Let's clear the air

You've seen the side-hustle pitches. This isn't one of them.

If we can't answer these out loud and in public, you shouldn't trust us with your money.

Not MLM. No recruiting.

There's no downline, nobody under you, and no affiliate link for you to push. You learn a skill, a local business pays you for it. That's the whole model.

Not selling to your friends.

Your clients are local businesses, and they never see your personal Facebook. Nobody you know has to find out until you want them to.

Not "passive income."

It's real work for real businesses. We won't pretend otherwise, and we make no promises about what you'll earn.

Where the Academy came from

The Academy is online. The way we teach was born at an in-person event.

The AI Unleashed Intensive was our in-person event, and it's where the teaching style comes from: learn it, build it, get help on the spot. The Academy brings that same approach online, so you can do it from home, at your own pace, with nothing to travel to. Here's what attendees said about the event.

It is a safe space where you can come as a beginner full of ideas and leave with friends that encourage and help you bring those ideas to life.

How it works

You weren't unable to learn. You were left to finish alone.

Most online courses leave you alone with the videos. Here you work through the training at your own pace, bring your questions to the weekly live coaching call, and get feedback until it works.

  1. 1

    Log in

    Start online, from home, with one clear next step. No travel, and no schedule to keep.

  2. 2

    Build along

    Build the real thing step by step, on your own time, in a practice account where mistakes cost nothing.

  3. 3

    Get feedback

    Stuck? Ask. Bring it to the weekly live coaching call or send your question, and a real person looks at your work and helps you past it.

  4. First client paid

    Every service ends at "you got paid," not at "you finished the videos."

Built for evenings and spare hours. Short online modules you can finish in one sitting after the house is quiet, or on a lunch break. Go at your own pace. It takes about a month of consistent evenings, and then you have the skill for good.
What you'll learn Courses in progress

Eleven services small businesses already pay for. Learn to build them, and learn to sell them.

Pick one to start. For every service on this list, we teach you two things: how to build it, step by step in your practice account, and how to sell it, meaning what to charge, how to find the business that needs it, and what to say. Straight talk: these courses are being built right now, and founding members get each one the moment it's ready. The weekly live coaching calls start on day one, so you're never sitting around waiting to learn.

Rates shown are commonly observed market rates for these services. They are not income promises or projections, and your results depend on your own effort and circumstances.

Is this for you?

Honest about who this fits, and who it doesn't.

A great fit if you're…

  • A parent working around family time
  • Employed and building a backup plan
  • Over 45 and ready for a restart
  • Looking for work, or tired of applying
  • Someone who's tried other things that didn't stick
  • Starting with no tech background at all

Probably not for you if you…

  • Need money this week
  • Want passive income without the work
  • Expect clients to be handed to you
  • Are looking for something to recruit people into

Questions

The questions you're actually asking.

Is this an in-person event or an online course?

Online, start to finish. The photos and reviews on this page come from the AI Unleashed Intensive, an in-person event we ran. The Academy is different: it's an online membership you work through from home, at your own pace, in your spare time. Weekly live coaching calls are there when you want help. There's nothing to travel to.

Are the courses ready yet?

Not yet, and we'd rather say so than pretend. We're building them now, starting with the services founding members ask for first, and each one releases to every member the moment it's done. The weekly live coaching calls start right away, so you can begin building in your practice account with a real person guiding you while the courses land.

I have no experience and no degree.

That's who this is built for. The build-it training assumes you've never touched this software, and the practice account means you're learning in a sandbox, not on someone's live business.

What does it actually cost me?

The membership price is on this page with no upsell hidden behind it. To serve real clients you'll eventually need your own Votel.ai agency account, and we tell you exactly what that costs before you spend a cent.

Am I just reselling a course?

No. You're learning a service you deliver to a real business that pays you directly. There's nothing to resell, no commission to chase, and we're not asking you to promote us.

I've tried other things and failed.

You were sold three starting points and zero finishing points. That's a different problem than not being able to do it. Every service here ends at "you got paid."

Will this work for me specifically?

We won't pretend to know. What we can promise is the skill, the assets, and a person who answers when you're stuck.

What if I hate it?

Finish 80% of any course and if you're not happy, you get a full refund.

Pick one skill. Finish it properly. Find your first client.

Walk away with the build, the price, the script, and a title of your own. All online, from home, on your own schedule.
