Things are about to get crazy! On September 22nd, we’re kicking off our second AIS+ Hackathon, same $5,000 grand prize, same $1,000 beginner prize, but a totally different focus. This time, it’s all about lead generation automations that small businesses can actually use. Imagine creating a system that automatically finds new customers every week: - A plumber in Austin getting fresh leads from Google Maps. - A local gym targeting people posting about fitness in their city. - An agency scraping LinkedIn for B2B prospects and enriching them with Clearbit. That’s what this hackathon is about, building something valuable enough that small businesses would pay you for it. The catch? You have to be an AIS+ member. Click here to get all the details The short version: → If you’re a beginner, you get all of the training and support you need to get started. → If you’re a pro, this is your chance to show off your skills and win $5000, plus get featured on my YouTube channel. If you’ve been waiting for a good reason to join, this is it. :-) Claim your spot before we start the Hackathon on Sep 22nd! Cheers, Nate

Hi everyone! My name is Roger, and for the past few months, I've been completely immersed in learning n8n (dedicating about 6 hours a day!). Automation has become a real passion, and I'm eager to start offering services commercially. I'm reaching out to this community for advice on choosing the right starting niche. My professional background is in the hospitality industry, where I gained significant experience not just in operations, but especially in building customer relationships. This means I'm very comfortable interacting with people, I enjoy connecting with them, and I feel confident discussing business needs. Now, I want to combine this experience with my newfound passion for n8n. I'm looking for an area where I can best leverage my interpersonal skills and my enthusiasm for solving problems through automation. I'm not afraid of challenges and I'm eager to learn the specifics of a new industry. My question for you is: Given my background in hospitality/customer service and my passion for n8n, what 3 potential niches would you recommend for me to start with? In your opinion, where could someone with my profile add the most value and find their first clients or gigs? I'm open to all suggestions – it could be a specific industry, a type of problem to solve, or a particular kind of client. I'd be very grateful for your ideas and experiences!
