7 Ways to Make More Than Your 9-5 With AI

Transcription

Today, I'm sharing with you seven ways that you can use AI to make more than a full-time income. These methods can make you anywhere from a few thousand up to over $31,000 a month. And I made sure to include a lot of variety here, so there should be something for everyone.

I've grown a side hustle into what's now a multi-million dollar business selling the same type of products that I'm going to show you today, and it makes a lot more than most 9 to 5s. I selected beginner friendly ideas with scaling in mind. So you can start these as sort of a side hustle and scale them to a seven or maybe even an eight figure business if you want to.

But just to get straight into it, the first product on the list is selling decorative books. You might be wondering how books can make you more than a 9 to 5. Take a look at this listing that's on Tik Tok shop. This is a decorative style book that has Bible verses on it and it comes in a few different formats. These mini, soft cover, and even hard cover books.

Now, if we flip through some of the images, you can see that each page is just a super simple image that I think we can make using AI along with some Bible verses on the other side. It's a really simple idea that they have going on, and it sells really well, too. This one specifically has sold over 532 times. And even the cheapest minibook is selling for $15 with $8 of shipping, or $22.99 in total.

But you might be wondering how we can even sell physical books like this to begin with. But that's exactly what companies like Printify allow us to do. If we search their catalog for books, you can see that they have a few different options. They have soft cover and even hardcover photo books like the one that we saw selling really well on Tik Tok.

Now, the hardcover version is selling on Tik Tok for over $78 in total. If we wanted to print and sell the hardcover photo book from Printify, it would cost us $13.58 to get it printed and shipped in total. So, selling the hardcover book from Printify, even if we charged the same price as the minibook in this Tik Tok listing, we would make $9.41 of profit per sale. But if we sold it at the hardcover book prices, $78, we'd be making $64.42 of profit per sale.

So, with the 532 sales on this listing, they've made between $5,000 and up to $34,000 just selling this one single listing. And if we click through and take a look at the shop that's selling this book, you can see that they have a lot more of these type of books for sale, and a lot of them have hundreds, if not thousands of sales. So, there's real demand for this type of product.

And you can also see that there's other types of even more generic decorative books like this one that's sold over 5,000 times on Tik Tok. And by the way, this marketplace isn't just for people who post videos. People come to Tik Tok shop, search for products, and buy them without seeing any videos. It is turning into an organic marketplace like Etsy and Amazon where you can list products for free and they'll get sales over time without you even necessarily needing to make content about them.

And just for reference, you can see the same type of product selling super well on platforms like Amazon with this one having over a thousand reviews and we can make essentially the same thing using AI. So the first step is to come over into a tool like Claude and I like to write a prompt something like this. Don't worry, you can get all of the prompts that I'm using in this video completely for free right below the subscribe button. The reason I like using Claude is you can get it to ask you clarifying questions so that you can get the absolute best outline possible. What this is going to do is build out an entire product outline so that all you have to do is copy and paste some of the content, generate the images, and then format it together in Printify.

Now, this is why Claude is my favorite. What you can see is it's given me an entire document breakdown of exactly how our book could be structured. It's given me a title page, an overview, and even content so that users can easily navigate through the book. This basically gives me the entire format for how I could create this type of product. And what I could do is grab the image prompt, take it over into Google Studio and use Nano Banana to create an image that I could use on that page. And after just a few seconds, you see we get this piece of artwork that it recommended we could use in our book. It definitely doesn't look bad. Obviously, we could edit the prompt and change the style of artwork if that's not what we're going for. But the point is that we could put this decorative style book together in not that much time. And then from here, all we'd have to do is copy down the contents and paste it into our book in a tool like Printify. And then we could post it for sale on marketplaces like Tik Tok Shop, Etsy, and even Amazon.

