How should I package my template automation workflows into a service, what is a reasonable starting price, and which industry or low‑hanging fruit should I target?
You want to package your templated automation workflows into a service. I think all automation services should be templated because that gives you the biggest leverage on your time. By using templates you can collect the full fee—say $1,000—but only do a fraction of the work, maybe 20 % or less. That means you’re effectively 5× leveraged: you earn five times the money for the same amount of effort. For example, a proposal system that would normally take five hours to build from scratch can be turned into a template that you sell, copy‑paste the make.com blueprint, spend about 45 minutes on connections and 15 minutes recording a walkthrough video, and you’ve delivered the whole project in roughly one hour. Save each project as a blueprint, video, and documentation so you build an SOP for yourself and future team members. This templated approach lets you scale quickly and keep costs low while delivering high‑value automation services.
