00:00:00.320 What AI business has the highest income
00:00:02.639 potential today? As someone who’s made
00:00:04.960 millions with AI products in my company,
00:00:06.960 Martell Ventures, I’m going to show you
00:00:08.639 the five AI businesses I’d build if I
00:00:11.200 was starting from scratch with zero
00:00:13.280 employees. I’ll even show you how you
00:00:15.200 can start any of these businesses with a
00:00:17.199 simple four-step process. And at the
00:00:19.920 end, I’ll actually pick one and walk you
00:00:22.240 through the first step myself. I’ll also
00:00:24.720 break down the cost, effort, and income
00:00:26.800 potential for each one of them. This
00:00:28.720 isn’t some get-richqu These
00:00:30.880 are real money-making opportunities you
00:00:32.719 can start today. So, let’s dive in.
00:00:34.640 Number five, one of my favorites, the AI
00:00:37.840 appointment setter. Essentially,
00:00:39.600 businesses are going to pay you to take
00:00:41.360 the inbound calls, put AI in the middle,
00:00:43.840 and get them setting appointments so
00:00:45.680 they can get sales. It’s such an easy
00:00:48.160 thing to sell because essentially,
00:00:50.000 you’re taking somebody that’s full-time
00:00:51.840 that costs money to answer that phone
00:00:54.320 for a fraction of the cost to actually
00:00:56.160 perform better than they can. So, the
00:00:57.920 coolest part is the cost is low for you
00:01:00.800 to get started because it doesn’t cost
00:01:02.239 anything. The effort is medium because
00:01:04.640 you do need to learn some new skills
00:01:06.159 like a little bit of sales and a little
00:01:07.760 bit of configuration, but the potential
00:01:10.080 is massive. Literally, you could be
00:01:12.000 making $500 to $1,000 a day easily just
00:01:15.680 by talking to businesses that want to
00:01:17.520 make more money. Now, I understand this
00:01:19.360 can sound a little bit crazy, but I’m
00:01:21.520 going to show you through an example.
00:01:23.119 Okay? Okay, so there’s a company called
00:01:24.479 youratlas.com which is essentially an AI
00:01:26.880 appointment setter. You can go to the
00:01:28.960 website right now and try it out for
00:01:30.720 yourself. When you come in, they
00:01:32.320 actually prompt you to do a demo. Hey,
00:01:34.240 let’s try it out, which I love. You just
00:01:35.920 put in your information. I’m going to
00:01:37.200 put Dan Mel. I’m going to give it my
00:01:38.720 email address and I give it my phone
00:01:40.400 number and then I just say talk to the
00:01:42.000 AI. Now it’s going to call me happen in
00:01:44.079 real time. I accept. Listen to this.
00:01:46.240 Am I speaking with Dan?
00:01:47.439 Yeah. Hey Emma, this is Dan.
00:01:48.799 Great. Thanks for confirming Dan. How’s
00:01:50.399 your day going?
00:01:51.119 It’s going amazing. Emma, I’m a little
00:01:53.200 busy. Can we make this really quick? I
00:01:54.960 just checking out the website. I wasn’t
00:01:56.079 sure what it is, but I’ve got a small
00:01:57.680 business and I need to automate my sales
00:01:59.920 calls or honestly any appointment calls
00:02:02.240 people call me.
00:02:02.960 I totally get it, Dan, to keep this
00:02:04.320 quick. Atlas is the world’s first AI
00:02:06.159 revenue engine that ensures you never
00:02:07.520 lose a lead to slow follow-ups that ad
00:02:09.360 spend again. This is like yours spending
00:02:10.800 at least $3,000 monthly on ads. Is Atlas
00:02:13.280 to automate and drive more sales. Does
00:02:15.280 automating your calls and appointments
00:02:16.720 like this sound like the kind of
00:02:18.000 solution your business could benefit
00:02:19.440 from? Yeah, that’s actually why I’m
00:02:21.599 calling.
