Check out my newsletter at https://TKOPOD.com and join my new community at https://TKOwners.com https://howdoyouuseai.com/ HoldCo Bros are back! In this two-part episode, @NikonomicsPodcast and I break down a bunch of AI-powered business ideas and practical frameworks for getting your first customers fast. We talk about how cold outreach and fulfillment have never been easier thanks to AI automation tools like ChatGPT, Replit, and custom GPTs. Whether you want to build a low-ticket SaaS, launch a high-ticket B2B offer, or automate services for local businesses, this episode is packed with startup ideas, outreach strategies, and creative ways to monetize your skills. We get into AI business models like selling automations-as-a-service to Fortune 500s, using AI voice agents as personal mentors, building family trivia apps powered by GPT-4, and creating conversational GPTs to help people discover new business opportunities. We also explore the power of small-ticket pricing with upsells, the value of removing friction early, and how to productize your expertise with AI. In part two, we shift gears into physical business ideas, including handyman mentor marketplaces, AI-driven home maintenance tools, and piggybacking off big-ticket home services like pool installs and landscaping. If you're looking for business ideas, startup tips, or clever ways to make money with AI, this one’s for you.
