WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.919 We've all heard it, right? This kind of whisper. 00:00:02.819 --> 00:00:04.740 That if you really want to make money with AI, 00:00:05.179 --> 00:00:07.320 well, you've got to be some kind of coding genius. 00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:09.679 Yeah, like a deep learning dev buried in Python 00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:12.019 or something. Exactly. And, you know, if that's 00:00:12.019 --> 00:00:14.160 what you believe, I think you're missing out. 00:00:14.179 --> 00:00:17.179 Oh, big time. Because right now there are these 00:00:17.179 --> 00:00:20.760 incredible opportunities for pretty much anyone, 00:00:20.780 --> 00:00:22.460 even if you've never written a line of code. 00:00:22.579 --> 00:00:25.280 People are already doing it, finding really clever 00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:28.780 ways to profit from AI. Absolutely. Ordinary 00:00:28.780 --> 00:00:32.429 folks. Welcome to the deep dive. Today, our mission 00:00:32.429 --> 00:00:36.990 is to, well, gently take apart that myth, the 00:00:36.990 --> 00:00:39.810 one about AI and needing to be a coder to make 00:00:39.810 --> 00:00:43.450 money. We've looked at a bunch of sources and 00:00:43.450 --> 00:00:45.109 the picture is pretty clear. We're going to walk 00:00:45.109 --> 00:00:49.170 through seven. seven proven ways to profit using 00:00:49.170 --> 00:00:51.390 AI. And yeah, zero programming needed. These 00:00:51.390 --> 00:00:53.170 aren't just ideas. These are real business models 00:00:53.170 --> 00:00:54.689 people are using now. We're also going to give 00:00:54.689 --> 00:00:57.909 you a plan, a concrete step -by -step way to 00:00:57.909 --> 00:01:01.009 land your first AI client in just 30 days. Right. 00:01:01.090 --> 00:01:03.689 No ads, no need for a huge following online. 00:01:03.969 --> 00:01:06.590 This whole deep dive is about giving you practical, 00:01:07.090 --> 00:01:09.890 actionable stuff. Yeah, opening doors to some, 00:01:09.950 --> 00:01:12.349 honestly, pretty significant opportunities that 00:01:12.349 --> 00:01:14.269 are just sitting there waiting. Let's get into 00:01:14.269 --> 00:01:17.349 it. Okay. Let's start with that big myth. You 00:01:17.349 --> 00:01:19.590 have to be a developer to make money from AI. 00:01:20.370 --> 00:01:23.049 Believing that, it means you could be missing 00:01:23.049 --> 00:01:25.469 out on, well, the biggest opportunities of the 00:01:25.469 --> 00:01:28.030 21st century. It's kind of like watching a gold 00:01:28.030 --> 00:01:30.150 rush from miles away. That's such a good way 00:01:30.150 --> 00:01:33.170 to put it. This AI revolution, it's not just 00:01:33.170 --> 00:01:35.230 for the tech wizards. What's really cool is how 00:01:35.230 --> 00:01:37.810 it boosts creative thinking, problem solving, 00:01:38.230 --> 00:01:41.489 just being agile. So it rewards different skills. 00:01:41.709 --> 00:01:44.489 Exactly. Loads of successful people in AI today. 00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.099 They didn't start with coding or fancy degrees 00:01:47.099 --> 00:01:49.500 or even tons of business experience. They understood 00:01:49.500 --> 00:01:52.239 something fundamental. Which is? That the real 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.719 value isn't always in building the tool. It's 00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:57.879 often in applying it cleverly, using it to solve 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.700 actual real -world problems people have, turning 00:02:00.700 --> 00:02:02.859 the tech into something practical. Okay, so if 00:02:02.859 --> 00:02:05.640 it's about applying it, how does someone without 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:07.939 coding skills actually start making money with 00:02:07.939 --> 00:02:11.159 AI? By learning how to use AI tools well to fix 00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:13.740 business problems. Right. Which leads us to the 00:02:13.740 --> 00:02:17.539 first method. Hosting AI workshops. This feels 00:02:17.539 --> 00:02:20.300 like a massive opportunity hiding in plain sight. 