# Corey Ganim's AI Concierge: Earning $8,000 Monthly

Corey Ganim @coreyganim I'm making $8,000 a month building Claude skills for other people's businesses. I call it the AI Concierge. I have 5 clients paying $1,200 to $2,000 a month each. My effective rate is about $1,200 an hour. Every engagement runs on one framework I call AOA: Audit, Optimize, Automate. Here's the entire model: 1) Most people skip straight to Automate. That's the fun part. It's also how you end up automating a broken process. 2) Audit first. The client shares their screen and walks the process in painful detail while I take notes in a Google Doc and interrupt with a million questions. 3) Capture the plumbing, not just the steps. Who owns each step, which tool it runs in, where the data lives, and whether that tool can connect to Claude. 4) Hand the audit doc to Claude and ask it to find a better way. Then push back. Claude's first synopsis is usually partly wrong, and the client catches it. 5) Cut the fat. Most processes are 15 steps and only need to be 11. Most clients use 3 tools where 2 would do. 6) One home per fact. One client stored customer data in ClickUp and the CRM. We killed the ClickUp copy. Duplicates are just human error waiting to happen. 7) Have Claude write the build plan. It splits the process into skills, scaffolds each one, and lists next steps. Then you lock the doc. 8) A skill is a markdown file plus reference files. A reference file is just an example of what good looks like. Claude builds all of it. 9) Build one skill at a time from the build plan. If the audit was done right, Claude one shots it. Test on a real run, let Claude interview you, iterate. Version 2 is usually the keeper. 10) Draft first, never auto send. A speed to lead skill drafts replies for review on day one. It earns auto send later. Two things that make this work: 1) Audit and Optimize are 80% of the work. Automate is the 20%. You have to earn the right to build. 2) Skills do one thing well. Split at every point a human or a wait interrupts the chain, then let an orchestrator run them back to back.
