Hey community! Just beginning my lessons in the AI Consultant Pathway, I sent my first reach-outs messages (WhatsApp) just wish me luck! 💪

Random thought I had, I've been seeing more ads on AI getting more and more advanced, for example, grok bot, what if these companies make it so easy to install your own workflows or services that it isn't necessary for people to install them, another example is shopify that automated "abandonment cart" What do you guys think?

Welcome! It's great to have you here. Before you introduce yourself, let me tell you why this community exists. 📍 Our mission The world is about to split between people who can use AI and people who cannot. We exist to stop that gap becoming permanent. This community exists to put you in that second group. My team and I run Morningside AI, a 7-figure AI business working with everyone from local companies through to Fortune 500s. Along the way, we created the AI Automation Agency (AAA) model: the framework thousands of people now use to start and scale their own AI businesses. Everything we teach comes straight from the frontlines. Not theory. Not guru talk. What's actually working right now, handed over. And we've watched complete beginners in here go from "I know nothing about AI" to landing their first paying clients. That's the whole point of this place. You're next. With that out of the way, start here 👇 1. Introduce yourself below. Drop a comment with: - Where in the world you're from - What you're building toward (first client? career change? scaling an agency?) - One thing you're stuck on right now 2. Then head to the Classroom → Start Here. It takes 10 minutes, and you'll know exactly what to do first. While you're in the comments, read a few intros. If someone's story sounds like yours, tell them. Some of the best client work in this community started with two members saying hi. See you inside, Liam 💪🏽

I’m running a 30-day sprint to land my first client, selling lead-response automation to Miami luxury real estate agents. Week 1 is done. Here’s what happened, including what went wrong. What I did - Emailed 30 agents a generic “I’m interested in buying a property” inquiry to measure how fast they reply - Followed up with every agent by LinkedIn DM or email - Started A/B testing two LinkedIn openers: an audit offer (“I can share how you compared”) vs. a plain question (“when a buyer inquiry comes in at 10 pm, who responds, and how fast?”) The numbers - 1 of 30 replied in under 5 minutes, 4 more within 24 hours, and 25 never replied - 6 replies to my follow-ups: 1 positive (asked for my results), 3 polite “thanks,” 1 soft objection, 1 complaint - Calls booked: 0 - Opener A/B: too early to call, 18 audit DMs vs. 5 question openers What went wrong My first test wasn’t disclosed. I emailed as a pretend buyer. The first agent to reply called it misleading, and she was right. I switched to telling every agent upfront that it was a test and apologizing. Since then, nobody has complained. What I learned 1. Disclose the test. A trick that costs trust is a bad trade when trust is what you’re selling. 2. “Thanks” isn’t interest. I only count an explicit ask, like “send me the results.” 3. Qualify by lead source first. One agent told me that if a lead goes cold, it wasn’t serious. His business runs on referrals, so he doesn’t feel the problem. My offer fits agents with lots of cold inbound leads from ads and portals. 4. Fix the tracking before trusting the numbers. My sheet had wrong dates and an empty reply column, which would have wrecked my A/B comparison. Week 2: lead-source question first, a listing address in every test, and a weekly recount of results. Anyone else A/B testing openers? What reply rate are you seeing, and what counts as a “positive” for you?

I want to sell websites built with AI to local businesses, and I have a few questions: 1. What is the best AI coding agent for building websites with minimal coding knowledge? 2. Where can I temporarily host a website preview so the client can review it for free? After the client approves it, how can I host the website on Hostinger? 3. Is it possible to add interactive features (such as contact forms, Google Maps locations, and other functionalities) to websites using AI? If anyone here knows the answers, please share them with me. Thanks!
