Laziest Ways to Make Money with AI (For Beginners)

0:00What's the laziest way for beginners

0:02to make money online using AI?

0:04That is one of the most common questions I get asked.

0:07And honestly, who doesn't want to make good money

0:10with minimal effort or while having the freedom

0:12to work from anywhere in the world?

0:14I've made a video like this before,

0:16but since then, AI has changed everything

0:19because it can now do 90% of the work for you.

0:22So as a millionaire businessman, I'm going

0:25to use my knowledge to finally answer this question.

0:27Method one, AI clipping.

0:29This is all about getting paid to chop up other people's

0:34long-form videos into short clips, and you can use AI

0:37to do all of the work for you.

0:39You see, big creators have hours of podcasts,

0:42YouTube videos, and live streams just sitting there,

0:45and they know that short clips,

0:47like the ones you might see on TikTok

0:49or Instagram, are the easiest way to reach new fans.

0:52But you probably didn't realize

0:54that these creators will happily pay you to post them.

0:57It works because the extra exposure

0:59that creators gain from these clips earns them far more

1:02money than they pay out.

1:04Attention is the most valuable currency on the internet,

1:07and right now they're buying it from people like you.

1:10So here's exactly how you'd start.

1:12Step one, find a creator who'll pay you to clip up

1:15and post their content.

1:17The best way to do this is

1:18by using a marketplace like this called Content Rewards.

1:22Not sponsored by the way,

1:24but I do know the guy that runs it.

1:26You can browse through all of these different campaigns

1:28to find one that suits your interests

1:30and has viral potential.

1:32For example, here's a campaign that will pay you

1:35to click Lionel Messy playing football

1:37and post it on TikTok.

1:39As you can see, they'll pay you $1 for every thousand views.

1:43So if your clip gets 100,000 views, you get paid $100

1:47and you can post multiple times a day on

1:50multiple different accounts.

1:52You can download the footage here and then start clipping.

1:55Step two is to drop the creator's long-form videos into an

1:58AI clipping tool.

2:00I'm using this free one called Opus Clips,

2:02but there's loads of options out there.

2:04It finds the best moments, cuts the clip,

2:07and even adds captions.

2:09Step three, post daily to TikTok shorts and reels

2:12and submit your links on the marketplace

2:15and get paid based on your views.

2:17And step four, double down on whatever style

2:19of clip is working and take on more campaigns.

2:22But the real question is, how lazy is clipping?

2:26For learning curve, I'm going to say three days.

2:30There's honestly not much to learn.

2:32The AI does the editing, the platforms track the views,

2:35and the campaigns tell you exactly what they want.

2:38AI handles pretty much all the process.

2:41So I'm going to put AI does at 90%.

2:45The AI finds the moments, makes the cuts,

2:48writes the captions and formats everything

2:50for each platform.

2:51Your 10% of the work is spent choosing campaigns, posting,

2:55and paying attention to what works.

2:57Startup capital is only around $15 a month

3:01for a decent AI editing platform.

3:03And the tool stack, which is

3:05how many tools you actually need to learn, is just two.

3:08Whop to find the campaigns

3:10and a tool like Opus Clips, Crayo,

3:13or Catcut to make the clips.

3:14Finally, for competition,

3:16I'm afraid the truth hurts on this one.

3:19It is very high.

3:22When something is this easy to start, everyone jumps in.

3:26That's just how money works.

3:27Low barriers attract big crowds.

3:29The good news is that most people give up within a week

3:32or two, so consistency alone puts you ahead

3:35of 99% of clippers.

3:36But keep an eye on this column as you go through the video

3:39because I've ordered these seven methods from the most

3:41competitive to the least, which means the further we go,

3:45the less competition you'll have to deal with

3:47and the bigger the opportunities become.

3:49Method two, AI ghost writing.

3:52This involves using AI tools to write social media posts,

3:55newsletters, and advertising for businesses,

3:58creators, or entrepreneurs.

