How To Make Money With Claude: The Plan
Claude is best at long, careful, premium work.
That's where you should sell.
Pick ONE high-ticket Claude service.
Run the same daily tasks for 30 days.
Land 1-2 clients at premium rates (£500-£2,000 per gig).
Week 1 — Setup + Pick A Premium Service
Day 1 — Pick your Claude service
Choose ONE:
- Sales page first drafts (£500-£1,500 per page)
- Long-form blog posts (£500 per 3,000-word piece)
- Document summaries for executives (£75-£200 per doc)
- Cold email sequences (£500-£2,000 per sequence)
This guide assumes you picked sales page first drafts.
Day 2 — Set up your tools
Free Claude account at claude.ai.
Free Gmail.
Free Google Doc for tracking outreach.
Total cost: £0. Total time: 20 minutes.
Day 3 — Pick your buyer
Sales pages are bought by: course creators, coaches, SaaS founders, agency owners selling productised services.
Pick ONE category. Niche down. "All small business" is too broad.
Day 4 — Build your buyer list
Find 50 course creators on Twitter, Skool, and Udemy.
Find their LinkedIn, Twitter, or email.
Track in a Google Sheet.
Day 5 — Write your cold pitch in Claude
Use this prompt:
"Write a 5-sentence cold DM to a [BUYER TYPE] offering a sales page first draft for £500. Goal: book a free 15-min call. Friendly, specific, no fluff. Sign off as [YOUR NAME]."
Day 6 — Send your first 10 DMs
LinkedIn or Twitter or email. Track every send.
Day 7 — Send 10 more
Same template. Different 10 buyers.
Week 2 — First Sample + First Client
Day 8 — Follow up with everyone
Use this prompt:
"Write a 2-sentence value-first follow-up to my cold DM. Adds insight, doesn't pressure."
Day 9 — Reply to interest with a free preview
Use Claude with this prompt:
"Write the hero section + 3 bullet benefits for a sales page selling [THEIR PRODUCT] at [PRICE]. PAS framework. UK English. 200 words max."
Day 10 — Send the preview
Subject: "Quick draft for your [PRODUCT] page — 200 words attached."
Most buyers reply within 24 hours when they see real work.
Day 11-12 — Land client #1
Offer: full sales page draft for £500. 50% deposit. 5-day delivery.
If they say yes → invoice.
If they say no → ask why → fix and re-pitch.
Day 13 — Get the deposit
Stripe or PayPal. £250 in.
Day 14 — Write the full sales page in Claude
Use this prompt:
"Write a long-form sales page for [PRODUCT] selling at [PRICE]. PAS framework. Headline + sub. Story. 7 bullet benefits. 3 objection handles. FAQ. Urgency close. UK English. 1,500-2,500 words."
Polish for 1 hour. Send. Take final £250.
First £500 in. Plan working.
Week 3 — Lock In Premium Pricing
Day 15-17 — Send 30 more cold DMs
Add a one-line case study from client #1.
Reply rate jumps.
Day 18 — Build a simple portfolio page
Carrd or Notion (both free).
Show: hero section + full sales page from client #1 (anonymise if needed).
Day 19-20 — Follow up
Use the follow-up prompt.
Day 21 — Land client #2 — raise the price
Pitch £750 this time. Same offer. Same delivery.
If they push back → drop to £600. Hold the line.
Week 4 — Stack Recurring + Referrals
Day 22-25 — Deliver to both clients
Use Claude for drafts. Polish.
Day 26 — Pitch retainer to client #1
Offer: 1 sales page per month for £600/month.
Half take it.
Day 27 — Ask for testimonials + referrals
Use this prompt:
"Write a friendly 3-sentence email asking a happy client for a short testimonial AND a referral to 2 other [BUYER TYPE] who might need this. Make it easy for them."
Day 28-29 — Land client #3 from referrals
Referrals close 5x faster than cold pitches.
Day 30 — Tally
Month 1: £500 + £750 + £600 = £1,850.
Plus a £600/month retainer from client #1.
Month 2 starts at £600 recurring before you do anything.
What Most Claude Beginners Get Wrong
They use Claude for the same low-ticket work everyone uses ChatGPT for.
Don't.
Use Claude for the £500-£2,000 jobs where output quality decides the price.
That's the whole point.
How Much Can You Earn Following This Plan?
Real Boardroom beginner numbers:
- Month 1 — £1,500-£3,000.
- Month 3 — £5,000-£8,000.
- Month 6 — £10,000-£20,000.
- Month 12 — £25,000+/month (small Claude-powered agency).
The numbers are higher than the ChatGPT plan because the price-per-gig is higher.
What You Need For The Plan

1 hour a day for 30 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really make £1,500 in 30 days with Claude? Yes if you follow the plan and charge premium prices. The bottleneck is always pricing courage, not the AI tool.
Do I need to know how to write? No. Claude writes. You polish. Most beginners panic about their writing skill — clients only care about result.
Should I use Claude Pro or free? Start free. Upgrade to Pro (£18/month) once you're earning £1,000+/month and hit the free message limit.
What if my first sample sucks? Run the prompt again with "make it punchier" or "more emotional". Claude usually nails it on the second try.
What if a client wants 10 revisions? Cap revisions at 2 in the proposal. After that, charge £75/round.
Can I do this with no clients in my network? Yes. The plan is built for cold outreach. No network needed.
