n8n turns automation skills into income streams by letting you sell outcomes instead of "just workflows." Businesses happily pay for systems that save time, replace expensive SaaS, or add AI into their operations things like lead capture pipelines, CRM syncs, automated reporting, and AI content helpers. The fastest way to start is freelancing: set up n8n workflows for clients (lead routing, client onboarding, Zapier-to-n8n migrations) and charge setup + monthly retainers for maintenance. Next, package your best automations into paid templates—complete systems like AI email writers, invoice trackers, or YouTube content repurposers that can be sold again and again on marketplaces, with almost zero extra effort per sale. Once you’ve proven a workflow works, you can turn it into a micro-SaaS by putting a simple UI in front of n8n (with tools like Bubble or Softr), connecting via webhooks, and charging subscriptions through Stripe or Lemon Squeezy. Users pay for results (clips generated, emails sent, leads enriched), while n8n quietly runs everything in the background. If you like teaching, repurpose your automations into digital products: paid courses, workshops, or "automation bundles" that include templates, case studies, and demo videos, giving you leveraged income instead of only hourly work. Whether you sell your time (services), your tools (templates/micro-SaaS), or your knowledge (courses), n8n gives you a low-code engine to build, productize, and monetise smarter in 2026
