To effectively showcase the skills of an "AI automation engineer and website developer," you should create a *killer website* featuring multiple AI automation cases utilizing platforms like n8n or Make.

Share posts on social media accounts such as LinkedIn and Reddit, and avoid relying on META.
Offer free reviews of common issues where you analyze problems and suggest how automation could provide a solution (without implementing it yourself). If enough people engage with your content, you can then build the solution and share a recorded video demonstrating how you achieved it.

Many individuals are successfully adopting this approach, and I know some who have secured gigs by providing these solutions. Just put in the effort to showcase your work every day, and eventually, you will see the results.
 
Register a domain in your own name, create a professional portfolio website to showcase your work, then set up accounts on platforms like Fiverr, Freelancer.com, and Upwork and customize them professionally. Then start submitting bids on job postings.
 
How do I market for a freelancer who is an AI automation engineer and website developer? I don't know what to do, I'm out of ideas

1. The Core Hook (What to say)​

Don't say: "I build websites and AI bots."Do say: "I build high-converting websites and automate your boring manual tasks so you can scale without hiring more staff."

2. High-Yield Channels (Where to look)​

  • LinkedIn Outbound: Search for Founders, Agency Owners, or Operations Directors. Drop a short message: "Hey [Name], noticed you guys are growing. I build custom AI setups that handle lead follow-ups and data entry automatically. Open to saving 10+ hours a week?"
  • Upwork & Fiverr (The Optimization route): Don't just list "Web Developer." Create specific gigs like: "AI-Powered Lead Generation Website" or "Make/Zapier Automation for E-commerce."
  • Cold Video Audits: Find local businesses or online agencies with slow/outdated websites. Shoot a quick 60-second screen-share video (using Loom) showing exactly where they are losing money and how an AI chatbot or a faster site could fix it. Send it to their email.

3. Quick Offer Ideas to Break the Ice​

  • The "Audit" Offer: "Free 15-minute workflow audit. Show me your daily routine, and I’ll tell you exactly which parts can be automated by AI for free."
  • The "Package" Offer: Sell a unified bundle: A sleek landing page + an automated CRM backend that captures and nurtures leads automatically.

Honestly, stop wasting time on Upwork etc.. :suspicious: They’re flooded with standard web devs, and cheap clients there have zero idea what AI automation actually costs.

A few things that worked for guys in my network:
  • Productize your dev work. Don't sell "website development." Sell "AI Customer Support Bot for Shopify stores" for a fixed price. Clients buy solutions, not hours.
  • Cold Loom videos. Find local agencies or e-com stores, build a tiny 1-minute AI automation proof-of-concept for them, record a quick Loom, and DM the owner. Converts like crazy because it proves you actually know your stuff.
  • Post on AI-specific platforms. Instead of fighting standard freelancers, list your scripts and custom gigs on platforms dedicated purely to AI. Try checking out BIS0N (make sure to type it as bis0n.com with a zero 0). It’s a niche marketplace built specifically for AI automation, datasets, and AI freelance work. The clients there are actively hunting for AI devs, so you won't have to explain why AI costs more than a $50 WordPress site...
Shift your angle from "I build websites" to "I automate business headaches with AI" and you'll see a huge difference. :);)

Thank you, Shring. I agree with you, and I've actually done that with most of my services. I change the angle of common offerings, such as creating WordPress sites or scraping lead details, to more appealing and trendy names. I do implement AI features, but updating the names and approach makes a significant difference. I'm currently working on the video aspect to showcase this. I usually create the video when the client is almost ready to make a payment, just to close the deal. Thank you.

Build a few simple case studies, post the problems you solved, and target businesses that could clearly save time or money with automation.

Cold outreach can work well too if it's personalized.

A good starting point is to stop marketing the person as simply an AI automation engineer and website developer and instead market the outcome they provide.
 
One effective approach would be creating case studies that show specific time savings. For example, "reduced manual data entry from 20 hours per week to 2 hours with custom automation." Quantifiable results are more convincing than general claims about AI capabilities.
