By Leonardo Grigorio | Build & Ship with AI
Summary
## Key takeaways - **n8n WhatsApp AI Agent Demo**: Start with WhatsApp trigger, connect to AI agent using Gemini 2.0 Flash, set prompt to respond as Michael Scott from The Office, and add Evolution API node to send replies back in 2-3 seconds. [01:05], [02:43] - **Fiverr n8n Gigs Low Competition**: n8n AI search yields 303 results with top gig at 88 reviews for $500 service, unlike Photoshop's 9,400 results, allowing quick entry building basic AI agents, RAG, and automations learned free on YouTube. [04:12], [04:46] - **Network Locally for Fast Cash**: Approach current company, old boss, uncle's business, or barber for AI automations; they feel FOMO from ads like OpenAI's Super Bowl spot and pay for relief, not just service.

so you love the idea of building something cool with AI but you're not sure where to start AI is changing Industries everywhere and businesses are racing to adopt it but most of them have no idea where to actually get started
and that's where you come in this video I'll show you three ways you can start offering AI Solutions and how much you can make with each since they are all related to n8n no coding skills are required and here's the thing this
opportunity window is already starting to close but I believe there's still time for a complete beginner to start and earn while still improving and I want to make it even easier for you by sharing free educational content right
here on this channel there's no need to subscribe just yet if at some point I give you a valuable insight and it sounds like something you'd actually give a shot then welcome aboard the three ways are Fiverr networking and my
favorite n templates so some of you might be interested on the AI automation part but not so much on N maybe you don't even know what n is and so instead of just telling you what it is I'll show
you how it works I'll create a pretty simple automation but I want to be transparent so some of these things are already preconfigured like Evolution for dealing with WhatsApp calls but after you pre-configure everything it gets as
simple as this we start off with the WhatsApp trigger every single message that you receive will trigger this web hook to work and then we can connect this over with an AI agent this AI agent
is also connected to a chat message let's remove that node and let's now attach geminy it's as simple as just selecting a node uh I have a
preconfigured account for gy right here I'll select the better G G llm so 2.0 flash I think there are better ones than those but that might be enough inside
the AI agent I have to place the prompt on which the prompt will be the message sent by the user and I can Define assistant message so you are a helpful assistant you talk as if you are Michael's got from the office and in
here will be whatever the user sent and since I don't want to expose my phone number I'll just use an expression what's in here can be just a drag and drop so you would actually test it so go over to your WhatsApp send a message for
your yourself this would be received inside of this web hook and then you can open this everything you received would be at this side you would just click on the variable and drop it down here now I
have to add the evolution API node this is the node responsible for sending the message back to the user so select message the name of the instance I know this because of the preconfiguration I
made is this the expression for the WhatsApp number is this and the message is whatever is retrieved from the previous code so it's an expression of
Jason output now just with what I created here I could go over to WhatsApp and send a message like WhatsApp now as you can see you can come over to the executions Tab and and follow along with
what's happening behind the scenes so it answered me with what's up Michael Scott Here original manager at Thunder minling it usually takes two to three seconds to respond I don't know if it's because of
Gemini or something else but I hope now you understand what n actually does and there are other AI automation tools out there like like zapier or make I just feel like n is better since it's open source and you can even create your own
custom node and use it in the workflow so that just makes it more customizable and allows us to create even more Fiverr is a freelancing website that has been along for quite a time now and you can create these gigs so in this example I
will use Photoshop to make an amazing edit on your product photos this offering goes for $30 and whoever buys your service can leave a review as you scale up and get more customers you get
to level two there is I believe level three and yeah there's like Fiverr Choice top rated so as you grow inside the platform and offer your your services for more and more people Fiverr
will recommend you even more the reason I believe that Fiverr is an excellent choice right now is because AI is new in terms of the services they offer so if you head over to this panel you'll see that there's a lot of new labels and
even these ones that don't have the new label in them I believe they're not that old if you go over to programm and Tech you'll also find new labels down here and here's the comparison so Photoshop
editing has 9,400 results if I play something like Premier Pro there's 963 results this is mainly because these tools have been around for a very long time so you'll find creators that has up
to 714 reviews so it gets kind of hard to compete with them at this point but that's very different for n AI when you type that in you'll see 303 results and the first person in here has a maximum
of 88 reviews that with a product that's cost $500 so if you multiply that it's basically for 440,000 wow I might be really off wait yeah I placed an extra zero in my mind
but $44,000 just by having this gig right here obviously Fiverr does take its cut but I believe it's like 10% or such and what he's doing is building AI agents
rag automation gen AI relevance n an vapy crew AI calling this is all on YouTube you can find this all for free you can learn this I'm not saying you'll learn this in a week maybe not even in a
month it really depends on your background but it's not something that hard to learn at least the basics and that's the thing that's making it easy today is that with Basics you can actually bring value to companies and
that value might be converted back to you in money now I get it networking isn't exactly a platform and it might sound vague but if you want to start making money with AI fast it's probably
the most realistic path to take so where do you start look around it could be your current company your old boss your uncle's business or even that barber who only replies to WhatsApp messages once
you're looking like a freaking Viking all of them have heard about AI some are more resistant to changes other might not want to pay the value it's actually worth but here's the thing some of these people are feeling the exact fomo you
might be feeling they even avoid talking about AI knowing they'll have to do something about it eventually they watch Super Bowl just to be faced with an open AI
ad what do you want to create next all they are waiting is for someone to tell them that they'll solve it and these guys won't pay pay you just for your service but for the relief you've provided them other than looking around
you get to know new people I've placed a spot in the AI Builders forge community just for job search and job listings check out the link in the description aside from that get your LinkedIn in
shape nothing fancy just clear enough so people know you can help with automations you'd be surprised on how many opportunities come from a solid profile if you really want to make this work start sending some cold emails to
companies people and content creators that could use some automations I show a whole bunch of free workflows here in the channel you won't sell them to people but you can earn money helping them integrate it to their specific
setup now my absolute favorite is n an templates so you can design a complete template as I did right here so AI YouTube Trend finder based on Niche if I open it right here I'll be able to edit
my own workflow uh but that's not what I want I want to actually see it how people would see it publicly and this is the view they would get they could actually scroll around see what's inside this node if you open up my profile
you'll see that this is the only one I've placed so far there is another one in revision but this one alone got up to 13,000 views and I can show you more examples like this one from Derek this
one is different because it's for sale and the way you can place it for sale inside of n is using gumroad if you think it would be nice for me to make a tutorial on how to get your workflow inside of Ann's creators platform please
let me know inside of the description so heading over to his users page let's look up for multi-agent PDF searching that he received 11 ,000 views over the course of four months for this specific
workflow so if you're in sales or marketing you might find this example really stupid but it's really a rough estimation of what we can expect so basically understand that for selling something there's a a funnel and then
the top of the funnel is all the views and how you get these views can either be organic or paid uh in this case is all organic because this is just being
showcased inside of Na's templates in this case 11,000 people the majority of them might just have clicked inside of this workflow just like I did so just visited was curious uh there's another
part of them like I'd say like 20% that was actually needing this workflow and then it just goes boiling down until there's some people left and these people left are actually the ones
interested enough to actually buy this product chat GPT boiled it down to as low as 1% and as high as 5% so let's just consider the worst case which would give him 100 sales and that's equivalent
to $2,750 so considering this is just one of many workflows you can place out there at least for me it really sounds like an awesome idea that is it for today if you have any questions please let me know in
the comment section and I'll see you in the next video till then
