  • Build the smallest useful sample or demo you can show before asking for payment.
  • Set a starter price, a clear delivery window and one simple way for customers to pay.
  • Contact 20 qualified prospects with a personalized message and a link to the sample.
  • Deliver the first order manually, ask for a testimonial and document every repeatable step.
