How I made 1m selling AI - just copy me

My name is Jim Feng and I've made over a million dollars online with AI. And you can actually see that right now on the screen. And this is all revenue from my AI business. And in this video I'll be sharing with you exactly how I did this. And this opportunity is called AI lead generation. And this entire business model is just super simple because you're essentially acting as a middleman, using AI to connect businesses with the one thing they need more, right? Which is clients, right? New customers. You're using AI and this is you kind of being as the middleman, and you're kind of using AI to generate leads on behalf of your clients, helping them the one thing that they always need, which is more customers. And there's actually tons of studies that prove that this is something that is in just super high demand. According to Forbes, new studies suggest lead generation is a billion dollar challenge for most businesses, right? Businesses are spending billions of dollars trying to just figure out lead generation. And the lead generation industry is actually expected to grow to a $31 billion industry by 2031. So this is a massively growing industry and there's just tons of opportunity there, right? Because according to Harvard Business review, over 65% of businesses actually say that their number one challenge is getting new customers, right? That's a pretty crazy statistic because there's just so many different businesses. And that's why if you ever see a business that just shuts down, it's not because the product or service sucks, it's probably because they just couldn't get enough new customers coming in through the door, right? Because this is a massive problem. And with AI lead generation, you're essentially using AI to figure out and help these businesses solve this massive problem. So, so when you pair up all of that demand up with AI, which can also now do the equivalent of a team's worth of work in literally minutes, there's a massive arbitrage opportunity literally happening right now. And it has regular people earning income online, working one to two hours a day, completely on their own schedule, from wherever they want to, right? From literally anywhere in the world, as long as they have an Internet connection, right? So, for example, here's someone that I was actually working with, his name is called Nelson. And the reason I'm using him as an example is because look at him over here, right? He's just over here and he's actually a full time nurse. And he, you know, in this picture he's wearing like his nursing scrubs and he's actually doing this part Time in between his shifts, right in between his nursing shifts. And that's pretty crazy because he was actually able to sign his first client who ended up paying him fifteen hundred dollars per month. And he literally said he never thought that he closed it soon, which is signing clients. He never thought he was signing clients so soon. And he was able to do that in a relatively quick period of time. And all of this happened because AI lead generation just works so well because it's super simple, right? You don't need to take on a ton of risk in order to get started with this business model. It doesn't take you a ton of time. You don't need to spend tens of thousands of dollars on inventory, on products. You don't need to post endless content online. And it's just a super simple business model where you are using AI to literally connect demand to supply, right? And that's literally how AI lead generation works at a super high level. But the very first step in order to actually get started with AI lead generation, well, it all starts with picking an industry. So essentially what you're doing in this very first step is you are deciding who you want to sell your AI lead generation services to. And it all starts with choosing a specific B2B industry, meaning you're choosing an industry or a niche that sells their business or sells the product or services to other businesses. So you don't want to be working with BTC companies. So BTC companies such as like gyms or realtors or things like that, because they're selling their services to consumers, right? That's not what you want to do. You want to work with businesses that their products or services to other businesses. And the reason we want to do this is super simple, right? B2B businesses literally sell higher ticket services, so they're able to pay you 1 to $3,000 per month and they're able to do that and it will literally make sense for them, right? So as an example, with two companies, right, let's say you're able to work with a law firm who for every single client that that law firm lands, they're literally making $10,000, $20,000, $30,000 off from their retainer fees versus a gym membership. Like a gym is selling a gym membership for, let's say $30 or $40 or $50. Which of these two businesses do you feel like you'd be more likely to charge one to $3,000 per month for your own lead generation services, right? The answer is obviously the law firm, right? Because they're Charging so much more money to the point where if you go up to them and you charge them 1 to $3,000, it economically, from pure math, it actually makes sense for them to work with you. So that's the little reason why you want to choose B2B businesses instead of B2C. If you are just racking your mind right now being like, oh my gosh, what is the best niche that I should choose that needs to be B2B? There's a lot of information here I'm here to tell you. Don't stress about it, because personally, I've signed clients in a bunch of different industries and