WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.000 Hey, and welcome back to the Deep Dive. We've 00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:05.139 got a stack of sources here today, and you send 00:00:05.139 --> 00:00:07.660 in some really interesting stuff focused entirely 00:00:07.660 --> 00:00:11.580 on one thing, making money with AI here in 2025. 00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:13.800 Right. It feels like everyone's talking about 00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:15.960 AI, but usually it's the flashy stuff, isn't 00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:19.120 it? Like chat GPT writing novels or mid -journey 00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.359 creating wild digital art. Exactly. The AI that 00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.239 grabs the headlines, the consumer -facing bits 00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:28.260 we all see. But this source you shared. Seven 00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:30.760 underrated AI business models making money in 00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.759 2025. It points to something a little different. 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:37.539 It talks about this quiet revolution happening, 00:00:37.740 --> 00:00:40.359 you know, kind of in the digital shadows. That 00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:42.719 phrase really stuck out to me, too. It highlights 00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.000 savvy entrepreneurs who are generating significant 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.060 income. The source mentioned six and even seven 00:00:48.060 --> 00:00:51.020 figures using AI in what it calls unglamorous 00:00:51.020 --> 00:00:53.380 practical applications. Yeah. And the wild part 00:00:53.380 --> 00:00:55.240 is it says most people have never even heard 00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:57.119 of these specific opportunities. They're not 00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:59.009 the. obvious things you might guess, it's about 00:00:59.009 --> 00:01:01.509 applying AI to solve problems in ways that, get 00:01:01.509 --> 00:01:04.769 this, the source claims, can print money on autopilot, 00:01:04.870 --> 00:01:07.469 which, okay, sounds a bit like sci -fi, right? 00:01:07.650 --> 00:01:09.849 It's a metaphor, of course, but I think it captures 00:01:09.849 --> 00:01:12.430 the potential for automation and scalability 00:01:12.430 --> 00:01:15.269 these models offer. It's less about the AI itself 00:01:15.269 --> 00:01:18.670 being magic and more about using AI to build 00:01:18.670 --> 00:01:22.590 systems that do a lot of the grunt work automatically. 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:25.299 Totally. So the mission for this deep dive is 00:01:25.299 --> 00:01:29.099 to really unpack these seven underrated but incredibly 00:01:29.099 --> 00:01:32.260 profitable AI business models. The source highlights 00:01:32.260 --> 00:01:35.459 to understand how they're like quietly creating 00:01:35.459 --> 00:01:38.400 significant wealth in 2025. Right. Because the 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.780 source is pretty clear. The AI revolution. It's 00:01:41.780 --> 00:01:43.840 not something coming later. It's happening now. 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.060 And acting on it right now offers a chance to 00:01:47.060 --> 00:01:49.319 build some serious income streams before, well, 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:51.260 maybe everyone else catches on. It definitely 00:01:51.260 --> 00:01:53.140 emphasizes that crucial window of opportunity. 00:01:53.620 --> 00:01:56.060 Being an early adopter, experimenting and building 00:01:56.060 --> 00:01:58.260 seems to be key, according to the source. Right. 00:01:58.379 --> 00:01:59.760 It makes you want to lean in and see what these 00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.560 opportunities actually are. OK, so let's let's 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:04.239 just jump into the first one, the source details. 00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:05.819 And honestly, this one, it kind of surprised 00:02:05.819 --> 00:02:08.520 me by how accessible it sounds. AI generated 00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:12.729 TikTok and Instagram reels. Yes, this taps into 00:02:12.729 --> 00:02:15.990 the explosion of short form video. The core idea 00:02:15.990 --> 00:02:19.169 is using AI to automate almost the entire content 00:02:19.169 --> 00:02:22.569 creation process for faceless social media pages. 00:02:22.669 --> 00:02:25.710 Fully automate like ideas, scripts, voiceovers, 00:02:25.750 --> 00:02:28.639 editing. Everything needed to make the video. 00:02:28.819 --> 00:02:30.919 That's what the source suggests. And individuals 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:33.659 are reportedly running multiple accounts like 00:02:33.659 --> 00:02:36.319 this, essentially becoming AI -powered content 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.919 factories, making over $10 ,000 per month from 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.159 sponsorships, affiliate marketing, and creator 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.400 funds. Wait, you can make $10 ,000 a month or 00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:46.199 more from short videos you're not even in, just 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.419 automating the whole thing? I mean, wow, that's 00:02:48.419 --> 00:02:50.699 pretty wild automation. It's profitable precisely 00:02:50.699 --> 00:02:53.759 because of that. AI handling the scripting, voice, 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.319 and editing drastically reduces the time and 00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:58.080 skill needed per video compared to traditional 00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.620 methods. And then there's the platform's viral 00:03:00.620 --> 00:03:02.960 potential engaging content, however it's made, 00:03:03.060 --> 00:03:05.860 