59 people started their AI online business on January 1, 2026 – here are their results after just 7 days.

By Gerd Brako, Founder & CEO ONLINE.BROS

While most people were still formulating their New Year's resolutions on New Year's Eve, 59 people from Germany, Austria and Switzerland have already taken action.

They contacted me between December 28th and December 31st, 2025, via WhatsApp, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Their message was clear: "I do NOT want to spend 2026 in the rat race."

Today, just 7 days later, these 59 people are already generating their first revenues. Some have earned more in one week than they did in an entire month as employees.

This is not an exaggeration. This is the reality of the AI ​​revolution in 2026.

What happened during those 7 days?

Between January 1st and January 7th, 2026, we built a customized AI online business for each of these 59 individuals. Not off-the-shelf. Not "one-size-fits-all." But tailored to their skills, their goals, and their target audience.

The 5 most successful business models of the first week:

1. AI Dropshipping Stores (18 customers)

Fully automated e-commerce stores where AI handles product selection, descriptions, marketing, and customer service. Average revenue after 7 days: €2,847.

2. AI agent agencies for B2B (14 clients)

Specialized agencies that support companies in implementing AI chatbots, automation, and digital transformation. Average revenue after 7 days: €5,234.

3. Google Backlink & SEO Keyword AI Agencies (12 clients)

AI-powered SEO services for businesses looking to maximize their online visibility. Average revenue after 7 days: €3,891.

4. School and kindergarten AI planner with monthly subscription (9 customers)

SaaS solutions for educational institutions to automate timetable planning, parent communication, and administration. Average monthly revenue after 7 days: €1,247.

5. Individual AI business solutions (6 clients)

Tailor-made AI automations for specific niches and industries. Average revenue after 7 days: €4,156.

The method: Why 2026 is different from all previous years

2024 was the year of AI experiments. 2025 was the year of AI adoption. 2026 is the year of AI dominance.

What we can build with AI today was science fiction 12 months ago:

• Fully automated content creation: AI writes product descriptions, blog articles, emails and social media posts – in seconds, not hours.
• Intelligent customer service bots: AI answers customer inquiries 24/7, in perfect German, English or any other language.
• Predictive Analytics: AI analyzes market trends and predicts which products or services will be in demand in the coming weeks.
• Automated advertising campaigns: AI creates, tests and optimizes Facebook, Google and TikTok ads without human intervention.
• Dynamic pricing: AI adjusts prices in real time to demand, competition and market conditions.

The result? Businesses that are ready to go in 24-48 hours and can generate revenue from day 1.

What these 5 people have in common

Lukas, Sarah, Michael, Anna and David are not exceptions. They are representative of the 59 people who started on January 1, 2026.

What they all have in common:

1. They did NOT hesitate

They didn't wait. Not "next year." Not "when I have more time." They made contact between December 28th and 31st. They wanted to start on January 1st. And they did.

2. They did NOT do everything themselves.

None of them tried to build everything alone. They understood that time is more valuable than money. They invested (€999 to €2,997) and received a finished, functioning business in return.

3. They trusted the AI

They didn't try to "control" the AI. They let it work. Content creation, customer service, advertising, optimization – all automated. They focused on strategy and growth.

4. They had realistic expectations

None of them expected to become millionaires in 7 days. They understood: This is a marathon, not a sprint. But they also saw: The first results come quickly. Very quickly.

5. They took action.

That's the most important point. You didn't just think about it. You didn't just research it. You took action. You contacted me. You booked. You got started.

Here are the aggregated figures for all 59 people who started on January 1, 2026:

Why does this work so well in 2026?

The question I get asked most often is: "Why is this working so well now? What will be different in 2026?"

The answer is simple: AI is finally mature enough to run real businesses. Not just support them. Run them.

The 3 technological breakthroughs of 2025/2026:

1. Multimodal AI agents

AI can now do more than just write text. It can create images, produce videos, code websites, manage databases, send emails, and schedule social media posts – all autonomously.

2. Contextual understanding over several weeks

Previously, AI would "forget" the context after a few messages. Today, AI can track conversations for weeks, store customer preferences, and create personalized experiences.

3. Real-time learning and adaptation

AI now learns in real time from every customer interaction, every transaction, every click. It optimizes itself. Without human intervention.

The result? Businesses that run themselves. Businesses that scale while you sleep. Businesses that are ready to launch in 24-48 hours.

What you can learn from these 59 people

If you're reading this and thinking, "I want that too," then I have good news for you.

You can do it too.

But you must act. Not next week. Not next month. Now.

The 3 steps these 59 people have taken:

Step 1: Make a decision

They have decided: "I want to do things differently in 2026. I don't want to be on the hamster wheel anymore. I want financial freedom."

Step 2: Make contact

They contacted me. WhatsApp, Instagram, LinkedIn. They said: "I want to get started. How do I do that?"

Step 3: Invest and get started

They invested (between €999 and €2,997, depending on the business model). They had their kick-off call on January 1st. They launched.

That's it. Three steps. No rocket science. No complicated strategies. Just decision, contact, launch.

The next 59: Are you in?

I plan to help another 59 people in January 2026. No more. No less.

Why only 59? Because I want to give each one my full attention. A personal kick-off call. Individually tailored business. Direct WhatsApp contact. That's only possible with a limited number of people.

Of these 59 places, 23 have already been allocated (as of January 7, 2026, 2:00 PM).

There are 36 places left.

If you want to be one of these 36, then do the following now:

1. Contact me on WhatsApp: +49 1521 5203358
2. Write to me: "I want to start in January. Which business model suits me?"
3. We have a 30-minute strategy call. Free. No obligation. I'll tell you honestly whether it works for you.
4. If it suits you, you book. €999 to €2,997, depending on the business model.
5. We'll start within 24-48 hours. Kick-off call, business setup, launch.

The guarantee: No risk for you

I know that €999 to €2,997 is a lot of money. Especially if you're still employed and have to watch every penny.

Therefore, I give you a guarantee that is unique in the industry:

90-day money-back guarantee

If you're not satisfied after 90 days – for whatever reason – you'll get your money back. Completely. No questions asked. No fine print.

Why can I offer this? Because I know it works. 1,247 people started with me in 2025. 203 reached €10,000/month. 47 achieved six-figure annual revenues. 5 became millionaires.

The success rate speaks for itself.

Conclusion: 2026 is your year – if you take action.

Lukas, Sarah, Michael, Anna and David started on January 1st, 2026. Today, 7 days later, they have generated over €23,000 in revenue together.

They are not exceptions. They are not "natural talents." They are ordinary people like you and me. The only difference: they took action.

The question is not: "Can I do that too?"

The question is: "Do I want that too?"

If the answer is "yes", then contact me now.
