I Quit My Software Engineer Job Once I Learned This About AI

0:00 between 70 and 90% of software Engineers 0:02 can't even land a phone interview in 0:04 2025 this means that if you're a 0:06 software engineer right now looking for 0:07 a job your chances are very low to give 0:09 you an idea I posted a job opportunity 0:11 on LinkedIn for a junior developer 0:13 position it got 500 applications in 2 0:16 days but while everyone is fighting over 0:18 these jobs there is a new opportunity 0:19 that most developers are missing and my 0:21 students have been capitalizing on it 0:23 like zad who landed a $110,000 AI 0:26 project for his first ever client or 0:28 Jose who secured the 2,500 retainer for 0:30 an AI project only 15 days after joining 0:33 our community the reality is we're 0:34 living through one of the biggest wealth 0:36 transfer in human history and in this 0:38 video I'll show you exactly how to be on 0:40 the winning side of it my name is zorc 0:42 over the last 5 years I've went from a 0:43 beginner to a senior software engineer 0:45 I've LED multi-million dollar projects 0:46 and currently I'm leading my own AI 0:48 development company where we build AI 0:49 agents and automations for businesses 0:51 the traditional software engineering 0:53 path is dying more and more every day 0:55 the current state of the market is 0:57 thousands of applications for 0:58 entry-level positions countless fake AI 1:00 generate applications boot camps floting 1:02 the market with Junior developers 1:04 companies Outsourcing development as 1:05 much as they can to reduce costs and AI 1:08 tools like curse are replacing routine 1:09 coding tasks don't get me wrong there's 1:11 still ways to get jobs and people do it 1:13 every day billions of dollars are being 1:15 poured in into the tech industry and new 1:17 jobs are being created as we speak I've 1:19 shared many unconventional ways to Lear 1:21 jobs on this channel through the videos 1:22 I make and my students have been learing 1:24 those but it's not easy Tech is not what 1:26 it used to be you have to really fight 1:28 to get these jobs now however on the 1:30 other side of this Market something 1:32 massive is happening every single 1:34 business needs AI think about it look at 1:36 the historical data in the early 2000s 1:38 when the internet came out every 1:40 business suddenly needed a website in 1:42 2010s when social media came out every 1:44 business needed a Facebook page and run 1:46 paid ads you had 16-year-old kids at the 1:49 time selling these services and making 1:50 thousands of dollars now every business 1:53 needs AI but they have no idea how to 1:55 implement it I'm talking about small 1:57 businesses needing AI customer service 1:59 real estate agency wanting AI powered 2:01 analysis marketing firms needing AI 2:03 content generation law firms wanting 2:05 document automation Consultants needing 2:07 AI research assistance e-commerce stores 2:09 wanting AI sales optimization and here's 2:12 the interesting part these businesses 2:14 they don't want to hire full-time 2:15 developers because they're not Tech 2:17 businesses it doesn't make sense for 2:18 them they just want to pay someone to 2:20 build these Solutions quickly and why 2:22 this is huge well there are 33 million 2:24 small businesses in the us alone most of 2:27 them need or will need AI Solutions soon 2:30 there are few developers who know how to 2:31 build these AI systems so there is a 2:33 massive gap between the demand and the 2:35 talent there are two clear ways to 2:37 capitalize on this opportunity you can 2:38 join AI startups that are already 2:40 solving this problem they have massive 2:42 funding they raise millions of dollars 2:44 they're going to pay you a very good 2:45 salary the other option is that you help 2:47 regular small businesses Implement AI 2:49 through your own agency that's where the 2:51 opportunity is huge I've already talked 2:53 a lot about the first path on my channel 2:55 but in this video I want to talk about 2:56 the second path how to earn thousands of 2:58 dollars every month by helping small 3:00 businesses Implement AI I will share 3:02 with you a complete plan to get started 3:04 and land your first client in 30 days 3:07 First Step you have to choose the 3:08 service that you will offer this is 3:09 essentially the value you provide for 3:11 example you can pick a task and automate 3:13 it like document processing customer 3:15 service I'm going to give you a real 3:16 