a bunch of different niches in the recruitment space. The marketing agencies, IT companies, logistics companies, insurance firms, law firms, all are really great industries. I've worked with businesses in each of those industries and that will hopefully just give you some more ideas. But if you're really just unsure, you can always ask ChatGPT, right? Leverage AI to and literally ask it to give you a list of B2B industries. And after that, you will literally have 20 to 30 ideas in literally seconds that you could reach further. Right? So here's literally a screenshot. Right Here is literally 15 examples of B2B industries that ChatGPT literally just spun up for me. As you can see, marketing agencies, software development firms, IT companies, right? You could pause the video and read the rest if you want, but here's just some ideas, because what's most important is all you have to do is just pick one industry that you're interested in most, because there's just so much demand for lead generation that this literally works in a bunch of different industries. But you really just have to start with just picking one industry and then you want to move on to the next step, which is building your leads list, where once you pick your industry, the next step is finding the people that you want to reach out to. Right? You're basically starting your process of outreach and signing your own clients. And the best way to do that is do a process called cold emails, which literally means emailing a business owner directly and offering to help them and get more leads and get more customers. So essentially you're using cold emails, right? That's literally the best way that I have personally found in signing your first client. Even if you have no case studies, you have no testimonials, and one good client will literally be able to pay you anywhere between one and $3,000 per month. And this is a system with cold emails that this will work if you're able to spend two to $300 a month. That's literally all it takes, Right? So you will need, or I would strongly recommend, having 2 to $300 in upfront capital that you can invest into the cold email system. And the reason this works so well is because the ROI is just hu. Right, you're investing two to $300 a month, and that could potentially turn into one to $3,000 per month. And that's only if you sign one client. If you sign more clients, two clients, three clients, four clients, your ROI becomes that much larger and the profit margins are really, really massive. Right, so that's exactly why we want to start with cold emails. And the very first step in sending a cold email to actually land a client for yourself is by doing something called building a lead slice and using simple tools such as Apollo I.O. that will actually give you the exact contact info of founders, CEOs, and decision makers. Right? So Apollo IO, which is this tool right here, is actually a database tool that will give you a list of contacts of the specific people that you chose in step number one in the industry that you actually picked. And let me actually show you exactly how this works. Actually just jumped into Apollo I.O. over here, and this is kind of what this tool looks like. And as you can see, this is a tool that will allow you to be able to contact and directly look for the specific person that you're looking to send a cold email to. So, for example, let's say as an example, in my step one in the industry that I am picking, I'm choosing marketing agencies. And let's just say that I'm going to be emailing the founders, the CEOs, the owners of all of these marketing agencies located in North America and in the United Kingdom. I have the filters that I could set up here on my left side of my screen that will give me exactly those people, right? So the job titles, the company locations, the industry keywords. And as you can see now we have a fat list on the right side of my screen over here of literally all of the people that fit that description. Right? And on the bottom over here, as you can see, there's 200,000 of these founders, owners, CEOs of all of these marketing agencies that I'm potentially able to reach out to. And the reason I'm sharing this is to really, you know, share with you. Because I hear a lot of questions from a lot of different people who say, but Jim, how do I actually sign a client? Well, the answer is just so many of these businesses that you only need one of them to say yes, right? There's literally 200,000 of these marketing agencies that you will be reaching out to. You don't think that you could just get one person, even just one person, to say yes to you out of this list of 200,000. Exactly right? That's all you need. And that's exactly what makes cold emails the best way to conduct outreach to land your first client. And because of tools like Apollo, you can now build a list of hundreds of thousands of businesses and get all of their contacts who all need more clients. And you can literally do this in literally minutes, right? And here's a spreadsheet of what that kind of looks like after it exported that data outside of Apollo IO. And again, the reason I'm sharing this with you is because even if just one person is interested, that's an issue of 1 to $3,000 per month that you'd be earning, right? Just one person out of hundreds of thousands of people, right? The math, it literally works in your favor. The math just literally works. There's no other ways to explain it. But that leads me to the next step of the process, which is using AI to actually write and send the cold emails that will actually land you your first client. Because