No-team, no-code: solo operators turning Make.com and AI into consistent 10K months
A freelancer who once billed 40 dollars an hour building WordPress sites now sells one lead-qualification workflow built on n8n and Claude, charging 3,500 dollars setup plus 300 dollars a month, and repeated the template across 22 clients for about 6,600 dollars a month in recurring revenue plus build fees. The stack costs under 50 dollars a month: Make.com at 9 dollars or self-hosted n8n on a cheap VPS, with a language model handling unstructured input for pennies per run. The figures are self-reported and the bottleneck remains finding businesses willing to pay.