can get massive reach quickly. Plus, having multiple 00:03:05.860 --> 00:03:08.680 monetization paths helps. Okay, give me the case 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:10.199 study. The source mentions David, right? The 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:12.960 22 -year -old. Right. David saw the huge engagement 00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.360 in the motivational niche on TikTok. His workflow 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:20.000 was super simple. He used ChatGPT for ideas and 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.460 scripts. Eleven Labs AI for a high -quality voiceover, 00:03:23.539 --> 00:03:26.479 and CapCut's AI features to automatically sync 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:28.919 the voice with dramatic stock footage and add 00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.400 on -screen captions. And what kind of results 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:34.699 did he see? In just five months, his page blew 00:03:34.699 --> 00:03:38.639 up to 2 .3 million followers. That audience size 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:41.360 is gold for sponsorships. The source reports 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.280 he's making $21 ,000 per month largely through 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.020 those deals, all driven by videos where the AI 00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:49.699 did most of the heavy lifting. 21 ,000 a month 00:03:49.699 --> 00:03:51.659 from motivational clips without ever showing 00:03:51.659 --> 00:03:54.439 his face or using his own voice. That's kind 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:55.979 of mind -bending when you think about it. I guess 00:03:55.979 --> 00:03:57.599 I have seen those types of accounts scrolling 00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:59.520 through TikTok or Reels. Yeah, they're everywhere 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.039 now. Other common examples include stoicism quotes 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.080 over scenic footage, crazy facts channels, or 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.199 business and finance tips using animated text 00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:09.699 and visuals. So if somebody wanted to try this, 00:04:09.780 --> 00:04:11.639 what are the first steps? The source recommends 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.139 starting by picking a high -engagement niche. 00:04:14.659 --> 00:04:17.449 Then... assemble your basic ai tool stack something 00:04:17.449 --> 00:04:21.250 like chat gpt for scripts 11 labs for voice and 00:04:21.250 --> 00:04:23.930 caps it or in video for editing okay consistency 00:04:23.930 --> 00:04:26.970 is key post two three videos daily to feed those 00:04:26.970 --> 00:04:29.470 platform algorithms once you build an audience 00:04:29.470 --> 00:04:31.910 you monetize through sponsorships affiliate links 00:04:31.910 --> 00:04:35.269 and creator funds and the pro tip here it mentions 00:04:35.269 --> 00:04:38.230 human engagement Even if it's a faceless page. 00:04:38.470 --> 00:04:40.829 Right. The source stresses that replying to comments, 00:04:40.910 --> 00:04:44.029 maybe doing occasional Q &As via text or AI voice 00:04:44.029 --> 00:04:46.730 without showing your face, helps build a community. 00:04:46.870 --> 00:04:49.370 It signals authenticity to the platform algorithms 00:04:49.370 --> 00:04:52.129 and keeps people engaged. It's adding just enough 00:04:52.129 --> 00:04:54.870 human interaction. That makes sense. It's not 00:04:54.870 --> 00:04:57.220 fully autopilot, I guess, but... Pretty close. 00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.740 OK, so that's short form video. What about like 00:04:59.740 --> 00:05:01.939 the bigger brother, YouTube? The source talks 00:05:01.939 --> 00:05:04.579 about AI driven YouTube automation. It's a very 00:05:04.579 --> 00:05:07.180 similar concept, but adapted for YouTube's platform 00:05:07.180 --> 00:05:10.120 and longer content potential. It's about running 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.660 faceless channels where AI handles the bulk of 00:05:12.660 --> 00:05:15.660 the content creation, scripting, voiceover, editing, 00:05:15.819 --> 00:05:18.480 even finding visuals. Right. And these channels, 00:05:18.540 --> 00:05:20.740 according to the source, are generating anywhere 00:05:20.740 --> 00:05:24.500 from $10 ,000 to $50 ,000 plus per month. $50 00:05:24.500 --> 00:05:27.209 ,000 plus? Just from YouTube ads, or is that? 00:05:27.370 --> 00:05:29.709 Ad revenue is a major part, yes, once you qualify. 00:05:29.990 --> 00:05:32.290 Right. But also sponsorships and affiliate marketing, 00:05:32.430 --> 00:05:35.089 just like with the shorter platforms. The profitability 00:05:35.089 --> 00:05:37.610 comes from the scalability. The source claims 00:05:37.610 --> 00:05:40.209 up to 80 % automation, allowing one person to 00:05:40.209 --> 00:05:42.189 produce multiple videos per week. And again, 00:05:42.370 --> 00:05:45.850 zero on -camera presence needed. Correct. That's 00:05:45.850 --> 00:05:47.970 a big draw for people who aren't comfortable 00:05:47.970 --> 00:05:50.250 performing or don't want to be the face of a 00:05:50.250 --> 00:05:53.689 channel. AI also helps with generating SEO -optimized 00:05:53.689 --> 00:05:55.889 scripts, which is crucial for getting discovered 00:05:55.889 --> 00:05:57.930 and ranking on YouTube. Okay, the case study 00:05:57.930 --> 00:06:00.930 here is Jake, the 24 -year -old. Jake was interested 00:06:00.930 --> 00:06:03.629 in personal finance and investing. He used ChatGPT 00:06:03.629 --> 00:06:05.930 for topic research and to draft video scripts. 