Hello, you mentioned a consulting fee up to $500 an hour, but you did not give any numerical guidance for the monthly retainer which would be helpful. Thank you so much for this amazing video. You really did pack a lot of information and value. I appreciate itso much!

[@vishalteckchandani2173]

Hello, the reason I didn't give guidance for that one is because there are many different ways agencies structure and price their monthly retainers. In general, it can be several hundreds of dollars to thousands per month. As an example of something I've done: I charged one of my clients $500/month for 1 x blog. This gave my client 5 hours of my time per month. The way I packaged it is actually cheaper than my hourly rate, so my client gets the benefit of a discount but I get the benefit of monthly recurring income. Hope that helps!

Hi Vishal, thank you so much for this info, it’s so detailed and quite a booster. I am looking to start a web design agency and adding ai automation will help me deliver more value to my potential clients. Initially, i have been looking to contact only a few local businesses but following your guidance i have just done a search and discovered that there are loads of local businesses i can target and convert. I am quite interested in the framework you spoke about, as a beginner, i am only at the research stage and i am ready to go into implementation. Thanks a lot for this, this will help a lot, i know it.

[@Vendasta]

Good stuff, we'll get the deck out! Do you run an agency? For the AI assisted social media mentioned in that other video, we have our Social Marketing product (it uses OpenAI to write prompts and also has AI image generation). We also mention targeted social ads, our Advertising Intelligence product covers that service. We can also do the ad fulfillment through our marketing services team. We mention the product in that video at this spot: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXjbhKh4j5x4bsU The Vendasta platform will cover more than just social, you can check out a 60 second explainer here, or better yet, try the 14-day trial to see for yourself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmGlhaSXdrholbs

I don't understand why all the people say the prospection in begining, if I don't have any services in AI why I go to search prospect to sign them. Is it the good process from scratch ? This is a question, if u have a reponse at this question I'm interest. thx for your content !

I would invite you to try the 14 day trial to test out some of the tools. You can do most of what we talk about and offer products to resell right off the bat with our $99/month (USD) plan. As far as the age requirement goes, I don't think there is a minimum age. However after the 14 day trial, you will need to use a credit card.

You're talking about the ChatGPT extension for Docs or Word? If it's not working for you there, try it in our Social Marketing app. It will definitely write posts for you in a matter of seconds. It may need refining at times, but with the correct prompts it can be a major time saver.
