Chris Koerner explains how to build a service business helping small business owners monetize dormant email lists using AI tools, charging $1,000 a month per client.
The gist
-
The model charges $1,000 a month per client and aims to generate $12,000 or more in new recurring revenue for them, a roughly 12x return.
-
Connect Beehive's MCP to Claude by pasting one URL into settings, then prompt the AI to segment subscribers and send targeted campaigns automatically.
-
Find 10 to 20 subscribers with the highest open and click rates, then call them personally to seed the community before a broader launch.
-
Koerner says to lead with a newsletter first, since the best moment to invite someone into a community is right after they subscribe, not later.
