Video Pitches for Website Redesigns

Warm-network video-pitch method for AI website redesigns

Video published Aug 23, 2026 by Arlan Hamilton

Startup cost: Low startup cost (roughly $25/month for the AI website tool)

What It Is

Reach out to people in your existing network who own a small business with an outdated website, use an AI website builder (Lovable) to redesign their site as a demo, then send a short screen-recorded video (via Loom) walking them through the improved version and pitching it for around $300.

The Pitch

Hamilton frames this as a same-day money method: pick 5-10 people you already know who run a small local business (dry cleaner, salon, mechanic, etc.), rebuild their site with an AI tool for a few dollars in software cost, then pitch it via a personal video rather than a cold sales call. She cites a real example (a man named Max) who closed deals with one prospect over time, eventually making about $18,000 from a single relationship, and frames the offer as low-risk since it costs the prospect nothing to say no.

Who It’s Best For

Someone comfortable reaching out to their own personal or professional network and speaking briefly on camera, who wants a fast, low-cost way to test whether they can sell a service before committing to paid ads or cold outreach.

The Truth (as we see it)

The mechanic is legitimate and cheap to test, but it depends heavily on actually having a network with small-business owners in it and being willing to make the ask, which won't be true for everyone. The $300 price point and the $18,000 case-study figure come from Hamilton's own reported experience and should be read as an example outcome, not a guarantee. There's also a recurring nudge toward her paid $199 challenge throughout the video, worth knowing even though the core method is explained for free.