00:06:06.310 --> 00:06:08.829 Eleven Labs provided the voiceover, and then 00:06:08.829 --> 00:06:11.600 he used Pictree AI. Pictry takes a script and 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.839 automatically finds and inserts relevant stock 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.540 footage and B -roll. Oh, so the AI is even handling 00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:18.920 the visual side, finding the right clips to go 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.500 with the voiceover. Exactly. He automated the 00:06:21.500 --> 00:06:24.329 creation of five videos per week. In just nine 00:06:24.329 --> 00:06:26.829 months, his channel hit over 100 ,000 subscribers 00:06:26.829 --> 00:06:30.769 and was generating $27 ,000 per month purely 00:06:30.769 --> 00:06:33.829 from YouTube ad revenue. $27 ,000 a month just 00:06:33.829 --> 00:06:36.689 from ads on automated finance videos. Wow. So 00:06:36.689 --> 00:06:38.129 you really don't ever need to show your face, 00:06:38.230 --> 00:06:39.670 huh? It's kind of hard to wrap your head around. 00:06:39.889 --> 00:06:41.850 It shifts the focus from personal presence to 00:06:41.850 --> 00:06:44.850 strategic content creation and automation. Other 00:06:44.850 --> 00:06:47.509 popular niches for this model include motivational 00:06:47.509 --> 00:06:50.509 stoicism, tech and gadget reviews based on specs, 00:06:50.670 --> 00:06:53.009 and business finance explainers. What does it 00:06:53.009 --> 00:06:55.290 take to get started with this one? Seems similar 00:06:55.290 --> 00:06:58.329 to Reels. Pretty much. Find a high -demand niche 00:06:58.329 --> 00:07:01.050 with good ad potential. Build your AI toolkit 00:07:01.050 --> 00:07:05.410 chat GPT for scripts, 11 Labs, or Play .ht for 00:07:05.410 --> 00:07:09.149 voice, Pictree AI or InVideo for editing. Upload 00:07:09.149 --> 00:07:11.310 consistently to feed the algorithm. Once eligible, 00:07:11.550 --> 00:07:13.850 monetize through ads, sponsorships, and affiliate 00:07:13.850 --> 00:07:15.810 links. And the pro tip, it was something about 00:07:15.810 --> 00:07:18.910 thumbnails, I think. Yes. Even though the video 00:07:18.910 --> 00:07:21.329 automated, the thumbnail is critical for getting 00:07:21.329 --> 00:07:24.129 clicks on YouTube. The source recommends outsourcing 00:07:24.129 --> 00:07:26.250 thumbnail design to freelancers on platforms 00:07:26.250 --> 00:07:28.930 like Fiverr. A professionally designed compelling 00:07:28.930 --> 00:07:31.329 thumbnail can drastically improve your click 00:07:31.329 --> 00:07:33.490 -through rate and channel growth. That's a smart 00:07:33.490 --> 00:07:36.029 detail. Got to get that click. Okay, moving into 00:07:36.029 --> 00:07:38.089 something different now, not video production. 00:07:38.449 --> 00:07:41.970 The source calls this the AI ghostwriter and 00:07:41.970 --> 00:07:44.910 content partner. This model leverages AI for 00:07:44.910 --> 00:07:47.449 professionals who have valuable knowledge but 00:07:47.449 --> 00:07:50.350 zero time or inclination to write content themselves. 00:07:51.139 --> 00:07:54.819 Think busy CEOs, consultants, doctors, lawyers, 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.720 anyone who needs a strong online presence on 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.600 platforms like LinkedIn or blogs but hates writing. 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.399 So you basically interview them or they send 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.899 you voice notes and you use AI to turn that into 00:08:05.899 --> 00:08:07.860 polished writing. That's the process this work 00:08:07.860 --> 00:08:10.420 outlines. You get the raw ideas, interview a 00:08:10.420 --> 00:08:12.839 voice note, use AI for transcription, then AI 00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:15.000 for the initial draft, and finally you apply 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.370 human polishing and strategic refinement. Why 00:08:17.370 --> 00:08:19.689 is this particularly profitable? It sounds like 00:08:19.689 --> 00:08:21.910 enhanced ghostwriting. It's highly profitable 00:08:21.910 --> 00:08:24.970 because it's a high value B2B service. Time is 00:08:24.970 --> 00:08:27.389 incredibly valuable to these professionals and 00:08:27.389 --> 00:08:30.290 content is crucial for their personal brand and 00:08:30.290 --> 00:08:33.210 business growth. Right. AI significantly reduces 00:08:33.210 --> 00:08:35.629 the time you spend drafting, allowing you to 00:08:35.629 --> 00:08:37.850 take on more clients. And it fits perfectly into 00:08:37.850 --> 00:08:40.789 a recurring monthly retainer model. Ah, the retainer. 00:08:40.809 --> 00:08:43.169 That predictability has got to be nice. Absolutely. 00:08:43.389 --> 00:08:45.649 While AI does the heavy lifting of drafting. 00:08:46.509 --> 00:08:48.950 Your human skills in conducting effective interviews, 00:08:49.190 --> 00:08:51.230 understanding the client's voice and strategy, 00:08:51.429 --> 00:08:53.809 and adding that final polish are what make the 00:08:53.809 --> 00:08:56.230 service premium and justify the retainer. The 00:08:56.230 --> 00:08:58.210 case study mentioned Maria, a former executive 00:08:58.210 --> 00:09:01.370 assistant. Yes. Maria saw this pain point firsthand 00:09:01.370 --> 00:09:04.789 with previous bosses. She started her AI content 00:09:04.789 --> 00:09:07.789 partner service. Her process for one client, 00:09:07.909 --> 00:09:10.990 a tech CEO, involves a scheduled 30 -minute weekly 00:09:10.990 --> 00:09:14.639 call she recorded. She used Otter .ai to transcribe 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.039 the call and then fed the transcript to Claude3, 00:09:17.220 --> 00:09:19.559 prompting it to draft two LinkedIn articles based 00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:22.120 on the conversation. So AI drafts, but she's 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.240 doing the client management, the recording, and 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:26.980 the final human edit. That makes sense. Precisely. 00:09:27.139 --> 00:09:30.539 That focused human input is critical. She quickly 00:09:30.539 --> 00:09:33.960 signed three CEOs, each on a $2 ,500 per month 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.539 retainer. That's $7 ,500 per month for just a 00:09:37.539 --> 00:09:39.759 few hours of active work per client per week. 