AI agency reality check: 0K month after a niche pivot, 3K MRR in 90 days
A reality check on AI agency income contrasts two operators: one collected 0,000 in the month after pivoting from generic AI automation to one expensive problem for one client type, and another reached 14 clients and 3,000 monthly recurring revenue in 90 days by automating real-estate lead follow-up on 00-3,500 retainers. Both cases price against the cost of the client problem, not hours or tool complexity, while the article warns generalist agencies are racing to the bottom.