00:02:22.080 That’s fantastic to hear, Dan. Let’s get
00:02:23.840 you connected with our founder for a
00:02:25.360 quick demo. It’ll show you exactly how
00:02:27.360 Atlas can work for your business. Would
00:02:29.040 you prefer a time today or later this
00:02:30.879 week? All appointments are in Atlantic
00:02:32.800 time.
00:02:33.200 I’m busy today. Let’s do it tomorrow at
00:02:35.200 4:00. Do you have an opening?
00:02:36.879 Okay, I’m just checking on that. One
00:02:38.160 sec. It looks like tomorrow we don’t
00:02:39.760 have a slot free at 400 p.m., but we
00:02:41.599 have availability on August 26th at 6:30
00:02:44.239 p.m. or 7:30 p.m. Atlantic time. Would
00:02:46.720 one of these slots work for you?
00:02:48.319 Yeah, that works. So, let’s do 6:30.
00:02:50.000 That was all AI. Isn’t that freaking
00:02:52.080 crazy? Like, human level conversation. I
00:02:55.200 gave it objections. I told it times. It
00:02:56.879 confirmed the call and it’s going to
00:02:58.000 send me a text message. I mean, it’s
00:02:59.360 wild. There’s no way businesses don’t
00:03:01.360 buy that. So, now I want to teach you
00:03:02.720 the AI startup ladder because these are
00:03:04.720 the exact steps you’re going to want to
00:03:06.239 go through to actually start your AI
00:03:07.920 company. Step one is validate. You have
00:03:10.239 to pick a niche and outreach to them.
00:03:12.319 It’s essentially a way to prove that the
00:03:14.400 people want to buy what you’re selling.
00:03:16.159 So, you might start with med spas or
00:03:18.560 lawn care or maybe agency founders that
00:03:21.040 are looking to book sales calls. Step
00:03:22.879 two is you want to pre-ell. That’s where
00:03:25.120 you sell and collect the cash before you
00:03:27.680 ever build. It’s actually pretty simple.
00:03:29.920 You just create a document with the
00:03:31.680 offer of what you do. And in there, you
00:03:33.840 have a Stripe link so that after you
00:03:35.440 have the conversation about your AI
00:03:37.120 startup, they just buy by clicking the
00:03:39.120 Stripe link. If you don’t know what that
00:03:40.560 is, it’s very simple. Just Google
00:03:42.480 Stripe. Step three is deliver. As soon
00:03:45.840 as somebody buys from you, put all
00:03:47.440 things aside and go and deliver on that
00:03:50.000 thing you sold. If you want to scale,
00:03:51.840 you want referrals, don’t wait. Act
00:03:53.920 fast. It may take some manual work at
00:03:56.000 the beginning, but getting a customer a
00:03:57.840 win in the first 48 hours is how you
00:03:59.599 build your reputation. Step number four,
00:04:02.000 now we build. That’s where we take what
00:04:03.920 we’ve sold and productize the service so
00:04:06.080 that you have some stability and when
00:04:07.840 you sell, you can automate the
00:04:09.519 deployment so that you could build the
00:04:11.360 business in a way to scale it and to
00:04:13.200 grow it. Before I share the second AI
00:04:15.280 business, just to make it clear, if you
00:04:17.040 want to try out any of the tools I
00:04:18.560 mentioned in this video for yourself,
00:04:20.079 the link is below in the description.
00:04:22.079 But if you’re building real AI
00:04:23.840 innovation right now and want to partner
00:04:25.680 with me and my team at Martell Ventures,
00:04:27.680 just message me ventures on Instagram
00:04:29.680 and we’ll see if it’d be a fit. Number
00:04:31.600 four, AI content repurposing service.
