It is a niche where businesses lose hours every day manually screening CVs and will happily pay thousands to get that time back.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">If you&#39;ve been wondering <b>whether recruitment is a niche worth targeting</b>, this issue will give you the answer.</p><div class="image"><a class="image__link" href="https://pickaxe.co/?utm_campaign=AFFILIATE_7ECT3RM" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="image__image" style="" src="https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/a42f69cb-78f9-4afa-af9a-9736272cb2a4/Twitter_Ad_1600x400_px__1_.jpeg?t=1784785307"/></a><div class="image__source"><span class="image__source_text"><p><a class="link" href="https://pickaxe.co/?utm_campaign=AFFILIATE_7ECT3RM" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><i><b>No-code AI tool builder</b></i></a></p></span></div></div><h1 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="target-market-recruitment-agencies">🎯 Target Market: Recruitment Agencies</h1><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="the-costly-friction-point">The Costly Friction Point:</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Recruitment agencies don&#39;t get paid for reading CVs.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">They get paid for making successful placements.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Yet recruiters spend hours every day manually reviewing CVs, comparing candidates against job descriptions, writing interview notes, and deciding who deserves a first interview.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">When hundreds of applications arrive for a single role, valuable candidates can be missed simply because there aren&#39;t enough hours in the day.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The problem isn&#39;t finding applicants.

Most of the work involves connecting existing tools rather than writing complex code.)</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>The Catch:</b> AI should assist recruiters, not replace them.

The goal is to solve one expensive business problem that owners are happy to pay to fix.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">So far, we&#39;ve looked at SaaS & Startups and Med Spas.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This week, we&#39;re moving into one of the biggest opportunities for beginners: <b>Home Service Businesses. </b>TThink high-ticket businesses like electricians, garage door companies, locksmiths and pest control companies.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The gurus will say plumbers, HVAC and roofers. I am saying these are saturated, stay away.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Let&#39;s get into it.</p><hr class="content_break"><h1 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="target-market-home-service-business">🎯 Target Market: Home Service Businesses</h1><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="the-costly-friction-point">The Costly Friction Point:</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Imagine a homeowner discovers a burst pipe at 9:30pm. They search Google and call the first plumber they find.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">No answer.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">They leave a voicemail.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Then they call the next plumber.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>That second business gets the job.</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">For home service businesses, every missed call can mean losing a customer worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars. During evenings, weekends and busy working days, missed calls happen constantly because business owners are on-site doing the work they&#39;re paid for.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The problem isn&#39;t generating leads.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">It&#39;s being available when those leads are ready to buy.</p><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="the-scalable-solution">The Scalable Solution:</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Build an <b>AI Voice Receptionist</b> that answers every call 24/7, qualifies the customer, answers common questions, captures key job details and books appointments directly into the business calendar.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Instead of sending callers to voicemail, the business has a professional receptionist available every minute of every day.</p><hr class="content_break"><h1 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="why-this-problem-is-worth-solving">💰 Why This Problem Is Worth Solving</h1><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Home service businesses don&#39;t need hundreds of new customers.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">They just need to stop losing the ones they&#39;re already attracting.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">One garage door job could be worth $300.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">A new pest control contract might be worth $3,000 a year.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Recovering just one or two jobs each month often covers the cost of your service many times over.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">You&#39;re not selling an AI phone system.

Adjust these numbers based on the LTV of the customers you are bringing in. If your service doesn&#39;t make the business money, they won&#39;t buy it.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">💡 <b>Pro Tip:</b> Don&#39;t sell an AI receptionist.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Sell <b>&quot;Never miss another customer again.&quot;</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">That&#39;s the outcome every business owner understands instantly.</p><hr class="content_break"><h1 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="weekend-challenge-the-missed-call-t">💸 Weekend Challenge: The Missed Call Test</h1><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Choose <b>five local home service businesses</b>.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This could include decking or patio installation, basement waterproofing, hardscaping, tree removal, EV installation or locksmiths..</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">For each business:</p><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Call outside normal business hours.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Record whether someone answers or the call goes to voicemail.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Check if they offer online booking.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Read their latest Google reviews and look for complaints about communication or responsiveness.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Make notes on how an AI receptionist could improve their customer experience.</p></li></ul><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Don&#39;t try to sell anything.

