Reported experience

  1. What they did

    The poster put an OpenClaw/Claude agent in a workspace with a personality config, a $50 budget, and a 60-day goal to start an online business with no audience. The agent explored business models, bought a domain, built a site, wrote a 58,000-word guide, then after 12 days of no sales used traffic/conversion data to pivot to a done-for-you agent setup service, adding a free diagnostic, email course, and four sub-agents for social, analytics, customer monitoring, and creative work.

  2. How it went

    It became profitable on day 15, with two overnight sales worth over $600 after organic Reddit posts drove traffic; the post says both buyers spent time with the free guide first. The original paid guide sold nothing in 12 days, Reddit ads got 35 clicks and 0 conversions, and a broken email form wasted 800+ visitors until fixed.

  3. Worth knowing

    Their clearest catch was instrumentation: a silent CORS bug broke email capture for about a week, so 800+ visitors produced zero signups until a server-side proxy fix.
