Write an 8-10 minute educational YouTube script using neutral confident tone. Open with hook: 'Starting with no clients and zero experience, this is how you build a profitable 1-person AI business in 2026. Every step is documented with real-world examples.' Structure must follow: 1) Documented journey from zero to first clients (focus on specific actions not vague concepts), 2) Agency setup (domain registration, minimal logo design, no-code website setup), 3) Lead generation (cold email templates, targeted LinkedIn tactics), 4) Sales process (consultation framework, payment terms), 5) Scaling (delegating tasks, automating workflows). Use 2026-specific AI tools like Claude 3, DALL-E 3, and no-code platforms. Close with soft CTA: 'Check the link below for a free checklist to map your first 90 days.' Avoid technical jargon, keep examples concrete.