00:02:20.580 --> 00:02:22.840 It really is. Look at the numbers. Corporate 00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.719 training was over $100 billion last year. But 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.919 get this, 70 % of companies say they lack essential 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:33.479 AI skills. That gap, it's huge. A huge gap between 00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:36.740 spending and need. Exactly. Fertile ground. An 00:02:36.740 --> 00:02:39.340 AI workshop is pretty simple. Maybe one to three 00:02:39.340 --> 00:02:42.409 hours, training a company's team. And you don't 00:02:42.409 --> 00:02:44.250 need to be some AI god. You just need to know 00:02:44.250 --> 00:02:46.310 more than they do. Which, for many businesses, 00:02:46.469 --> 00:02:48.550 isn't that high a bar right now. Honestly, no. 00:02:48.750 --> 00:02:51.909 Even basic chat GPT skills, writing emails, simple 00:02:51.909 --> 00:02:53.949 analysis that's like treasure to a small business 00:02:53.949 --> 00:02:55.710 owner just starting out. So how do you actually 00:02:55.710 --> 00:02:57.870 get started with this? Step one. Build your knowledge 00:02:57.870 --> 00:03:00.930 base. Seriously. YouTube, blogs, AI company resources, 00:03:01.069 --> 00:03:03.310 it's all free. A few weeks of focused learning, 00:03:03.370 --> 00:03:05.550 you'll have enough for a great workshop. Think, 00:03:05.750 --> 00:03:09.659 like... chat GPT for local shops or AI marketing 00:03:09.659 --> 00:03:12.939 basic. Okay, learn first. Then what? Start local 00:03:12.939 --> 00:03:16.139 and start free. Offer a workshop to a small business 00:03:16.139 --> 00:03:18.460 nearby or maybe a local chamber of commerce. 00:03:18.979 --> 00:03:21.460 This builds your confidence, you practice, and 00:03:21.460 --> 00:03:24.860 critically, you get testimonials. Ah, the testimonials. 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.000 Social proof. Crucial. A few good reviews are 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:32.419 your best marketing tool. Then step three, scale 00:03:32.419 --> 00:03:35.340 and price it. Once you've shown value, you can 00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:37.460 charge. Could be a few hundred bucks, could be 00:03:37.460 --> 00:03:39.319 several thousand for a really good session. Several 00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.620 thousand, okay. Because the value for the company 00:03:41.620 --> 00:03:44.780 is potentially huge. Exactly. That productivity 00:03:44.780 --> 00:03:47.740 boost pays for the workshop many times over. 00:03:48.219 --> 00:03:51.180 And structure it well. 15 men's intro, connect 00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:53.580 with their pain points. 30 men's core concepts, 00:03:54.060 --> 00:03:56.180 simple language, no jargon. Then the big part, 00:03:56.620 --> 00:04:00.169 45, 60 men's live practice. real exercises. Hands 00:04:00.169 --> 00:04:02.550 -on is key. Absolutely vital. Finish with 30 00:04:02.550 --> 00:04:04.830 minutes Q &A and a simple action plan they can 00:04:04.830 --> 00:04:06.870 use immediately. That sounds incredibly practical. 00:04:07.150 --> 00:04:08.909 But okay, what's the main limitation of doing 00:04:08.909 --> 00:04:11.050 these live in -person workshops? Well, you can 00:04:11.050 --> 00:04:13.370 only be in one physical place at one time. Right. 00:04:13.449 --> 00:04:16.029 Your time doesn't scale easily. Which brings 00:04:16.029 --> 00:04:20.009 us to the next idea. Online AI courses for businesses. 00:04:20.889 --> 00:04:24.129 How do you kind of clone your knowledge? Make 00:04:24.129 --> 00:04:26.250 money while you sleep? This is such a golden 00:04:26.250 --> 00:04:30.220 opportunity. MIT Sloan Research found employees 00:04:30.220 --> 00:04:34.360 using AI right are almost 40 % more productive. 