What services could be offered for e-commerce businesses by someone starting an AI automation agency or coaching business? I'm confused about which niche to choose and what services to offer.
Most low‑hanging e‑commerce fruit—like automated product descriptions, recurring emails, and checkout flows—is already handled by platforms, so you need to look beyond those basics. If the store is mostly B2C, reframe the problem as B2B: help the owner reach retailers, distributors, or influencers and set up partnership automations. In practice that often means building an email campaign and an affiliate funnel that contacts influencers, gives them free products, and tracks resulting sales. Many influencer‑marketing services are generic and lack personalization; you can improve them by scraping a creator’s recent post, paraphrasing it as an icebreaker, and offering a simple promo or swag kit. You can also layer AI into newsletters or marketing sequences—using survey data, product‑history, or other signals to personalize outreach. For coaches who feel stuck on choosing a niche or services, the real issue is a lack of confidence; pick three niches you feel about 70 % confident in and start acting (LinkedIn cold outreach, short videos, Upwork applications) rather than waiting for certainty.