Now, as for the scores here, you could get started with this side hustle for less than $25. And that's because there aren't really any startup costs that you'd need. You might need a couple AI tools to actually generate the content and create the images, but besides that, you only pay for the product after you've already made a sale. And marketplaces like Tik Tok Shop are completely free to post your products for sale on. Your income potential with a side hustle like this could be anywhere from maybe $4,000 on the lower end all the way up to eight or maybe even $10,000 of profit if you stay with something like this consistent over time and you build up a catalog of multiple books that all get sales occasionally. As for passiveness, after you create the product, you don't have to manage anything. These books will continue to sell on their own. So, I would give this one a score of mostly passive.

But maybe you're looking for a product with just a little bit more scale potential, and that's where the next product idea comes in, and that's selling engraved jewelry. Now, hear me out because at first it doesn't sound like that's going to be possible using AI, but take a look at this product listing on Etsy. It's a customizable necklace with the customer's pet's face and name engraved on it. Now, because I have this listing view plugin installed in Google Chrome, I can see that this single listing is selling around 300 times or making around $9,000 per month. You can see nine people have bought it just today.

The problem with selling this type of product historically is not only getting the jewelry and having the equipment to engrave it, but also preparing the artwork so that it can be engraved. This is another example of a similar product, but this one's engraved flowers instead of a pet's face. And this listing is selling around a hundred times, making around $5,400 a month.

Now, what's crazy is that the fulfillment for this type of product can also be handled by that company, Printify, that I just mentioned. So, if we search their catalog for jewelry, you can see they sell a ton of different jewelry product options that we could sell in our shop. They've got necklaces and bracelets, and they even have the circular necklace that we just saw selling super well. This one specifically costs $16.44 to get it engraved and shipped directly to the customer.

So, on a listing like this one where they're selling it for $24 and they're also charging $5.20 of shipping. If we just deduct the product costs, you can see that they're profiting around $12.75 per sale. And some of these shops build out entire brands around selling this type of engraved jewelry. Just different types of jewelry and different types of engraving on it. Now, this shop has been around for a while, but you can see that they've built up their catalog of listings, and they're currently making an estimated $30,000 per month doing this with 1,257 sales. If they're making a $12 profit on each item, that would be around $15,000 of profit.

Now, since we can handle all of the fulfillment through Printify, the main thing that AI is helping us with is formatting the artwork so that it actually can be engraved. And luckily, AI makes that super easy to do. So, the first thing we need is a customer's image. So, I'm just going to pretend like this is the image that our customer wants engraved on their jewelry. All we have to do is grab that image. We could take that image over into a tool like Nano Banana and drop in a prompt like this with the image mode on. When we submit it and after we give it a few seconds, we get an image that's almost engraving ready. Once again, all the prompts, if you want to reference them, will be right below the subscribe button. You can just open the doc. You don't have to put your email in or anything like that.

Now, this is almost ready to go, but there's just one last step. So, we just have to download the image. This downloads the full high-resolution file. And then we need to open that file in a design tool like KD. So I've just dragged this image in. If I select it, I can choose vectorize from the dropdown. And I just want to set the mode to two colors. And then I'll hit vectorize image. This essentially just makes it so that we can modify the colors that are in the image or remove them entirely. Once the image is vectorized, we can select it. And then we just want to hide the background color, which in this case is white. So now we just have the black outline of the pet. We can download this image as a PNG. And if I come over into Printify and we start creating our own custom necklace, I can just drag in that image file. And if I just generate the preview, what you'll see is we get the engraving of the pet's face exactly how you would expect. This is an engraving ready image. And you can see it maintained all of the detail and it looks like an exact replica of the original pet. We could save this product, post it for sale on marketplaces like Etsy, Tik Tok, and Amazon. And with some good SEO over time we could start making sales and one day build up a business selling engraved jewelry just like the other shops that we saw.