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:42.000 Seven and a half grand a month, helping busy 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.419 execs get their thoughts onto LinkedIn. That's 00:09:44.419 --> 00:09:47.159 really clever. Leveraging AI to solve a real 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:49.120 problem for people who can afford to pay for 00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.659 a solution. It taps into that specific need. 00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:54.299 Other applications include turning presentations 00:09:54.299 --> 00:09:56.159 or interviews into thought leadership articles, 00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:59.139 helping experts draft book chapters from conversations, 00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:01.740 or creating social media updates for non -writers 00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:04.159 in specific professions. So if you wanted to 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:06.440 start offering this service, what steps would 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:08.720 you take? Identify your target clients. Think 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.799 executives, high -level consultants, professionals 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.940 like doctors or lawyers. Build a portfolio, maybe 00:10:13.940 --> 00:10:16.320 by offering a free demo. Take one of their existing 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.779 audio pieces or do a short call and turn it into 00:10:18.779 --> 00:10:21.539 a polished post. Like a free sample. Smart. Yeah. 00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:24.419 Master your key tools. A good transcription service 00:10:24.419 --> 00:10:27.480 like Otter .ai or Descript and a capable writing 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:31.279 AI like Cloud3 or GPC4. Then structure your offering 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.519 around those monthly retainers. And the pro tip 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:35.779 here is the brand voice guide. Yes, the source 00:10:35.779 --> 00:10:39.100 emphasizes this. For each client, create a detailed 00:10:39.100 --> 00:10:42.139 guide capturing their unique voice, tone, common 00:10:42.139 --> 00:10:45.279 phrases, and who their audience is. Feeding this 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.220 guide to the AI along with a raw transcript helps 00:10:48.220 --> 00:10:50.700 ensure the draft content sounds genuinely like 00:10:50.700 --> 00:10:53.519 them, not just generic AI writing. It's crucial 00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:55.919 for authenticity. That's a smart way to make 00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:59.200 the AI output feel personal. Okay, next up, we're 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:01.419 looking at the massive online learning market, 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:04.360 AI -generated courses. The e -learning market 00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:07.259 is huge, right? Projected to hit $375 billion 00:11:07.259 --> 00:11:10.870 by 2026. Creating a course traditionally takes 00:11:10.870 --> 00:11:13.669 a ton of work. AI is changing that, making it 00:11:13.669 --> 00:11:15.690 way more accessible. You don't necessarily need 00:11:15.690 --> 00:11:18.009 to be a formal expert or even appear on camera. 00:11:18.169 --> 00:11:19.690 Wait, you don't need to be an expert or show 00:11:19.690 --> 00:11:21.809 your face to create and sell an online course. 00:11:21.909 --> 00:11:24.690 That feels a little counterintuitive. That's 00:11:24.690 --> 00:11:27.429 the AI leverage. AI can help with researching 00:11:27.429 --> 00:11:29.490 and outlining the curriculum, generating lesson 00:11:29.490 --> 00:11:32.210 scripts, creating quiz questions, and even producing 00:11:32.210 --> 00:11:34.870 video content using AI avatars or stock footage. 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.179 So the AI basically helps build the course content 00:11:38.179 --> 00:11:40.600 based on prompts or information you feed it. 00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:43.019 Exactly. And the business model is profitable 00:11:43.019 --> 00:11:45.980 because once the course is created, it has zero 00:11:45.980 --> 00:11:48.759 inventory cost and you can sell it repeatedly 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.159 to hundreds or thousands of students. Prices 00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:55.220 can range from $50 to well over $1 ,000 per student. 00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:58.179 Tell me about Alex, the former bartender. This 00:11:58.179 --> 00:12:01.049 sounds like him. Right. Alex had no formal teaching 00:12:01.049 --> 00:12:03.190 background but was really into stock trading. 00:12:03.370 --> 00:12:06.129 He used ChatGPT to research common questions 00:12:06.129 --> 00:12:08.429 and generate scripts for a beginner's trading 00:12:08.429 --> 00:12:11.179 course. Then, instead of recording himself, he 00:12:11.179 --> 00:12:13.759 used Synthesia, which creates polished videos 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:17.159 featuring lifelike AI avatars speaking the script. 00:12:17.340 --> 00:12:19.440 So not even stock footage this time, a completely 00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:22.740 generated human figure presenting. Yes, he marketed 00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:24.759 the course effectively, particularly using TikTok 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:27.519 to drive traffic. Without ever showing his face 00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:29.879 or having traditional teaching credentials, he 00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:33.399 made $140 ,000 in revenue. in just eight months. 