4:00They know they should be posting on LinkedIn,

4:02sending out newsletters and putting out content

4:04because that's where their next customers are.

4:07But they have zero time to write any of it,

4:09so they pay a ghost writer to do it for them.

4:12Now, you might be wondering,

4:14why wouldn't they just use ChatGPT

4:16and get the job done themselves?

4:18Well, because there's a bit more

4:19to it than typing in a prompt.

4:21So if I were you, this is exactly how I'd start.

4:25Step one is all about positioning.

4:28You need to pick your lane.

4:29That could be social media posts, newsletters, website text,

4:32or writing Facebook ads.

4:34Then pick one niche to focus on like finance, fitness,

4:38tech startups, or real estate.

4:40If you specialize in one sector, your clients will see you

4:43as a specialist and you'll be able to charge more,

4:46especially if you actually understand a niche.

4:48Step two is to set up a dedicated AI

4:51workspace for your client.

4:52Now, this is where the magic really starts to happen.

4:56First of all, you need to sign into Claude

4:58and click projects and then new project.

5:02I'll give it a name so I can find it later.

5:05Something like Elon Musk's newsletter.

5:08Then comes the important part.

5:10Click here to add files

5:11and drop in everything you've gathered on your client.

5:14This could be old social media posts, past newsletters,

5:18podcast appearances, interviews,

5:20and anything else you can find.

5:22And then click set project instructions.

5:26This is where you tell it exactly what you want.

5:31As you can see, I've been as detailed as possible here

5:34to make sure that it sounds exactly like the client

5:37and not some generic robot.

5:39Step three is to use a research tool like Perplexity

5:42to pull what's happening in their industry each week.

5:45So everything you write is interesting and fresh.

5:48You can ask it something like,

5:50"What are the biggest stories in electric vehicles this

5:54week?" And in seconds, you've got the latest stories

5:57with links to check them.

5:59Step four, use your research

6:01to prompt Claude to write for you.

6:03Then go through the research

6:05and give it a bit of a human touch.

6:07So how lazy is this?

6:09For learning curve, I'm going to say one to two weeks.

6:14If you can read and can tell good writing from boring

6:17writing, then you can learn this quickly.

6:19The AI handles the research and writing process.

6:22So what you're really learning is judgment,

6:25and you can pick that up by studying what performs.

6:27For AI does, I'd say 75%.

6:32AI does the research and the writing,

6:35but that missing 25% is about taste.

6:38You need to get good at choosing the best angles,

6:41editing out the typical AI speech,

6:43and knowing what your client would actually say.

6:45Startup capital is around 20 to $40

6:49a month in AI subscriptions.

6:52And the tool stack is three.

6:55Perplexity for research, clawed for the writing,

6:58and maybe some sort of scheduling tool like Typefully

7:01for social media posts or kit for email newsletters.

7:04And finally, for competition, I'd say this is high.

7:08This is because of how easy AI has made it

7:11for ordinary people to become ghost writers even without any

7:14previous writing skills.

7:16But to be fair, most people don't spend enough time learning

7:19what performs best and how to properly use the AI tools

7:22to their full potential.

7:24If you can master that missing 25%, you'll be able

7:27to stand out from the competition

7:29and charge much higher prices.

7:30Method three, AI websites.

7:33This involves building websites for businesses using AI

7:37with no coding required.

7:39The real money is in creating a specific type

7:41of website called a landing page.

7:43This is a one-page website designed to sell one thing.

7:47They're typically used by course creators, coaches,

7:50agencies, or software companies.

7:53These businesses create content and run ads

7:55and then push their audience to the landing page.

7:58And the better the pages are converting people into

8:00customers, the more money they can make.

8:03Step one is to pick an AI page builder

8:06and learn it by building a sample page

8:08for an imaginary offer so that you've got proof of

8:11what you can actually do.

