💰️ Monetization Insight of the Day
Your First $100 Beats 100 Followers

Everyone’s obsessed with audience growth like it’s a pension plan. Followers are cool—but let me be blunt: 100 likes doesn’t pay your rent. You know what does? Your first sale. That first $39 Notion pack, AI voiceover, or low-ticket prompt product? It’s real. It’s validating. And it’s the momentum most people never get because they’re too busy “building a brand.”

If I were starting from scratch today, I’d skip the fancy funnel and spin up a landing page using something like WebWave—takes three minutes and actually looks good. Then I’d create a dead-simple AI product (voiceover, guide, digital asset—doesn’t matter) and deliver it automatically using a platform like LearnWorlds. Both are built to launch fast and scale later. The dopamine hit of a Stripe notification? Way better than another follower.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Revenue builds clarity. Followers build ego (and not much else).

• Use WebWave to launch a fast product page and LearnWorlds to deliver your first digital product.

• Pair this with today’s Prompt + Workflow Builder to get your first offer live in under 24 hours.

Create your own AI Agents 👨‍🏭👩‍🏭

You don’t need another productivity hack, You need a system that works without you.

While most people juggle tabs and chase tasks, a few are handing it all off — to AI agents that don’t assist, they act.

Imagine:

• Your email replies are done. 📬

• Instagram posted. 📸

• Calendar managed. 🗓️

• 40+ apps humming in the background. ⚙️🤖

• All without lifting a finger. 🧘‍♂️

On Tuesday, May 21st at 10 AM EST, we're pulling back the curtain.

It’s a Masterclass showing you how to architect AI agents that actually run your work — across 40+ tools — so you can focus on the parts only you can do.

This is your invite.

🔧 Workflow Builder
The Easiest Way to Start Selling What You Know

Goal:
Launch a niche AI-powered micro-course using tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini—perfect for creators who want to monetize their expertise fast without overcomplicating the process.

Steps:

1. Pick a Profitable Topic
   Use your preferred AI model to brainstorm course ideas that solve clear problems. Focus on outcome-based niches (e.g. “How to land freelance clients” or “Systems for content creators”).

2. Script the Lessons with AI
   Prompt your AI tool: “Write a 3-part micro-course on [topic] for [audience].” Then edit the output into a loose script. If you prefer not to record your voice, use Murf.ai or ElevenLabs to generate a voiceover.

3. Record and Deliver the Course
   Use Loom to record your screen and narration. Add a simple slide deck built in Canva, or use Guidde to convert steps into visual tutorials.

4. Publish & Sell Your Course
   Upload your videos and assets to LearnWorlds or Gumroad. Both platforms support paid courses, upsells, and email follow-ups out of the box.

5. Repurpose with AI for Promotion
   Drop your course audio into Castmagic or Exemplary AI to auto-generate promo snippets for X, LinkedIn, and more.

💰 Revenue Potential:

$300–$1,000/month from a single course
(Top Gumroad creators with 2–3 products often hit $2K+)

📣 Help Shape the First Bagel Bots Course

I’m building a premium course to help you use AI to launch income streams—or finally master the tools with confidence.

If you’ve got 2–3 minutes, your input could make a real difference.

👉 Take the quick survey — no email required

🤔 Which image is real?

One of these images is real, and one was created with AI. Vote for which one you think is real, and tell us why you voted that way. My only goal is to choose such good photos that the majority of votes are wrong.

The last edition’s results—73% were wrong!

Did you vote in the poll from May 17th? The top image was real! Go back and see the photos here. So what do you think? Are you getting better at spotting AI vs. not?
