Introduction

There are over 36 million small businesses in the US alone, and nearly 12 million of them don't have a website or have one that looks like it was built in 2003. You can fill that gap by building business websites with no experience and sell them for $500 plus. So, today I'm going to show you how to find these businesses, how to build an AI website for them they'll actually pay for, and how to scale this into a consistent income stream. Let's go. All

How to pick a niche and micro market for your AI website business

right, selling websites to small businesses is not complicated at all. To save confusion and frustration down the line, you first need to pick one niche and one geographic area. So, pick a niche that's local and brings in some money. I'm talking about roofers, med spas, HVAC companies, cleaning services, personal injury lawyers, real estate agents, landscapers, etc. These are cash flow businesses, and they understand that a better website means more booked appointments. Also, when you niche down, your outreach becomes more personal. Your websites are faster to build, and clients start referring you to others. Next, pick your area. A good place to start is your own city or a nearby metro area. All right, once you

How to find clients on Google Maps and build a lead list

know your niche and your city, build your lead list. This is so simple, it's actually exciting. Let me show you. You just have to open Google Maps, type in roofing companies in St. Louis or whatever your niche and city are, and scroll through the results. You're going to see a mix of various options. Some businesses with slick websites, some with websites that look like they were last updated before the world ended in 2012, and some with no website at all. Those are your opportunities, and trust me, there are hundreds of them in every city. You're definitely going to find them. And when you find a business that fits your search, log it in a spreadsheet like this one. You'll want to add important details like business name, phone number, email, website status, etc. I've left it as a downloadable in the description just for you. So, make sure you grab it. Do this for 20 minutes a day and you'll have 15 to 20 solid leads in just a few days. And AI can automate this. I'll explain how at the end of this video, so make sure you keep watching. All right, you've got your lead list. Now you need

How to build a free website mockup with AI

to show these businesses what you can do for them. And the way to do that is with a free mock-up. Now for this, you're going to use an AI website builder or vibe coding tool to create a new specific template in just less than an hour. There's so many options out there, but I'm going to recommend Hostinger Horizons because it's beginner-friendly, plus it gives you everything in one place. Domain, hosting, business email, and built-in marketing tools. You can also integrate services like Google AdSense or automation tools like Any and AI is already built into the platform for you. So, you can also create some pretty cool AI-powered stuff without having to connect any third-party tool. I'll drop a link in the description, plus a little discount code for when you start building. So, in your prompt, make sure to include these parts. Your business type, the goal of the site, and the vibe you're going for. If you've seen a website you've loved, you can also upload a screenshot to Horizons directly and have it improve the design while keeping all the original functionalities. And if you know the brands' colors or fonts from their logo, make sure you're including them in your prompt tool. The AI will generate a full layout with pages, text, and images, and you'll just need to refine it with more prompts or a few manual edits. But, don't spend too much time on this. It's a template after all. Now, that being said, if you want to monetize your template, you can do it inside of Horizons, just like this. You'll earn 20% commission whenever someone you refer signs up and buys their first plan. Now, once you have your AI website template, duplicate it. The copy will be the version you'll be editing when you start getting real clients. Now, you'll want to swap out the placeholder business name with the actual business you're pitching it to, their phone number, of course, swap in a photo of their storefront or team if you can find one on their Google profile, and add a big and clear call to action button. Something like a book a free estimate or schedule your consultation. You'll want them to see their business on that screen and think, "Wow, this is exactly what I need. " Now, personalization is everything here. You want the site to feel like it was made for that business. So, make sure you refine your prompts a little bit to match their brand. You can also create more pages like a simple contact form, a services page, and a review section that pulls from Google reviews. But again, try to keep it simple. And since you're going to be working with businesses that need payments, it's super convenient hosting or supports over 100 payment methods with no extra fees, including Stripe and PayPal. So, once you're ready to turn your mock-up into a real website, you can do so easily. So, when