8:12If you're a beginner, something like Wix

8:14or Hostinger is about as easy as it gets.

8:17And honestly, the best way to learn is just to have a go.

8:20So I'll type in something like a landing page

8:25for a personal trainer selling

8:31an online coaching program,

8:36clean and modern

8:39with a bold call to action.

8:45And look at that. It's built me a complete landing page.

8:48It's written a headline, laid out the sections,

8:52added images, and given me a great starting point.

8:55I can even click here to see it on a mobile.

8:59Honestly, I'm actually shocked at

9:02how good this actually looks from just one prompt.

9:06Once you've learned how to use an AI website builder,

9:08it's time for step two.

9:10Find businesses who have something to sell

9:12and would benefit from a high converting landing page.

9:15If you want to learn exactly how

9:17to find qualified businesses

9:18and get these businesses to pay you for any service,

9:21including this one, I'm actually running a free live online

9:25training very soon.

9:26I'll be breaking down how

9:28to start a one-person business using AI

9:31and it's completely free.

9:33So if that sounds interesting to you,

9:34click the link in the description to secure your spot.

9:37And finally, step three, charge clients per page to start,

9:41then offer to keep optimizing it for a monthly fee.

9:44But how lazy is it? Let's have a look.

9:47For learning curve, I'm going to say two to four weeks.

9:52These AI website builders have become ridiculously good.

9:56Most of your learning time is spent understanding

9:58what makes a page convert, which comes down to headlines,

10:01proof, and one clear call to action.

10:04For AI does, I'm giving this one 80%.

10:08You've seen it for yourself. AI handles all the design work.

10:12Some tools even have a feature

10:14that will test different versions of the page

10:16after launch to see which one converts best.

10:18So the AI builds the page, writes the copy,

10:21and then optimize it while you sleep.

10:24Your remaining 20% is spent finding

10:27and communicating with clients.

10:28Startup capital is around $30 a month,

10:33depending on which website builder you choose.

10:35But many offer free trials so you can practice

10:38before spending a penny.

10:39And the tool stack is one, a good website builder.

10:43And finally, for competition, I'd say it's a medium.

10:48Lots of people offer to build websites,

10:50but almost nobody builds a page that looks great

10:52and actually sells.

10:54So if you can focus on generating landing pages

10:57that make your clients money, you'll be able

10:59to stand out from the crowd and start getting paid.

11:02Method four, AI-built Shopify store.

11:06This is the ultimate shortcut into e-commerce.

11:09A Shopify store where AI picks the products,

11:12builds the shop, writes the listings,

11:14and ships every order without you touching a thing.

11:18I actually tested this out before,

11:19and I have to say, I was very impressed with

11:22how lazy it actually was

11:25and how easy it was to start seeing results.

11:28Step one, head over

11:29to this free AI tool called Build Your Store.

11:33I'll leave a link in the description, so feel free

11:35to follow along while I go through this.

11:37First, I'm going to click Start Your Free Store.

11:41Now, the tool guides you through each step, beginning

11:43with a prompt for basic details like your name and email.

11:47You'll then be asked to choose a niche

11:48with popular options like fashion, electronics, and pets.

11:52I'm of course going to pick fashion as I'm a bit

11:54of a fashionister.

11:55Onto step two. You'll be prompted to follow a series

11:59of steps that guide you through the entire setup.

12:01So let me speed run through this now.

12:09If you'd like to watch me go through the entire process,

12:12I made a whole video on it, so feel free

12:15to watch that after this.

12:16You should end up with a Shopify store

12:18that looks a bit like this.

12:19I think that's pretty cool.

12:21Now for step three, you're going

12:22to need some products to sell.

12:24The easiest way to do this is to connect AutoDS.

12:28This is an essential e-commerce tool that uses AI

12:31to fill the store with winning products.

12:33Keeps the prices and images updated

12:35and ships your items straight to your customers.

12:38You can actually connect this with Claw two,

12:40which is super helpful.

