Yeah, that works. Let's do 6:30. That was all AI. Isn't that freaking crazy? Like, like human level conversation. I gave it objections, I told it times, it confirmed the call and it's gonna send me a text message. I mean it's wild. There's no way businesses don't buy that. So now I wanna teach you the AI startup ladder. Because these are the exact steps you're gonna wanna go through to actually start your AI company. Step one is validate. You have to pick a niche and outreach to them. It's essentially a way to prove that the people wanna buy what you're selling. So you might start with med spas or lawn care or, or maybe agency founders that are looking to book sales calls. Step two is you want to pre sell. That's where you sell and collect the cash before you ever build. It's actually pretty simple. You just create a document with the offer of what you do and in there you have a stripe link so that after you have the conversation about your AI startup, they just buy by clicking the stripe link. If you don't know what that is, it's very simple. Just Google stripe. Step three is delivery as soon as Somebody buys from you, put all things aside and go and deliver on that thing you sold. If you want to scale, you want referrals. Don't wait, act fast. It may take some manual work at the beginning, but getting a customer a win in the first 48 hours is how you build your reputation. Step number four now we build. That's where we take what we sold and productize the service so that you have some stability. And when you sell, you can automate the deployment so that you could build the business in a way to sell, scale it and to grow it. Before I share the second AI business, just to make it clear, if you want to try out any of the tools I mentioned for yourself, the link is below in the description. But if you're building real AI innovation right now and want to partner with me and my team at Martel Ventures, just message me Ventures on Instagram and we'll see if it'd be a fit. Number four AI Content Repurposing service. Essentially, companies will pay you to take like long form video content like podcasts or webinars or maybe some YouTube videos are doing and then repurpose them as short form clips on all the different platforms like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts so that you can get them more reach and eyeballs back to the long form content to get them sales. So the cool part is the cost is low because you don't need a lot of tools to get started. The effort is medium because there are some skills you need to learn. But the coolest part is the income potential is 750 to $1,000 a day. It's kind of crazy because there's a freelancer I know that use an AI tool to scale podcasts to shorts. That was their service and now earns $30,000 a month from only seven clients. We're living in a world where the amount of content and the desire to get a message out there has just scaled. And we live where there's this thing called interest media, not social media, where the algorithms are trying to find niche content to serve those people and somebody that can take all that information a business is already producing. I'm talking like zoom calls podcasts long form and trim down into short form and manage the publishing schedule. They're going to be in so much demand. So if you're in the content game in general, this one's for you. Now let's get into the biggest opportunities of the next decade. Thanks for listening to the Martel method. Before we get back to the episode, if you're like a real AI founder and you have a product and customers who are paying you and you want to scale fast. Here's the deal. I want to work with you at Martell Ventures. You don't need another investor. What you need is a partner with distribution, proven playbooks, most importantly, connections. We'll focus on adding customers instead. You wasting all your time fundraising. So if you want to work with me, just go to danmartel.com forward/ventures. Number three is AI sales chatbot. This is where you help somebody set up an AI chatbot that takes all of their chats. I'm talking social media chats, text messages, emails, all the platforms, and converts those conversations into sales for the business. It's wild. I literally know hundreds of people that make tens of thousand dollars every month doing this. For businesses. There's so much content being created and it's generating followers and even chats in the social platforms that most business owners don't have the time to actually respond to people. So what you do is you create an AI chatbot that takes that conversation, turns it into a sales conversation and takes those follows and turn them into leads for the business. So now that we break it down, the cost is medium because there's a little bit more tools and some custom coding involved to make it work for the specific business. The EFF is also medium because there's some skills you need to learn for sure, especially like how does a good sales chat go? But the income potential is even higher because of the volume. You could potentially be making 1,000 to $1,500 a day. On the low end, the income is so high because it's such a unique process. So when then you come in, it feels like free money to them. So they're willing to pay more because they're not replacing you for something else. They're essentially starting to do something they weren't doing. So for example, there's a product called GetRevio that went from zero to $60,000 per month in under seven months. Taking advantage of this chat economy, that's $2,000 a day. You can use their product to serve your customers or build something custom, but this world is not going to go away. And it's an opportunity anybody can take advantage of right now, essentially to start, just go back and run through the AI startup ladder and it'll crush for you. So far we've covered calls, content and even chat. Now let's talk about cleaning up the data and getting paid for it. Which brings us to number two, an AI Data cleanup agency. Essentially what you do is you offer the service to clean up the internal information within a business because right now most businesses, they have like this messy crazy collage of information. They have everything from their emails to the relationship software for their customers, spreadsheets that essentially running departments. Imagine if somebody could come in, clean up all that information, put an AI on top of it so that the business owner can ask a question about their business and get the exact quality answer. So the cost is medium because you are going to pay for some other tools. So for example, not only do you have to like pay for the tools to clean up the information, then you're going to have to pay for another tool to convert the information into a vectorized database so that the AI can actually talk to it. Now the effort is also going to be medium because you're going to have to learn some unique skills to that kind of cleanup and processing for searching. But the income potential is really high, like 1500 to $3000 a day because now you're getting into the business consulting space where you're helping a business owner understand their business where they can make better decisions and those decisions could save them 50, 100, a million dollars a year. And the cool part is you're also now starting to sell to like bigger companies that have more money to invest in making their operations better. And you are the expert. You might think everybody knows AI right now. Trust me, they don't. And if they do, their number one bottleneck is having anybody on their team that knows how to do this stuff and they're willing to pay top dollar for that. For example, my friend Matt built a company called Precision Co that scaled from zero to $700,000 in seven months using this process. And again to be successful, run through the four step process in the AI startup ladder so that you get paid up front before you build anything. This one I'm personally biased, but I think it's the biggest opportunity the next decade to unlock people's productivity and make a ton of money. Number one, this one's so fun. The AI inbox and calendar manager. Essentially you're going to get paid to build an executive assistant using AI to help these business owners manage emails and meetings. The last thing that entrepreneurs and CEOs want to do is manage their own friggin inbox in their calendar. It's like having somebody come in and automate 95% of that is going to feel like the most powerful thing that's happened to their life. And you get to be the person to do that cool part is the cost is actually low because it doesn't take a lot to set this up. The effort is medium because you are going to have to sit down and work with these CEOs to understand their workflows. But the best part, you could be making 3 to $5,000 a day helping these CEOs buy back their time. For example, there's an AI company called Fixer that went from 1 million in annual revenue to over 10 million in just the last five months. That's $27,000 per day. This opportunity is massive.

Drumroll please. The AI inbox and calendar manager. It's a no brainer. I wrote a book called buy back your time. This one is the nearest and dearest to my heart. It's also the thing that I recently paid for somebody to work with my assistant to buy back 92% of their time managing those two areas of my life. So here's how I do it. I'm going to call somebody I actually know. They have an assistant. I don't know how good they are. I don't know if they're happy with them. And I'm going to walk you through how I'm going to identify the pain, figure out the cost that they're willing to associate to that pain, and then offer them a solution that costs less than what they're paying for. Today I'm calling my buddy Josh. Let's see what he says. Hey Josh, how you doing?
