The Story

Built on April 21, 2026. Brian wanted to document a real business model that could work for DEWER community members — starting a local AI services agency where the AI does the work and the operator focuses on client acquisition. Products: websites ($100/year), bookkeeping ($200-500/month), and custom AI teams ($100/month per agent). Brian is currently testing this in his local community.

What It Does

A complete business plan for starting an AI-powered local business services agency. The AI does the work — you focus on clients.

The Concept

An AI-powered local business services agency that offers affordable digital services to small businesses. You don't need to build anything — the tools exist. You just need to talk to clients and run the tools.

Why it works: Local businesses need websites, bookkeeping help, and AI integration — but they can't afford agencies that charge thousands. You offer the same services at a fraction of the cost, powered by AI.

Four Products

The $5 Chicken Strategy

Think Costco. Their $5 chicken isn't there to make money — it's there to get you in the door. Your $100/year website is the same:

• Gets clients in the door
• Buys the relationship
• Opens upsell opportunities (bookkeeping, AI teams)

Revenue Model

Service	Price	Your Cost	Margin
Website	$100/year	~$10	~$90
Bookkeeping	$200–500/month	AI-assisted	High
Virtual Receptionist	$100/month	~$20	$80
DEWER per employee	$100/month	$20	$80
AI Team (3 agents)	$300–500/month	$60	$240–440

How to Get Started

1. Get DEWER — $20/month. This gives you all the tools: Static Site Builder, Eli, Venter, and more.
2. Buy a domain — ~$10/year for your agency name
3. Build your website — Use DEWER. 10 minutes.
4. Set up a virtual phone — Get a number that answers and books appointments
5. Post in local Facebook groups — Offer $100 websites
6. Start conversations — Learn their business, upsell services
