Today marks the official beginning of the FromZeroToAI project. The goal is simple: build a fully automated, AI-powered business generating $150,000/year — from scratch, on a minimal budget, in under 20 hours per week.
Step one was buying the domain name and setting up the base infrastructure.
- Domain name: fromzerotoai.com – $24.18
- Hosting: Already included with GoDaddy (no additional cost)
📊 Running Total: $24.18
🛠️ What You Set Up
- Installed WordPress on fromzerotoai.com
- Installed Elementor, Astra Theme, RankMath SEO, WPForms, and essential plugins
- Set up the homepage and “Start Here” pages using Elementor
- Created a Build Log intro page to link to the blog archive
✅ What’s Working
- The site is live and publicly accessible
- All core pages are functional
- First content is about to be published (this!)
⚠️ What’s Not Working
- Elementor import templates ran into errors
- Had to manually build the “Start Here” page section-by-section
- Will explore automation or import improvements later
📅 What’s Next
- Begin creating lead magnet or digital product
- Write out Week 1 content plan
- Set up email collection (Coming Soon)