00:04:34.639 Essentially, companies will pay you to
00:04:36.800 take like long- form video content like
00:04:39.120 podcasts or webinars or maybe some
00:04:41.360 YouTube videos they’re doing and then
00:04:43.199 repurpose them as short form clips on
00:04:45.280 all the different platforms like Tik
00:04:46.800 Tok, Instagram, YouTube shorts so that
00:04:49.040 you can get them more reach and eyeballs
00:04:51.440 back to the long- form content to get
00:04:53.199 them sales. So, the cool part is the
00:04:55.280 cost is low because you don’t need a lot
00:04:57.520 of tools to get started. The effort is
00:04:59.600 medium because there are some skills you
00:05:01.520 need to learn. But the coolest part is
00:05:03.280 the income potential is $750 to $1,000 a
00:05:06.880 day. It’s kind of crazy cuz there’s a
00:05:08.400 freelancer I know that used an AI tool
00:05:10.240 to scale podcast to shorts. That was
00:05:12.320 their service and now earns $30,000 a
00:05:15.039 month from only seven clients. We’re
00:05:16.960 living in a world where the amount of
00:05:19.120 content and the desire to get a message
00:05:21.440 out there has just scaled. And we live
00:05:23.440 where there’s this thing called interest
00:05:25.120 media, not social media, where the
00:05:27.840 algorithms are trying to find niche
00:05:30.000 content to serve those people. And
00:05:31.919 somebody that can take all that
00:05:33.520 information a business is already
00:05:34.960 producing. I’m talking like Zoom calls,
00:05:37.199 podcast, long form, and trim it down
00:05:39.600 into short form and manage the
00:05:41.360 publishing schedule. They’re going to be
00:05:42.800 in so much demand. So, if you’re in the
00:05:44.560 content game in general, this one’s for
00:05:46.720 you. Now, let’s get into the biggest
00:05:48.639 opportunities of the next decade. Number
00:05:50.720 three is AI sales chatbot. This is where
00:05:54.880 you help somebody set up an AI chatbot
00:05:58.000 that takes all of their chats, I’m
00:06:00.160 talking social media chats, text
00:06:02.240 messages, emails, all the platforms, and
00:06:05.520 converts those conversations into sales
00:06:08.160 for the business. It’s wild. I literally
00:06:10.639 know hundreds of people that make tens
00:06:13.120 of thousand dollars every month doing
00:06:15.120 this for businesses. There’s so much
00:06:16.960 content being created and it’s
00:06:18.720 generating followers and even chats in
00:06:21.199 the social platforms that most business
00:06:23.360 owners don’t have the time to actually
00:06:25.199 respond to people. So what you do is you
00:06:27.120 create an AI chatbot that takes that
00:06:29.280 conversation, turns it into a sales
00:06:31.199 conversation and takes those follows and
00:06:33.680 turn them into leads for the business.
00:06:35.360 So now that we break it down, the cost
00:06:37.680 is medium because there’s a little bit
00:06:39.520 more tools and some custom coding
00:06:41.199 involved to make it work for the
00:06:42.720 specific business. The effort is also
00:06:44.880 medium because there’s some skills you
00:06:46.639 need to learn for sure, especially like
00:06:48.240 how does a good sales chat go, but the
00:06:50.400 income potential is even higher because
00:06:52.639 of the volume. You could potentially be
00:06:54.720 making $1,000 to $1,500 a day on the low
00:06:58.000 end. The income is so high because it’s
00:07:00.319 such a unique process. So when then you
00:07:02.479 come in, it feels like free money to
00:07:04.639 them. So they’re willing to pay more
00:07:06.319 because they’re not replacing you for
00:07:07.759 something else. They’re essentially
00:07:08.960 starting to do something they weren’t
00:07:10.560 doing. So, for example, there’s a
00:07:12.240 product called Get Revio that went from
00:07:14.319 zero to $60,000 per month in under seven
00:07:17.520 months taking advantage of this chat
00:07:19.919 economy. That’s $2,000 a day. You can
00:07:22.880 use their product to serve your
00:07:24.319 customers or build something custom, but
00:07:26.720 this world is not going to go away and
00:07:28.639 it’s an opportunity anybody can take
00:07:30.240 advantage of right now. Essentially, to
00:07:32.000 start, just go back and run through the
00:07:34.000 AI startup ladder and it’ll crush for
00:07:36.319 you. So far, we’ve covered calls,
00:07:38.800 content, and even chat. Now, let’s talk
00:07:41.520 about cleaning up the data and getting
00:07:43.280 paid for it. Which brings us to number
00:07:45.120 two, an AI data cleanup agency.
