Automation specialists sell hours back to businesses. Employers test with real workflows, not certificates.
Steps
1Learn the stack
API basics, webhooks, one automation platform, spreadsheets-as-database, basic scripting.
2Document 3 case studies
Problem, hours before, solution, hours after - with screenshots. Numbers get interviews.
3Specialise in a niche
Real estate follow-ups, clinic reminders, e-commerce ops. Niches pay premiums.
4Price on value
Charge from hours saved monthly, not hours worked. Retainers beat one-off gigs.
Good to know: Start with free audits for 2-3 businesses. Findings become proposals; proposals become retainers.
