You're stuck in a learning loop watching free Claude courses with zero clarity on how to actually make money. Here's how I'm going to solve that.
I'm going to show you five prompts I gave to Claude that made me $10,000 in 7 days with zero dollars invested. These five prompts cut through the BS you see all over the internet about making money with Claude. These prompts have been used by several one-person business owners to add an additional $5 to $10,000 in monthly revenue. I will show myself using each of these prompts so you can copy them and use them for yourself so you can sign your first high-ticket client in the next 30 days.
Do not skip this video because otherwise you'll continue in a learning loop with zero action taken. The only way to sign three high-ticket clients is by signing one first and once that first one comes in, the rest will follow. So I call this a zero to one challenge. And if you closely follow along and complete this challenge, your life can change forever.
And for those who don't know me, I am living proof of this. I used to work as a big tech software engineer working 50 hours a week earning low six figures a year and was just unhappy where I was in life. I wanted real freedom, not golden handcuffs. So, I left my job. Then, I focused on building several AI businesses, and now I'm earning five times more income, live in a studio on Wall Street, and travel every 3 months to a new country. This isn't to brag, but to show you why if you follow everything in this video and complete the zero to one challenge, you can be signing high-ticket clients and be leading a successful business. So, let's get into it.
The first out of the five prompts will help you find a winning business idea that's personalized to you. Let's dissect our first prompt. We are telling Claude it's a world-class one-person AI business coach and we're letting it know that it's helped hundreds of operators escape corporate jobs and stuck creator phases to launch profitable solo AI businesses under 90 days. Making sure we tell it anti-fluff, opinionated, and ruthless about what is real versus what sounds good because Claude is known to be a yes man. So you have to constantly iterate, do not be a yes man and be as real as possible.
Now, when you're starting a business, you want to make sure that the business idea you have some sort of unique advantage in, whether it be your skills, your interests, and of course, your explicit unique advantages. So, we have Claude ask us any questions that it may not know about us, and then come up with three to five one-person business ideas that require under $1,000 invested upfront, follow modern, validated ideas, and ideas that we have some sort of unique advantage in. So, let me go ahead and fire this up.
Okay, so I have a round of questions I'm being asked. What is idea actually for new standalone business lifestyle envelope? How many hours a week do you actually have something new in the next 90 days? Profit hypothesis. Name two to four niches or problems you currently suspect have buyers. Aliveness check of the modes you operate in. Writing coach shipping systems, making content. This is just information about myself, about my businesses. Which one would you keep doing for six months if I paid nothing? Interesting question.
Okay, so we can answer some of the questions. What's idea actually for a new standalone business that extends off of or a new business current businesses in my ecosystem. So I'm telling Claude to find a business that stems off my current businesses lifestyle envelope. How many hours a week? Let's say 10 hours a week. So 10-15 hours a week. Profit hypothesis. Um, what are some niches or problems that I think or just use my validated ICP? So I can just tell Claude I don't know. Or here, let's say I don't know. You decide aliveness check. Um, I would keep coaching founders on growing their businesses via content and backend automated systems there. See what it comes up with.
