The author breaks down a website-redesign business built on AI: a recent deal closed at $26,000 ($23,000 upfront + $3,000/year).
Why it works
- AI slashes build time and cost
- Thousands of established businesses have outdated sites and already understand a website's value
- A handful of good projects beats chasing hundreds of clients
The playbook
- Use AI to draft a redesign of the prospect's site before the call, then show it live instead of talking hypothetically
- Close on the call; send a Stripe link, invoice, or contract
- Cold outreach via Swokei: it scans target sites for design/SEO/speed/mobile issues and auto-generates personalized cold emails at scale