Now, as for the scores, the startup costs for this business are also going to be super low. I think that you could start this business for less than maybe $50. You only really need an image generator. You might have to pay for some Etsy listing fees and maybe order a sample product so that you can take some better product images, but overall it's a very low-cost business to get started. Now, for income potential, as you saw, some of the individual listings were making six to $10,000 per month on their own. And if you created a shop selling this type of custom engraved artwork using AI, I think you could get up to the point where you're making 10 to $15,000 per month in profit, once you build up that catalog and have some winning listings. Now, as for passiveness, although you are using AI to prepare the artwork and you're using Printify to fulfill all of the orders, it's slightly less passive because you still have to prepare the artwork for each sale that you make. And you'll have to deal with a little bit of customer service here and there. You're still saving on a ton of work that you'd normally have to do if you scaled one of these shops the traditional way.

But that brings us to the next idea on the list, which is one of the all-time bestselling products, and that's selling apparel. This is my bread and butter because selling apparel made me my first million dollars by the time I was 23. And with AI, it's genuinely never been a better time to get started and learn the business because we can use it to not only sell pre-made but also fully custom products.

So, if you take a look at this page of Tik Tok shop results, what you'll see is there's a ton of these t-shirt listings that are selling between a few hundred all the way up to thousands of times. And almost all of these listings are print on demand t-shirts. That's where the shop owner just has to make the design once they upload it to a marketplace like Tik Tok shop or Etsy. And whenever one of these products sells, that print on demand company is going to print the design on the t-shirt and ship it to the customer without the shop owner ever having to touch the product again.

And some of these designs make thousands of dollars a month. This t-shirt, for example, says, "I'm a big fan of human rights." super simple one-sided saying and a nice looking font and it's selling for $15.75 with $4 of shipping. Now, the shop owner is likely selling this exact t-shirt through Printify because they sell the exact same one printed and shipped directly to your customer for $14.71 in total. So, that means on a listing like this one for just under $20, they're keeping just over $5 of profit per sale. And with over 6,000 sales, they've made almost $31,000 just from this one simple t-shirt with this one saying.

But the shop that's selling this t-shirt has a ton of other listings that are all making thousands of sales. And they all follow the same exact format. It's just a simple text design in a nice looking font. And the shop overall has sold over 35,000 t-shirts. So that means that they've made over $176,000 just selling these simple t-shirts with text designs on them. And that's a conservative estimate because that excludes some of their higher ticket items like sweatshirts that make more profit per sale.

And of course, apparel doesn't only sell on Tik Tok. Etsy is the OG platform for selling apparel like this. So I made a simple search for funny shirts. And you can see that we get a bunch of different results here. Now, since I have the listing view extension installed in Google Chrome, you can see sales estimates below some of these listings. And again, individual single listings here are making anywhere from a few hundred all the way up to thousands of dollars per month. This one specifically, you can see six people bought it just today. Super simple text design and a typewriter style font. And over a hundred people have bought it just in the last month.

Now, this one sells at a higher price, $22 for the product and $6 for shipping. So, that means that they're making around $13 of profit per sale since they're able to sell on Etsy where products are perceived as a little bit higher quality. And so, this one single t-shirt is bringing in around $1,300 of profit per month. And of course, since this is such a simple process, this shop has a ton of these listings that they've posted for sale that are all making sales every single month and adding up to be what I'm sure is a very solid monthly income. And this is just some random example. There's other shops that make way more than this.

Now, there's a few ways that you can use AI to make this type of product. You probably want to start by learning how to make super simple text designs like these ones that sell super well. So to do that, you just want to grab a screenshot of a product that's already selling really well. Then you're going to want to come into a tool like Claude AI, paste the image in, and write a prompt just like this. The key here is that you're going to have Claude create original, unique designs just based around the same theme of the existing bestseller. That way, you're able to create something original without directly copying, but you're still able to target that same niche that was already selling really well. Claude's going to ask you a few questions so that it can give you the absolute best response. And after a few seconds, we get a full list of design ideas that we could go create. We could pick out some of the best ones or we could just create all of them and see what works. I can select one and just copy that idea. And if I come back into Printify, we can build out the product right inside of their product editor. All I have to do is add a text layer, paste in our saying, and we've basically created a t-shirt. If I hit preview, you can see that on the mockup, the t-shirt doesn't even look that bad. And the cool thing about using Printify is as soon as you save the product, it's going to use AI to prefill all of the details like the title, the description, and make it ready to publish for sale on sales channels like Etsy and Tik Tok or anywhere else you want to sell your apparel.