How to draft an outreach script for your AI website business

your mock-up is ready, start reaching out to the businesses in the spreadsheet we mentioned before to sell them your AI website. Now, cold calling or emailing local businesses is generally legal in most places, but check your local regulations just to be sure. And when you get into it, don't make wild promises, don't impersonate anyone, and always give people an easy way to opt out. All right, let me show you the framework I use for the outreach with a super quick example. First, compliment or make an observation about their business. — Hey Mr. Gordon, I came across St. Louis Family Roofers while searching for local roofers in St. Louis. Second, identify the opportunity for them. Something like I noticed your Google profile gets great reviews, but your website doesn't have an online quote request form, which means you're probably losing leads to competitors who do. Third, offer a free preview. I actually put together a quick mock-up redesign to show how you could capture more of those inquiries. And fourth, ask permission to send it. Would it be okay if I send it over? Thank you. Keep it short, friendly, and valuable. And don't sound desperate to sell. Most likely you won't hear back in 48 hours, so send a follow-up. Something like, "Hey Mr. Gordon, just wanted to bump this up in case it got buried. Let me know if you have any questions about my last email. I'd be happy to send you a short video walk-through of the mock-up I built. Thank you. " If they reply, what I do is record a quick screen share or selfie style video walking through the mock-up. Now, be smart about this and point out the features you know they'll love. And here's an extra tip, send your outreach in the morning because most business owners check messages between 7:00 and 9:00 a. m. before things get too busy.

How to price your AI website services

All right, so in the beginning of the video, I've told you that you can charge anywhere from $500 to $3,000 per site, but the final price will depend on the value you're providing. So, before you even mention a price, make sure you're value stacking. At the end of the day, you're not only offering a website, but a whole service that includes a custom website built with AI, hosting and domain setup, ongoing maintenance and updates, AI chatbot or booking automation, review request automation, and monthly analytics report so they see what's working. So, when you get to pricing your work, make sure you're taking all this work into account. And for pricing, I always recommend following either of these two models. Option one includes website setup and a monthly retainer fee. For example, you could charge $1,500 to $3,000 up front for the build and then $200 to $500 per month for hosting, updates, and support. Option two would be not charging any upfront costs and charging a higher monthly fee, something between $300 to $700 per month for everything. Option two can be very convenient for small and growing businesses because they don't have to worry about having to spend any money upfront. And for you, it's still great because actually you're making much more in the long run. Web coding tools and AI website builders are cheap compared to what you're changing. Hosting your Horizon starter plan, for example, is just $13 a month, and that includes 17 monthly AI credits, up to 25 websites, plus a free domain for a year. So, if you're wondering whether your potential clients will realize this, remember that they not only want a website, but someone who knows what works, who can troubleshoot, and who can make updates fast. So, let's say you've

How to scale your AI website business

landed your first client. So, how do you turn them into consistent 5K, 10K, even 15K months? The secret is building a system that allows you to be consistent. The way I would do it is I'd aim to get 20 new prospects added to my lead sheet, send five outreach messages, and two follow-ups to previous leads, and aim for just one closed deal every single week. If you close one client per week and charge around, well, let's say $2,000 on average, you'll be making around $8,000 a month, and two clients would be 16K, not bad at all. The good news is you can automate a big part of this process with AI. For example, you can create an end-to-end workflow and connect it with Hostinger Horizons to automate everything from collecting leads to generating outreach to sending and managing follow-ups, all of that good stuff. Now, end-to-end might sound a bit technical, so I've left a few tutorials in the description to help you with the setup. Then, start tapping into the referral flywheel. After you delivered your first three websites in the same niche, start asking your clients if they know anyone else in their network who might need help with their online presence. Local business owners talk to each other all the time, so one happy client can easily send you two or even three more. And since you're niche down, those referrals already trust you because their friend vouched for you. So, you really don't have to be a developer or have a huge audience to sell AI websites to small businesses. You just need to show up consistently and treat this like a real business. And don't overcomplicate the tech. Use Hostinger to keep your domain, hosting, and AI websites in one place. And this coupon code on screen to get 10% off when you start building.
