concentrate on providing value, and scale your services over time as you gain experience. So take step number one right now and get to work with your research on AI tools and offering free consultations. Over time, you will build your reputation, widen your gap of knowledge, and open up new horizons in the AI world.