00:07:48.400 Essentially, what you do is you offer
00:07:50.479 the service to clean up the internal
00:07:52.720 information within a business. Because
00:07:54.720 right now, most businesses, they have
00:07:56.800 like this messy, crazy collage of
00:07:59.759 information. They have everything from
00:08:01.199 their emails to the relationship
00:08:02.879 software for their customers,
00:08:04.240 spreadsheets that essentially running
00:08:05.680 departments. Imagine if somebody could
00:08:07.840 come in, clean up all that information,
00:08:10.000 put an AI on top of it so that the
00:08:12.080 business owner can ask a question about
00:08:13.680 their business and get the exact quality
00:08:16.080 answer. So the cost is medium because
00:08:18.319 you are going to pay for some other
00:08:19.599 tools. So, for example, not only do you
00:08:22.000 have to like pay for the tools to clean
00:08:23.680 up the information, then you’re going to
00:08:25.280 have to pay for another tool to convert
00:08:27.039 the information into a vectorzed
00:08:29.199 database so that the AI can actually
00:08:31.680 talk to it. Now, the effort is also
00:08:33.519 going to be medium because you’re going
00:08:34.799 to have to learn some unique skills to
00:08:36.399 that kind of cleanup and processing for
00:08:38.719 searching. But the income potential is
00:08:40.958 really high, like $1,500 to $3,000 a
00:08:43.919 day, because now you’re getting into the
00:08:46.000 business consulting space where you’re
00:08:48.320 helping a business owner understand
00:08:50.240 their business where they can make
00:08:51.680 better decisions. And those decisions
00:08:53.519 could save them 50, 100, a million
00:08:56.240 dollars a year. And the cool part is
00:08:57.920 you’re also now starting to sell to like
00:08:59.920 bigger companies that have more money to
00:09:02.320 invest in making their operations
00:09:04.480 better. And you are the expert. You
00:09:06.880 might think everybody knows AI right
00:09:08.640 now. Trust me, they don’t. And if they
00:09:10.720 do, their number one bottleneck is
00:09:12.720 having anybody on their team that knows
00:09:14.160 how to do this stuff, and they’re
00:09:15.519 willing to pay top dollar for that. For
00:09:17.040 example, my friend Matt built a company
00:09:18.880 called precision.co that scaled from
00:09:21.040 zero to $700,000 in 7 months using this
00:09:24.880 process. And again, to be successful,
00:09:27.279 run through the four-step process in the
00:09:29.519 AI startup ladder so that you get paid
00:09:31.760 upfront before you build anything. This
00:09:33.680 one, I’m personally biased, but I think
00:09:35.839 it’s the biggest opportunity of the next
00:09:37.600 decade to unlock people’s productivity
00:09:39.680 and make a ton of money. Number one,
00:09:42.240 this one’s so fun. The AI inbox and
00:09:44.720 calendar manager. Essentially, you’re
00:09:47.279 going to get paid to build an executive
00:09:50.080 assistant using AI to help these
00:09:52.399 business owners manage emails and
00:09:54.320 meetings. The last thing that
00:09:56.320 entrepreneurs and CEOs want to do is
00:09:58.240 manage their own freaking inbox in their
00:09:59.839 calendar. It’s like having somebody come
00:10:02.560 in and automate 95% of that is going to
00:10:05.920 feel like the most powerful thing that’s
00:10:07.920 happened to their life and you get to be
00:10:09.839 the person to do that. Cool part is the
00:10:11.920 cost is actually low because it doesn’t
00:10:13.920 take a lot to set this up. The effort is
00:10:15.839 medium because you are going to have to
00:10:17.200 sit down and work with these CEOs to
00:10:18.880 understand their workflows. But the best
00:10:20.640 part, you could be making $3 to $5,000 a
00:10:24.320 day helping these CEOs buy back their
00:10:26.560 time. For example, there’s an AI company
00:10:28.560 called Fixer that went from 1 million in
00:10:30.560 annual revenue to over 10 million in
00:10:32.560 just the last 5 months. That’s $27,000
00:10:35.680 per day. This opportunity is massive.