00:12:33.740 --> 00:12:36.960 $140 ,000 in eight months creating a course with 00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:39.200 AI tools. That's incredible. It really shows 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.460 how AI can lower the barrier to entry if you 00:12:41.460 --> 00:12:43.759 have market insight. It's about leveraging AI 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.799 to deliver value efficiently. Other examples 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:49.340 include AI -assisted language learning courses 00:12:49.340 --> 00:12:52.120 that personalize lessons, AI fitness or diet 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:54.860 programs that generate tailored plans, or automated 00:12:54.860 --> 00:12:57.019 explainers for niches like cryptocurrency or 00:12:57.019 --> 00:12:59.480 specific software. How do you actually get started 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.600 with creating an AI -generated course? Pick a 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.960 profitable, evergreen niche. Think fitness, personal 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.059 finance, or specific business skills. Use AI 00:13:09.059 --> 00:13:11.820 tools like ChatGPT for content outlines and scripts, 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:16.039 Synthesia or Hagen for AI videos, and maybe Canva 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:18.700 AI for visuals or presentations. Then choose 00:13:18.700 --> 00:13:21.340 a platform to host and sell it like Udemy, Teachable, 00:13:21.460 --> 00:13:23.580 or setting up your own site. And the pro tip 00:13:23.580 --> 00:13:26.080 for this one. Use AI chatbots within the course. 00:13:26.259 --> 00:13:28.700 The source suggests this to add interactivity. 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.519 The chatbot can answer student questions 247, 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:34.200 provide feedback on quizzes, or offer encouragement, 00:13:34.419 --> 00:13:36.600 making the automated course feel much more dynamic 00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:38.559 and personalized. Interesting. Making it feel 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:40.460 more responsive, which kind of flows into the 00:13:40.460 --> 00:13:43.399 next model, AI coaching and chatbots. Yes. This 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.240 takes the idea of providing guidance and scales 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:49.509 it massively using AI. Instead of being limited 00:13:49.509 --> 00:13:51.830 to coaching one person at a time, you create 00:13:51.830 --> 00:13:54.230 automated coaching applications or intelligent 00:13:54.230 --> 00:13:58.190 chatbots. They can provide 2047 guidance to potentially 00:13:58.190 --> 00:14:01.230 thousands simultaneously. So like an AI version 00:14:01.230 --> 00:14:04.169 of a life coach or a career advisor? Exactly. 00:14:04.250 --> 00:14:07.129 In any niche where advice or structured guidance 00:14:07.129 --> 00:14:09.629 is valuable fitness, career planning, dating, 00:14:09.809 --> 00:14:13.000 business, or general wellness support. The source 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:15.100 is careful to distinguish this from actual therapy, 00:14:15.179 --> 00:14:17.480 though. Right. Important distinction. And the 00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:20.100 revenue model here is mostly subscriptions. Yes. 00:14:20.139 --> 00:14:21.860 It's perfect for a monthly subscription model 00:14:21.860 --> 00:14:24.899 ranging from $20 to $500 plus, depending on the 00:14:24.899 --> 00:14:27.120 niche and depth of guidance. This creates that 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:30.080 predictable recurring revenue stream. Compared 00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:32.559 to hiring human coaches, the setup and operational 00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:36.019 costs are super low, and AI allows for deep personalization 00:14:36.019 --> 00:14:38.679 for each user at scale. So you can essentially 00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:40.919 reach a huge number of people with your methodology. 00:14:41.259 --> 00:14:43.460 Precisely. The case study is Sarah, a traditional 00:14:43.460 --> 00:14:46.000 life coach. She was capped out, making less than 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.360 $2 ,000 a month with one -on -one clients. And 00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:51.440 she used AI to break through that. Yes. She used 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:55.539 the ChatGPT API to build an AI chatbot that embodied 00:14:55.539 --> 00:14:58.659 her entire coaching methodology. Users interacted 00:14:58.659 --> 00:15:02.179 with it, and it provided guidance. answered questions 00:15:02.179 --> 00:15:04.519 based on her principles, and walked them through 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:06.799 her frameworks. She basically turned her expertise 00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:09.779 into an interactive AI product. A highly interactive 00:15:09.779 --> 00:15:13.360 one, yes. In just six months, her AI coaching 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.620 app attracted over 3 ,000 subscribers, paying 00:15:16.620 --> 00:15:20.600 $29 a month. That scaled her income to $87 ,000 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:23.000 a month while she was working less than 10 hours 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:25.779 a week, mainly on improving the AI and marketing 00:15:25.779 --> 00:15:28.659 the app. 87 ,000 a month from an AI coaching 00:15:28.659 --> 00:15:31.159 app working under 10 hours a week. That's wow. 00:15:31.659 --> 00:15:34.220 The scalability is just wild there. And users 00:15:34.220 --> 00:15:36.139 get help whenever they need it, I guess. That's 00:15:36.139 --> 00:15:38.980 a huge advantage, the 24 -7 availability. Other 00:15:38.980 --> 00:15:40.980 examples include AI career coaches that help 00:15:40.980 --> 00:15:43.419 with resumes, cover letters, or even mock interviews, 00:15:43.700 --> 00:15:46.100 AI dating coaches offering messaging advice, 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:48.539 AI business mentors giving startup guidance, 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:51.120 or AI fitness nutrition coaches creating custom 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.480 plans and tracking progress. What are the first 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:55.320 steps to getting one of these up and running? 