A creator walks through how to land your first AI client with no budget. Join Facebook groups and free communities, undercut prices on Upwork to build a portfolio, then raise rates once you have proof of work.
In the next 60 seconds I'm going to explain to you how I would land my first AI client if I didn't have any dollars whatsoever. The first way would be to join Facebook community groups. Join industry specific groups where your target clients live and are asking questions in real time. They're discussing pain points, they're discussing issues that they're running into. It will help you deep dive into what is actually happening and it will allow you to be able to really laser in on the issue, provide some genuine advice and value first that can then ultimately go on, become an inquiry, a DM and then ultimately a saleable asset. Free school communities. There's massive value inside of these, not only in the form of templates, but in the form of opportunities in regards to collaboration. So people might need some support, there might be some work offered and if you're willing to work for, for cheaper than anybody else, you'd be in a position. Not that I want you to get into a race at the bottom, but price is a big thing when you're first starting out. You just want to get your clients and then I have over, I have, I have million earnings on the Upwork platform and you know, creating listings specifically for, for AI automations. When it comes down to, to this, you need to be looking for the listings that are specifically for AI automations. Start with competitive pricing, build up reviews in a portfolio and increase your rate as you go. That is exactly how you should do it. I used to set my alarm three times a night so I could discuss with clients in America in Facebook communities and it got me to 15k a month. It's exactly how I would do it if I was in your shoes. Now.
