The problem it solves
Many businesses overpay for automation services that do not fit their needs, leading to unnecessary expenses. Current solutions often lack tailored support and guidance for transitioning to more efficient automation tools.
How it makes money
Service-based model with a commission on the savings realized by clients.
Skills you need
Proficiency in automation tools, understanding of business processes, sales skills, and customer relationship management.
The market, and why this works now
The increasing adoption of Make as a cost-effective automation tool presents a viable opportunity for businesses to transition from pricier services like Zapier. A concrete first-revenue move could involve engaging with the Automation subreddit, where many users seek advice on optimizing their workflows. A key constraint is the need for capital to develop marketing materials and support resources, as well as the potential for a lengthy customer acquisition cost payback window due to the initial investment in outreach and education.