Once you create your designs and your products once, you can list them on multiple platforms. This t-shirt that just says overstimulated has sold almost 2,000 times on Tik Tok shop and the exact same listing is selling on Etsy as well. You can see it's done around 1,700 sales or made around $38,000. They create the product once, can list it on multiple platforms, and that's why this is one of my all-time favorite products. Not to mention that you can use the exact same strategy to make designs that have images and graphics in them. And over time, as you build up more of these products and list them to multiple sales channels, you can build up a real income that pays you a lot.

Now, selling apparel has a slightly higher startup cost. You might spend around $100 to get this business going. That's because you're going to need AI tools to create the sayings or even make the graphics that you sell as designs on your t-shirts. You're also going to need to pay for a few more listing fees. And it also really helps to have a product research tool like listing view installed so that you can see which specific listings are doing really well so that when you create designs, you don't waste a bunch of time creating stuff that never sells. You have to reference best sellers before you go create your own products. And that's why it costs a little bit more to get started, but it can really pay off. There's shops selling apparel that were opened around a year ago that are already scaling to $50,000 a month. And this is assuming they only have the one shop on Etsy, for example. They can list the exact same products for free on a platform like Tik Tok shop and double the amount of sales that they're making. Your income potential here is anywhere from $10,000. Again, assuming that you're staying consistent, all the way up to 30 or maybe even $50,000 per month, assuming that you're selling on multiple organic marketplaces like Etsy and Tik Tok. And that's before we even talk about running paid ads to a platform like Shopify where you own the entire website.

As for passiveness, you really get to choose how passive this business is. So, you can either make it completely passive where you're creating pre-made designs that sell on their own or you can offer custom products for sale where the customer gets to change and modify something about that product on each sale. This is going to let you sell those products for a little bit more, but it's also less passive. The cool thing is that you have options. So, you can scale this how you want to.

Now, I've sold millions of dollars of apparel over the last few years. And because of that, I created a completely free course on YouTube that you can take 100% free. I teach you absolutely everything that I know, all of the strategies for how to use organic traffic and make bestselling designs and do product research. And it's completely free. The only way that I make money from it is if you use some of the affiliate links in that video. Those help me out. But otherwise, if this is the business that you want to start, then I'd recommend checking out that video next.

But that brings us to the next business idea on the list, which is another one of my all-time favorites, and that's selling digital download artwork, and of course, Made with AI. What you'll notice if you look at websites like Etsy, is that packs of digital artwork like this one sell super well. This specific pack is a bunch of French country inspired art with sort of a rustic feel. And I almost guarantee that they're not making all of this artwork by hand. They're using AI. I'll show you how to do all of that in a second.

But what's really cool here is that this pack, you can see 11 people have bought it just in the last 24 hours, is making around $6,500 a month. And if I scroll down just a little bit, what you'll probably see is that there's a bunch of other similar artwork packs that are all making a thousand or even a few thousand a month on Etsy. When you sell a digital download, it's almost all entirely profit because you only have to pay for things like marketplace fees when it sells. There's no overhead costs or product fulfillment. So, shops like this one are able to sell both individual artwork paintings, and they're able to bundle those individual paintings into larger packs that they sell for even more money. And from what I can see, this shop selling digital art is making a lot more than most 9 to 5s would.

So, now that you've seen how much you can make with the artwork, let me show you how stupidly easy it is to make. When I'm making this type of artwork, what I like to do is grab a reference screenshot of a product that's already selling super well, and then I'll take it over into an image generation tool like Nano Banana or Midjourney, which I found works a little bit better for sellable digital artwork. From here, we want to paste that image in. And instead of having it as an image prompt, I like to move it over into the style reference. And then we just need to write a prompt describing the type of artwork that we want to create. We can also adjust the settings depending on the aspect ratio or the type of image that we want to make. But from there, we can just hit generate. Midjourney is super fast, so it only takes a few seconds. But what you can see is we get a few really super high quality results. I didn't even write a good prompt here. I just used the style reference and created a completely different scene. Since it's so fast, you can also just keep regenerating it until you get something you like. And the goal with this is just to create a similar aesthetic to what's already working so that you can target the same type of buyer just with completely original artwork. I definitely don't think any of these are too bad for five or six seconds of work.