with AI now, you actually don't need to be a copywriter, you don't need to be good at writing, you don't need years of sales training, and you don't need to be some tech wizard because you can actually use tools like ChatGPT that can actually help you write your very first cold email in literally minutes, right? All you have to do is give it the right prompt, make a couple small edits to the actual email that the AI will actually write for you, and then within minutes, you have a professional email that you can send to real businesses. It's literally that simple, right? So before this process, before AI existed, you would literally need to learn to do all this process manually. Actually do know how to write good code emails. But because of AI, it really flattens the learning curve. You don't have to do that anymore. So, for example, here's actually a screenshot of an email that ChatGPT actually wrote for me. And in a second here, I'm actually going to show you exactly what I prompted into ChatGPT in order to generate this cold email. But as you can see, right, it's a pretty solid cold email. Literally says, hi, first name is company name, looking to book more sales calls right now. Reason for my email is we help marketing agencies add 15 to 25 qualified sales calls and every single month within 30 days without relying on referrals or paid ads by using our, you know, our system. And if we don't hit these numbers, we don't get paid. Put together a quick video showing you how this works. Mind if I share it with you? Right, so this is an email that the AI that ChatGPT literally wrote for me and I probably, you know, it probably took me like 30 seconds to, to generate this email and I'm actually going to show you right now exactly how you could do that as well. So for example, I'm inside ChatGPT right now, right, And I literally just told it to write my code emails. It asked me what industry I want to go after. It started giving me a bunch of research that I could and that it's using for itself in order to write the cold emails. It's building me like the offers. So in terms of how I'm actually helping these marketing agencies like the service that I'm actually providing. But most importantly, it then writes the cold emails for me, right? So it writes me different variations of it as well. So many different variations and I can actually get ChatGPT to actually write me all of the follow up. So I'm literally just going to show you, right? All I have to do is just say, yes, I want some follow up emails and literally within minutes here it's going to start writing the cold emails for me, right? So this is the follow up email and I can actually get the AI to write as many follow up emails as I want and it'll literally take you 10 seconds to actually do this. And again, right, this is exactly why this is such a great opportunity because five years ago, 10 years ago, this was a super manual process. But with AI there's an arbitrage opportunity where you're able to do this without needing years of experience or becoming really great at all of these things. And again, that's exactly what makes the AI lead generation business model such a powerful opportunity right now. Because lead generation itself isn't something new, right? Companies like Microsoft, the largest companies the world, Microsoft, Amazon, IBM, they've all been paying salespeople literally six figure salaries for literally decades in order to do this exact job. They're pretty much full time lead generators and they're essentially using emails to generate new clients for these companies, right? Though these are roles that literally existed, you can search this yourself. These sometimes go by different titles like sales development reps or business development reps, but essentially they're Just full time lead generators. So this isn't some random process that was just randomly discovered like three months ago. This is a legitimate thing or legitimate process that's existed since the beginning of the Internet. But the difference is those reps, those sales reps had to write emails one by one. What used to take 10 minutes per email, AI can now do hundreds of times per day. And that's the leverage that we're literally tapping into. We're not working harder, we're working smarter. But just to be clear, what we're doing with cold emails, we're not sending a bunch of spam emails. I hear this all the time. A lot of people think that with cold emails you're sending spam emails or this is some kind of like illegal practice, but it's not right. You're not blasting random people a bunch of random emails. You're sending highly personalized, highly professional emails to businesses who really want more customers. And you're basically just seeing if they're open to working with you. And again, this is the same method that the largest companies in the world already use. Only now AI makes this process faster than cheaper and more accessible than ever before. Right? And that leads me to the next point, because from there, what we want to do now is we want to plug these emails that the AI literally just written for us into a tool like Smartly AI. Right? Essentially, this is a tool that will take the emails that Trash Me wrote for you and send these emails out for you on autopilot. So every single day, once you set this tool up, all your code emails are going to be sent, right? So again, you're not copying and pasting these emails into Gmail and sending them one by one. We want to use a tool like Smartly AI to do that, where literally once, once you set it up, once, the emails will be sent out. No matter what you're doing while you're