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:37.199 Think about that. 40%. Any business would want 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.519 that. Exactly. And they're not looking for super 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.180 academic stuff. They want simple, practical training 00:04:42.180 --> 00:04:44.000 they can use tomorrow. They'll pay for that kind 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.600 of productivity jump. So what topics sell best 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.319 for these online courses? Well, things like The 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.740 complete Chad GPT course for business. That's 00:04:51.740 --> 00:04:54.579 a solid foundation. Or more specific, like AI 00:04:54.579 --> 00:04:57.639 for marketing teams. How to boost content, ads. 00:04:57.699 --> 00:05:00.279 Makes sense. AI -powered image and video creation. 00:05:00.540 --> 00:05:02.600 Thick mid -journey, stable diffusion, maybe even 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:04.920 Sora. That's what blows people's minds. And definitely, 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.560 the art of prompt engineering 101. Prompt engineering. 00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.160 That's basically how you talk to the AI, right? 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.439 To get the best results. Precisely. It's a critical 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:14.620 skill. Yeah. And maybe an introduction to AI 00:05:14.620 --> 00:05:17.120 automation. How to streamline things. OK. So 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.560 you pick a topic. How do you package it? Package 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.459 it professionally. Video lectures are great. 00:05:21.779 --> 00:05:24.579 Add PDFs, checklists, maybe some ready -to -use 00:05:24.579 --> 00:05:26.980 prom templates. Make it easy to digest for busy 00:05:26.980 --> 00:05:29.319 professionals. And pricing. Beyond just selling 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.660 a single course. Yeah, think bigger. Per seat, 00:05:31.819 --> 00:05:34.560 pricing company pays per employee. Or a corporate 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.959 package. Flat fee for a whole team. Best for 00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.339 recurring income, though. A subscription model. 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:43.639 Ah, ongoing revenue. Right. Ongoing access, maybe 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.540 monthly Q &As, new content updates. You could 00:05:46.540 --> 00:05:49.379 offer, say, a package for a 10 -person team for 00:05:49.379 --> 00:05:52.759 $1 ,000 to $2 ,500. Lifetime access, some live 00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:54.920 support updates for a year. That's real value. 00:05:55.060 --> 00:05:57.819 OK, so a company takes a course, gets the basics. 00:05:58.379 --> 00:06:00.399 What's their next big question, usually? They 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.699 need to know which specific AI tools they should 00:06:02.699 --> 00:06:05.439 actually use. And that leads perfectly into method 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.720 number three, AI tool consulting. Becoming the 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.680 AI doctor or maybe AI navigator for businesses 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.459 lost in the fog. Exactly. Businesses pay consultants 00:06:14.459 --> 00:06:17.139 when they're confused. And AI, it's evolving 00:06:17.139 --> 00:06:19.860 so fast, it's confusing. Gartner says companies 00:06:19.860 --> 00:06:24.220 will spend like $644 billion on AI in 2025. They 00:06:24.220 --> 00:06:26.720 need hell spitting that wisely. So you guide 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.639 them. What's the process like an AI doctor approach? 00:06:29.779 --> 00:06:31.600 Yeah, something like that. First, you diagnose. 00:06:31.939 --> 00:06:33.980 You listen, understand their business, their 00:06:33.980 --> 00:06:36.319 workflows, where the pain is. Second, identify 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.420 the problems AI can solve. Bottlenecks, repetitive 00:06:39.420 --> 00:06:42.240 stuff. Find the friction points. Right. Then 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:45.300 third, you prescribe solutions. A clear roadmap. 