Details
The author, a designer, was often overworked and felt he couldn't meet client demands. One night, he accidentally sent a draft instead of the final logo design, expecting a negative reaction. Instead, the client asked him to teach how he created the design. Over the next 11 days, the author conducted 4 mini-courses over Zoom, earning $1,360 - more than he typically makes in 3 weeks of regular design work. He realized that clients were willing to pay for his time and expertise in using AI/ML tools like Claude and Cursor, rather than just the end product. This led him to shift his business model from providing design services to teaching others how to leverage these AI tools, which was more profitable and less stressful than the previous approach.
