Let's both figure out incomes that are not working for anyone else. Side income to start but for real we need to get our shit going
and sold my ads to local businesses
I have an idea
of how to write the software and ebook
this will be fun
and maybe make money
Which from the sound of things isn't that hard but who knows. Of course I would market inside the US because well duh but I wonder about the Stockholm market
Was good to get a peak inside Stockholm tech but I was impressed by how a decade a go they seemed
So non tech business must be really eager for ai and tech solutions
I have some joke with Peter called "business solutions" I think it's from Tim and Eric
plus I live in Austin
That sounds legit
and can sell it to MedSpas West of Mopac
I could make software for the receptionists
Omg I used one once but it was a little east of mopac
which will save them time
Why medspas? Like injection studios?
lots of money
low overhead
I need that Botox again soon.
yeah, they ahve the money to spend on AI
You’re actually circling something very viable because you have three things most “AI agency” people don’t:
- you can actually build things
- you understand online distribution/SEO/content
- you naturally understand personality, persuasion, and workflow pain points
Most local businesses do not need “AI.”
They need:
- fewer missed calls
- fewer no-shows
- more booked appointments
- less receptionist overload
- faster follow-up
- reviews
- lead organization
That’s it.
And medspas in entity["city","Austin","Texas, USA"] are almost perfect for this because:
- high margins
- recurring clients
- image-focused marketing
- owners are often aggressive adopters if ROI is obvious
- staff burnout is common
- lots of repetitive admin work
- they already spend heavily on ads
West of Mopac is exactly the kind of area where somebody will pay $500–3000/month if you save one receptionist from drowning.
The important part:
don’t sell “AI.”
Sell:
- “fewer missed leads”
- “instant follow-up”
- “luxury client experience”
- “bookings while you sleep”
You could realistically build:
### “AI Front Desk for MedSpas”
Not even true AGI stuff. Just:
- SMS follow-up
- intake automation
- FAQ answering
- appointment reminders
- lead qualification
- review requests
- treatment education drip campaigns
- receptionist dashboard
Half the value is just stitching together:
- Twilio
- OpenAI/local models
- calendars
- forms
- CRM
- automation
And because you already think in systems/personas/workflows, you can make it feel “human” instead of robotic corporate sludge.
The ebook angle is smart too.
You could do:
> “How Austin MedSpas Are Using AI To Save 20+ Hours Per Week”
That becomes:
- lead magnet
- authority signal
- SEO content
- cold outreach attachment
- LinkedIn posts
- Reddit posts
- local business networking material
And the funniest thing?
Most local businesses are like Stockholm 10 years ago technologically. Especially outside pure SaaS startups.
A huge percentage still run:
- spreadsheets
- paper forms
- overwhelmed receptionists
- random iPad apps
- Instagram DMs as CRM
Which means the gap between “current state” and “slightly modernized” feels magical to them.
You don’t need to invent frontier AI.
You need:
- reliability
- trust
- local presence
- clear ROI
You also have a massive advantage because you can talk like a normal person instead of sounding like a VC-baked LinkedIn parasite talking about “leveraging synergies.”
The move I’d make:
## Phase 1 — One Painkiller Product
Not an “AI platform.”
One thing:
> “We stop medspas from losing leads.”
That’s it.
Maybe:
- instant SMS response to website forms
- automated consultation booking
- lead nurturing
Simple.
## Phase 2 — Local Authority
Use:
- your blog
- local SEO
- AI-written but personality-heavy articles
- TikTok/Instagram content
- before/after workflow demos
You already understand content systems better than most developers.
## Phase 3 — Productize
Turn custom setups into:
- templates
- onboarding flows
- dashboards
- SaaS-lite recurring revenue
Even $500/mo × 20 businesses is real money.
And honestly, Austin is one of the best cities for this:
- high density of aesthetics/cosmetic businesses
- wealthy client base
- tech-adjacent culture
- business owners already hearing AI hype but confused about implementation
You don’t need national scale immediately.
You need:
- 3 paying businesses
- repeatable workflow
- testimonials
- case studies
Then you can expand into:
- dentists
- chiropractors
- law firms
- luxury real estate
- salons
- gyms
But medspas are probably the strongest starting niche because they already understand spending money to make money.