</style><div class='beehiiv__body'><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Dear Builders,</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Welcome back to <b>The 2026 Niche Playbook.</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Each week, we&#39;re breaking down one of the best industries to target with AI automation in 2026. No vague ideas. No &quot;build an AI agent and hope someone buys it.&quot; Just practical offers, realistic pricing, and a simple strategy you can use to land your first clients.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This week, we&#39;re stepping into one of the most profitable local business niches around: <b>Med Spas.</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Let&#39;s get into it.</p><hr class="content_break"><h1 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="target-market-med-spas">🎯 Target Market: Med Spas</h1><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="the-costly-friction-point">The Costly Friction Point:</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Every med spa spends money generating leads.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Potential clients enquire about Botox, fillers, laser treatments, or skin consultations. They complete a form, send a message on Instagram, or request a callback.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Then... nothing.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The receptionist gets busy.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The lead goes cold.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The enquiry sits untouched in the CRM.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Many clinics have hundreds of these &quot;dead&quot; leads, representing thousands of pounds in lost revenue. They&#39;re not struggling to generate interest, they&#39;re struggling to consistently follow up.</p><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="the-scalable-solution">The Scalable Solution:</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Build an <b>AI-powered lead reactivation system</b> that automatically follows up with old enquiries via SMS, answers common questions, handles simple objections, and encourages people to book an appointment.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Every conversation is logged back into the CRM, giving the clinic a second chance to convert leads they&#39;ve already paid to acquire.</p><hr class="content_break"><h1 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="why-this-problem-is-worth-solving">💰 Why This Problem Is Worth Solving</h1><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Med spas have one huge advantage: <b>high customer lifetime value.</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Someone booking a single treatment today often returns multiple times throughout the year and may purchase additional treatments in the future.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">That means recovering just a handful of old leads every month can generate thousands in additional revenue.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">You&#39;re not selling AI. You&#39;re helping them recover money they were already losing.</p><hr class="content_break"><h1 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="complexity-reality-check">📊 Complexity & Reality Check</h1><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">🌊🌊 (2/5 — A beginner-friendly automation built almost entirely with low-code tools like GoHighLevel, <a class="link" href="http://Make.com?utm_source=theautomationexchange.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=issue-65-when-this-niche-get-s-paid-you-get-paid" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Make.com</a> or n8n, ChatGPT or Claude, and Twilio.). You don’t have to build from scratch, there are templates already online that you can download for free and adapt to your needs to get you started.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>The Catch:</b> Success depends far more on writing natural follow-up conversations than building the automation itself. Poorly written messages feel robotic and get ignored, while conversational, personalised follow-ups dramatically increase booking rates.</p><hr class="content_break"><h1 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="how-to-position-and-price-to-get-th">💰 How to Position and Price to Get the Sale</h1><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="the-business-math">The Business Math:</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Unlike many local businesses, med spas already understand the value of marketing. They know every empty appointment slot costs them money. Your ideal decision maker is the <b>Practice Owner</b> or <b>Clinic Manager</b> who is in charge of keeping treatment rooms fully booked.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">If your automation helps recover just a few appointments each month, it can easily pay for itself.</p><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="the-pilot-offer-50-lead-reactivatio">The Pilot Offer: 50-Lead Reactivation Challenge</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Don&#39;t ask them to buy your system. Instead, remove the risk.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Offer to reactivate their last <b>50 unbooked leads</b> completely free. If you don’t think you can do 50 then offer 20, the number is not the most important part.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">If nobody books an appointment, they owe you nothing.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">If your AI fills even a handful of empty slots, you&#39;ve created proof that your system works before asking them to become a paying client. The most important part is turning the system off after 14-30 days and the client see the additional bookings stop.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">💵 <b>Charge:</b> £1,000–£2,500 setup, plus £500–£750/month for ongoing management and optimisation.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">💡 <b>Pro Tip:</b> Don&#39;t sell &quot;AI automation.&quot;, sell more customers through the door cheaper than the Facebook Ads they are running. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Business owners don&#39;t care how the messages are sent, they care that appointments appear in the calendar.</p><hr class="content_break"><h1 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="weekend-challenge-the-50-lead-audit">💸 Weekend Challenge: The 50-Lead Audit</h1><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Find <b>five med spas</b> in your local area.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">For each one:</p><ul><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Visit their website and submit a test enquiry.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Check how quickly they respond.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Look for online booking, live chat, or SMS follow-up.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Read their Google reviews and spot complaints about communication or slow responses.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Write down one place where an automated follow-up could improve the customer experience.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>PRO TIP:</b> Use the Facebook ads library to find med spas currently running ads, these have money to spend!</p></li></ul><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Don&#39;t pitch anything yet.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Send businesses proof you can help them get more calls, set up a demo and send them a loom video of it in action, no fluff, no empty promises, actually proof you can do what you say you can do.</p><hr class="content_break"><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Next week, we&#39;ll move into another high-value niche where businesses lose thousands simply because they can&#39;t respond quickly enough: <b>Home Service Businesses.</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Kate</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#08AEFB;"><b>Code less, Build More</b></span></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>P.S.</b> Reading these blueprints won&#39;t get you paid.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Taking action will.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">If you want daily accountability, proven outreach templates, and a step-by-step framework to help you land your first AI automation clients, keep an eye on your inbox.