00:06:45.939 --> 00:06:49.779 Use Jasper for your blog. Use fireflies .ai for 00:06:49.779 --> 00:06:52.560 sales call summaries. Use Notion AI for your 00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.819 internal knowledge base. Specific, actionable 00:06:55.819 --> 00:06:58.569 advice. Do you need to be a super technical expert 00:06:58.569 --> 00:07:01.069 for this? Honestly, no. Your edge is just knowing 00:07:01.069 --> 00:07:03.569 more about practical AI applications than the 00:07:03.569 --> 00:07:06.209 average business owner. Yeah. Spend a week, just 00:07:06.209 --> 00:07:09.129 one week, watching YouTube reviews of the top 00:07:09.129 --> 00:07:12.730 50 AI tools. Just one week? Seriously. That alone 00:07:12.730 --> 00:07:14.730 puts you way ahead of the curve. Create your 00:07:14.730 --> 00:07:16.550 own little database tool name, what it does, 00:07:16.829 --> 00:07:19.709 price, proscons, best use case. A simple spreadsheet 00:07:19.709 --> 00:07:22.050 works. And pricing is kind of consulting. Margins 00:07:22.050 --> 00:07:24.629 are good because you're selling expertise. Start 00:07:24.629 --> 00:07:28.160 hourly, maybe. 150 hour then move to packages 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.519 and AI discovery package analysis recommendations 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:35.519 may be 750 to $1 ,000 then an AI implementation 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.100 package setup training that could be 2500 to 00:07:38.100 --> 00:07:41.459 $5 ,000 even more big potential there It's clear 00:07:41.459 --> 00:07:43.920 the demand for AI tools and guidance is booming. 00:07:44.339 --> 00:07:46.399 But what's actually slowing things down? What's 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:48.939 the biggest bottleneck globally right now? Finding 00:07:48.939 --> 00:07:51.500 the right skilled people to actually implement 00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:54.339 the tech. The talent shortage. Which brings us 00:07:54.339 --> 00:07:57.040 neatly to method number four, the AI talent partner. 00:07:57.180 --> 00:07:59.800 Basically being a matchmaker. Yes. And the need 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.279 is critical. Eighty seven percent of companies 00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:04.699 struggle to find AI talent. It takes, what, an 00:08:04.699 --> 00:08:07.800 average of 142 days to fill one role. That costs 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:10.600 millions. CEOs constantly say talent is their 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:12.920 number one AI roadblock. So your job is simple. 00:08:13.139 --> 00:08:15.060 Connect companies needing talent with people 00:08:15.060 --> 00:08:17.120 who have the skills. And you have an edge over 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.600 traditional recruiters. Why? Because they often 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:21.740 don't get AI. They don't know the tools, the 00:08:21.740 --> 00:08:24.100 communities. You do. Because you're learning 00:08:24.100 --> 00:08:25.740 this stuff. You're in those communities. Makes 00:08:25.740 --> 00:08:27.839 sense. You understand the nuances. Right. I'll 00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:31.879 admit, even for me, finding really specific niche 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.330 AI talent, it can still be tough sometimes. The 00:08:35.330 --> 00:08:38.210 gab is real. Okay, so how does someone start 00:08:38.210 --> 00:08:40.750 doing this, becoming a talent partner? First, 00:08:40.769 --> 00:08:43.850 get into the AI communities. LinkedIn, X, Facebook 00:08:43.850 --> 00:08:47.190 groups, Discord servers. Be active. Second, build 00:08:47.190 --> 00:08:49.769 your network. Keep a database of skilled folks 00:08:49.769 --> 00:08:52.929 you find. Tag them by expertise. Make dot com 00:08:52.929 --> 00:08:55.450 expert, prompt engineer, whatever. So build your 00:08:55.450 --> 00:08:57.730 talent pool. And at the same time, find companies 00:08:57.730 --> 00:09:00.950 looking to hire. Then third step, make the connection. 