All right. So, we have our idea. You can see all the research that was conducted to figure out this idea. It really went deep into the weeds, right? So the four ideas idea one is Rise Stack Claude's Co-System. You run four businesses you run four businesses on package and sold to foundry creators add a one-time fee with a $997 white glove install upsell interesting. The product is a funnel that installs a margin. A Rise is the back end. ICPs foundry creators and sold consultants. And mind you, it's using all my background knowledge on me so far to come up with these ideas. Pricing delivery distribution play one YouTube launch video, InstaDM um kit, email sequences to existing list, founding cohort, and you have I use my school and Discord community. Why this fits me? The product already exists. You built these skills for yourself and mentees. It leans on your engineering skill, content interest, and the profit hypothesis I chose for you. Your own audience of AI curious founders is a validated buyer pool. You've never sold a sub-$200 product too. That is true. I've never done a low-ticket product. Um, every buyer becomes a warm lead for Rise content mastermind agent Rise. The DM engine. So, $997 done-for-you Instagram DM funnel install for coaches and creators. Um, okay. The Operator, a weekly newsletter for founders building AI-leveraged businesses, monetized through sponsorships and as its own distribution rail for every product in your ecosystem. Okay, so this is more of a newsletter business. I have a newsletter, so feel free to join it in the description, but I don't really monetize my newsletter. I just use it to kind of share my views and new technologies and updates in the AI business space. But I've never really thought of making a monetization angle to my Operator newsletter. Rise Lab, a paid school community for founders building one-person AI businesses. The ascension wrong between your free content and a paid program. Um, weekly scores, honesty, Rise Stack, lifestyle ranking, the pick 30-day launch. So, here's a scorecard. We have active buyers, the total, the number one is Rise Stack. That's the number one ranked idea. The DM Engine, Operator, Rise Lab. Okay. Um, let's see. Go back to Rise Stack. This, I believe, is a Claude skill system with a $997 white glove install upsell pricing delivery one-time content 105 production skills. So all I guess all the content Claude go skills I've created over this past many months and then an install guide, a 90-minute session where you install the stack, tune a custom voice code to their brand, and map to your content pipeline. This is pretty good. I imagine you have a set of Claude skills that allow you to create content that sounds like you at scale, fully automated, right? Without you having to manually write scripts. That's that's not bad. So let's go ahead. I will proceed with the Rise Stack, which is idea one. Make note of this. So we're telling Claude, make note that this is the idea we're going to be pursuing as we go through the next prompts.
Now, this is where a lot of beginner business owners fail with Claude. Claude gives them a couple of ideas and gives them a belief that these ideas that were shot by Claude on the first go are the best ideas possible. No, Claude is a yes man, even if you tell it not to be. And I don't want you to waste your next month and make $0. So, here's how to fix that. So, our next prompt is our competitor analysis prompt. You see the full breakdown here. So, let's dissect it. We're giving Claude an identity. It's a world-class market research analyst and competitor intelligence specialist. This is to again do competitive research at scale and go very deep dive into it. You're anti-fluff, evidence-obsessed, and ruthless about what is real versus what sounds good. Um, so take my business idea because you made the note saying what our business idea is. Claude understands that this is the business idea. So no need to specifically like copy or paste it here. We're going to be researching five to 10 competitors that are dominating in this space for our business idea. But one thing I really want to highlight is this part of the prompt right here. A monopoly is a 99% dealbreaker for me. If you are launching a business and you are competing against a company like Google, let's say you're launching a new AI browser, competing against a company like Google, which has almost a monopoly on the browser space, is a huge road that you're going to be having to, you know, climb. And you don't want to be climbing that road because it is going to result in no clients in the next seven or 30 days or even maybe three months. So I rather recommend you pursue a business idea that has competitors, meaning the idea is validated and people are making money. This idea. But no competitor should have a monopoly. Okay, that's why I say monopoly is a 99% dealbreaker for me. Um, and the verdicts again should have proceeded, caution, or dealbreaker tag attached to it and three reasons tied to the actual findings so we can see what Claude thinks is um, good or not good about our idea. So, let's go ahead and fire this out. We will see what the comparative analysis returns.