</style><div class='beehiiv__body'><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Dear Builders,</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Welcome to Part 1 of our new mini series: <b>The 2026 Niche Playbook</b>.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Over the next 12 issues, we are stripping away the theory. We are breaking down the absolute best industries to target right now giving you the blueprint to execute and get your first clients, the software tools to use, and realistic pricing hooks to help you finally lock down the perfect niche.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This week: We crack open <b>SaaS & Startups</b>.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Let’s get into it.</p><hr class="content_break"><h1 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="target-market-saa-s-startups">🎯 Target Market: SaaS & Startups</h1><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>The Costly Friction Point:</b><br>Hiring real actors, writing scripts, and waiting for manual video editors is incredibly slow and expensive. Founders burn thousands trying to scale fresh visual ads or show off new feature drops.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>The Scalable Solution:</b><br>A beginner friendly AI avatar pipeline. You take their product text and programmatically map it to lifelike avatars, automatically generating captioned short form video assets ready to post.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">📊<b> Complexity & Reality Check</b><br>🌊🌊 (2/5 — Fulfill this 100% using beginner friendly visual web tools like Heygen, Nanobanana, Higgsfield, or Seedance. No complex database management or corporate compliance loops.)</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><i>The Catch:</i> While the technical implementation is simple, software founders can be notoriously critical of exact brand aesthetics and microscopic rendering artifacts. Be ready to spend extra time dialing in visual quality.</p><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="how-to-position-and-price-to-get-th">💰 How to Position and Price To Get The Sale</h2><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>The Business Math:</b> SaaS businesses run on high Customer Lifetime Values (LTV). Because they scale fast, they protect strong marketing budgets. Your main target is the Marketing Director or Growth Manageras this is the person whose job depends directly on scaling visual variations to lower acquisition costs. With early start ups this could still be the founder.</p><div class="recommendation"><figure class="recommendation__logo"><img alt="TipSeason AI Trends" src="https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/publication/logo/07ffa31a-6b0a-4f19-85b6-fb0d4371b536/2.png"/></figure><h3 class="recommendation__title"> TipSeason AI Trends </h3><p class="recommendation__description"> Trending AI News, Tools, Prompts for ChatGPT, Midjourney and more.

style="text-align:left;"><b>What It Does:</b><br>MarketingSkills is a massive collection of specialised AI marketing skills built for Claude Code and other coding agents.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Instead of giving Claude generic marketing prompts, these skills give it structured workflows and frameworks for specific marketing tasks.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The repo includes skills for:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">CRO<br>Copywriting<br>SEO<br>AI SEO<br>Cold email<br>Analytics<br>Ads<br>Pricing<br>Lead

style="text-align:left;">The really smart part is that all the skills work together through a shared product-marketing context file.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">That means your AI agent slowly learns:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Your product<br>Your positioning<br>Your audience<br>Your language<br>Your offers</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">So the outputs become more consistent over time instead of feeling random every session.</p><div class="image"><img alt="" class="image__image" style=""

class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>How it works in one line:</b><br>Install the repo → Claude detects marketing tasks automatically → Specialized skills activate → AI executes marketing workflows with context.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Why It’s Incredible:</b><br>Most people are still using AI like a chatbot.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This turns AI into a systems-level marketing operator.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Instead of saying:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">“Write me some copy…”</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">You now have dedicated frameworks for:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Landing page

