How to run a $10K–$20K/mo marketing agency by yourself. Using AI to handle the heavy lifting.
Without building a team. Without selling "AI automation" to confused prospects. Without becoming another cautionary tale in the AI agency space.

Four nights.
Two to three hours each.
Live, with Q&A at the end of every class.
We're going to show you the model my team and I are running right now to operate a marketing agency on AI agents instead of a team of people.
The same model that lets me finish work by 1pm and use the time I get back to build other companies.
The model is not "AI automation."
It's not "AI agency" in the way the gurus are selling it.
It's something different.
I'll explain.
What everyone else is selling you vs. what actually works in 2026
THE "AI AGENCY" PITCH VS. THE AI ASSISTED AGENCY
What they're selling you
What actually works
If you've tried multiple things in this space, you've hit one of these six walls
YOU'VE TRIED THINGS.
THEY DIDN'T WORK THE WAY YOU HOPED.
You're not a complete beginner.
You've tried things. You've put in work. You've spent money on courses, software subscriptions, ad spend, and other people's promises.
Some of you came from the SMMA wave. Some of you came from cold email. Some of you came from freelancing. Some of you came from sales. Some of you came from "AI Automation Agencies," watched the videos, learned Voiceflow and Retell, built chatbot demos that nobody bought, and got told the issue was your reps.
Some of you came from things that have nothing to do with this space at all. Real estate. Trading. Crypto. Sports betting systems. Dropshipping.
Most of you have tried more than three of these. A meaningful number of you have tried more than seven.
If you've tried multiple things, you've hit one of these six walls. Probably more than one.
Pattern 1
YOU COULDN'T GET CONSISTENT CLIENTS.
Some months were okay. Some months were dead. The feast-or-famine cycle wore you down until you started questioning whether you were the problem.
Pattern 2
YOU GOT CLIENTS, THEN DROWNED.
Every new client meant more hours. More fires. More 11pm Slack messages. You looked up one day and realized you'd built a worse job than the one you were trying to escape.
Pattern 3
YOU HIT A PLATEAU AND COULDN'T BREAK THROUGH.
Maybe $5K a month. Maybe $10K. Maybe $15K. Then a wall. New niches, new offers, new outreach scripts, nothing moved the needle.
Pattern 4
THE MARGINS WERE GARBAGE.
Revenue looked great on paper. After software, contractors, refunds, ad spend, and the VAs you hired to keep the wheels turning, you were keeping 20 to 30 percent in a good month.
Pattern 5
YOU BOUGHT HELP THAT DIDN'T HELP.
A course. A Skool community. A coaching program. The information was surface-level. The "community" was dead. The promised coaches disappeared after week three.
Pattern 6
YOU KEEP SWITCHING.
Each time something didn't work, you tried the next thing. Each time you switched, you started over. Each time you started over, you lost momentum, money, and confidence.
If three of these describe you, the rest of this page is for you.
You're not lazy. You're not dumb. You picked broken models that were never going to put you where you wanted to go.
The fix is not switching to another broken model with a fresh coat of paint. The fix is understanding which model actually works in 2026, and running it.
Right now, almost every "AI agency" program in the market is selling you the same thing
THE ENTIRE AI AUTOMATION AGENCY WAVE IS BUILT ON ONE CORE MISTAKE
Build automations. Build chatbots. Build voice agents. Sell those builds to businesses. Become the AI expert that companies hire to "implement AI."
Here's the problem with that pitch.
Businesses do not buy AI. They buy outcomes.
When a roofing company owner picks up a cold email from someone offering "AI automation services," they read the first line, they don't understand it, and they delete it.
When that same roofing company owner gets a cold email that says "we'll book you 15 to 20 qualified appointments this month or you don't pay us," they reply.
Same delivery underneath. Different positioning. The first one assumes the prospect cares about AI. The second one knows the prospect cares about getting more jobs.
This is the core mistake the entire AI Automation Agency wave is built on. It's selling the technology instead of the result.
And the people teaching it have a vested interest in you not seeing through it. Because the AI Automation Agency model only works for one type of person. The person selling the AI Automation Agency course.
If you build a cohort of 3,800 students paying $7,000 each, you don't need to actually run an automation agency. You can be a course business that calls itself a "transformation partner."
The cohort that completes an AI Automation Agency program and gets a single $5,000 client is small. Most stall out at the chatbot demo stage. The ones who do break through almost always do it by quietly pivoting to selling traditional services and using AI to fulfill them. They just don't tell you that. Because if they did, the entire model would collapse.
Your instincts about this space were right. The model is broken. You are not.
Here's the model that's actually working in 2026
THE AI ASSISTED AGENCY
You sell normal marketing services. Email marketing. Content creation. Lead generation. Cold outreach. Things businesses already pay for. Things they understand without you having to explain.
You charge $2,000 to $4,000 per month per client. You get 4 to 5 clients. That's $8,000 to $20,000 per month in recurring revenue.
You set up AI agents to handle the bulk of the actual labor. The email marketing agent writes the sequences. The content agent creates the posts and the copy. The lead generation agent builds the lists and runs the outreach. You handle quality control, client relationships, and strategy.
THE 80/10 RULE
AI handles the labor. You handle the judgment. You work 20 to 25 hours a week. You keep 80 percent or more of the revenue because there's no team to pay.
Three things to notice.
First, you never use the word "AI" in your sales conversations. You sell marketing services. The AI is how you fulfill them. It's a margin advantage, not a pitch.
Second, you don't build chatbots for clients. You don't sell automations. You don't position yourself as an AI expert. You position yourself as the marketing agency that books them clients.
Third, you don't hire a team. The single person + AI math is fundamentally better than the team math.