00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:58.360 Pick a niche you know well. Use an accessible 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:01.759 AI chatbot platform the source mentions, ChatGPT 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:05.620 API, ManyChat, BotPress, or VoiceFlow. Start 00:16:05.620 --> 00:16:07.919 with a free trial or a freemium model to get 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:10.559 users in, then convert them to a monthly subscription. 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:13.440 And the pro tip. Partner with influencers in 00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:15.559 your niche. Offer them affiliate commissions 00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:17.779 to promote your chatbot service to their audience. 00:16:18.139 --> 00:16:20.539 It can be a very fast way to acquire a large 00:16:20.539 --> 00:16:22.679 number of initial users quickly. That makes sense. 00:16:23.179 --> 00:16:25.279 Leverage existing communities. Okay, the next 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:27.759 one sounds familiar, but with an AI twist. AI 00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:30.259 dropshipping 2 .0. Right. Dropshipping is selling 00:16:30.259 --> 00:16:32.860 products online without holding inventory the 00:16:32.860 --> 00:16:36.000 supplier ships directly to the customer. AI dropshipping 00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.419 takes that model and automates the most time 00:16:38.419 --> 00:16:40.899 -consuming manual parts. Like finding products, 00:16:41.179 --> 00:16:43.259 writing descriptions, customer service, that 00:16:43.259 --> 00:16:45.679 kind of stuff. Exactly. AI can do hyper -efficient 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.259 product research to spot trends, write compelling 00:16:48.259 --> 00:16:50.919 SEO -optimized product descriptions and ad copy, 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:54.059 provide 2047 customer service using an AI chatbot, 00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:56.679 and even generate ad creatives like images or 00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:59.320 short videos. So it automates the majority of 00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:02.080 the operation. That's the claim over 80 % automation, 00:17:02.419 --> 00:17:05.740 making it a semi -passive income stream compared 00:17:05.740 --> 00:17:08.319 to traditional dropshipping. It also helps improve 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:11.000 profit margins through better ad targeting and 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:14.619 keeps the key benefit of dropshipping. Low upfront 00:17:14.619 --> 00:17:17.380 investment because you don't buy inventory. Tell 00:17:17.380 --> 00:17:20.160 me about Samantha, the digital nomad case study. 00:17:20.460 --> 00:17:22.920 Samantha wanted to get into e -commerce but wasn't 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:25.440 a designer. She set up a print -on -demand store. 00:17:25.819 --> 00:17:27.559 which is a form of drop shipping. When an order 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:29.920 comes in, the design is printed on a product 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:32.740 like a T -shirt or mug and shipped directly by 00:17:32.740 --> 00:17:36.000 the supplier. She used tools like Sell the Trend 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.400 for product research and Midjourney to generate 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:41.000 unique, trending T -shirt designs. Oh, so you 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:42.880 don't even need design skills. The AI creates 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:46.160 the art. Yes. She found popular niches and used 00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:49.039 AI to generate unique designs quickly. Some of 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:50.920 her AI design products went viral on TikTok, 00:17:51.180 --> 00:17:54.240 and her store generated $75 ,000 in revenue in 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:56.619 four months, all without her ever creating a 00:17:56.619 --> 00:17:59.299 single design herself. 75 ,000 in four months, 00:17:59.380 --> 00:18:01.619 just finding trends and generating designs with 00:18:01.619 --> 00:18:03.579 AI. That's pretty incredible automation of the 00:18:03.579 --> 00:18:06.420 creative process. It bypasses a traditional skill 00:18:06.420 --> 00:18:09.180 barrier. Other examples include AI personalized 00:18:09.180 --> 00:18:12.180 home decor stores based on user quizzes, niche 00:18:12.180 --> 00:18:14.079 print -on -demand stores for specific hobbies 00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:16.720 or communities, or AI fashion accessory stores. 00:18:17.130 --> 00:18:19.849 that use trend analysis to curate products and 00:18:19.849 --> 00:18:22.190 generate marketing copy. How would someone go 00:18:22.190 --> 00:18:24.150 about getting this type of store started? Use 00:18:24.150 --> 00:18:27.390 AI tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, or Sell the 00:18:27.390 --> 00:18:29.869 Trend to find winning, trending products. Set 00:18:29.869 --> 00:18:31.849 up your online storefront on a platform like 00:18:31.849 --> 00:18:35.170 Shopify or WooCommerce. Then integrate AI tools, 00:18:35.369 --> 00:18:37.650 often available as apps within those platforms, 00:18:37.849 --> 00:18:40.529 to automate product descriptions, customer service 00:18:40.529 --> 00:18:43.549 chatbots, and even ad creation. And the pro tip 00:18:43.549 --> 00:18:46.569 for this one? Combine AI product research. with 00:18:46.569 --> 00:18:49.029 targeted social media ads, especially on platforms 00:18:49.029 --> 00:18:51.990 like TikTok or Instagram. Use the AI -generated 00:18:51.990 --> 00:18:54.430 copy and creatives to test products quickly and 00:18:54.430 --> 00:18:56.589 scale the ones that show promise. Okay, last 00:18:56.589 --> 00:18:59.490 one on the list. This one sounds maybe the most 00:18:59.490 --> 00:19:01.190 technical, but the source says you don't need 00:19:01.190 --> 00:19:04.789 to code, AI Microsoft. Microsoft stands for software 00:19:04.789 --> 00:19:08.109 as a service. It's about building small, focused 00:19:08.109 --> 00:19:11.450 online software tools designed to solve a specific, 00:19:11.630 --> 00:19:15.630 often niche, problem. The AI Microsoft part is 00:19:15.630 --> 00:19:18.170 key because it means you're using AI functionality 00:19:18.170 --> 00:19:21.809 within this small tool. And crucially, you can 00:19:21.809 --> 00:19:23.950 build it without needing traditional coding skills. 