</style><div class='beehiiv__body'><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Dear Builders,</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">There are over 15 million adults diagnosed with ADHD in the US alone.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">You do not need millions of customers.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>If you sold this skill for $49 on Gumroad, you would only need around 10 sales a month to create an extra $500 income stream.</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>If you packaged it as a setup service at $500?</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>You only need 2 people per month to say yes.</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">That is the opportunity with AI skills.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Tiny audiences.<br>Real problems.<br>Fast solutions.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Let’s get into it.</p><hr class="content_break"><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="skill-of-the-week">🧠 Skill of the Week</h2><p id="who-built-it-aicc" class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Who Built It:</b> AICC</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>What It Does:</b><br>This is an ADHD-focused Claude skill that turns AI into a persistent second brain.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">It stores open loops, remembers unfinished tasks, reconstructs context after interruptions, and helps users recover forgotten commitments — all using natural language.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">No rigid dashboards.<br>No complicated setup.<br>No “productivity guru” nonsense.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Just a system designed around how ADHD brains actually operate.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The skill runs across six modes:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Daily Check-In</b><br>Triggered by: “check in”<br>Shows open loops, waiting items, and the single next action.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Brain Dump</b><br>Triggered by: “brain dump”<br>Lets users offload messy thoughts without organising first.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Recovery Mode</b><br>Triggered by: “I forgot”<br>Searches history and commitments to recover lost context.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Triage Mode</b><br>Triggered by: “I can’t focus”<br>Reduces everything down to one next action.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Continuity Mode</b><br>Triggered by: “where was I”<br>Rebuilds working context after interruptions.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Weekly Review</b><br>Surfaces unresolved tasks and forces decisions on stale loops.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>How it works in one line:</b><br>User speaks naturally → Claude updates persistent operations file → Context and commitments stay alive across sessions → AI surfaces what matters when needed.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Why It’s Incredible:</b><br>Most productivity systems expect consistency.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This system expects interruption.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">That changes everything.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Instead of punishing distraction, it compensates for it.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">And because the outputs stay structured and familiar, the brain learns how to scan them quickly without extra mental load.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This is not “AI productivity.”</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">It is cognitive infrastructure.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Key Advantages:</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">🧠 Persistent memory across sessions<br>📂 Captures open loops automatically<br>⚡ Reduces overwhelm with single-action triage<br>🔄