You can also take this a step further. So if you copy the image and we can paste it over into Nano Banana with a prompt asking for it to create us a mockup image. And if we give this a few seconds to run, what you'll get is a mockup image of this painting that you could use as sort of the listing image so that you can sell this painting in your shop. So, the way that these shops are making all of their money is simply by finding existing product niches that are selling super well, replicating their art style while creating original artwork, and then posting them for sale with nice looking mock-ups as digital downloads. And as you can see, a lot of these shops are making enough to replace a nine to five income just selling digital download artwork that can easily be made using AI.

So for startup costs, this one is going to be right around the $50 range. You still need a few image modification tools to make sure that they're big enough and cropped in the right sizes. And you do need some AI image generators to help you actually make the artwork. And your income potential here is going to be anywhere from maybe 6,000 up to $20,000 a month if you're consistent and build up a catalog of a lot of these listings that sell over time. And of course, this is an extremely passive business model because all you have to do is create the artwork once and then whenever someone buys it, they just get a downloadable file. So you don't have to deliver them anything. You don't have to deal with returns or exchanges. It's just a file download. You keep the profit and the customer gets the file.

Now, this next idea isn't exactly a product, but you can repurpose the art that you might be making to sell in your shop and use it as YouTube screen savers. What you'll notice if you type in screen saver into YouTube, is that you get a bunch of these videos, which are just AI generated artwork playing for around 8 hours at a time. And these videos get hundreds of thousands of views. For example, this channel is posting nearly the same type of artwork that was selling really well in some of the Etsy shops that we took a look at. And each one is just a video two hours long playing that screen saver so that someone can put this up on their computer or their television and just leave it on in the background.

Now, they've posted a lot of these videos, but what's really cool is if we look up this exact channel on a tool like SocialBlade, what you'll see is that this channel is getting around 1.6 million views every 30 days. So that could equate up to almost $6,300 per month. YouTube pays you an RPM, which stands for revenue per mill or your revenue per thousand views that you get. And so even if you're only making $3 per thousand views, a channel like this one that's getting over a million views a month can still absolutely print. There's other channels like this one called Flowers Artwork, which specializes in posting flowers artwork. And some of their more popular videos that they posted a couple years ago, you can see have gotten millions or hundreds of thousands of views. And they're still posting videos up to this day. Once again, SocialBlade estimates that they're making around 1.5 million views per month, which could equate to around $6,000 of earnings each month. Here's one last example channel. You can see that they're posting the exact same style AI generated artwork for around two hours at a time. People can put these up on their television and just leave them playing. And this channel is getting almost 800,000 views a month, which would be anywhere from 1 to $3,000 per month in AdSense revenue.

This isn't exactly a product that you would sell, but it's a cool way that you could repurpose some of the artwork that you're selling as digital downloads on a platform like Etsy as a YouTube video screen saver. It would take you maybe 5 minutes of extra work to upload it as a video. And if you do this enough, you might be able to get lucky and start getting paid from social media as well. Now, this one has absolutely no startup costs besides the AI model. So, I'm going to put, you know, less than $10. And for income potential, you're really not going to make anything super crazy here. You might make anywhere from $1 to $6,000 a month posting this specific type of video. But if you stack this on top of selling the digital art, you could add 1 to $6,000 on top of the $10,000 that you're making from directly selling the art. Definitely not a bad option considering the AI does almost all of the work for you. And for passiveness, obviously this is entirely passive as well because all you have to do is upload the video to YouTube and then they do the rest of the work to push it out and get the views for you.

