What this business does

Get X Media sells websites and ongoing digital marketing to local essential-service businesses, helping owners turn online searches into enquiries. Its current website offers SEO, advertising, email and Cortex reporting and claims 87+ active clients, without dating that count. Founder Corey Hayes described over twenty years in web marketing and a previous agency in Starter Story’s June 2023 interview. That profile dates Get X Media to August 2020; the website’s broader twenty-year history has unclear scope. The interview reports historical monthly revenue of $15,000, with currency unspecified and no audit. Services remain advertised; current revenue and profit are unknown.

Replication breakdown

01

Why it works — and where your opening is

Trade-business owners may struggle to coordinate website suppliers, advertising and enquiry follow-up; this is a customer hypothesis to test. Bringing those tasks into one accountable agency could reduce handoffs and help owners identify which enquiries become jobs, without guaranteeing savings. Hayes described demand from entrepreneur friends and choosing WordPress so customers could manage their sites. Repeat demand can arise from seasonal pages, campaign adjustments and monthly lead reviews. Trade familiarity and integrated reporting may differentiate Get X Media, but a newcomer must earn trust through scoped delivery and client-owned accounts. Neither proprietary software nor a subscription alone establishes a defensible advantage.
02

The money: revenue, cost, and margin

Monthly revenue$20K/mo

Estimated from technical complexity, people, tools, and delivery scope.

Starter Story’s June 2023 founder profile reports $15,000 monthly revenue, currency unspecified; no telephone verification or current audited profit is available. The proposed six-month startup costs US$15,000. Its US$30,000 monthly revenue indicator is solely startup capital multiplied by two, not observed revenue, a forecast or a guarantee. A proposed US$1,500 website costs US$900 directly, leaving US$600 contribution before acquisition, overhead and tax. Proposed US$600 monthly care costs US$250 directly, leaving US$350 on that same basis. Paid development, ownership, delivery, support, software, payment fees, acquisition and reserves consume cash; revenue is not profit.
03

Where the revenue comes from

Business owners buy Get X Media’s website projects and recurring marketing services. The current homepage lists monthly Foundation, Growth and Scale packages at CAD1,750, CAD3,500 and CAD5,500+, with website design from CAD3,500. Its Google Ads offer starts with a CAD1,500 monthly budget; the displayed example divides roughly CAD1,150 into advertising and CAD350 into management, describing a fee of thirty percent of spend below CAD3,500. These are advertised offers, not verified transactions. Consultation and agreed scope lead to paid delivery; actual invoice timing and revenue mix are unknown. A replica should distinguish its own service fees from client-funded advertising.
04

Tools you need to replicate it

In the June 2023 interview, Hayes explicitly named a custom WordPress system, ClickUp, SEMrush, Surfer SEO, Ahrefs, Google Analytics, ChatGPT and Agency Analytics. This is dated self-report, not a current inventory; directory metadata alone proves no deployment. The current website describes Cortex as an in-house reporting platform and offers WordPress, Astro or Next.js website builds. Current backend, database and payment vendors remain undisclosed. For the proposed agency, hosted WordPress, a CRM and client-authorized analytics are recommendations. Use human-approved copy and separated client access; do not present the proposed stack as Get X Media’s internal architecture.

Success stories from this field

Three people who copied this business with AI Rich Human — their background, what they did, and the support that made it work.

Story by · Ravi Herrera

Ravi Herrera — from delivery driver to copying a $20K/mo business: Website and marketing

I am not going to pretend this was easy. It took four months before anyone paid me a cent. I drove deliveries for 10 years, paid per drop, my back and my bank account both aching. Then a friend sent me a link to AI Rich Human. I expected another "get rich online" course and almost closed the tab. Instead I found real businesses that already make money — named companies with real revenue — and, for Website and marketing, a copy-and-execute plan broken down to the numbers. Their breakdown answered the three questions I actually had: how much to put in (about $15K), what to build it on (Google Shopping, Zendesk), and where the customers come from (Word of mouth, Pay Per Click Advertising). Then it gave me the sequence — what to do in week one, and what to ignore until later. I expected a course and got a technical partner. Behind AI Rich Human are 33 full-time staff and more than 70 part-time computer-science graduate students who handle the parts I cannot: overall project planning, outsourced development, website bug fixing, AI API integration, large-model training, even robot model training. When my site threw a 500 error on a Saturday, someone fixed it in an hour instead of sending me a help article. I worked through the checklist in order. Google Shopping, Zendesk first, then Word of mouth, Pay Per Click Advertising, then the outreach script — and two paying clients inside a month. The headline budget of about $15K is not a day-one number; I spent the minimum that could produce one customer and let the rest come out of earnings. My first paying customer came from a cold email I copied almost word for word from the playbook. I was scared to hit send. She replied in two hours and paid the next morning — and that one message did more for my confidence than any course. I undercharged for two months out of fear. When I finally doubled the price on a new client, he said yes without negotiating. The cheap clients had been the difficult ones all along. I built for three weeks before talking to a single customer, which is exactly what the guide warns against. My first five conversations changed the offer completely. I wish I had done those five calls in week one. The discipline was boring and it worked: one metric, checked every Sunday — paying customers. Growth meant more of the same channel. A flat week meant a different offer, not a different business. There is no office and no boss. Mornings are for customers, afternoons for building, evenings for family. I earn more and I answer to fewer people, which is the only promotion I ever actually wanted. My brother laughed when I told him. My old manager said I was throwing away a stable job. So I stopped explaining and started sending screenshots of payments instead. Nobody argues with a bank notification. Today my copy of it pays me every month. The business I copied runs about $20K/mo — I am not at that scale, and I don't need to be: I was earning around $2,000 a month as a delivery driver in Adelaide, and this already beats that, with room to grow. I am not a genius and I cannot code. What changed was copying a proven plan with a team behind me. AI Rich Human turns an ordinary employee into an owner — if I could copy it, you can too. Four months is a long time. It is still shorter than any degree I ever finished. The project I copied, in full: http://www.airichhuman.com/stories/starterstory-526-getxmedia-com?lang=en
Story by · Alina Andersen