00:10:38.399 Now, as I promised you at the beginning
00:10:39.920 of this video, let’s do the first step
00:10:41.920 of the AI startup ladder together. The
00:10:44.160 business I would pick to start this
00:10:46.000 year, drum roll please, the AI inbox and
00:10:49.360 calendar manager. It’s a no-brainer. I
00:10:50.880 wrote a book called Buy Back Your Time.
00:10:52.560 This one is the nearest and dearest to
00:10:53.920 my heart. It’s also the thing that I
00:10:55.920 recently paid for somebody to work with
00:10:58.000 my assistant to buy back 92% of their
00:11:01.440 time managing those two areas of my
00:11:03.120 life. So, here’s how I would do it. I’m
00:11:04.399 gonna call somebody. I actually know
00:11:06.079 they have an assistant. I don’t know how
00:11:08.079 good they are. I don’t know if they’re
00:11:09.519 happy with them. And I’m going to walk
00:11:10.800 you through how I’m going to identify
00:11:12.160 the pain, figure out the cost that
00:11:13.920 they’re willing to associate to that
00:11:15.440 pain, and then offer them a solution
00:11:17.440 that costs less than what they’re paying
00:11:18.800 for today. I’m calling my buddy Josh.
00:11:21.440 Let’s see what he says. Hey Josh, how
00:11:24.480 you doing?
00:11:24.800 I’m good. How are you?
00:11:25.519 I’m doing incredible. Quick question.
00:11:27.360 You have an EA, correct? If you had to
00:11:29.120 think about like the areas of working
00:11:30.800 with them that doesn’t work the best,
00:11:32.560 like if you could wave a magic wand and
00:11:34.399 it would be like super awesome. What are
00:11:36.320 things that are not like perfect right
00:11:37.760 now
00:11:38.160 with my EA?
00:11:39.360 Yeah.
00:11:39.760 Honestly, dealing with a lot of my
00:11:40.959 household stuff with my rental
00:11:42.480 properties and things like that being in
00:11:44.160 different like I got some places in
00:11:46.000 Mexico like remote gap has probably been
00:11:48.640 the biggest challenge for me recently.
00:11:50.240 And then is a lot of that stuff that
00:11:51.839 you’re managing, does that come through
00:11:53.120 your inbox? Like a lot of communication
00:11:54.800 goes through inbox
00:11:55.920 100%.
00:11:56.880 And if that was like absolutely dialed
00:11:59.600 in and you could think about like what
00:12:01.600 that future would look like, what do you
00:12:03.279 think the gap in opportunity is? Not
00:12:05.200 necessarily just the time, but just like
00:12:06.959 having the time, the mental load not
00:12:09.120 there like just what’s that worth to
00:12:10.880 you?
00:12:11.200 For me, saving 5 to 10 hours a week is
00:12:13.519 worth. And so at least 10 hours a week
00:12:16.000 of that stuff that I wish I didn’t have
00:12:17.600 to deal with.
00:12:18.399 Wow. So, if you’re saying 10 hours a
00:12:20.880 week at thousands of dollars at minimum
00:12:23.680 10,000 a week, it would be the upside
00:12:25.920 and the potential of what you don’t have
00:12:27.680 today.
00:12:28.240 Correct.
