$850 in 30 Days Selling AI Ads to Local Businesses
A broke 23-year-old grad tried ecomm, freelance, and websites. Nothing stuck.
Then he tried an experiment he saw on Reddit…
📝 He writes…
Make 100 short ai ad concepts for local businesses and send them directly to the owners... Just make the actual thing first and send it.
No pitch. Just the finished ad, made with AI, sent cold.
He targeted med spas, gyms, and dentists – they already run promos but their creative is weak.
The funnel from 100 sends 👇
- 19 replied
- 8 asked the price
- 2 bought
- 2 became monthly retainers
First month: $850. He charges $150–250 per ad, or $400–750/month for a batch of 4–6.
What surprised him: local businesses replied way more than ecommerce brands 👀
His biggest lesson though – stop leading with "AI"…
When I said "AI ad," people either ignored it or treated it like some cheap gimmick. When I said "short-form ad concept," they understood it immediately.
Build something useful, show it first, and don't make the tool the headline.
Run this play in any local niche with money and weak ads 😎

Sneaky AI Service That Sells Itself ($500+/Month Per Client)
Chris Koerner shared how to build an AI agent that auto-texts back missed calls for small businesses.
The stat behind it...
57% of sales goes to whoever responds first. And that's not my opinion. That's data.
Most small businesses let missed calls go to voicemail. Callers don't call back.
The fix: an AI agent – built inside GoHighLevel – that texts the caller a couple of minutes later. Not a static "sorry we missed you" – a full two-way conversation that answers questions and books appointments 🤖
Customize the AI prompt per business – tree trimmer, plumber, dentist – and it handles the rest.
Here's the sneaky part 👇
You use the same system to find clients. Record a voicemail, blast it to local business phone numbers, and when they call back... your AI pitches them the service.
Chris demos this live – scrapes 181 tree trimmers in Dallas, sends voicemail drops, and within minutes a business owner texts back asking about pricing 👀
A teenager used the same approach and landed her first client on her 16th birthday.
Cost to start: ~$100/month. One client at $500/month covers everything.
Could be a nice recurring income stream selling this to tradespeople in your area 😎
$14K in 30 Days From Faceless AI TikTok Shop Videos
No face. No inventory. No filming. Just AI clips of trending products, posted to TikTok Shop on repeat 🤖
The clever bit: you're not chasing views. You're catching buyers who already saw the product elsewhere and are ready to pull the trigger.
David Margaryan sums up the logic…
We are not going for views, we are going for conversions.
Because when a video actually gets a conversion, what's going to happen is the brand of that product is going to run ads with their money on your video.
So one converting clip becomes an ad-fueled sales engine – paid for by the brand, not you 👀
The playbook 👇
- Find a surging-but-unsaturated product on Kalodata, a TikTok Shop analytics tool
- Generate a 5-second product clip with AI (~2 minutes)
- Reverse it in CapCut so it zooms in, then out – now it's 10 seconds
- Add a discount overlay ("45% off"), grab a trending sound, post
David runs 15-20 of these a day across several accounts, all handed off to a VA. He shows one client account that hit $14K in its first 30 days 🤯
Commissions on TikTok Shop run roughly 5-10% on electronics and 15-20% on health and wellness – so that's where the math gets interesting fastest 😎
He Built 350+ AI Local Newsletters – Then Got Acquired
📝 Matthew Henderson is a self-taught developer who built an AI newsletter so his grandparents could keep up with their hometown.
Then he scaled it.
By early 2025, his network Good Daily was running 350+ daily local newsletters across 47 states. All AI-driven 🤖
One person at the controls.
In July, 6AM City – the biggest US local newsletter publisher – acquired Good Daily and made Henderson VP of Engineering.
🤑 He'd added 500K+ subscribers in under a year, with markets as small as Rock Springs, WY (pop. 20K).
It's also reshaping how 6AM City scales.
From a recent podcast, COO Ryan Heafy laid out the math 👇
For a quarter million dollars, I can go turn on a city... be live in 90 days and be profitable in two years.
...now I can be up and running in one day and be profitable in two days and be in any city we want to be in.
Pick a small town nobody's covering and spin up your own AI-driven daily digest, monetized via local ads 😎

Client Told Him: This Is The Most Useful Tool For My Business
📝 An indie dev writes about building a simple AI bot that lets you set reminders over WhatsApp – think "remind me to follow up with John tomorrow at 3".
A few weeks in, a tailor told him it was the most useful tool in her whole business. He assumed she meant for her own reminders 👀
She wasn't using it for her own reminders at all. She'd given the number to her customers.
Her customers WhatsApp the bot when their order is ready to be picked up, when they want to reschedule a fitting, or when they want to check their order status.
The reframe 👇
She basically turned a personal productivity tool into a customer communication system. No app, no portal, no login. Just WhatsApp, which every single one of her customers already uses.
We built a reminder bot. She built a lightweight CRM with it.
🛠 You could replicate this with Twilio + a bit of AI for under $10/mo.
Sell to local business owners who are struggling with reminders and DMs across 4 different apps.
One WhatsApp number could replace the lot 🔥

AI Wrote His Last Viral Video (175K+ Views)
📝 Ritesh Verma writes about a system he calls his Content OS…
With Claude Code being as amazing as it is, I have been able to create small (kinda weird) AI systems that act like real humans and do work even better than humans! I even was able to fire my creative director for youtube!
Here's how it works 👇
He fed Claude Code 20 of his best handwritten YouTube scripts and tinkered until it could mimic his voice with 92% accuracy 🤖
Then he hooked it up to a browser so it could research ideas across YouTube, X, LinkedIn, and Reddit.
Scripting time dropped from 2 hours to 20 minutes per video.
The first video the system fully ideated, researched, and scripted...
175K+ views and counting 🤯
Ritesh runs an agency that builds AI "employees" for clients, and his Content OS is essentially a live demo for one of their products.
You could carve out a similar lane – build Content OS setups for YouTubers, podcasters, or LinkedIn ghostwriters who don't want to DIY.
Or think broader: for any niche, there's a version of this waiting to be built 😎

$1 AI Videos – 8.7M Views in a Month
Someone on Reddit shared how he built a system that auto-generates reaction-style marketing videos using AI.
It scrapes viral TikToks, figures out why they blew up, generates AI reaction clips with text overlays and product b-roll, then auto-posts across 12 TikTok and Instagram accounts.
Results after one month? 8.7 million views. One video alone hit 5.3M 🤯
Cost per video? About $1.
His approach 👇
When a format works, milk it with lots of variations and copy it across all accounts.
The trick is narrowing the automation to a very specific type of content. You can clone the automation for different content, but each have their own skill file.
Doing this manually would cost a lot more…
Hiring someone instead of automating it would add (at least) $500 per person per month. Might need 2 people to manage those accounts.
That's $1,000+/month – replaced by ~$1 per video 🤑
Could be a neat agency play: set up AI video pipelines for brands, charge $1,000-2,000/month, and your actual costs are a few hundred bucks 😎