at work, while you're at the gym, while you're asleep. This is a system that's just consistently running in the background, sending emails and booking calls for you, with potential clients, for yourself. And that's really the entire beauty of this business. Because you're not trading your hours for money, you're not trading time for money anymore. You're literally building a system that works without you. That's called leverage. And AI is doing all of the heavy lifting for you. And that's again why regular people with no prior experience are able to step into this model and start building a reliable income stream online. So for example, this is actually one of my clients. His name is called Tyler. And Tyler was a military veteran. And then he now works a corporate 9 to 5 job. And after, you know, working together, he was able to get started with his own AI lead generation business. And he literally went from zero to $6,000 in his first month of starting his own AI lead generation business. I believe he signed three clients that allowed him in order to get to $6,000 per month. That again, he's now earning outside of his 9 to 5 job. Or we have Kevin, who went from 0 to earning $9,000 per month and again his first 30 days of getting started with AI lead generation. And Kevin is actually a software engineer and he want to get started with AI lead generation because he wanted more control over his time, he wanted more freedom, and he wanted to be able to earn extra income and provide for his future family, right? And now Kevin's now earning $9,000 per month outside of his software engineering job, which is absolutely crazy. And both of These guys have YouTube videos with them. But that's not. Again, that's not really the purpose of this video. Because after you use AI to write all your cold emails, you're now sending your cold emails. The next step is taking sales calls and actually signing clients. This is the process that converts all of these emails that you're sending into people who will actually pay you money. Because again, the whole reason you're sending cold emails is to book conversations with businesses. And in the business world, these calls are called sales calls. But again, don't let that word intimidate you. Don't get nervous because you hear the word sales calls. Because most people actually think that sales is pushy tactics, fast talking, or it requires years of experience. And that's just simply not true. Because think of this kind of like a job interview, except flipped on its head. But instead of a job interview where you're answering questions that the interviewer is asking you, now what you're doing is you're the one asking the questions, right? You're learning more about their business, you're learning more about what they sell, who they sell to, and if it makes sense, you're simply explaining how you could potentially help them get new clients, right? Book more sales calls. And you also want to share your pricing, which again, I recommend to be anywhere between 1 and $3,000 per month. Now they say, yes, that's your first client and that's an issue of 1 to $3,000 coming in every single month into your bank account, right? And it really can be really that simple, right? And here's actually a screenshot of just some of the sales costs that I actually took early on when I was first starting up my business. So these were screenshots of real business owners that I spoke with. And these were probably taken maybe two or three years ago. I looked a little bit younger than I am now. And again, right back then I wasn't good at sales at all. But I still able to get, you know, get payments like this right into my payment processor, offer my all for my AI lead generation business. And I was doing this literally off of 30 minutes to 60 minutes Zoom calls that I was doing for my business. Now I want to be super clear as well, will you be closing your very first call that you ever take? Probably not, right? This is a skill at the end of the day and just like any other skill, like riding a bike or driving a car, the very first time you do it, you're probably not going to be the greatest at it, right? But with a very, but with a few practice, with a few reps, it'll actually start clicking and from that point forward, you will never forget how to do it again. And that's the exact same thing with these sales calls. Because based on my data that I've actually been able to get after working with over 300 plus people, 300 plus clients, helping them land their first clients with AI lead generation, most people are able to do that within the very first one to two months, right? They're able to get started with this. And if they're focusing on the right actions and doing the right things, most people could sign the first client within one to three months, paying them anywhere between one and $3,000. With no prior case studies, no experience, no sales skills, and the fastest that I've personally seen it happen is literally two weeks, right? Because the point is, is you don't need to be a natural born salesperson. You just need to have a real conversation, show genuine interest, ask a few simple questions, and give a business a way to solve the number one problem, which is getting new customers. So for example, this guy, his name is called Jordan and he literally says in his message, a nice case of beginner's luck over here. I started my cold email campaign on May 1, had my first call today and closed them for $2,000 and $200 per lead. Or we have Sydney, who signed her first client, who's paying her now $3,000 every single month and $500 for every single sales call that