00:19:24.230 --> 00:19:26.029 Wait, really? You don't need to know how to write 00:19:26.029 --> 00:19:28.569 code to build software? That's the power of the 00:19:28.569 --> 00:19:30.329 no -code revolution combined with accessible 00:19:30.329 --> 00:19:34.730 AI. Platforms like Bubble .io or SoftR let you 00:19:34.730 --> 00:19:37.009 build complex web applications visually using 00:19:37.009 --> 00:19:39.160 drag -and -drop interfaces. You can then connect 00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:41.720 them to AI models, like those from OpenAI or 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:44.799 Anthropic, using their APIs. Okay, API. I guess 00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:46.799 like an interface that lets different software 00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:48.759 talk to each other. So the no -code platform 00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:51.259 talks to the AI through this API. Yeah, you can 00:19:51.259 --> 00:19:52.599 think of it kind of like ordering in a restaurant. 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:54.720 Your no -code platform is you, the customer. 00:19:54.900 --> 00:19:57.299 The AI is the kitchen. The API is the waiter 00:19:57.299 --> 00:20:00.119 you give the waiter, the API your request, a 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:02.519 prompt for the AI. And the waiter sends it to 00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:04.740 the kitchen, the AI model, and brings the result 00:20:04.740 --> 00:20:06.759 back to you, all without you needing to know 00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:08.950 how to cook. Write code. OK, that makes sense. 00:20:09.210 --> 00:20:12.029 Why is this type of business potentially so profitable? 00:20:12.349 --> 00:20:14.509 It's one of the most powerful models for truly 00:20:14.509 --> 00:20:17.990 passive recurring income. Businesses or individuals 00:20:17.990 --> 00:20:20.390 are willing to pay a predictable monthly fee, 00:20:20.589 --> 00:20:23.750 MRR, monthly recurring revenue, for a tool that 00:20:23.750 --> 00:20:26.309 consistently saves them time, solves a pain point, 00:20:26.509 --> 00:20:29.130 or improves their workflow. Right. The no -code 00:20:29.130 --> 00:20:32.210 aspect drastically lowers the barrier to entry 00:20:32.210 --> 00:20:34.549 for building these tools. And the profit potential. 00:20:35.339 --> 00:20:38.759 A single successful AI microsource can realistically 00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:42.240 generate $10 ,000 or more in monthly recurring 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:45.200 revenue. It becomes a powerful, relatively hands 00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:47.920 -off income engine once it finds its users. Tell 00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:50.380 me about Daniel, the freelancer with zero coding 00:20:50.380 --> 00:20:52.700 skills mentioned in the source. Daniel was a 00:20:52.700 --> 00:20:55.059 freelancer himself and found crafting unique 00:20:55.059 --> 00:20:57.660 resumes and cover letters for every job application 00:20:57.660 --> 00:21:01.039 incredibly time -consuming and frustrating. He 00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:03.160 had no coding background but decided to build 00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:06.019 a solution. He used Bubble .io, that no -code 00:21:06.019 --> 00:21:08.599 platform, and connected it to the OpenAI API. 00:21:09.019 --> 00:21:10.799 To build a tool that writes resumes and cover 00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:13.740 letters. Exactly. Users would input their details 00:21:13.740 --> 00:21:16.259 and the job description, and the app, using the 00:21:16.259 --> 00:21:18.900 AI, would generate a tailored resume and cover 00:21:18.900 --> 00:21:21.640 letter instantly. He solved his own problem and 00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:23.759 turned it into a product. He launched it with 00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:26.339 a simple $19 per month subscription. And how 00:21:26.339 --> 00:21:29.240 did that go? In six months, that simple tool 00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:33.740 was generating $12 ,500 per month in MRR. all 00:21:33.740 --> 00:21:35.940 built by one person with zero coding skills, 00:21:36.180 --> 00:21:38.960 solving a specific high -value problem. That 00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:41.140 is pretty mind -blowing, a subscription software 00:21:41.140 --> 00:21:44.039 service built by a non -coder. It really highlights 00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:46.670 a potential. Other examples include AI tools 00:21:46.670 --> 00:21:48.730 that draft initial responses for customer support 00:21:48.730 --> 00:21:51.250 teams, tools that automatically repurpose long 00:21:51.250 --> 00:21:53.410 video content into short clips for social media, 00:21:53.529 --> 00:21:56.430 or AI content generators hyper -focused on a 00:21:56.430 --> 00:21:58.849 specific niche, like writing real estate descriptions 00:21:58.849 --> 00:22:01.329 or summarizing legal documents. So if someone 00:22:01.329 --> 00:22:03.829 wants to get into building AI microsaws, where 00:22:03.829 --> 00:22:07.089 do they start? First, identify a repetitive high 00:22:07.089 --> 00:22:09.609 -value problem. The source suggests focusing 00:22:09.609 --> 00:22:11.769 on B2B problems because companies are usually 00:22:11.769 --> 00:22:14.509 more willing to pay for efficiency. Build a minimum 00:22:14.509 --> 00:22:17.970 viable product, an MVP, just the core functionality 00:22:17.970 --> 00:22:21.150 using no -code tools like Bubble, SoftR, or Adelo. 