All right, we have our venture report ready. You can see competitive research monopoly analysis for my committed idea. The Rise Stack gives some information here. 11 web searches this session across Google, Product Hunt, Trustpilot, GitHub, Anthropic Docs, Reddit, Scope Queries, and Security Research Publications. July 2026, which is the month right now. And you can see that it has done an intense amount of research to get to this point, which is great. You can see everything that went through all the websites, any it looks like a lot of Product Hunt, other websites. Nice. So this prompt gives extensive research capabilities to Claude and what it does is it really makes sure that your idea is worth pursuing. You can see the executive summary 60 seconds. The verdict is proceed. So after back-testing this idea and getting Claude's feedback, I feel way more confident in this idea and actually pursuing it. No monopoly exists, which is a huge plus. Now I know that I'm not going against some billion-dollar company. Um, solo operators are doing $5K/50 days and $99 copy. So, there's not much competition, but looks like here are the top players. God of Prompt, I've actually never heard of them. $150 complete AI bundle one-time prompt base. Ryan Dossier Claude code skill stack better with Claude. OpenAI Academy prompt packs. What didn't show up? No dominant operator brand skill system player, meaning this is a blue ocean. There's not many people in the space. Monopoly checked the 99% dealbreaker test. Finally, no monopoly or near monopoly exists among sellers. I am not manufacturing one. So, Claude is letting us know that it's not making up information and it's not being a yes man, which is great. Um, no players hold dominant share. Looks like this service has 17,000 customers. This one has 310,000 listings. Um, this is the one real concentration point, Anthropic. It runs an official plugin marketplace built into Claude Code and Co-work, publishes free official skills. So you know the idea is why would someone pay for your skills if they can just get free skills from this marketplace? If I can brand my skills as being unique to a certain use case or certain niche, there is potential of people buying it. In structure will not cannot sell my operation system, my content architecture, my offer frameworks, my voice, my funnels, back my proof. So essentially it's saying that Anthropic has commoditized generic horizontal skills, while the skills that I'm offering are more content-based, business-based skills that are very unique and backed by data, which is true. Vertical on dealbreaker test pass. Okay. No monopoly. We know that. Um, red flags. So here are the red flags that have been raised. Price floor pressure. A $5 bundle with 2,000+ skills exist. Anthropic was OpenAI give free. Well, give first-party packs away free. Okay. Um, so it's essentially saying that branding and marketing is going to be huge because we can't win on volume or price alone. So, we have to win on is proof, curation, and the install/coaching layer. Meaning, we have to show that these skills work and have tangible proof that motivate our buyers to actually get the product. Um, verdict is proceed. Okay. And these are all the sources that it's scraped if you want to do some backtesting and some verification yourself.
With our business idea finalized and competitor analysis done, we can move forward to building an offer people will actually pay for. This is the backbone of your entire business. A winning offer will bring high-ticket clients. A losing offer will waste months worth of effort. So let me show you the prompt I use to build the offer that landed me three high-ticket clients in 7 days. We will now have Claude build our offer. This is the prompt. You see again, we're giving the identity world-class offer strategist and direct response marketer. We're telling it to use Hermosi's Grand Slam Offer framework and we're passing in our business idea and competitor research because it's all in the same chat. We don't have to explicitly repaste the competitor analysis or the idea into this prompt. And we're having it build one irresistible offer. Dream outcome. Follow the value equation that has been famous by Hermosi. And we're also going to add a risk reversal guarantee that fits the delivery model. Honest scarcity and urgency. This will just motivate people to actually buy the product. And this is what makes offers very valuable. Again, do not be a yes man. If the research shows a market can't support a premium price, tell me and show me the ceiling. So, we are trying to keep Claude as honest as possible. So, let's go ahead and figure out what this offer is going to look like.
Here's our offer. You can see this is an offer in one sentence. $149 launch price, $199 standard price, and a $997 white glove install. Why I strongly believe this will work. The market has verified every price point. So, it's looking at our competitor's pricing and giving a price that matches theirs. Has a checklist. You can see the entire Grand Slam Offer breakdown. Massive pain. Capacity ceiling is chronic, not cute. Um, class sub descriptions. Purchasing power. We want to target $3K to $30,000 a month foundry creators who already buy tools, templates because if they buy one tool, they'll most likely be able to buy another tool. Um, growing market, easy to target. So, the ratings are pretty good out of five. We have two five out of fives and two four out of fives. So, proceed is the final verdict right here. The value equation. Um, so effort and sacrifice. Buyer must install, learn, triggering, and adapt goes to their voice. That is true. Some people don't really know how to use Claude yet. They probably don't watch the rest of my videos, but it's okay. Once they learn, I think it'll be pretty easy to install. And how the offer fixes it. Install Loom routing map live group install workshop. So, basically by installing my service for them, it kind of mitigates this weakness right here. Uh, before purchases, free skills are everywhere. Why pay? One, free skills might be malware. These are just pain points that exist that I can use for marketing campaigns. I can't find the right prompt where I need it during delivery after purchase the stack. So the content engine five skills, what they get. The distribution engine four skills. So we're going to be giving skills to idea content script, right, as well as skills for repurposing, turning long-form into LinkedIn post transcript breakdowns. We're going to have sales engine skills for ICP outreach VSSL. Um, the routing map, install kit, odyssey, and lifetime updates. So the core stack value, the enhancers. So you can see it's a very deep breakdown, and I can go through this all, but you'll probably get bored. But your offer will look somewhat like this in terms of length. So it it makes sense for you to go through the entire offer.
