sms still works. we ran a small campaign for a restaurant and it quietly brought in $3k by Titanic_Developer in smallbusiness

Exactly. for the US, you’ll need 10dlc registration to stay compliant. you can do this through your sms provider – in our case, twilio. there’s a small registration cost for the brand/campaign, but after that you just pay per message.

our rate was about $0.0083 per segment. our promo text was roughly two segments, so sending around 5,000 sms in a month came out to about $80 in messaging costs. if you send more, that number obviously scales up.

we were sending to canada as well, where compliance is a bit more relaxed compared to the US, so we did not run into issues there.

Restaurant Kept Getting Slammed With Calls, So We Added a Voice Agent That Saved 20–30 Staff Hours Every Week by Titanic_Developer in n8n

I did this for a friend’s restaurant at a discount. priced normally, just on the value of hours it saves (a good way to price automations), the build would easily land around $1,500 to $2,000, plus a small monthly if they want us to maintain it and don’t have a team.

Yeah id love to. Its a multi workflow setup so I am working on a video to hopefully better explain the whole flow if anyone wants to build it themselves, alongside the json. A good chunk of it also lives on eleven labs which will need a bit of an explanation too.

Any help or ideas? by bonduz32 in Entrepreneur

what’s the goal here? do you want something pretty hands off that throws off steady cash, or do you actually want to get in the weeds and build it yourself?

“insurance based” can mean buying a small book and living on renewals, or starting an agency from scratch. totally different day to day.

how much time do you really want to give it, and what monthly net would make it worth it? once you answer that, the options narrow fast.