Alina Andersen — from caregiver to copying a $20K/mo business: Website and marketing

I read the whole plan twice before I believed a word of it. For 13 years I looked after elderly patients in their homes — lifting, cleaning, paid almost nothing. A colleague forwarded me AI Rich Human during a lunch break. I scrolled past the hype and landed on the part that mattered: actual companies, actual revenue, and a step-by-step breakdown of Website and marketing written for someone with no budget and no team. People at work found out and made jokes about "internet money". I stopped defending it and just showed the payout screen. The jokes stopped when the numbers got boring and regular. The plan was brutally specific: a launch budget of about $15K, the exact tools it runs on (Google Shopping, Zendesk), the revenue channels that actually convert (Word of mouth, Pay Per Click Advertising), and the first steps to land a paying customer. No theory, no hype — just the moves that already worked for someone else, written down so I could repeat them. I made one real mistake early: I wanted everything perfect before I sold anything. Two weeks passed — I had a logo, a website, and zero customers. The plan says it plainly: sell first, build second. The moment I sent five rough cold messages, the business started moving. I blocked out evenings and did exactly what the sheet said: Google Shopping, Zendesk set up, Word of mouth, Pay Per Click Advertising opened, the first-customer email sent. Two clients signed within three weeks. I never needed the whole $15K up front — I put in just enough to get one person to pay, then recycled that money. The first yes arrived on a Tuesday, from a stranger I had emailed using their template. I rewrote maybe four words. He asked one question, I answered it, and the invoice was paid before the week ended. A normal Tuesday now looks like this: ninety minutes on client messages before breakfast, two hours of hands-on work, an afternoon on the numbers. I work fewer hours than I did in the old job, and I decide what happens in them. That part I still can't get used to. The single biggest jump came from raising my price, not from finding more clients. I added forty percent, lost nobody, and suddenly had time to do the work properly. What actually saved me was the team. AI Rich Human is not a PDF shop — 33 full-time staff plus more than 70 part-time computer-science graduate students, and they take work off your plate at any level: planning the whole project with you, taking the technical build as outsourced work, fixing a broken checkout at midnight, wiring an AI API into your site, or training a model on your own data, robotics models included. When my payment page died on a Friday night, a real engineer answered. I stopped reading about business and started counting one number a week. If paying customers went up, I repeated whatever I had done. If they didn't, I changed the price or the pitch. That was the whole system. My version is small and it is mine. It earns less than the $20K/mo the original does — but more than the $2,300 a month I made as a caregiver in Porto, and it grows while I sleep. I cannot code and I have no rich uncle. I had a plan, a link, and a team I could call. That was enough, and it can be enough for you. By the third read I had already started. That is usually how belief arrives.

Story by · Hiroshi Demir

Hiroshi Demir — from security guard to copying a $20K/mo business: Website and marketing

I didn't quit my job. I built this at night, after my shift, on a borrowed laptop. I stood at the same gate for 16 years as a security guard, twelve-hour rounds, minimum wage. I found AI Rich Human through a search I had almost given up on. What kept me there was not a promise but a spreadsheet: Website and marketing, what it costs to start, which tools it runs on, and how the first customer actually arrives. What I got was not a course but a build sheet — the launch budget (about $15K), the stack (Google Shopping, Zendesk), the channels that actually convert (Word of mouth, Pay Per Click Advertising), and the order to do things in. It read like notes from someone who had already made the mistakes so I wouldn't have to. So I followed it, step by step. I set up Google Shopping, Zendesk, opened Word of mouth, Pay Per Click Advertising first, and used their first-customer script to land my first two paying clients within a few weeks. The plan lists a full launch budget of about $15K, but nobody spends that on day one — I started with the smallest slice that could produce a paying customer, and reinvested from the revenue. I sent eleven messages before anyone answered. The twelfth person — a small studio owner — replied "how much?" and paid that afternoon. Eleven rejections cost me nothing but an evening. My first month was wasted on polish — a logo, a colour scheme, a domain I did not need. Nobody bought anything. Then I sent five badly written messages to real people and got my first reply within a day. Sell first, decorate later. Nobody warns you about pricing. My first price was so low that I was busy all day and still broke. On the third client I raised it by forty percent and nobody blinked. That same client later sent me two referrals. My mother asked, twice, whether this was a scam. The third time she asked, it was to find out how much I was making. I did not convince anyone with words — the transfers did it. I still get up early, but now the first hour belongs to me, not to a commute. Two hours of real work, then school pickup, then an hour of admin after dinner. Same number of hours, completely different life. The part nobody advertises: there is a bench behind the plan. 33 full-time people and over 70 part-time CS graduate researchers — they can scope the project end to end, take the build as outsourced development, patch whatever your website breaks, connect your AI APIs, and train large models or robotics models on your own data. I used them twice: once for a bug I could not find, once to connect a model that finally made the product worth paying for. I also learned to trust numbers over fear. Every week I tracked one thing: paying customers. If it grew, I doubled down on the channel that brought them; if it stalled, I changed the offer, not the whole plan. A year ago I was a security guard in Busan on about $2,600 a month. Today this copy pays me more than that, and the business I copied is doing $20K/mo — proof the ceiling is far above me. Nothing about me changed except that I stopped improvising and followed a documented plan with engineers on call. I kept my salary until the new income was real.
