12k/mo in his first month with an AI Assisted Agency

Overview

This case study breaks down 12k/mo in his first month with an AI Assisted Agency. <p dir="auto" Doby Lanete hit $12k in his first month by repositioning from cheap backend automation freelancing into a clearer AI automation offer. He focused on founders and teams with manual operational bottlenecks, landed clients quickly through Dream 100 outreach, and turned low ticket gigs into a retainer business.</p. I'm not saying that you're going to join and every single one of you is going to make 12K in your first month. It kind of worked, but it took 5 months before I even got anywhere that it looked like it was worth something.

Offer And Positioning

And when I say land my first client, I mean I was making 3K, but changing up my offer, changing up my package, deliverable stacking, I was able to charge them 4K a month. I hit 12K and honestly, it was every single time I landed a new client. How much more if I do another 6 months of really focused community-based dedicated work and just after the first month I'm already seeing the results.

What Drove The Growth

From Dream 100 alone, it took me 2 weeks to land my first client. My pricing was 500 a month or a,000 a month. When I made 5K a month, I was like, "Oh, wow. And that kept ringing in the back of my head and I'm like I already saw what 5 months of hard work can do.

Operations And Next Bottlenecks

I did 5 months of automations and I loved it. What I do is that I build back-end systems that allows all the pieces of a business pipeline to be automated. Pretty much what I deliver are systems that work almost 100% of the time and completely remove all of that manual labor.

Key Takeaways

• Even if I left the course today, I have learned more and met more people in the last month than I have in the last four years.

• It really was like my first month into running.

• I told myself it was 8K a month.
