Most articles about making money with AI are written by people selling courses. This one isn't.
Here's what actually works, what doesn't, and what nobody tells you about the costs.
What Works
Setting up AI agents for businesses that don't have technical teams. A salon owner doesn't know how to configure a chatbot. A real estate agent doesn't have time to learn prompt engineering. They need someone who does it for them.
That's a real service with real demand and real pricing power.
What Doesn't Work
Building another AI wrapper. Taking an API, adding a UI, charging $29/month. There are 600,000 apps on the market doing exactly this.
The Honest Numbers
AI agent setup service: $400 to $1,500 per client, one time fee.
Get 3 clients per month at $800 each: $2,400/month.
The work takes 2 to 4 hours per setup. The math works if you know what you're doing.
