Youâve seen it all by now:
âStart your SMMA or AI-Agency in 2 weeks (or less) and hit $10K/month â even if youâve never opened a laptop before.â
It sounds good. Real good. You get the roadmap:
- Send 500 cold DMs
- Book 20 calls
- Close 3 clients
- $2,000/month retainer
- $900/month in tools or ad spend
đ„ Boom â welcome to your $6K/month agency life.
Then they throw in a â90-Day Profit Guaranteeâ like:
âIf you donât make your money back, weâll refund and work for free.â
(Translation: We donât trust our own process, but hey, sounds cool for the funnel.)
Letâs be realâŠ
What They Donât Tell You:
- If you come from a tech or creative background, great â youâll understand tools and systems faster.
- But agency building isnât plug-and-play.
- It takes time to figure out your market, your offer, and your delivery model.
- Thereâs NO such thing as a free agency model â unless your time, sanity, and energy cost $0.
And if youâre chasing the AI-hype blindly, youâre just building your business inside someone elseâs dream.
Iâm not here to sell you anything. Just sharing some real talk after mentoring a few folks who felt misled by those "fast money" narratives.
Iâll cover the actual agency foundations and AI-market truths in my next post (if the admin gods allow it đ)
Until then:
