💰️ Bagel Bots Monetization Case Study
$1,000 Automation Playbook (No Code Required)

💰 The Strategy:

A builder earned over $1,000 by creating simple AI-powered automation agents that handled online tasks—like booking appointments, gathering leads, and purchasing limited-edition items—using low-code tools and ChatGPT to generate most of the logic.

✅ What Worked:

• Focused on high-value tasks that saved time or made clients money

• Used ChatGPT to write and refine automation logic, even without deep coding knowledge

• Charged value-based pricing aligned with client ROI

• Offered recurring revenue models for ongoing support and updates

• Learned faster by tapping into mentorship and online resources

🧰 The Stack:

• ChatGPT (prompted to build agents step-by-step)

• Bardeen / Zapier / Make (for low-code automation)

• Lindy (for agent orchestration or customer-facing flows)

• Notion + Loom (to document, demo, and share workflows with clients)

• Stripe / Gumroad (to collect one-time or monthly payments)

📊 Results:

• Time to first sale: ~2 weeks

• Total revenue: $1,000+

• Best performer: Agent that helped a client auto-purchase limited sneakers for resale, netting the client thousands

🚀 Try This:

1. Pick a task people hate doing (scheduling, form-filling, lead scraping) and see how it could be automated with AI.

2. Use ChatGPT to build the flow. Prompt it to create the logic, webhook structure, or even write native code for Zapier.

3. Start simple using Make or Bardeen. These tools let you connect apps and run agents without knowing how to code.

4. Record a Loom video demo. This builds trust and shows exactly how your automation works.

5. Price based on time or money saved. If your agent saves someone 50 hours, price accordingly.

6. Offer monthly support or performance tuning. This turns your one-off build into a subscription.

Goal:
Launch a simple lead generation service using AI agents to find, contact, and qualify leads—then sell that service to freelancers, coaches, or small B2B businesses.

Steps:

1. Pick a Niche & Offer
Use ChatGPT to brainstorm niches that rely on client acquisition (e.g. consultants, SaaS founders, real estate agents). Choose one and define a deliverable like “20 warm leads per week.”

2. Scrape Leads with AI Tools
Use Lindy, Apollo.io, or Browse AI to extract lead data from platforms like LinkedIn, Google Maps, or niche directories. Store leads in Google Sheets or Airtable.

3. Generate & Personalize Outreach
Use Copy.ai or ChatGPT to write 3–5 cold email templates. Personalize with fields like name, company, and industry pain points.

4. Automate the Campaigns
Use Instantly or Reply.io to send cold emails and automated follow-ups. Track responses and label qualified leads for each client.

5. Package and Sell the Service
Use Canva to create a 1-page service offer. Accept payments with Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy and schedule calls via Calendly.

Tools Required:

ChatGPT, Lindy, Apollo.io, Browse AI, Copy.ai, Reply.io, Google Sheets, Canva, Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy, Calendly

Estimated Time:
3–5 hours to build and launch the system
1–2 hours/week to manage leads and clients

Revenue Potential:

$300–$1,000/month per client
(Agency owners on X report earning $2K+/month with just 2–3 clients using similar AI-based workflows)