12:43And your finished door will end up looking a little

12:45bit like this.

12:47And the great thing is, this is pretty passive.

12:50You don't have to keep track of any inventory.

12:52You never package a single order

12:54and you can run the whole thing from your laptop anywhere in

12:57the world now for the scores.

13:00The learning curve, practically zero.

13:04Build your store walks you through every single step.

13:07If you can fill in an online form, you can do this.

13:10You don't need any technical knowledge or design skills.

13:12AI does 95%.

13:16As you've seen, the AI handles pretty much everything.

13:19Your 5% is just choosing a niche

13:22and sending people to your store.

13:24For startup capital, well,

13:26Build Your Store is completely free.

13:28Shopify has a three-day free trial.

13:30An AutoDS will only cost 99 cents to get started.

13:34So the total here is just 99 cents.

13:38For the tool stack, technically there are three different

13:41tools, so we're right in here, three.

13:44But remember, if you go to Build Your Store

13:46with a link in the description, it will walk you

13:48through exactly how to set everything up across

13:51all the different tools.

13:52And finally, for competition, I'd say this is a medium.

13:56As you've probably seen, there's a lot

13:58of people promoting rubbish products on social media.

14:01So the competition is technically medium.

14:04However, if you actually take the time to use AI tools

14:07to their full potential,

14:09you can easily wipe the floor with the competition.

14:11As I was planning on covering this method anyway,

14:14I reached out to AutoDS

14:15to see if they'd sponsor this portion

14:17of the video, and they agreed.

14:19So make sure to check them out

14:21because I genuinely believe

14:22that they're the best AI e-comm tool out there.

14:25Method five, AI agents.

14:27This is all about setting up AI agents for businesses.

14:31This is one of the hottest side hustles right now.

14:33AI agents are like little digital employees

14:36that handle a specific job for a business automatically.

14:40The simplest one to set up is probably an AI receptionist,

14:44which answers their calls, books appointments,

14:46and chases up leads 24 hours a day.

14:49This is so valuable

14:51because small businesses typically miss over 50%

14:54of incoming calls every day.

14:56Just think how many sales are

14:57slipping through their fingers.

14:59So why don't they just set up one

15:00of these AI agents themselves?

15:02Well, most small business owners are incredibly

15:05behind with AI.

15:07They don't even know these tools exist.

15:09Nevermind actually using them properly.

15:11If you're prepared to learn the process,

15:12you become extremely valuable.

15:14Let me walk you through it.

15:16Step one, pick one type of local business like a dentist,

15:20salons, or plumbers.

15:22Step two, use an AI tool to set up a demo AI receptionist

15:26with its own phone number that people can actually ring.

15:29I found this one called Dial Zara,

15:32so let's give it a go together.

15:33I'm going to quickly create an account.

15:36Then it asks you to describe what the business does so

15:39that the AI receptionist can respond appropriately.

15:43I'm going to write, I sell personal fitness

15:47plans online, coaching to entrepreneurs

15:52and business owners.

15:55Then click build my receptionist.

15:58But for now, let's close that

16:00and do a test call to see if it

16:02Works.

16:03Thanks for calling Tilbury Fitness.

16:04You've reached the receptionist. How can I help you today?

16:08Well, I'd like to know a little bit

16:10more about your program.

16:11So I've got quite a regime for fitness.

16:13Got it. What's your main fitness

16:15Goal right now?

16:16Really to get that six-pack up to a up to an eight.

16:19I hear you want to trim down your midsection.

16:22Since this line doesn't provide specific tips, I

16:25can take your details and, and a summary.

16:27Then a coach can reach out with tailored advice.

16:30What's, what's the best phone number

16:32and email to contact you?

16:35Okay. Well, you've got my email

16:36and phone number, so if you can contact me back on that,

16:39that'd be absolutely super.

16:40Just use the number I've contacted you now.

16:42Got it. And could you please share your name so I can pass

16:45that along with your contact number?

