Start an AI Prompt Engineering Service

It feels too new and uncertain, so people wait; meanwhile businesses pay for anyone who can make AI output reliable in their niche.

1. 1

   Pick a vertical you know

   Real estate, law firms, clinics, insurance agencies: choose one where you understand the daily tasks. Your industry knowledge is the moat, not the prompting tricks.

2. 2

   Build and test the library

   Write 25 to 50 prompts against real tasks (listing descriptions, intake summaries, follow-up emails) in ChatGPT and Claude, and keep only the ones that produce usable output on the first run.

3. 3

   Package it two ways

   A subscription prompt library in Notion at $49 to $199 per month, and a done-for-you tier where you build the workflows inside their tools for a project fee.

4. 4

   Prove ROI with one pilot

   Set one business up at a discount, measure hours saved per week, and turn that number into your sales page. 'Saves an agent 6 hours a week' sells; 'AI prompts' does not.

5. 5

   Sell where owners already gather

   Pitch on LinkedIn, in the vertical's Facebook groups, and through association newsletters. Lead with a free teardown of how they are using AI today.

6. 6

   Make updates the retention hook

   Models change every few months, so ship monthly library updates and a changelog. That is the honest reason the subscription renews instead of getting copied once and cancelled.