00:09:01.450 --> 00:09:03.690 Offer to introduce pre -vetted talent for a flat 00:09:03.690 --> 00:09:07.129 fee. maybe $500 to $1 ,000 for a successful placement. 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.080 Companies gladly pay that to save months of searching. 00:09:10.379 --> 00:09:12.919 A flat fee? Simple. And how do you build trust 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.460 as a connector? Share your knowledge. Post on 00:09:15.460 --> 00:09:17.940 LinkedIn about, like, top five AI skills for 00:09:17.940 --> 00:09:21.179 2025 or how to interview an AI automation expert. 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:23.980 Become a go -to resource on AI talent. People 00:09:23.980 --> 00:09:25.860 will start coming to you. Okay, this makes sense 00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:28.120 for connecting talent, but what if someone wants 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.500 to actually build AI solutions but they really 00:09:30.500 --> 00:09:32.500 don't want to learn traditional coding? Ah, then 00:09:32.500 --> 00:09:34.879 they can use no -code AI automation tools. It's 00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:38.279 Mested 5. This area seems expl - The AI application 00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:41.340 market is projected at, what, $138 billion next 00:09:41.340 --> 00:09:44.899 year and millions of unfilled jobs. Insane growth. 00:09:45.139 --> 00:09:47.159 Not enough developers to go around. But here's 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:51.039 the secret most people miss. You don't need to 00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:54.000 code to build AI solutions anymore. Enter the 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.539 no -code revolution. Exactly. Forget complex 00:09:56.539 --> 00:10:00.519 code. Use drag -and -drop tools. Make .com, Zapier 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.950 are big ones. It's like... Like, stacking Lego 00:10:03.950 --> 00:10:06.590 blocks of data and logic together. Lego blocks. 00:10:06.690 --> 00:10:08.129 I like that analogy. Can you give an example? 00:10:08.289 --> 00:10:10.909 Sure. Imagine. New lead fills out a web form. 00:10:11.169 --> 00:10:13.850 Okay, block one. That data goes to ChatGPT to 00:10:13.850 --> 00:10:16.110 write a personalized email. Block two. Email 00:10:16.110 --> 00:10:18.730 gets sent. Block three. Lead added to the CRM. 00:10:18.809 --> 00:10:20.929 Block four. Slack message to the sales team. 00:10:21.149 --> 00:10:24.990 Block five. All automated. Zero code. Wow. Just, 00:10:24.990 --> 00:10:27.029 whoa. Imagine the amount of manual work that 00:10:27.029 --> 00:10:29.789 saves businesses. Huge. Freeing up teams for 00:10:29.789 --> 00:10:32.029 stuff that actually requires human brains. Who's 00:10:32.029 --> 00:10:33.629 suited for learning this? What kind of person? 00:10:33.889 --> 00:10:35.610 Anyone logical, really. If you like puzzles, 00:10:35.669 --> 00:10:37.389 if you enjoy building systems, making things 00:10:37.389 --> 00:10:40.049 run smoothly, meticulously, this could be perfect 00:10:40.049 --> 00:10:42.230 for you. So start by automating your own stuff. 00:10:42.610 --> 00:10:45.049 Good way to start, yeah. Automate your own tasks, 00:10:45.309 --> 00:10:48.149 then sell those solutions. Or build specific 00:10:48.149 --> 00:10:51.309 things for clients. Marketing teams love article 00:10:51.309 --> 00:10:54.230 summarizers for social media. HR can use resume 00:10:54.230 --> 00:10:56.750 screeners. Customer service can use simple chat 00:10:56.750 --> 00:10:59.600 bots for FAQs. Lots of practical applications. 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:02.059 But what if a business needs something more? 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.000 Like a custom app, not just an automation workflow. 