00:12:29.040 Crazy. All right. Well, what I’ve got
00:12:30.800 I’ve been working on this new offer
00:12:32.880 that’s essentially an inboxing calendar
00:12:35.040 manager that takes exactly what you’re
00:12:37.920 saying is stress points and actually
00:12:40.240 gets this automated for you so that you
00:12:42.639 don’t have to think about it. And the
00:12:44.079 coolest part is I train it off of you
00:12:46.480 and what you know so that it acts just
00:12:48.959 like you so that you don’t have to be
00:12:50.800 involved but it does the thing the way
00:12:52.800 you would want to do it. Does that make
00:12:54.240 sense?
00:12:54.720 Like it it deals with my ideas
00:12:58.560 all of it. Yeah. Because it can learn
00:13:00.320 everything from your inbox. Your
00:13:02.320 calendar has all the data. I’m assuming
00:13:04.079 you have things scheduled there. So it
00:13:05.360 can learn from your calendar. It learns
00:13:06.800 from your inbox. And then the best part
00:13:08.639 is is that it doesn’t do anything until
00:13:10.240 you train it. But once it’s trained, it
00:13:12.240 actually works just like you would
00:13:14.160 without you being involved.
00:13:16.079 I know it sounds like magic. Here’s the
00:13:18.000 deal. I’m just what I’m going to do is
00:13:19.120 I’m going to schedule a call with you
00:13:21.120 and do a product demo to actually show
00:13:23.200 you how it works and then we can talk
00:13:24.880 about moving forward then. Does that
00:13:26.160 make sense? Cool. Let’s get it
00:13:27.839 scheduled. He actually thinks that I’m
00:13:29.200 selling this. Here’s the big idea. It’s
00:13:31.279 about doing the reps. It’s about picking
00:13:33.360 up the phone. The first three calls are
00:13:35.440 not going to feel good. Just get the
00:13:37.040 calls done. Learn the pitch. Learn the
00:13:39.360 flow. Learn how to speak to the
00:13:41.040 customer. Learn to understand where
00:13:42.399 their problems are. All I did is very
00:13:44.240 simple. I nailed the problem and then I
00:13:47.120 talked about the potential. I quantified
00:13:49.519 it quickly and then I said I had a
00:13:51.519 solution that would solve the problem
00:13:53.360 the way they explained to me they wish
00:13:55.040 it was solved for them. From that place,
00:13:57.040 I scheduled the next call. It gives them
00:13:58.639 time to think about it and I can come in
00:14:00.880 with a demo just like the one I showed
00:14:02.800 you and they go, “Wow, AI today when it
00:14:06.560 works well, it feels like magic.” The
00:14:09.040 customers won’t even believe it when you
00:14:10.800 show it to them. But when you get that
00:14:12.639 first customer, the second customer, the
00:14:14.399 third customer, and you build that proof
00:14:16.480 point and you collect those
00:14:17.760 testimonials, it creates the snowball
00:14:20.800 that makes you the number one person in
00:14:23.519 your niche. And that’s how you build a
00:14:25.440 business in this new AI economy. Now, I
00:14:27.680 know this is a little overwhelming and
00:14:29.279 there’s a lot of options on what kind of
00:14:31.040 businesses to start, but the key is to
00:14:33.199 look at your situation. Ask yourself
00:14:35.279 like what business do you find the most
00:14:37.360 fascinating? What do you inherently
00:14:38.959 enjoy? And pick one and go allin. Follow
00:14:43.040 the AI startup ladder. Validate. Pick up
00:14:46.079 the phone. Call. Call. Call. I’m telling
00:14:48.880 you, that is the skill. AI can give you
00:14:51.680 answers, but it can’t do the action for
00:14:54.240 you. You need to be the one to find the
00:14:55.839 customer, validate, sell, and use that
00:14:58.240 money to build out the business. If you
00:15:00.000 want to learn the 15 AI tools you need