she booked for a client. And she's never had any sales experience before, so she's actually working full time as a data analyst at her job. So she's now making an extra $3,000 per month now outside of her data analyst job, which is really, really crazy, right? Because that's exactly what this opportunity allows you to do. And that leads us to step eight of the process, which is arguably the most important part of the process. Because here is where we're actually delivering the AI lead generation service that we literally just sold. And honestly, this is the step as to why AI lead generation is really the best online opportunity right now if you're looking to earn extra income. Because compared to the most common online businesses that you probably see on social media, things like dropshipping or Amazon fba, where you have to get products, you have to manage inventory, you have shipping headaches, customer support issues, it's just really such a complex, risky business model with a bunch of moving parts. Or compare that to, let's say a marketing agency where you have to land a client first. And then after you land a client, you then realize that you need to learn ads, or you need to learn video editing, or you need to learn copywriting, and you need to learn all of these new skills completely from scratch just to keep your clients and just to continue making money. So essentially, there's such a large and steep learning curve. But with AI lead generation it's completely different. Because the same simple process that you use to land your own client is the exact process that you're actually going to be delivering for your clients as well. So think about that process that you used where you used cold emails, used AI to write and send cold emails to land a client for yourself. And now what you're doing is you're doing the exact same thing for your clients, right? So you're also using that same AI cold email process in order to help your clients book sales costs, right? You're not reinventing the wheel, you're just running cold email outreach with AI, but now on your client's behalf, right? That's literally all you're doing. And your role is not to take the sales calls or close your clients deals. That's not your role. All you're doing in your role is you're booking calls with people interested in their service. You're essentially acting as the middleman where you're connecting your clients with people who are interested in learning more and potentially interested in purchasing your client's service, right? So that's literally what you're doing with service Delivery. It's a super simple business model because you're literally using what you already did for yourself to land a client, except now you're implementing it for on your client's behalf and you're helping your clients get more of their own clients, basically. So as an example, to really show you what you know, you're actually doing with AI lead generation, like what the service that you're actually providing for clients is, here's an example of just a random marketing agency that I found on Google. It's called crackerjack. And as you can see, they're pretty much just helping different companies help with, you know, running advertising and running marketing. As you can literally see from the website, they literally say, our team of Digital marketers increase ROAS so return on ad spend on average 50%, blah blah, blah, using Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, Snapchat, all of these things. So that's essentially what they're doing, right? They're helping these businesses grow by using social media and running ads. So let's assume that this is one of my clients and what I'm going to do, obviously if they were my client, I'm gonna be able to talk to them and get a better understanding as to what they do. But even just from their website, right now I'm getting a pretty good idea for the type of people, the type of businesses that they'll be looking to work with and what they're kind of doing for their own clients. And what I actually did was I actually plugged in, I literally took the information from the website, I copied it, I pasted it into ChatGPT and I literally told ChatGPT to write me different cold emails that I can use. So I went through that process with ChatGPT. It took me around 30 minutes, I'd say, to write and build all of that out. And I actually went into smart lead. So right now what you're seeing on your screen is actually smartly AI again, the tool that will allow us to send these cold emails out on autopilot. And I'm actually going to show you, right, these are emails that ChatGPT wrote for me. This is email one and these are like various follow up emails that I'll be using to send on behalf of crackerjack. And as you can see, right, I'm really saying I'm emailing different clients, different tech companies on behalf of crackerjack, where I'm literally taking what I saw on the website, like the information. I'm really saying, hey, we've been quietly Helping companies like Google Takedown Facebook boost the roas. So again, the return on ad spend by an average of 58% across paid channels. So again, I'm taking this line literally comes directly from the website and I'm really saying, would it be crazy to hop on a 15 minute call to see if we could replicate these results for your company? And this is what I'll be sending on behalf of CrackerJack, where I'm essentially working with CrackerJack to send cold emails to book calls for CrackerJack, right? And instead of smart lead, we're actually able to set up, so for example, we're able to set up when these cold emails sent out. So for