One-person AI agency: $0 to $11,200/month in 11 months
A solo operator built an AI marketing agency to $11,200/month in 11 months through service retainers plus digital products and consulting calls, growing from $800 to $1,500 per client via inbound content. The playbook: document the journey publicly, sell services first, layer products later. Self-reported and unverified — and a textbook case of survivorship bias, since failed agencies don't write postmortems.