</style><div class='beehiiv__body'><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Dear Builders,</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">I am back this week for those that saw my last email, slightly heavier from all the gelato but made some amazing memories and my SaaS tool audience grew while I was away on autopilot so lots to be thankful for. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Now, let’s 10x your Claude Powers!</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Most people read books and move on. Some take notes and try to apply what they learn, but very few actually turn that knowledge into something they can reuse consistently. This week is about changing that. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>What if Alex Hormozi was inside Claude helping you build your business?</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Instead of just consuming content by the people you want to emulate, you are going to turn it into something practical that you can use again and again inside your workflows.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Even better, don’t understand your clients zone of genius? Train Claude and you don’t ever need too.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Let’s get into it.</p><hr class="content_break"><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="workflow-of-the-week">🧠 Workflow of the Week</h2><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>What It Does:</b><br>This method shows you how to turn books, PDFs, and expert content into <b>usable skill files</b> inside Claude. These are not summaries or highlights. They are structured capabilities. Instead of trying to remember what an expert like Gary Vee said, you can access and apply their thinking whenever you need it, whether that is for your own projects or for client work.</p><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="step-1-set-the-goal-first">Step 1: Set the Goal First</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Before you upload anything, you need to be clear on what you are trying to achieve.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This could be <b>building a landing page, improving outreach, creating ad creatives, or increasing conversions for a client</b>. Once you have that, upload your book or PDF into Claude and ask it to scan the material and identify the sections most relevant to your goal.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This step ensures Claude is working from targeted expert insight rather than relying on generic knowledge.</p><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="step-2-generate-micro-skill-ideas">Step 2: Generate <i>Micro </i>Skill Ideas</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Next, ask Claude to <b>generate skill ideas based on the material</b>, but make sure you explicitly ask for “<b>simple</b>” ideas. This matters more than it sounds. Without that constraint, the output tends to become overly complex and much harder to reuse. You want micro, focused, practical skills that can be applied across different situations, not large systems that are difficult to maintain.</p><div class="image"><img alt="" class="image__image" style="" src="https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/cbaefc7c-db3a-4478-93c4-b58a51ad7689/unnamed__14_.png?t=1776367954"/></div><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="step-3-spin-up-sub-agents">Step 3: Spin Up Sub-Agents</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Once you have a list of ideas you like, <b>ask Claude to spin up sub-agents</b> to build each one. This allows each skill to be developed independently, which leads to cleaner outputs and faster progress. Instead of working through everything step by step, you are effectively building multiple assets in parallel.</p><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="step-4-convert-to-skill-files">Step 4: Convert to Skill Files</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">From there, Claude will take the structured insights and <b>convert them into skill files</b>. These act like small, reusable tools that you can call on whenever you need them. Rather than going back to the source material each time, you are now working with something that has already been distilled and organised for action.</p><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="step-5-rinse-and-repeat">Step 5: Rinse and Repeat</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This is where the long-term value builds. As you repeat the process with different books and sources, you can start removing weaker skills and combining stronger ones. Over time, you end up with a<b> tailored library that reflects the best thinking from multiple experts, adapted to your specific needs.</b></p><h3 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="why-its-incredible">Why It’s Incredible</h3><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Most people collect information, but that does not create much leverage on its own. This method turns knowledge into something you can actually use.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">📊<b> Difficulty Rating</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">🌊🌊🌊 (3/5 — Requires clear prompting and iteration, but no coding.)</p><hr class="content_break"><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="get-the-bag-how-this-makes-money">💰 Get The Bag: How This Makes Money</h2><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>1) Expert Systems for Clients</b><br>You can turn industry knowledge into tailored skill stacks that help businesses solve specific problems more efficiently.<br>💵 Charge: $1,000 to $5,000 per build<br>💡 Pro Tip: Position this as building a custom internal AI system.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>2) Niche Knowledge Products</b><br>You can package curated skill libraries for specific industries or outcomes and sell them as focused resources.<br>💵 Charge: $50 to $300 per bundle<br>💡 Pro Tip: Focus on the outcome the buyer wants, not the information itself.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>3) Done-For-You Workflows</b><br>By using expert-derived skills, you can deliver higher-quality outputs more quickly for your clients.<br>💵 Charge: $2,000+ per client<br>💡 Pro Tip: Your advantage is speed combined with depth of insight.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><i><b>Remember to check the copyright of any sources you are using before you start selling.</b></i></p><hr class="content_break"><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="weekend-challenge-start-outreach-no">💸 Weekend Challenge: Start Outreach Now</h2><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Challenge:</b><br>Take one book or PDF that is directly related to a valuable business outcome, such as marketing, sales, copywriting, or conversion.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Use this method to turn it into two or three simple, practical skills that you can demonstrate.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Do not overbuild.

</style><div class='beehiiv__body'><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Dear Builders,</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">We’ve all been there. You ask Claude to build a landing page and it hands you something that looks like a generic bootstrap template from 2014.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The code works but the soul is missing. It’s gray, it’s cramped, and it screams that it was generated by a machine.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This week’s feature is the secret weapon for moving from functional to high-end.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Let’s dive in.</p><hr class="content_break"><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="workflow-of-the-week">🧠 Workflow of the Week</h2><p id="who-built-it-leon-lin" class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Who Built It: </b>Leon Lin</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>What It Does: </b>The <b>Taste Skill (taste-skill)</b> is actually a powerhouse suite of six specialized meta-skills designed to inject visual DNA into Claude. It stops the AI from being lazy and forces it to adhere to modern, high-end design principles. This covers everything from typography to spring-based animations.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>The suite includes: </b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">🎨 <b>Taste-Skill:</b> The flagship. Teaches Claude layout, motion, and color theory. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">🛠️ <b>Redesign-Skill:</b> Audits your existing ugly UI and fixes the biggest eye-sores first. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">💎 <b>Soft-Skill:</b> The expensive filter. Big whitespace, layered depth, and floating navs. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">🚫 <b>Output-Skill:</b> The Taskmaster. Bans placeholder comments and half-finished code blocks. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">📖 <b>Minimalist-Skill:</b> The Linear/Notion vibe. Clean grids and warm monochrome. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">📟 <b>Brutalist-Skill:</b> The declassified blueprint look. Rigid grids and CRT aesthetics.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Why It’s Incredible:</b><br>By installing these, you are essentially giving Claude a degree from a top-tier design school.