example, right now I've set this campaign, this cold email campaign to be sent out every single day, week, Monday through Sunday from 9am to 6pm in the Eastern, you know, time zone. And it's actually going to start right? So you know, we have all of these settings and basically I'm showing you these things to really show you that that's the power of using all of these AI tools and automations with this business model. Because as you can see, we're now able to now send hundreds, if not thousands of cold emails on behalf of crackerjack out to their own potential clients every single day. I'm not manually sending them and once those people are interested, to book a call with my clients, crackerjack. And that's a service that I'm essentially providing with AI lead generation. So again, because of that simplicity, that's exactly why this business model is just so beginner friendly, so low risk, and so much simpler than literally anything out there that exists in the market right now. Because by the time that you land your first client, you already know how to do all of this stuff because you already proved it to yourself by booking costs for yourself and landing a client for yourself. So you literally will have already proof of concept by the time that you land your first client. So instead of learning a dozen different skills, you're mastering one core skill and applying it both for yourself and for your own clients in order to make money. And that's exactly what AI lead generation is literally all about. And that's really the entire point of this video. Today I wanted to share with you all of the same simple steps that completely changed my life. Because in literally under three years I've made over a million dollars online, again, completely with AI lead generation. And the biggest reason that I've been able to do that is because I got into the right opportunity at the right time, right? Because if we look at this curve right here, right now, we're over here, right? We're the early adopters. So, meaning most people have never even heard of this opportunity before AI lead generation. If you're being honest, you probably didn't even know about AI lead generation last week or two weeks ago, right? So most people don't even know this opportunity even exists. But it's not going to be like that forever. If you wait too long, if you wait six months, a year, two years, soon it'll become early majority and a late majority and a laggards. And the people who get in early on any opportunity, those are the people who have that fast start momentum, right? That advantage, right? Because this again, right, this isn't some random online trend, some random online fad that's just going to randomly disappear in six months. This is solving a massive problem that every single business has, which is needing more leads and needing more customers. And that's why demand for this is literally endless. The profit margins are so high. And hitting five to $10,000 per month can literally be as simple as landing three to five clients. Because when I first got started, I was able to get to my first $10,000 per month. And by my month number three, right? By my third month, I was able to get to $10,000 per month. Here's a screenshot of that. As you can see from the date December 22, 2022, that's when I was able to get to 10.5k in a single month. And since then I've actually been able to actually leave my 9 to 5 job. I've been able to retire my parents, I've been able to build real financial security for my family while working when I want and where I want, right? So I'm able to travel, I'm literally able to control my own calendar, my own time. And I literally built a life that always wanted to live. And the truth is, I'm not special, I'm not more talented, I'm not smarter than anyone else. The only difference is I took action. And because of that I got results. And now with AI, it's easier than ever before for regular people to do the exact same thing. So if you're interested in diving deeper into AI lead generation, then the first link in the description below is where you can actually book a call with me or even sometimes with my business partner. Because inside my consulting program, you will get direct one to one access to me, where we can actually work together step by step to build your own AI lead generation business and get you to 5 to $10,000 per month as quickly as possible. And at this point, I personally helped over 300 people get started with this model, and many of them are earning anywhere between 3,000 to $10,000 per month online, often part time alongside their nine to five jobs. And because of that experience, I know exactly what works, what doesn't work, and all the common mistakes that really just hold beginners back. And I can actually save you from going down these exact same paths, taking all of these mistakes. Because this program is for those people who understand that you don't know what you don't know. Meaning you can actually spend months just trying to figure everything out on your own. Or instead you can learn directly from someone who's already solved the problems that you haven't even ran into yet. Now, of course, this isn't free, right? This is a real business. This isn't a charity. This is a paid program for people who are serious about getting results faster and getting results easier. But that small investment is really what makes this real. And it's not for everyone again, right? It's not for everyone. So if you want to learn casually, I actually post tons of free content here on YouTube and plenty of people have actually gotten results just from that, right?