Now, the offer we have isn't our final offer. To reward you for making it this far in the video, I'm going to give you a Claude skill that I personally developed that turns my offers into winning offers that are fail-safe and back-tested. I made this Roast Scope because we don't want Claude to be nice. We want it to be real. You can get the Roast Scope for free from the description below.
So, here is the roast on our offer. You can see it's a very detailed roast, and I recommend spending some time going through the roast for your own offer and seeing where the fallacies are. You can see in my case, if someone were to spread my Claude skills into a free GitHub repository, my business would kind of implode right there, and it highlights all the possible risks with my business, how it can kind of get destroyed. So all the conditions, the rebuild. So the way you can do it is you can say, "Fix my offer based on the roast and make it foolproof." So now what this command will do is it will go ahead and make your offer way better than it originally was based on the roast. This is a good way of making Claude build the best offers possible and do not just depend on the first offer it gives you.
Now this next prompt will give you clarity, confidence, and actionable steps to sign your first high-ticket client next 30 days. However, the final prompt might have you sign your first high-ticket client in just the next week alone. Now this is the next prompt we'll be giving Claude. You can see it's a world-class client acquisition strategist and growth operator. This is the identity, and we're saying it helps hundreds of solo operators from zero to first paying client under 30 days. And we're going to have it take his offer, competitor, ICP research, everything and build a 30-day action plan to land my first paying client. We give a week-by-week breakdown. And then we also have Claude tell us real numbers for every step. Exactly how many DMs, how many emails, how many calls per day should we be doing, what are the expected reply rates, what does this action plan look like in detail. We don't want any general plans like, "go ahead and do some outreach." Okay? Like for example, no task like "post consistently" or "engage with your niche." We want Claude to be very specific. We want Claude to give us a simple daily scorecard so we know that we're doing all the tasks we should be doing every single day. Again, specify that it should not be a yes man. And finally, if our offer price point makes a 30-day first client unrealistic at solo outreach volume, let us know. Let us know what we can expect. Let us know what must be changed so we can get a client in the next 30 days without fail.
Here is our 30-day first client plan. You can see definition of done. First paying client happens twice in this plan, which is that's pretty cool. So, funnel math backwards from one client path, a install via warm audience. So two to three calls booked. Volume needed, four to six conversations. So looking at 25 to 30 warm DMs per installed client at 20 DMs a day, that's 1.5 hour, 1.5 days of outreach per client. Code math verdict, 150 to 300 DMs per client on optimistic assumptions, most of a month's volume for one to two clients. This is what the plan would look like if you didn't own an audience. So if you don't have a personal brand, this is the volume you should be going for. Um, so upsell bridge prospects list A, hottest 150. Everyone who ever DM'd about Agent Rise mastermind, didn't buy. Active free school and Discord members. For those who don't know, Agent Rise is my one-on-one consulting/coaching program. List B, engage 300 IG likers, commenters, or people who may have interacted with my content in the past. List C is called reserve founder creators, 5K-100K followers on exit LinkedIn. Um, okay. So this is a week one setup. You see we have a one-day-by-day breakdown, day one, day two, day three, all the way to day six, seven. Week one milestone, what we should expect. So 10 founding seats sold out, 100 DM poll answered, two to three volume plus iteration. We're looking at a launch video, atomize, atomize launch video. We have repurposed content, so use our repurposed content skill to sell our own product, which is pretty cool. We're using our Claude skills to sell themselves. It's really nice. Uh, day 15, we're killing the worst performing angle, which is great because a lot of founders, they'll go ahead and market across various channels. But when you figure out which marketing channels are working for you and the ones that are not working for you, you want to kill the ones that are not working for you and double down on the ones that are. So day 16 to 18, 20 DMs a day plus install pitch to every new buyer. 