START HERE
You have two options. Pick one and do not read anything else first.
Option A — "I have 60 minutes right now"
| Minute | Do this | Open |
|---|---|---|
| 0–10 | Read the fundamentals summary and the 8 beginner mistakes | 01-FOUNDATIONS/01-Agency-Fundamentals.md → sections 1, 3, 9 |
| 10–25 | Score three niches you already have contact with | 02-NICHE/02-Niche-Selection-System.md → the scoring framework, then Niche-Scorecard.csv |
| 25–40 | Read the two core automations that fit your top niche | 04-AUTOMATIONS/ → start with 04-01 (lead qualifier) and 04-05 (review requests) |
| 40–55 | Import one workflow into n8n and run the test procedure | 05-N8N-WORKFLOWS/README-Import-And-Setup.md then W01-Lead-Qualifier-And-Router.json |
| 55–60 | Open the 30-day plan and block Day 1 in your calendar | 15-30-DAY-PLAN/15-30-Day-Launch-Plan.md |
At the end of the hour you will have: a shortlisted niche, one working automation in your own n8n, and tomorrow's task.
Option B — "I want to launch properly"
Follow the 30-day plan. It sequences every module in the order you need it and tells you which file to open each day. Total effort: roughly 2–4 hours per day for 30 days, or spread across 8 weeks part-time.
The seven steps, and where each one lives
1. LEARN — understand what you are selling and how it is built.
01-FOUNDATIONS (what an agency is, business models, what clients pay for) · 19-ARCHITECTURE (how every automation is structured) · 18-TOOLS (what to use).
2. CHOOSE — pick a niche and the 2–3 services you will lead with.
02-NICHE (score objectively) · 03-SERVICES (30 services with pricing ranges and demo ideas).
3. BUILD — get working demos.
04-AUTOMATIONS (blueprints A→N) · 05-N8N-WORKFLOWS (import, configure, test) · 06-PROMPT-LIBRARY (the prompts inside the workflows and for your own work).
4. PACKAGE — turn automations into offers with prices.
08-OFFERS (formulas + 10 complete offers) · 09-PRICING (cost, markup, margin, calculators).
5. SELL — get conversations and close.
07-SALES (outreach, calls, qualification, follow-up) · 16-DEMO-SYSTEMS (what to show and say).
6. DELIVER — onboard, build, test, hand over, without chaos.
10-CLIENT-ONBOARDING · 11-DELIVERY · 12-TEMPLATES · 13-OPERATIONS · 20-SECURITY · 17-TROUBLESHOOTING.
7. RETAIN — turn projects into monthly revenue.
14-RETENTION.
Difficulty tags used everywhere
- EASY — no code, one or two tools, under 2 hours to set up with this kit.
- INTERMEDIATE — several tools, an API credential or a webhook, half a day to a day.
- ADVANCED — custom logic, multiple integrations, a client system you must learn first. Do these after you have delivered two EASY projects.
What to skip at first
Skip 13-OPERATIONS and 14-RETENTION until you have your first paying client. Skip the ADVANCED automations until you have delivered two EASY ones. Skip the Bonuses until Week 3 of the plan, except B8 (first 10 clients), which you read on Day 15.
