Here are some real life success stories of starting a automation service business:
1. AYH Consulting Ltd ($60K/year)
Sami Abid (from London) started AYH Consulting Ltd about 2 years ago.
Hi! Thank you for the opportunity. My name is Sami Abid, founder and Managing Director of AYH Consulting Ltd. I started a service-based business in October, 2020 to help businesses automate their repetitive tasks and streamline their business operations using low-code applications e.g Airtable, Notion, Zoho, HubSpot, Knack, Zapier, Integromat and n8n. I am currently earning an average of $6k/month via retainer contracts and hunting for new business every month.
Initially this was a side-hustle where I helped small businesses in my free time but now I have slowly scaled my business and gone full time to serve small and medium-sized enterprises.