20 DMs a day on day 19-21. So week two milestone, we're looking at two plus install conversations. The one metric, warm DM reply rate, we're looking at above a 20% reply rate. Interesting. The week four is closing. Three to five installs closed. We're looking at $3K to $5K, $10K cumulative. The one metric, installs closed. Did we get people to close on our install upsell for week four? Objection handling. Um, why they should do the $997 one instead of the $149 one. "I can install it myself." That's a very common objection in the AI business space when founders are like, "It's okay. You don't have to do it for me. I'll do it myself." And then we say, "You can. The Loom covers it. The installs are people who want it live this week instead of on the someday list. Which one are you?" That's a really good objection handle. I'm basically saying, "Yeah, you're right. You can do it yourself, but realistically, will you be doing it yourself this week or will you wait till next month so we can get it up and running right now?" That's the whole objection handling for this one. "No time." Uh, we can just say 90 minutes total. I do the work. You leave with something publishable. Outreach scripts. So, we have our first touch follow-ups. Uh, CSBTW for "by the way." was very like informal and more common language of humans, right? Because you probably won't say "by the way" and spell it out. You'll say BTW. And that psychological factor plays a big role when it comes to outreach. You want to sound like a real person, not just AI. We are daily scorecard. Green, yellow, red. Red flags. Honest math. The 30-day first client is realistic because the entry offer already exists. The real risk isn't price. It's the pull. Activation failure kills. Was week three. Um, if founding seats don't sell out to list A by day seven, that is your hottest possible traffic rejecting the offer at its lowest price. Stop. Run the six to nine no-sale conversations as interviews. What would have made this a yes? So essentially, if no one is buying the product on the calls, we can just ask them, "Hey, why didn't you buy the product?" So more of like a research. And then launch publicly. Volume doesn't fix an offer your warmest people passed on. This is a very strong statement. If you have the warmest leads possible and they're not buying your offer, why would a cold lead buy your offer? That's a that's a very good point that Claude just made. Uh, so you can see the entire 30-day action plan.
So, now that you have an actionable 30-day plan to get your first high-ticket client, you might be wondering, wait, you said that I can get a high-ticket client in 7 days. In fact, you got three high-ticket clients in 7 days. Well, this next prompt, my personal favorite, will cut down our 30-day action plan into a 7-day high-intensity action plan that has one goal: get you a high-ticket client in the next week.
This is our final prompt to turn our 30-day action plan to a 7-day action plan. We're letting you know that a world-class high-ticket sales strategist and performance coach has coached hundreds of operators through do-or-die sprints that we must close a high-ticket client in the next seven days, otherwise it's over for us. Then no audience building, no content calendars, no warming up. We're going straight to it. Take my 30-day action plan, my offer, which it's again all in the same chat, so the context is there. Compress this into a 7-day plan to land my first high-ticket client. Don't shrink the 30-day plan. This is very important. We are not trying to cut the plan to a shorter plan. We are taking everything that is there in a 30-day plan and just condensing it. We're not cutting off days, we're just combining days. And that's a big distinction that you must make. Day one's positioning and the hit list. Uh, 30 to 50 prospects. Day two to five, all-out pursuit. We're talking DMs, emails, calls, follow-ups with multi-channel touches per prospect and messaging built on the very urgent version of their pain. The trigger events that make someone buy now, not someday. So we are intensifying the outreach and we're talking to clients with their exact pain points that are just eating them alive and that will make them ideally hop on our offer faster. And day six to seven are closing pressure. So discovery calls, a proposal I can send within hours of the call. Founding client pricing this week only because I'm capping it at one. Essentially just urgency. Creators. So anyone who hops on the call within the first seven days, we're saying, "Hey, only for this week the price is this low." Like basically incentivizing them to buy as soon as possible. And that is a method to get your first high-ticket client, of course. And then include the hour-by-hour structure for each day. So we're looking at an hour-by-hour breakdown because when you're working on a 7-day schedule to close your first high-ticket client, every single hour matters because this is an absolute intense sprint. And again, we are highlighting do not be a yes man because Claude loves being a yes man. And then seven days unrealistic at my price point with my current network and proof. Say so on day zero. Show me the math and give me the highest price deal that is closable. So no matter what, we are going to be closing a client in the next 7 days. And we need to figure out a price that will make that happen. So this is the final prompt, and we're going to see what the 7-day action plan looks like.