00:22:21.349 --> 00:22:23.430 Maybe connect them with automation tools like 00:22:23.430 --> 00:22:27.150 Zapier or NAN and integrate the AI using APIs 00:22:27.150 --> 00:22:29.869 like OpenAI or Anthropic. Gotcha. Start simple. 00:22:30.089 --> 00:22:32.329 Exactly. Launch it with a free trial or freemium 00:22:32.329 --> 00:22:34.309 tier, then offer paid monthly subscriptions. 00:22:34.589 --> 00:22:37.410 And the pro tip. Stick to that B2B focus initially. 00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:39.700 Companies understand paying a monthly fee for 00:22:39.700 --> 00:22:41.740 software that saves employees time or money, 00:22:41.859 --> 00:22:44.380 making them easier clients to acquire and retain 00:22:44.380 --> 00:22:46.579 compared to trying to get individual consumers 00:22:46.579 --> 00:22:49.420 to pay monthly. Okay, wow. We covered a lot there. 00:22:50.140 --> 00:22:53.279 Seven distinct models, all using AI in these, 00:22:53.380 --> 00:22:56.019 uh... unglamorous but clearly practical ways 00:22:56.019 --> 00:22:59.480 ai powered short and long form video automation 00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:02.480 ghostwriting for busy professionals building 00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:05.099 courses without being a traditional expert scalable 00:23:05.099 --> 00:23:07.940 ai coaching automating drop shipping and even 00:23:07.940 --> 00:23:10.980 building software without coding it really does 00:23:10.980 --> 00:23:13.339 paint a picture of how ai is opening up doors 00:23:13.339 --> 00:23:15.700 that just weren't there or were much harder to 00:23:15.700 --> 00:23:18.339 open before It fundamentally changes the economic 00:23:18.339 --> 00:23:21.160 landscape for digital businesses, turning previously 00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:24.359 complex, labor -intensive tasks into processes 00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:26.859 that can be significantly automated and scaled. 00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:29.220 Which brings us right back to the source's core 00:23:29.220 --> 00:23:31.700 message that the window of opportunity is wide 00:23:31.700 --> 00:23:33.420 open right now. It says the biggest risk isn't 00:23:33.420 --> 00:23:34.759 trying one of these and maybe it doesn't work 00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:37.559 out, but waiting too long to even start. Yes, 00:23:37.579 --> 00:23:40.180 it really emphasizes that the AI gold rush is 00:23:40.180 --> 00:23:42.599 here, and historical shifts like this tend to 00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:44.940 heavily favor those who act early, experiment, 00:23:45.099 --> 00:23:47.599 and build before this space becomes saturated. 00:23:47.980 --> 00:23:50.200 So what does this all mean for you listening 00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:52.299 to this? The source gives a pretty direct, immediate 00:23:52.299 --> 00:23:56.500 action plan. First step. Pick one AI side hustle 00:23:56.500 --> 00:23:59.380 or business model from this list that genuinely 00:23:59.380 --> 00:24:01.480 sparks your interest. Don't try to do everything 00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:04.460 at once. Focus your energy. Just one. Okay, second 00:24:04.460 --> 00:24:07.460 step. Set a simple, manageable seven -day action 00:24:07.460 --> 00:24:10.640 plan for that one idea. What's one concrete step 00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:13.519 you can take this week? Maybe it's using AI to 00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:16.259 brainstorm specific video ideas, researching 00:24:16.259 --> 00:24:18.500 potential products, outlining the first module 00:24:18.500 --> 00:24:21.680 of a course, or identifying five businesses that 00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:24.039 could use a ghostwriter service. Just one step 00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:26.299 forward. And the third step. Immerse yourself 00:24:26.299 --> 00:24:29.160 in relevant online communities. Find your people. 00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:32.119 Look on platforms like X, LinkedIn groups, Reddit 00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:34.900 forums dedicated to AI entrepreneurship, no code, 00:24:35.140 --> 00:24:38.000 or specific niches you're interested in. Learn 00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:39.660 from others who are already building. That feels 00:24:39.660 --> 00:24:42.450 actionable, right? Pick one. Take a small step 00:24:42.450 --> 00:24:44.910 this week. Find your community. The source ends 00:24:44.910 --> 00:24:46.950 on a pretty powerful note saying, the future 00:24:46.950 --> 00:24:48.910 belongs to the builders. It's not just about 00:24:48.910 --> 00:24:51.170 consuming information about AI, but about taking 00:24:51.170 --> 00:24:53.769 action and using these tools to create something, 00:24:53.849 --> 00:24:56.289 build value in the world. Yeah. It makes you 00:24:56.289 --> 00:24:58.150 think, what does being a builder look like for 00:24:58.150 --> 00:25:01.049 you based on these ideas? Is it picking one of 00:25:01.049 --> 00:25:03.140 these seven models and just like... starting 00:25:03.140 --> 00:25:06.140 to build it piece by piece or to seeing how ai 00:25:06.140 --> 00:25:09.039 can automate things spark an idea for something 00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:10.880 totally new you could build based on your own 00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:13.460 experiences or knowledge it's kind of mind -bending 00:25:13.460 --> 00:25:16.039 how accessible building seems to be getting isn't 00:25:16.039 --> 00:25:18.880 it it really is the tools are here the blueprint 00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.240 based on this source is there it's just about 00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:23.779 deciding to step in and start building