example two of my clients are automating 3:18 content translation for a company they 3:20 got a $3,400 project for this you can 3:23 also build AI agents that can do tasks 3:25 autonomously for a business you can 3:26 build voice agents that can answer phone 3:28 calls book appointments you can also 3:29 build custom a apps based on the 3:31 customer requirements it's important 3:32 that you pick one service to start with 3:34 because this will help you build case 3:36 studies which will allow you to get more 3:37 clients and build reputation for example 3:39 imagine that your service is building 3:41 custom a Apps for business owners or 3:43 Founders if you build three a apps for 3:45 different clients that's essentially 3:47 three different case studies that you 3:48 have and so if you go to a fourth 3:50 business owner and you tell them Hey 3:52 listen this is what we build for three 3:53 other business owners like you and this 3:55 is what we can build for you well it's 3:56 going to be much easier to convince him 3:58 to pay one massive problem that you will 4:00 encounter though is that most clients 4:01 they want a custom a app built but they 4:03 don't have tens of thousands of dollars 4:04 of budget for it this happened to me 4:06 with my very first client they wanted me 4:08 to build a complete education app with a 4:10 whole set of features in less than a 4:11 month on a small budget this wasn't 4:13 really interesting for me but instead of 4:15 losing a client what I like to do is 4:17 find AI tools that can help me do 80% of 4:20 the work for me and this is where 4:21 lovable comes in an AI tool that turns 4:24 your ideas into complete code instantly 4:26 and they were kind enough to sponsor 4:28 this video ultimately I was able to 4:29 charge this client $6,000 and the 4:31 project took me around 40 hours to 4:33 complete so that's essentially $150 per 4:36 hour and most of that time was spent on 4:38 customization and client strategy not on 4:40 writing basic code here is how you can 4:41 use lovables AI to deliver your paid 4:44 projects watch this I simply describe 4:46 what I need something like create a 4:47 negation app with reading assessments 4:49 progress tracking and AI power 4:51 suggestions to improve children's 4:52 reading skills lovable immediately 4:54 starts generating a full stack 4:55 application react front end with 4:56 Tailwind backend logic even super Bas 4:59 integration for the database so it helps 5:00 you go from concept to functional app in 5:02 seconds it's not going to get everything 5:04 you need right from the very first time 5:06 so you're going to need to continue 5:07 prompting and assisting it but this will 5:09 help you save an enormous amount of time 5:11 if you instruct it well you can get it 5:12 to write 80% of the code for you my 5:14 client was very happy with the result 5:16 this is the feedback that I got from 5:18 them clients don't really care if you 5:19 use AI tools or if you write code from 5:21 scratch they only care that the solution 5:23 works well that is delivered quickly and 5:25 at a good price this is precisely what 5:27 I've been telling you about the future 5:28 of development the developers who will 5:30 earn hundreds of thousands of dollars 5:31 aren't the ones who do it the old way 5:33 writing code line by line they're the 5:35 ones who do it the new way leveraging AI 5:37 to deliver 10x the value in half the 5:39 time there is no way you'll be able to 5:41 compete with them unless you use AI as 5:43 well lovable gives you five free 5:45 messages daily or up to 30 messages per 5:47 month that's enough to build your first 5:49 project and see the power for yourself 5:51 so check out the link in the description 5:52 to try it now let's get you your first 5:54 three clients the worst thing you can do 5:56 at this stage is just to randomly call 5:58 email a bunch of different businesses 5:59 you won't get replies you'll feel tired 6:01 you'll feel burned out and you'll most 6:02 likely give up so we're not going to do 6:04 this your first client should come from 6:06 your network this is by far the easiest 6:08 to get started this is how I got started 6:09 with my agency so here is what I want 6:11 you to do open LinkedIn and go in your 6:13 connections tab scroll through it and 6:16 check for anyone who could become a 6:17 potential client for you the best 6:19 clients have money so that they can pay 6:21 you obviously you have a good access to 6:22 them so you have spoken to