How can you make money from OpenClaw? Like how can you spin up these OpenClaw instances, these sub-agents, these digital employees that can go out and make you money while you sleep? Is it even possible? Well, in today's episode, I brought on Nick and he shows a tactical tutorial for how to spin up multiple OpenClaw machines in a virtual instance, how you can be automating tasks on Upwork and

Chapter 4: What is the design-thinking framework for automation?

95.775 - 117.248 Nick Vasilescu

And yeah, we're seeing it on X, like people who are deploying OpenClaw for kind of executives or individuals who are super busy. They're making thousands of dollars, you know, setting OpenClaw up, getting it up and running for these people and managing it for them. So I think there's a huge opportunity here. And yeah, just excited to jump in.

I want people to know how they can actually make a dollar from this. Is that a commitment, Nick, that you are willing to make to us?

Chapter 6: What are the differences between sub-agents, tasks, and skills?

144.278 - 145.901 Greg Isenberg

Absolutely. Absolutely.

0

146.482 - 165.255 Nick Vasilescu

I'm not going to hold back anything. In fact, I think OpenClaw is a tool that allows us to be able to do the things that we have always been able to make money from, like automation with AI, but do it even better. And I'm going to show you how to get it all set up so you can do that and the wedge to get going.

Chapter 7: What is the process for building a TikTok trend-hunting agent?

0

166.317 - 189.379 Nick Vasilescu

Let's do it. Yeah. So I guess jumping right in, as far as getting set up with OpenClaw, you can see here, this is Orgo. This is our startup. You don't have to use Orgo to get started with OpenClaw. Just full disclaimer, this is what I'm using. And what I'm going to do is I have a project here. You can see I have a couple projects. And I have Greg. I set you up a project.

189.439 - 214.184 Nick Vasilescu

I hope you enjoy your five computers. And so you can imagine, Greg, let's say you're a business owner and you have a busy life. You know, you got all the podcasts going on. You have all these businesses you're running, the agency, the idea browser, all this stuff. And you need you need help automating some stuff. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to come in. I'm scrappy, Nick.

0

214.585 - 238.626 Nick Vasilescu

I'm going to come in and I'm going to help automate some things in your business, in your life, you know, as a busy executive. And I'm going to get you set up with OpenClaw. So when you open up a computer here, you can see I have it open. This is the Cloudbot computer I made for you. If I actually just type in OpenClaw TUI, this will open up OpenClaw in the terminal.

Chapter 8: What closing advice does the guest offer for aspiring automation developers?

238.827 - 258.895 Nick Vasilescu

And you can see I actually already started like, hey, I'm Greg Eisenberg and it's all ready to get set up. And so actually what I could do is, um, I could invite you to this project and then you'd be able to do this as well. Like in your terminal, you'd be able to spin this up and now you're talking to open claw. So, um, super easy to get set up. Once again, you don't have to use Orgo.

258.955 - 279.636 Nick Vasilescu

You can use whatever you want. You could use, I know, uh, Manus just dropped their, uh, their own version of one-click deployment OpenClaw. Also, Kimmy launched their version as well. X is down right now, so we can't actually pull it up on Twitter or anything. But Kimmy launched their version. And so there's all these options as far as getting started. You could use a Mac Mini, whatever.

280.257 - 306.811 Nick Vasilescu

So the key here, Greg, with OpenClaw and actually creating money from it is to have the wedge to know what is the specific use case in a person's business that we're going to automate first. Because When you see OpenClaw on Twitter, it's very much a personal assistant. It's exciting. It's fun. But all the demos that go viral, including me, I get it. I'm guilty of this too.

0

307.392 - 335.804 Nick Vasilescu

All the demos that go viral are a little bit... you know, kind of toyish. They're a little flashy. But the real power is in finding the thing that actually, you know, drives business outcomes, saves time for a business, finding that and building the automation around that. So, I have something running here. This is my open claw doing looking up products for a business that I deployed for.

0

336.104 - 359.455 Nick Vasilescu

This is a promotional distributorship. And what this is doing is it's looking up products and actually downloading all the product information. And then like parsing all that information, there's all these reports it needs to download and then uploading that into a Zoho CRM so it can essentially, you know, create a central source of truth for this client.

360.156 - 375.874 Nick Vasilescu

So this is a perfect example here of like actually creating an agent that OpenClaw deploys to be able to automate something end to end. So just to recap, are we all good so far?

376.664 - 402.495 Greg Isenberg

Yeah, so a few things I just want to talk about. So one thing is when you showed that Orgo screen, you had like five machines running. So what's interesting is I've got my Mac Mini going. I've got one instance. So using something like this is cool because you can have multiple instances going, right? And you can see them all in one view. So that's really cool.

402.516 - 404.578 Greg Isenberg

That was sort of an aha moment for me.

405.065 - 422.373 Nick Vasilescu

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. It's like everyone, you know, as far as where you deploy your, your main open claw, you can see here, I like, I starred the main one. Uh, and so that's like, you could have that wherever, but what people don't realize is open claw can spawn sub agents.
