J’ai Essayé de Gagner de l’Argent avec des Agents IA (5’680€)

In this video, Yomi and his team member, Anthony, set out to test a trending business model: selling AI agents. The premise is that beginners can earn thousands of euros monthly with zero starting capital and no coding skills. To make the test authentic, Yomi establishes strict rules: he cannot use his famous name or his existing professional network, the budget is capped at €100, and Anthony must handle all client interactions to prove that a "nobody" can succeed. The goal is to build an AI agent business and generate revenue within just seven days. The journey begins with defining what an AI agent actually is. Yomi describes them as "virtual employees" capable of replacing human effort in specific tasks, such as customer support, marketing reports, or lead generation. To ensure success, Yomi uses the "Triple A" technique for niche selection: Argentable (has money), Advantage (has a clear need), and Advantage (where the seller has an edge). After consulting the AI tool Claude, they consider niches like Dubai real estate and aesthetic clinics but ultimately settle on e-commerce. Yomi argues that e-commerce brands have high volume, clear pain points, and he understands their operations intimately. The next step is identifying the specific problem to solve. For e-commerce owners, the two biggest goals are making more money or saving time. Customer support is identified as the ultimate time-sink. By automating support, an agent can save a business hundreds of hours a month. To craft an "irresistible offer," they use a framework inspired by Alex Hormozi. The final offer is a 24/7 instant response system with a satisfaction guarantee: if the AI doesn’t outperform the current human support, the client doesn't pay. The standard price is set at €1,500 plus a €300 monthly maintenance fee, but for the first five "beta" clients, they slash the price to €500 with a €97 monthly fee to build a track record and remove friction. The execution phase starts with prospecting. Using a tool called Lemlist, they set up automated email sequences targeting Shopify store owners doing between €50,000 and €500,000 in monthly revenue. The strategy focuses on the "mid-market"—businesses large enough to have a support burden but small enough to lack complex corporate hurdles. Within the first 48 hours, the strategy looks like a massive success; they send 200 emails and receive three interested responses. However, the challenge hits a "valley of despair" on day four. The initial leads go silent, and new emails yield no results. Anthony feels discouraged, but Yomi views this as the "iteration phase" where most entrepreneurs quit. He explains that the secret to success is persevering where others stop. To fix the stagnation, they consult Claude again and identify two major levers: volume and credibility. To increase volume, they switch to a tool called "Instantly," which allows them to send 400 emails a day from multiple addresses without hitting spam filters. They also decide to personalize the first line of every email to increase open rates. To boost credibility, they spend an hour building a simple, professional website and a LinkedIn profile for Anthony. Yomi notes that while a website isn't strictly necessary, it prevents the business from looking like a "ghost" operation, giving potential clients the confidence to book a call. The pivot works. By day six, Anthony has three sales calls scheduled. The first call is a minor setback; the client is on vacation and asks to be called back the following week. In a time-sensitive challenge, this feels like a failure, but the momentum is clearly shifting. The second call is the breakthrough. Anthony speaks with a clothing store owner who is immediately interested in the €500 setup fee and the €97 monthly maintenance. The client agrees to the quote on the spot, marking the first official sale of the challenge. The success continues with a third call. This prospect runs a sports marketing company with a massive database of 300,000 leads. Their problem isn't customer support but lead qualification—their sales team is overwhelmed with low-quality inquiries. Anthony pitches a lead-qualification bot to "warm up" prospects before passing them to human salespeople. The client agrees to a proposal, resulting in another €500 sale. By the end of the seven days, the team has generated €1,000 in setup fees and secured recurring monthly maintenance revenue. Yomi concludes that while their strategy was far from perfect—the emails were "average" and the targeting was "approximate"—they succeeded because they prioritized action over perfection. They sent hundreds of emails and pushed through rejection while others would have spent weeks overthinking their logo or offer. The main conclusion of the experiment is that in the world of AI agents, high volume and rapid iteration are the only true requirements for success. The video ends as a call to action for viewers to stop dreaming and start prospecting, as the "AI wave" represents a unique window of opportunity for those willing to do the work.