00:11:05.179 --> 00:11:07.620 That's where software composing comes in. Building 00:11:07.620 --> 00:11:10.580 actual apps without code, method six. Right, 00:11:10.659 --> 00:11:12.980 because lots of businesses need custom tools, 00:11:13.379 --> 00:11:15.600 internal things that off -the -shelf software 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.379 just doesn't cover. And custom development used 00:11:18.379 --> 00:11:21.639 to be super expensive and slow. Used to be. Now 00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.519 there's this new wave of AI tools. You can literally 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.440 describe the app you want in plain English and 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.919 the AI helps build it. It's like... orchestrating 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:30.659 pre -built components. That's software composing. 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:32.879 So you're not coding, you're directing. Kind 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:34.940 of. Tools like Bubble or Glide let you build 00:11:34.940 --> 00:11:37.320 really complex web and mobile apps, databases, 00:11:37.779 --> 00:11:39.960 user logins, everything without touching code. 00:11:40.299 --> 00:11:42.059 It's like an AI architect helping you assemble 00:11:42.059 --> 00:11:45.059 a custom house from amazing prefab parts. What 00:11:45.059 --> 00:11:47.080 kind of services can you offer with that skill? 00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.919 Two really valuable ones. First, building rapid 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:55.389 MVPs, minimum viable products. Prototypes. Instead 00:11:55.389 --> 00:11:57.629 of a client spending $50 and waiting six months 00:11:57.629 --> 00:12:00.090 to test an idea, you build a working prototype 00:12:00.090 --> 00:12:03.929 for maybe $2 ,500 in two weeks. Huge value. Testing 00:12:03.929 --> 00:12:06.289 ideas fast and cheap. What's the second service? 00:12:06.850 --> 00:12:09.549 Replacing messy spreadsheets and clunky old systems 00:12:09.549 --> 00:12:12.710 with clean custom internal tools, like a bespoke 00:12:12.710 --> 00:12:15.690 project manager, a simple CRM tailored just for 00:12:15.690 --> 00:12:18.110 them, an employee portal. stuff they desperately 00:12:18.110 --> 00:12:19.990 need but couldn't afford before. This sounds 00:12:19.990 --> 00:12:22.429 like a longer -term play, but potentially very 00:12:22.429 --> 00:12:24.750 lucrative. Oh, massive opportunity if you commit 00:12:24.750 --> 00:12:27.250 to it. You become an incredibly valuable resource 00:12:27.250 --> 00:12:30.029 for businesses that need custom solutions quickly 00:12:30.029 --> 00:12:32.889 and affordably. Okay, six methods down. What 00:12:32.889 --> 00:12:35.070 if someone loves connecting people, sharing ideas, 00:12:35.110 --> 00:12:37.669 but they really don't want to do client work 00:12:37.669 --> 00:12:39.110 or build things themselves? Is there something 00:12:39.110 --> 00:12:41.950 for them? Absolutely. They can become an AI referral 00:12:41.950 --> 00:12:44.690 partner. That's method seven. Earn commissions 00:12:44.690 --> 00:12:46.789 just for making introductions. Interesting. So 00:12:46.789 --> 00:12:48.509 this is for the connectors, the networkers, the 00:12:48.509 --> 00:12:50.090 people who like sharing information but maybe 00:12:50.090 --> 00:12:52.110 want to avoid deadlines and project management. 00:12:52.529 --> 00:12:55.210 Exactly. Your job is to become a trusted voice. 00:12:55.669 --> 00:12:57.929 You help businesses navigate the AI landscape. 00:12:58.409 --> 00:13:00.809 You don't need deep technical skill in one area. 00:13:01.169 --> 00:13:04.250 You need broad awareness of the whole AI for 00:13:04.250 --> 00:13:06.690 business scene. You filter the noise for them. 00:13:06.990 --> 00:13:09.830 How does that work in practice? Step one. Learn 00:13:09.830 --> 00:13:13.250 the landscape. Know the top tools, the best strategies, 00:13:13.429 --> 00:13:16.070 the use cases that actually work. Second, share 00:13:16.070 --> 00:13:18.690 what you learn. Create content blogs, social 00:13:18.690 --> 00:13:21.710 media, newsletter that attracts businesses curious 00:13:21.710 --> 00:13:24.789 about AI. Build an audience by being helpful. 