</style><div class='beehiiv__body'><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Dear Builders,</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">A few months ago there were a handful of useful skills for Claude Code and Antigravity. All the ones I needed I had to build from scratch. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Now there are thousands.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The problem is no longer <i>building capability</i>. The problem is <b>finding the right skill</b>.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This week’s feature is the closest thing we have to:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>One skill to rule them all. (reply with the film reference for extra points)</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Let’s get into it.</p><div class="image"><img alt="Lord Of The Rings GIF" class="image__image" style="" src="https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTI0NTBlYzMwbW1lM3F4dHA3dTJybnR3a241NmJiajA5Y3ludWF3NTloZzV5aXpvYiZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/XgE4LlECZjw6k/giphy.gif"/></div><hr class="content_break"><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="s-kill-of-the-week">🧠 SKill of the Week</h2><p id="who-built-it-vercel-labs" class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Who Built It:</b> Vercel Labs</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>What It Does:</b><br>The <b>Find Skill (find-skills)</b> is a meta skill that helps you discover and install other Claude Code skills directly from the terminal. With <b>400,000+ installs</b>, it has quickly become the entry point to the entire ecosystem. Instead of searching registries or Googling around, you can simply ask Claude for the tool you need.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">For example:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">“Find me a skill for code review.”<br>“Find a skill for Obsidian.”<br>“Find a skill for Canva design.”</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Claude searches the registry, previews the best option, and installs it for you. All without leaving the terminal.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">You can:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Search the entire skills registry<br>Preview tools before installing<br>Install skills instantly<br>Add them globally so they work across projects</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Why It’s Incredible: </b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">There are now <b>60,000+ Claude Code skills</b>.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">No one can keep up with that manually. This skill turns discovery into a prompt.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Starting a new project?</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Instead of researching tools for an hour, just ask Claude. It will likely find something someone has already built. Less searching.

class="content_break"><h2 class="heading" style="text-align:left;" id="skill-of-the-week">🧠 Skill of the Week</h2><p id="who-built-it-unknown" class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Who Built It:</b> Unknown</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>What It Does:</b><br>This workflow creates viral-style AI shorts that you can use to create the pool or house building shorts mentioned above.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">You generate two images:</p><ol start="1"><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">A detailed scene with a finished house.</p></li><li><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">The same scene with the house removed.</p></li></ol><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Then you turn those frames into a realistic AI construction animation.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">No 3D modelling.<br>No manual animation.<br>No construction footage required.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">You can:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Generate hyper-detailed environments<br>Remove structures cleanly using AI editing<br>Create realistic “build from nothing” animations<br>Batch produce vertical shorts<br>Replicate the format consistently</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>How it works in one line:</b><br>Scene with no house → Scene with house → AI frame-to-video generation → Construction timelapse short.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Why It’s Incredible:</b><br>This format performs.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">People love transformation content.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Empty land → Finished house.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">It triggers curiosity.<br>It loops well.<br>It works in vertical.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">And it is simple.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Two images.<br>One video generation step.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">If posted consistently, these can:</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Grow a Shorts channel<br>Drive affiliate links<br>Attract brand deals<br>Sell digital products<br>Sell automation services to builders and real estate developers</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This is not magic.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">It is format + consistency.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Key Advantages:</b></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">This is simple, I can build sample videos and send them out to home service businesses like garden room builders, swimming pool companies and even those doing remodelling, extensions and conservatories while starting my own viral channel on the side if I wish. </p><div class="recommendation"><figure