16:47It's Mark, the body, Tilbury.

16:50Thanks, Mark. So you want help trimming your midsection

16:53to get that six-pack look?

16:55Is there a best time for a coach to call you back?

16:58No, you can call me anytime. Thank you.

17:03Even though he left me hanging at the end,

17:05that was actually pretty impressive.

17:07I'm definitely going to look into adding one

17:09of these to my businesses.

17:10That is for sure. Step three is

17:12to walk into local businesses or contact them online

17:15and let the owner hear the AI answer live.

17:18Once I hear what it's capable of, just like you have,

17:21it basically sells itself.

17:23Step four, charge a monthly fee to keep it running.

17:26Upsell other AI agents like chatbots,

17:29and then repeat the process with more businesses.

17:32So how lazy is this AI agent method?

17:35For learning curve, I'm going to say one to two months.

17:40Not because the tools are hard, but

17:42because landing those first couple

17:44of clients takes persistence.

17:46Once you've got your demo and your first case study,

17:48it gets dramatically easier.

17:50For AI does, I'd say 85%.

17:55The agent answers every call, books the appointments,

17:58and captures every lead every day without

18:01ever having a sick day.

18:03And the remaining 15% is the setup

18:06and the relationship with the business owner.

18:08Startup capital is about $50

18:13per month, depending on which tool you use

18:16and how much usage you need.

18:17And the tool stack is just one to begin with

18:21because you can add more tools when you're ready

18:23to offer a wider variety of agents.

18:26And finally, for competition, I'd say this is low.

18:31For the first time, this isn't going to feel crowded.

18:34This is because most people either don't know about AI

18:37agents yet or aren't prepared to spend one

18:40to two months learning the skills required.

18:42This leaves a massive opportunity for those

18:44who dedicate themselves to doing this

18:46before everyone else starts to catch on.

18:48But keep watching because the opportunities continue to grow

18:52with the next two methods.

18:53Method six, AI avatars.

18:56This is all about creating a virtual AI person

18:59that looks completely real, but doesn't actually exist.

19:03In fact, I bet you've watched AI avatars online already

19:06without even realizing they weren't real people.

19:09Take this, for example, is an avatar that someone is using

19:12to sell their physical products,

19:14like the ones you can sell on Shopify.

19:16But this person is not real. It's completely made with AI.

19:21And if I scroll through the comments, you can see

19:23that no one's actually realized.

19:25That just shows you how powerful AI avatars

19:28are already becoming.

19:29You can use them to sell your own products like this

19:32or create AI influencers in a specific niche

19:35and get paid in sponsorship deals

19:37and affiliate income when you promote other brands.

19:40And the reason this is so exciting is

19:42that it removes every annoying part of being an influencer.

19:46Your avatar never has to film itself,

19:48never has a bad hair day, and never ages.

19:51That'd be nice. To start creating an avatar, I'm going

19:54to head over to Hicksfield

19:55and open up the AI influencer studio here.

19:59Now I get to design my person.

20:01And the great thing is, there's no complicated prompting.

20:04It's all just sliders and dropdowns.

20:07It's sort of like designing a character in a video game.

20:10Now, starting with character type, I'm going to select human

20:13because obviously we want our avatar

20:15to look realistic like the examples I

20:17showed you a second ago.

20:18Then we can select the gender, ethnicity, skin color,

20:23eye color, even skin conditions.

20:26There are really so many ways to personalize this avatar.

20:28So I'll just select a few of these.

20:31Okay, so I finish my selection

20:34so I can press generate influencer,

20:37and the AI will generate our very own avatar.

20:41And look at that. Honestly, that's brilliant.

20:44I could sit here for ages tweaking it,

20:46but I'll go for this now as a,

20:48he actually looks scarily like a real person.

20:51Now there are a few more steps involved if I want

20:53to bring this character to life

20:55and start creating viral content that generates money.