them multiple 6:24 times they trust your skills and they do 6:26 something that you're interested in 6:27 personally I like to Target small 6:29 business business owners who make over a 6:30 million dollars in revenue and who are 6:32 not very technical example of good 6:33 clients can be dental clinics lawyers 6:36 real estate agents accounting firms 6:38 these guys usually have a lot of money 6:39 and they have repetitive tasks that are 6:41 not that hard to automate if you know 6:42 someone in your network who doesn't 6:44 really fit into those criteria but might 6:45 know someone else who does also reach 6:48 out to them they might give you an 6:49 introduction so those will become warm 6:51 leads as well I gave you the example of 6:53 dental clinics you probably know at 6:54 least one dentist yourself that you have 6:56 gone to in your life right well everyone 6:58 else in your network also goes to a 7:00 dentist and most likely it's not the 7:01 same one so if you ask them at least a 7:03 few people should be able to give you an 7:04 introduction so that's a bunch of extra 7:06 New Leads that you have generated you 7:08 remember the $6,000 project that I 7:10 mentioned earlier this was my very first 7:11 project for my agency and this came from 7:13 a referral from a friend of mine so I 7:15 didn't even know that client directly so 7:17 now what do you do after you reach out 7:19 to them how do you convince them that 7:20 they should pay you to build something 7:21 for them well the best way is if you 7:23 have a real case study of something that 7:25 you have done so you need to Showcase 7:26 your skills and for that you need to 7:28 build a demo something that they can see 7:30 what I personally really like to do is 7:32 build in public so you take an idea of 7:34 an air app or an air solution that would 7:35 benefit a business you build it and then 7:37 you share it on LinkedIn on YouTube you 7:38 can record a quick video it can even be 7:40 a loom video where you record your 7:41 screen yourself and you walk people 7:43 through this solution over time people 7:45 will see you as an expert and they will 7:46 see you as someone who can deliver then 7:48 when you reach out to your network try 7:49 to jump on a quick 15-minute call with 7:51 them in that call you can showcase your 7:53 demo in more details show what you can 7:54 do for them and ask if they're 7:55 interested if they are you should book a 7:57 new longer call this time to go more in 8:00 depth and see if you can work together 8:02 if they don't reply to your messages to 8:03 book a call record a quick one minute 8:06 loom video and send it to them basically 8:08 in the loom video you'll showcase a demo 8:09 of your AI services and then ask again 8:11 if you can book a quick call of them 8:13 ultimately most people will reply to you 8:15 since they are in your network and you 8:16 already know them let me show what's 8:18 possible when you put this system into 8:19 practice these are real projects that my 8:21 students have landed in the past few 8:23 months inside of our incubator program 8:25 Jose landed the $2,500 per month client 8:28 only 15 days after joining our incubator 8:30 this was his first ever client he's 8:32 helping us start to build an AI solution 8:34 we have Albert and Alex who landed a 8:35 $3,400 project to build an AI content 8:38 system for an education company we have 8:40 zad who landed a $10,000 project to 8:42 build an AI MVP for a startup and the 8:44 list goes on F landed a $4,500 project 8:47 to work with a company Z landed a $1,500 8:50 project with an $800 per month retainer 8:53 to build an AI voice agent for a law 8:55 firm there is a key pattern here for 8:57 many of them it was their first project 8:59 ever these projects were completed in a 9:00 few weeks or just a few months most of 9:02 the businesses that they worked with 9:04 were non- technical but they all needed 9:05 AI Solutions listen the window of 9:07 opportunity is now every business will 9:10 need AI the same way every business has 9:12 needed websites back in the day the 9:14 first wave of AI developers will get 9:15 most of these opportunities if you want 9:17 me and my team to help you get clients 9:19 go to the link in the description now to 9:21 benefit from this opportunity you will 9:22 need to learn how to create your own one 9:24 person coding business so I've made this 9:26 specific video for you check it out 9:28 thank you for watching Benders and 9:30 assalamu alikum
