I started with AI automation from your videos, built a pre‑packaged system (Lead Lock Engine) but didn’t sell anything. Now I’m moving to the Bulgarian market, where I have native language and sales‑friendly friends. What advice do you have for proceeding?
The same issue that held you back here—lack of commitment—will repeat elsewhere. Success is a self‑fulfilling prophecy: commit long enough and it becomes unreasonable to fail. The Bulgarian market is less competitive and less sophisticated, so you’ll have pricing leverage, which is an advantage.
Honestly, probably yes — I've actually considered brushing up my own Bulgarian (currently conversational, kid-level) and going all-in on that market myself, since it's light years behind what everyone else is doing content-wise. But realistically it doesn't make nearly as much money as the American market where I already have a foothold, which is why I haven't. For you, I think it's worth trying — just make sure you're already making money through outbound first, before focusing on inbound/content, since inbound takes a while to scale, potentially months before you see a dollar even if you post daily from day one. Outbound is a lot more consistent in the meantime.

Focus on an automation pain point that resonates with your target market. Since you’re French, you can still target English‑speaking markets; translating your successful French campaign takes about 20 minutes. Try copying the exact same campaign, translate it to a comfortable fluency level, and send it out. I’ve seen similar campaigns generate eight positive responses out of 300 contacts.

That’s actually quite comparable to what you’re doing at Apple—Apple’s approach is consultative, not hard‑selling, and that’s exactly how you should use AI and automation. Instead of pushing a product, ask the prospect what’s important to them or why they’re interested in the possibility of working with you. Their answer tells you exactly what makes them want to buy, and you simply reflect that back while discussing your offering. From that perspective, I’m looking for a more scalable way to generate leads than going door‑to‑door. Everything I do after that point refers back to scalability and how much better it is than door‑to‑door. In fact, this approach is far more scalable because you set it up once and it delivers leads indefinitely. Apple’s sales model is similar: people want something simple that just works when they turn it on, without constant worries—that’s exactly what you achieve with a consultative, AI‑driven process. To answer your original question: if you’re looking to start using the tools, my Claude Code course is probably the best place to begin. I’m also working on a much larger course that will be even longer, so keep an eye out for that. If your focus is more on what to sell, concentrate on growth‑based systems—those that improve reach, acquisition, conversion, or expansion. As long as you sell systems that touch any of those four areas, you’ll make good money.
The biggest lesson I learned is that the actual product or service you sell doesn’t matter much—AI automation is just a fulfillment mechanism. What really counts are the core business systems you build around it: lead handling, sales scripts, onboarding, admin, hiring, marketing, taxes, etc. Those pieces stay the same across industries; only the specific service you deliver changes. Once you have a solid business foundation, you can swap in any offering and still succeed. I’ve seen the same principles work when I sold videography, local SEO services, courses, and even events—so it’s less an ‘AI journey’ and more a general business journey.