But that brings us to the next idea on the list, which is using AI to build out website templates. Take a look at these website and website templates that are selling every single month. Some of these individual listings are making anywhere from three or 4,000 all the way up to five or even $7,000 per month. So, the way that this works is a seller creates one of these templates once. For example, this is a Squarespace website template that this seller can sell over and over again. This specific template is making an estimated $6,000 a month. And again, since it's a digital product, that's going to be almost entirely profit.

Now, the shop that's selling this template has only about 27 other templates for sale. We can see that since a few of them are selling, they're able to make around $10,000 per month. And this shop has only been selling on Etsy for 8 months. And the way that they were able to scale so fast is by selling these templates towards a specialized interest. So, for example, this website template targets therapists, but they have other templates like this one that has a specific theme and layout and targeting towards coaches and consultants and entrepreneurs. Instead of trying to create just a generic plug-and-play website, they've targeted a specific industry and idea with each template they've made. And so, when a person in one of those professions looks for a template, they're going to find this one, and that's the one they're going to buy.

Now, there's a ton of ways that you can use AI to build out templates just like this. Even Squarespace, the website themselves, has a personalized AI that helps you build out websites on your own, even if you don't have existing design skills. And yes, before you ask, even though something like this exists where you basically prompt it out and it'll help you generate a website, people will still pay a couple hundred bucks to save all of the time that they'd have to spend learning how to use the AI and customizing all of the fields and content to simply have a plug-and-play template that they can download and use right away. For someone like a therapist whose time might be worth $100 an hour, spending $200 to get a plug-and-play website that's ready to go is definitely worth it.

If I was going to do this myself, I think that the coolest way to build out websites right now is using Figma Make. If you've watched my videos, you know that I'm a longtime fan of Figma and all of their products. And their new solution called Figma Make allows you to build out entire professional, fully custom websites all from a prompt. Now, we can use a similar approach to some of the other products that we've made. So, first I'm going to come into Claude and I'm going to upload a few example screenshots of the vibe that I'm going for. And then I'm going to ask it to give me a full prompt that I can use with Figma make so that I can build out the website in one go. And remember, have it ask you questions before it starts so that you get the best possible prompt. So, once again, you can see that Claude has taken all of our answers to our questions and it's created this entire prompt that we can copy. We can paste it into Figma make. We hit submit and it's going to take all of this information and build out an entire website for us.

After just a few minutes, you can see we have version one of our Figma website. So, it's called Rooted Therapy. And you can see they've maintained the same quality image and layout styles with the professional looking fonts. All of the colors match the same kind of theme and vibe of what you'd expect to see. And there's real useful content here. So, it planned out the exact type of sections that, for example, a therapist might need, and it's filled in all of the blanks for us. Not only does this function, but it also looks super great. And on top of that, if you ever need to edit something or change out the content, all you have to do is come in this little chat box, ask for the change, and it'll modify the website in real time, updating it and giving you something that you could actually use to sell yourself. And again, although this does look honestly really good just from one simple prompt, you also get all of the code files. So you can go in and edit things directly if you ever needed to. This is completely insane. Even just for fun, you should definitely play around with it.

Now, there's a lot of variety in how you could choose to actually run this business, but for startup costs, you're probably looking at the $50 to $100 range because you need some AI tools to help you build out the websites. But this also gives you a lot of flexibility for how you sell these templates. We took a look at some on Etsy that were making $6 to $10,000 per month. But you can sell websites in a lot of different ways. You can freelance them. You can post them on website template marketplaces like Squarespace or Framer. And you can even offer services where you manage and update the website for these professionals so that they don't even have to think about it. And if you went that direction, you can add recurring revenue on top of what you're already making. So, for income potential here, I think you could easily make around $6,000 per month on the lower end. And I bet you could scale just the templates up to over $10 to $15,000. And if you add some more services on top of it, you could scale the income from there. Now, for passiveness, you can either sell these as strictly templates, which is completely passive, or you could sell this as a website with upkeep, but you can charge for that as well. So, it's really up to you.

