n8n freelancer hits $8,200 a month in 7 months; no-code AI agency reaches $5,200 MRR in 90 days
Two self-reported cases from a one-person-company guide: an n8n freelancer reaching $8,200 a month after seven months, and a former project manager building a no-code AI automation agency with Make.com, OpenAI and Airtable to six retainer clients at $1,500–5,000 a month within 90 days. Both cases are unverified, and the bottleneck in each story is signing retainer clients, not building the automations.