Here is our 7-day action plan, and this is a high-ticket sprint. This is the true essence of the zero to one challenge. Day zero, the honest math for a single hour spent. The current offer can carry the target. Wow. So, right away, say, "Hey, your offer is not where it needs to be." The Rise Stack topline is a $997 install sold to foundry creators. The buyer does not sign $5,000 in a week for skill installation. Price to buyer mismatch, not an intensity problem. The buyer with money and urgency already exists in my research. So saying that we already can target some agency owners and SMB service-based businesses that have 5-25 employees, um, essentially in our own warm network. My network is built for exactly this hunt. I have mentees, consulting clients. I have current relationships with clients in the agency space and other service-based industries that I can target. The ceiling honestly, um, four to $7.5K closes in seven days on warm trust is possible. $10K+ happens only if an existing hot lead surfaces. So we can hit five figures in the next 7 days if we are able to upsell to an existing lead. But for leads that maybe have not bought from us or my, you know, businesses in the past, we can maybe sell them on this sort of price point. This sprint is 8 to 10 hours a day. A one-week override of the 10-15 hours a week envelope this venture was scoped at. It only works as a deliberate one-week withdrawal from ecosystem coherence. Um, this line grows whatever the restructured offer, full 12 skill pipeline. So it actually restructured our offer a little bit to, I guess, make it more appealing. Um, funnel math back. So it's saying the one founding client at $4.9K. So this is where essentially it creates a 7-day action plan to sign a client at a much higher rate than we originally thought, which is a $997 plan. Um, now imagine we just take this entire plan and use it for the $997 ticket that we originally had. It would make this way easier. But if we structure this for a much higher ticket, the $4.9K, then ideally the $997 one should be so much easier. So it should be way more doable. That's kind of like the psychology behind this funnel math backwards from one sign contract seven days. Um, three to four discovery calls, 7-10 conversations. Okay. Requirement: 10 first touches days across days 1 to five. 15 to 20 follow-ups a day. Five intro asks a day. Holding two plus real conversations daily at one to two calls a day from day three. That's the whole game. Code only comparison at this price. Uh, the hit list. So, targeting current mentees that I work with, uh, agency clients, agency owners active in my communities, uh, people one intro away from agency owners. So, maybe some like connectors or friends of friends that I can contact and potentially introduce myself and my product to. This is an hour-by-hour breakdown. Hours one to eight. This is a full 9-to-5 job almost, but as an entrepreneur now, positioning, hit list, first blood. Day two to five. Look at this. I'm waking up at 8:00 a.m., getting straight to work. All-out pursuit. 10 new first touches, five intro asks, call block, break plus scorecard, discovery calls, 15 to 20 follow-ups, channel switch, proposals out same day. This is intense. And this is meant to be intense because this is how we can sign a high-ticket client in the next seven days. And then day six to seven, this is non-negotiable, by the way. So we must do this every single day. Day six to seven is closing pressure. We're looking at um value-add closes for every open proposal, a 10-minute personalized Loom, walking through their install plan. So, we're really giving extra value to every single lead that comes in our pipeline because we are in a way desperate to close a client within the next seven days. And this desperation will result in success. That's the whole mindset. We have all the scripts that we need, daily scorecard, and then what breaks this. Uh, so these are all the metrics that if we don't hit them, it could result in us not completing the challenge in seven days. But overall, this is a solid high-ticket, high-intensity sprint that if you're serious, you will be doing.
If you follow these five prompts, you have a much higher chance of landing high-ticket clients the next 7 to 30 days. However, it's not guaranteed. But if you do want guidance and a guaranteed system that does bring in high-ticket clients that I personally use to run my seven-figure AI business, then I recommend booking a call with my team. I will personally be on this call to identify your pain points, figure out why your business is not making money, and how to scale to the next level. But if you're still not ready to take the next step and book a call with me, I recommend watching this video on a new one-person AI business model you can follow to land high-ticket clients.