But that brings us to the next idea on the list which you can make entirely using AI, and that's selling life planners. You already know that I've talked about this product a few times, but that's because life planners are one of the best selling products online. They save people a ton of time from having to make them. They sell in that perfect $20 to $50 price range, and they absolutely print.

If you make a search for this type of product on Etsy, what you'll see is that the average listing on this entire page of search results is making around $1,000. So, if you scroll through all of these listings, you'll see that some of them are making only a few hundred, but some of them make thousands or even multiple thousands of dollars per month. These ultimate life planners are typically the best sellers. These are the ones that make the most amount of revenue, and they're typically made up of a bunch of different subtypes of planners or resources that people use to plan out and manage their lives. This one specifically is making around $8,400 a month. Again, it's a digital product, so it's almost all profit. This is just one more example. It's an all-in-one life planner, which means there's a bunch of subtypes of planners in it, and it's making 2,000 bucks a month, and it's only 3 months old.

And we can build out this product from start to finish using AI. The best way that I found to get started with something like this is to start with just one piece of a planner or a journal bundle and build that out first. For example, this student assignment tracker currently is making around $650 a month, which isn't too crazy, but keep in mind that we could add this to a larger bundle down the line. And those larger bundles that are just made up of a lot of smaller resources are where you make all the money.

So, if we wanted to start by making something like this, once again, I like to use Claude AI. And this is the prompt I wrote. It basically tells it that I want to use Notion AI to build out the assignment tracker and that I don't personally know what should be included, but that this is just one small piece of what will eventually be a larger bundle and to of course ask me clarifying questions before beginning. So, we let this run and do its thing. We let it ask me a few questions. It builds out an entire prompt that I can grab and then I can take that entire prompt into Notion AI, paste it in. I like using the Opus 4.6 model. And then I just have to let it run. It's going to build out basically everything that I need for this one specific resource. And you can see after just a few seconds, it built out the entire assignment tracker. It even filled it in with some example data that I could use in the marketing material so people can see how this actually works. I can open up some of the pages and you can see exactly what it looks like for this specific product. It even created a few different views so I could manage all of these projects depending on their status. Obviously, I could use the AI to go in and revise the design or make it a little bit more aesthetic if I needed. Most of the assignment trackers I've seen are pretty robust and data forward, but this definitely isn't a bad start. And keep in mind, this is just one asset that we could use as a part of a larger bundle. I could go through and make a few more of these resources and then bundle them together to sell as a full package. And the fact that you can go from an idea to an almost complete product in less than 5 minutes is completely insane. All that would be left is to add a few more details if we wanted to take a few screenshots and create a listing that outlines exactly what it does. And I was able to do this without any prior experience about what was supposed to be in this tracker. And you can see at least from an outside perspective that it's included a lot of the relevant information like the assignment name, the course, the due date, grade, notes, priority, status, type, weight. And so as a version one, I think this was a success.

This is a really cool one because planners are one of the bestselling product templates that you can sell online. There's entire shops that make tens of thousands of dollars per month selling templates. And so although you're not going to get there with just one or two templates, it's definitely a business that can eventually get you there if you choose to start this one. For startup costs, you will need notion AI, which is free to test out. And then if you want to keep using it, it'll cost you about $10 per month. Your income potential is probably going to be about $4 to $500 per individual resource that you make. And then I would say that you can make anywhere from around 2,000 all the way up to maybe 6 or $7,000 per bundle. But the shops that sell a lot of these planners together are where you make the most amount of money. There's individual shops that have made hundreds of thousands of dollars per year selling this product. So the income potential can really go as high as you can imagine. As for passiveness, this is once again going to be a super passive business because all you have to do is create the template once and it can go ahead and sell forever.

So, there you go. That's seven ways that you can use AI to make money. I hope you found this video interesting and maybe it gave you a few ideas about how you can make money with AI. I've got a lot of other resources on my channels about how I do these in more depth, so check those out if you want. And as always,