00:13:25.169 --> 00:13:28.090 Precisely. Then third step, make the connection. 00:13:28.649 --> 00:13:30.769 When a business in your audience needs specific 00:13:30.769 --> 00:13:33.470 help, you connect them to the right expert, someone 00:13:33.470 --> 00:13:35.529 doing methods one to six, and you get a commission. 00:13:35.870 --> 00:13:38.970 Usually 10 20 percent. So if you refer a $5 ,000 00:13:38.970 --> 00:13:41.190 project you could make five hundred to one thousand 00:13:41.190 --> 00:13:43.509 dollars just for the intro It's perfect if you 00:13:43.509 --> 00:13:45.309 prefer building an audience and creating content 00:13:45.309 --> 00:13:47.250 over direct service delivery Okay, these seven 00:13:47.250 --> 00:13:49.049 methods are amazing covering a lot of ground 00:13:49.049 --> 00:13:51.830 but knowing them is one thing. What's the absolute 00:13:51.830 --> 00:13:54.690 most critical step to actually start making money. 00:13:54.870 --> 00:13:57.889 Landing your very first AI client. And honestly, 00:13:58.389 --> 00:14:01.009 it's simpler than you probably think. OK, knowing 00:14:01.009 --> 00:14:03.210 seven ways to use AI to make money is great, 00:14:03.230 --> 00:14:05.649 but kind of useless without clients, right? Right. 00:14:05.769 --> 00:14:09.110 Action is key. So here's a simple four step process. 00:14:09.570 --> 00:14:11.429 We think you can use this to get your first AI 00:14:11.429 --> 00:14:14.309 client in about 30 days. No ad budget needed, 00:14:14.470 --> 00:14:17.470 no huge online presence required. OK, step one, 00:14:18.009 --> 00:14:21.529 define your ideal client. This is week one. Don't 00:14:21.529 --> 00:14:24.210 try to serve everyone. Pick a niche, an industry 00:14:24.210 --> 00:14:26.710 you know or find interesting. It could be dentists, 00:14:26.830 --> 00:14:29.909 law firms, local coffee shops, whatever. Get 00:14:29.909 --> 00:14:32.250 specific. Very specific. Then make a list of 00:14:32.250 --> 00:14:34.669 50 potential clients in that niche. Use Google 00:14:34.669 --> 00:14:37.529 Maps, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, local directories. 00:14:37.830 --> 00:14:40.490 Just get 50 names. 50 potential leads. Okay, 00:14:40.610 --> 00:14:43.090 step two, also week one. Yeah, so week one. Prepare 00:14:43.090 --> 00:14:45.769 your value bait, research their common pain points, 00:14:46.049 --> 00:14:48.029 what takes up too much time, what's inefficient. 00:14:48.330 --> 00:14:52.120 Then create a free AI opportunity audit. Just 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:53.899 one or two pages. What's in the audit? Three 00:14:53.899 --> 00:14:56.279 to five specific concrete ways AI could help 00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:58.419 their type of business. Example for a dentist. 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:02.299 AI chat bot for appointment questions 2047. Automated 00:15:02.299 --> 00:15:05.419 SMS reminders to reduce no shows. AI analysis 00:15:05.419 --> 00:15:08.240 of patient feedback. Simple, tangible ideas. 00:15:08.659 --> 00:15:12.279 Got it. Value first. Now step three. Weeks two 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:15.080 and three. Personalize outreach. Send emails 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.179 or LinkedIn messages. Key word personalized. 00:15:18.490 --> 00:15:21.870 No mass blasts. Tailor each one. What do you 00:15:21.870 --> 00:15:24.350 say? Something like, Hi, name, saw your company 00:15:24.350 --> 00:15:27.090 name website, really liked specific thing. I 00:15:27.090 --> 00:15:29.289 helped their industry with benefit, for example, 00:15:29.490 --> 00:15:31.730 streamlining operations. I put together a few 00:15:31.730 --> 00:15:34.029 quick ideas on how AI might help you achieve 00:15:34.029 --> 00:15:36.730 specific outcome. For example, cut down on missed 00:15:36.730 --> 00:15:39.289 appointments. Open to me sending over that free 00:15:39.289 --> 00:15:42.070 AI opportunity audit. Short, specific, offers 00:15:42.070 --> 00:15:44.629 value. What if they don't reply? Follow up politely 00:15:44.629 --> 00:15:46.710 after three or four days. Just a gentle nudge. 