Why I can teach this
MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
DANIEL FAZIO
Co-founder, Client Ascension & ListKit
I'm not going to give you a long bio. Here's what's relevant.
I co-founded Client Ascension, which has collected over $30 million from agency owners and operators. I co-founded ListKit, which is valued at $48.6 million. I currently run both companies, and my personal operation generates over $1 million a month.
The agency I run uses the exact model I'm going to teach you. AI agents handle the fulfillment. I work about 25 hours a week. I'm done by 1pm most days. The rest of the time I'm building other companies.
I'm not teaching you a theory. I'm not teaching you something I read about. I'm teaching you the operation I run every day.
I've also taught this to over 1,000 students. Some of them are doing $50K, $66K, $109K a month. The ones who do the work get the result. The ones who don't, don't.
That's the honest version.
What we cover in 4 nights
THE 4-DAY CURRICULUM
WHAT TO SELL AND WHO TO SELL IT TO
This is where most people screw up. They sell vague "AI automation" that confuses prospects. They pick saturated niches that don't respond. They position themselves as a commodity and then wonder why they can't close.
HOW AI AGENTS ACTUALLY WORK
No theory. No slides with bullet points. We're building these agents in front of you, live.
HOW TO GET CLIENTS AND CLOSE DEALS
This is the class that makes you money. Having a great offer means nothing if you can't get it in front of people and close them.
ADVANCED AI MARKETING SKILLS + OPERATOR MINDSET
Advanced skills, the beliefs that keep you stuck, and the 30-day plan that gets you moving.
People are running this model right now. Real names. Real numbers.
WHAT STUDENTS WHO'VE DONE THIS LOOK LIKE
These are my real students getting these results. I've done live, verifiable case studies with them on my YouTube channel. You can watch them if you don't believe me. Just search on YouTube 'Daniel Fazio Case Studies'

The Show Up and Learn Guarantee
THE RISK IS ON US, NOT YOU
Show up to all 4 classes. Take notes. Ask questions. Pay attention.
If you don't think it was worth $47, email us after Day 4. Full refund. No questions asked.
We've run classes like this before. The refund rate is in the low single digits. The class delivers.
Three reasons this is timed the way it is
THE WINDOW IS OPEN NOW.
IT WON'T STAY OPEN FOREVER.
First, the AI tools we use have stabilized enough that what we'll teach you on June 2nd will still be relevant in 6 months. Up until late 2024, this was harder to teach because the tools changed every quarter. That's settled down. We can finally hand you a stable playbook.
Second, the next time we run this challenge will be in the fall. Between June and the fall we're heads-down running our businesses and writing the next iteration of the AI Assisted Agency curriculum. If you miss this window, you'll be waiting until at least September.
Third, the AI window itself is open right now in a way that won't last forever. The operators who learn to use AI for delivery in the next 12 to 24 months will eat the operators who don't. The agencies that adapt will keep their clients. The ones that don't will lose them.
If you've been thinking about this for a while, the right move is to take a small action right now and put yourself in the room. $47 is small.
Questions you might have
FAQ
YOU CAN GRAB YOUR TICKET BELOW.
OR YOU CAN SCROLL PAST
AND LET THIS ONE GO TOO.
The reason most of you reading this haven't bought yet is not the price. It's that you've been burned before.
You bought the SMMA course in 2020. You bought the cold email course in 2022. You bought the AI Automation Agency course in 2023. You bought the trading bot in 2024. You're tired. You don't want to put your hope on another thing that might not work.
We get that.
What we want you to understand is that the model we're going to teach you in 4 days is the same model my team and I are running every day. Right now. While you're reading this. The agents are running. The clients are getting their work done. The retainers are renewing. This is not theoretical. It's the operation we've built.
If you want to spend 4 nights with us understanding exactly how it works, the ticket is $47. If you want to keep watching from the outside, that's also okay. But the next time you find yourself wondering whether there's a way to use AI that doesn't require you to become a chatbot vendor, remember that you already saw it.
Price goes to $67 when the timer hits zero
Price increases in
P.S. Three things to remember.
First, the $47 price is early bird. It goes to $67 once the timer at the top of this page hits zero. After that, registration closes when the live event starts on June 1st.
Second, the recordings are included. If you can't attend all 4 nights live, you can watch them later.
Third, the class is refundable. Show up to all 4 classes, take notes, ask questions. If you don't think it was worth $47, email us after Day 4 and we'll refund it. The risk is on us. The 4 nights are on you.
I'll see you Monday.
