Absolutely.
1. Get familiar with the low-zero code tools: Make, Zapier, N8N. Make and Zapier are platforms that essentially connect various tools together which allow you to create cool workflows like Lead delegation, Onboarding flows starting from an email opt in, Automated content creation from a single sentence, etc. N8N is more for AI Agents which are VERY popular right now.
2. Find a niche and get familiar with their pain points. For example: Real estate agents. I knew a couple real estate agents and I just asked to get on a call with them to find out where they are struggling. Majority of them get a shit ton of unqualified leads - so what I did was create an automated workflow and AI agent that qualifies the lead before it ever lands in the Real estate agents inbox or phone. Now they waste less time following up with BS leads and increase their closing rate significantly. Solving this problem for them is basically a free money printing glitch in real life. Then rinse and repeat for other niches (or you can stick with one specific niche if you're more comfortable with that).
3. Keep up to date with trends in the automation world. I follow 3 major "influencers" in the AI automation space: Preston Rhodes, Josh Gilligan (@joshyspeed) and Nate Herk. These guys are gold and I keep a nice swipe file of their videos.
Then there's the "How do I get clients" question. For me I've always done Cold Emails and I've mastered that. You can also run ads (Facebook/Google) or actually start creating content yourself and getting clients that away. What ever you're more comfortable doing, do that.
If you want more info about cold emailing, feel free to PM me.