20:58So if you want me to do a full video on this

21:00and test this side hustle

21:01and document the whole process, comment what type

21:05of business you'd like me to try

21:06to promote with this avatar?

21:08So how does it score?

21:10For learning curve, I'm going to say two to three months.

21:15Building the initial avatar only takes a few minutes

21:18as you've seen, but creating a consistent looking face,

21:21turning your avatar images into engaging videos,

21:24giving them a personality, making them speak,

21:27and building an audience online will take a lot longer.

21:30For AI does, I'm giving this one

21:3370%.

21:36The AI generates the person, the photos, and the videos,

21:40but perfecting the content strategy is an important step

21:43that will require more knowledge, organization, and effort.

21:46What about startup capital?

21:49At the time I'm making this video, it's around $19 a month.

21:54But it varies depending on

21:55how many videos you want to create.

21:57And the tool stack is just one.

22:01Although if you wanted

22:02to use a script writing tool like Claude

22:04or a content scheduler,

22:06then you could invest in those tools too.

22:08Finally, for competition, I'd say this is low.

22:13This is a very new industry.

22:15And as you saw in the comments of that example video,

22:17most people aren't even aware

22:19that these AI avatars even exist.

22:21This means low competition

22:23and huge opportunities for those

22:25that master all of the steps.

22:27Method seven, AI app building.

22:30This is all about building real apps

22:32and software without writing a single line

22:35of code and then selling them.

22:37Custom software used to cost businesses tens of thousands

22:40to produce, but now you simply describe the app you want

22:43to create and the AI writes the code while you watch it

22:46appear on screen.

22:47There are two ways to get paid here.

22:50You can build apps for businesses and charge per project,

22:53or you can launch your own app

22:54and charge a small monthly subscription.

22:56The first one is the easier place to start

22:59because you don't have to handle any marketing or sales.

23:02You get paid once to make it.

23:04And then again, every single month to look after it.

23:07To get started, pick an AI app builder like Lovable

23:10or Emergent and learn it by recreating something simple

23:14that already exists like a calculator, a booking form,

23:18or a quote generator.

23:19Let's see if we can create something simple together

23:22to test the concept.

23:23So I'm going to go over to Emergent

23:25and type in my initial prompt.

23:28Create an app that helps people

23:33track their investments in one place,

23:37a portfolio tracker.

23:40It's then going to ask me a few questions.

23:43And once I've answered those,

23:44I'll check back in a few minutes.

23:48Okay, so it looks like our app is about ready,

23:51so let's take a look.

23:53Now that is genuinely quite impressive to see,

23:57and it only took a few minutes.

23:59Now, obviously there's clearly lots of room for improvement.

24:03It's definitely not ready to put out into the public

24:05and no one's going to pay for this.

24:07So I'd have to spend some more time prompting

24:10and testing to get things right.

24:12For learning curve, I'm going to say two

24:16to three months.

24:17Things will break and you'll fix them

24:19by telling the AI what's wrong.

24:22That back and forth is the learning curve.

24:24It's not hard like learning code.

24:27It's hard like learning to drive.

24:29A bit awkward for the first month,

24:31but eventually you get used to it.

24:33For AI does, I'd say 80%.

24:37The AI writes every line of code, designs a screen,

24:40and fixes the bugs you point out.

24:42Your 20% is deciding what to build,

24:45testing it like a customer would, and selling it.

24:48Startup capital is around 25 to $50

24:53a month for the AI tool, depending on which one you use.

24:56And the tool stack is just one, an AI app builder.

25:01And finally, for competition, it's very low

25:05because most people assume it's too complicated

25:07and won't bother spending the time it

25:09takes to learn the ropes.

25:10If you want to know what to upgrade when you start making

25:13money, then I'm going to leave that video right up there.

25:15But don't click on it just yet.

25:17Make sure to subscribe if you want to grow your wealth.

25:20Okay? I'll see you over there.
