Fast Income: Build Chatbots for Local Businesses ($500+)

Want to make some quick cash? There’s a way to earn money fast and keep earning it by using cool new technology to help businesses right in your neighborhood. Local businesses are swamped. They’re dealing with phone calls, emails, common questions, people walking in, and more calls. Imagine walking into a dentist’s office or a hair salon and saying, "Hey, I can build you a chatbot that takes care of appointments, answers common questions, and follows up with customers for $500." You can use tools like Bot Press, ManyChat, or Chatbase. No need to know how to code – it’s just drag, drop, test, and launch.

Pick Your Niche

It’s smart to focus on one type of business. For instance, med spas are really popular right now. Build one chatbot that works for a med spa, and then you can sell that same system to ten different clients. It’s a repeatable process.

Pricing Your Service

Your starting price could be anywhere from $500 to $1,000. Plus, you can offer monthly packages for support and updates. This is a great way to make money quickly and consistently by using technology that seems almost magical to help local businesses.

Key Takeaways

  • Focus on one industry, like med spas.
  • Use no-code chatbot builders like Bot Press, ManyChat, or Chatbase.
  • Charge $500-$1000 for initial setup.
  • Offer monthly support and updates for recurring income.
  • Be the hero for local businesses by solving their problems.

By doing this, you’re not just making money; you’re becoming a problem-solver for businesses in your community. You’ll be seen as a hero!

Who’s the Coach?

I’m Chris Dessi.

Tech entrepreneur. Author. Talking head.
But before any of that—I’m a builder.

I’ve spent the last 20+ years helping companies grow:
From dot-com chaos to SaaS scale-ups to AI-powered everything.
I’ve sold software across continents. Closed $32M in deals using AI.
Built and exited businesses. Bombed a few too. All of it made me sharper.

Today, I run Torque AI, a marketing automation platform built for the 99%.
Small business owners. Solopreneurs. Operators with too much to do and not enough support.
We give them AI superpowers—without the hype, the jargon, or the BS.

I’m also the founder of AI Summit NYC, where real business owners come to learn how to actually use AI to drive revenue.

When I’m not building, I’m writing books, speaking on national TV, and coaching execs through reinvention—with a baseball bat in one hand and a meditation app in the other.

I believe reinvention is our greatest asset.
I believe AI isn’t the threat—it’s the test.
And I believe if you’re not adapting, you’re eroding.

Let’s build something that matters.
