AI 行业发展到了新阶段
最近海内外都开始有一些反思的声音出现了:
1. model+harness才是产品(而不会吃掉一切)
2. 完全自动化就是在骗自己,珍贵的东西都无法完全自动化,离不开人的参与
3. 慢工出细活的耐心,是AI时代的新奢侈品,欲速则不达,慢就是快
4. AI 的成本支出很大,算 ROI 有时候不如人
If you sell your time (freelancing, consulting, coaching), here's how to escape the time-for-money trap:
Phase 1: Document everything. Every process you repeat with clients, every framework you walk them through, every template you rebuild from scratch. Write it all down.
Phase 2: Package the repeatable stuff. If you explain the same onboarding process to every client, that's a guide. If you build the same spreadsheet for every project, that's a template. If you answer the same 20 questions, that's an FAQ or mini-course.
Phase 3: Price it as a DIY alternative to hiring you. If you charge $150/hr for consulting, sell the self-serve version for $49 to $99. You're not undercutting yourself. You're capturing the customers who could never afford you in the first place.
Phase 4: Add it to your website and your email signature. "Not ready for 1-on-1 consulting? Start with my DIY toolkit."
Phase 5: Watch it compound. The product sells while you sleep, and the best customers will upgrade to your premium service anyway.
You keep the clients. You add the product revenue on top. That's leverage.