00:15:46.970 --> 00:15:49.450 Okay, outreach aims to get a call. Step four. 00:15:49.649 --> 00:15:52.210 Week four. The sales call. Your goal for outreach 00:15:52.210 --> 00:15:54.350 was just to get this call. Now, on the call, 00:15:54.690 --> 00:15:56.570 listen. Listen more than you talk. Understand 00:15:56.570 --> 00:15:58.809 their specific needs. Then present your audit, 00:15:58.909 --> 00:16:01.149 showing how the AI ideas apply directly to them. 00:16:01.269 --> 00:16:02.889 And then the pitch? Yeah, but keep it small. 00:16:03.389 --> 00:16:04.990 Propose a starter project based on whichever 00:16:04.990 --> 00:16:07.330 of the seven methods you chose. A small workshop, 00:16:07.710 --> 00:16:10.049 a short consulting gig, one automation project. 00:16:10.450 --> 00:16:12.649 Solve one specific problem you both identified. 00:16:13.009 --> 00:16:15.870 Make it an easy yes. This works because you lead 00:16:15.870 --> 00:16:18.779 with value. You give them something useful before 00:16:18.779 --> 00:16:21.059 asking for the sale. Exactly. It builds trust 00:16:21.059 --> 00:16:23.320 immediately. So let's zoom out. What's the big 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:25.539 takeaway here? It really circles back to that 00:16:25.539 --> 00:16:29.039 first idea, doesn't it? AI is for everyone. It 00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:31.200 really is. You don't need to be a coder. You 00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:34.879 don't need fancy degrees. Yes, those help. But 00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:37.340 hard -working, adaptable people are making this 00:16:37.340 --> 00:16:41.039 work right now. So why start now? Why the urgency? 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:44.360 Look at the projections. The AI industry. Expected 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:48.179 to grow 5X in five years. Nearly 36 % growth 00:16:48.179 --> 00:16:50.960 per year. Companies are already spending billions. 00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:54.960 72 % use AI somewhere. This isn't just a trend. 00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:57.710 It's becoming foundation. internet was 20 years 00:16:57.710 --> 00:16:59.830 ago exactly the people learning these skills 00:16:59.830 --> 00:17:02.090 now they're getting a massive head start a huge 00:17:02.090 --> 00:17:04.410 advantage okay so immediate action steps for 00:17:04.410 --> 00:17:06.930 someone listening right now one pick one method 00:17:06.930 --> 00:17:09.769 just one to start don't get overwhelmed to learn 00:17:09.769 --> 00:17:11.970 about it deeply use the free online resources 00:17:11.970 --> 00:17:16.470 they're excellent focus learn then three build 00:17:16.470 --> 00:17:20.619 something small a personal project Automate something 00:17:20.619 --> 00:17:23.759 for yourself. Create a mini course outline. Build 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:27.440 a tiny no -code app. Learn by doing. And four, 00:17:27.859 --> 00:17:30.980 the most important. Take action. Take action. 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:33.859 Execute that 30 -day plan. Start reaching out. 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:37.299 Don't just absorb information. Apply it. Find 00:17:37.299 --> 00:17:40.180 that first client. The opportunity is clearly 00:17:40.180 --> 00:17:42.740 massive. The tools are there. We've kind of laid 00:17:42.740 --> 00:17:44.660 out a path. So really you two choices, right? 00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:47.970 Yeah. Stay kind of scared. make excuses, watch 00:17:47.970 --> 00:17:49.910 from the sidelines while others build amazing 00:17:49.910 --> 00:17:52.230 things. Or you take action. You decide to learn. 00:17:52.750 --> 00:17:55.430 Join the millions already using AI skills to 00:17:55.430 --> 00:17:57.450 build better careers, better businesses, better 00:17:57.450 --> 00:18:00.309 lives.
