Hey all,
I want to start earning a little bit of extra cash every day, strictly online. I’m not looking for physical jobs, just things I can do remotely using my laptop or smartphone.
I don’t mind if the payout is small. I just want something realistic that can generate some income within a single day.
What do you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance!
Not the “quick money” answer.
I mean genuinely long-term useful.
Something you think will still matter 2–3 years from now even after AI tools become easier for everyone.
Could be:
– automation
– sales
– distribution
– content
– coding
– AI workflows
– audience building
– something else
Lately I’ve started feeling like the people who understand distribution and systems are gaining a bigger advantage than the people just testing random tools every day.
Curious what others here honestly think.
Everyone says faceless Youtube is an easy AI side hustle. I studied the workflow and made two videos, traffic is slow, which I'm fine with for now.
It just looks easy and isn't. There's a lot of real skill involved.
what actually differentiates tiers of faceless creators (beginner vs serious vs top), what should I prioritize learning, and what improvements tend to correlate with growth?
Ok so I'll be the first to admit that I'm kind of just trying to figure out how to bring my a.i integrated sop document generator to market and get it in front of the people who could really benefit from this product. I am very certain that standard Blueprint is above and beyond any other product in this particular niche. Any advice would be very appreciated .
A few months ago I was a traditional magazine editor with zero coding background. Now I somehow spend my evenings checking Vercel logs, debugging app flows, and trying to survive solo founder content marketing.
Ironically, the hardest part has not been coding. It’s content. Every platform wants a completely different personality. TikTok wants emotional hooks, X wants short observations, LinkedIn wants professional reflection, Reddit hates self-promo. Today I was complaining about this to Claude and realized I had unintentionally developed a repeatable workflow over the past few months.
Basically:
…then restructure them into platform-specific content.
I ended up turning the workflow itself into an AI “skill.”
The funny part is that I think this came directly from my old magazine editor brain. I spent years learning how to tell the same story differently depending on audience and format. Apparently that became unexpectedly useful in AI-assisted creator workflows.
I still don’t know if any of this becomes a business. But it’s the first time I’ve felt like old-world creative skills might actually survive into the AI era.
Hey guys recently I saw a reel and it' Show like Create a AI influencer and Make $8000 per month and I thought it is Easy to make a AI influencer and Make Thousand of $ but I fail
I just want to ask it is me or you also start a thing like this and Fail
I will start a AI agency in Ai automation and multi Agent System is it Good Decision in 2026?Help me guys....
Everyone talks about making $5k–$10k with AI.
But almost no one explains the first step:
- How do you make your first $100?
From what I’ve seen, most people don’t start big.
They start small really small.
Here are 3 simple ways beginners are actually doing it:
1. AI + Freelancing (fastest start)
– Writing captions
– Creating basic designs
– Simple research tasks
Using tools like ChatGPT or Canva.
First goal:
Get 1 client for $20–$50
Not perfect work. Just useful.
2. Automation setups (underrated)
-Basic lead capture
-Auto replies
-Simple workflows
Built using tools like Make.com or Google Sheets.
- Businesses don’t care about “AI”
- They care about saving time
3. Content → Small monetization
- Pick one niche
- Share useful content
- Build small audience
Then:
- Affiliate links
- Simple digital product
- Or small service
Reality:
Your first $100 won’t come from something “crazy”.
It usually comes from:
- solving a small problem
- for a real person
Simple plan (if starting today):
Day 1–3 → pick niche
Day 4–10 → learn 1 tool
Day 10–20 → offer small service
Day 20–30 → close first client
Nothing fancy.
But it works.
Curious: What’s stopping you from making your first $100 right now?
Most AI presentation tools focus on the last 20% of the process, which are themes, animations, colors, templates, transitions. But they usually don`t cover the part people struggle the most with.
It’s that phase where you have messy notes, scattered research, half-formed ideas or too much information and no clear structure yet.
So basically the thing is that we need to do many presentations while not being designers. We just have a task, we need to pitch it to clients or probably make some pptx to show some data, but making presentations is actually harder than we think.
That’s the part we’ve been focusing on with Decksy. Not just generating slides, but helping turn unstructured input into a presentation that actually flows logically.
A big focus for us has been:
It saves a lot of time when you already have the material or ideas, but not enough time (or presentation experience) to turn everything into a well-structured deck yourself.
One thing I do want to say clearly though:
This is still a tool, not a replacement for professional designers.
Decksy works well for work presentations, student projects, internal decks, pitches, and general communication.
Do you use any ai presentation makers and what is your experience with them? Or maybe there are features you wish were added?
But if you need something highly creative, deeply branded, or built for high-level marketing campaigns, custom design work is still on another level entirely.
I sell digital products. My usual deliverables are things like Canva/notion templates or google docs - static, easy to ship.
Lately I've been experimenting with a different shape of product: more "personalized" and interactive - think standalone html, lightweight mini-apps, almost a tiny "OS" for a specific workflow. Vibe coding + ai made it surprisingly fast to prototype (yesterday I threw together an interactive "freelancer kit" as html)
It feels like a step up: higher perceived value, clearer differentiation, and the buyer gets something they can actually use instead of just copy-paste into another tool.
But I'm genuinely unsure whether this is a real upgrade buyers care about- or mostly a novelty that adds maintenance / support overhead without moving the needle on sales.
For people who sell templates, kits, or info products: would you treat interactive html / small apps as the new baseline, or as an optional premium tie? what would make you not want this as the default deliverable?
If I lost everything today…
No audience.
No followers.
No money.
I wouldn’t start by chasing “$10k/month with AI”.
I’d start much simpler.
Most people fail because they try too many things at once.
Content. Freelancing. Automation. Tools.
It feels productive… but it’s just confusion.
If I had to restart, I’d pick just one path.
Not because the others don’t work but because nothing works if you keep switching.
Let’s say I choose AI content.
I wouldn’t try to go viral.
I’d pick one niche, one format, and repeat it.
Same style posts. Same type of ideas.
At the beginning, consistency matters more than creativity.
Before posting anything publicly, I’d create at least 10–20 pieces.
Not to be perfect.
But to understand what actually works and what doesn’t.
Most people quit before they even reach this stage.
And here’s the part nobody likes to hear:
I wouldn’t focus on making big money.
I’d focus on the first $50.
Because that’s the point where everything changes.
That’s where you realize:
this actually works.
Once there’s even a little attention coming in…
that’s where I’d do something most people ignore.
I’d respond fast.
Follow up.
Actually talk to people.
Because attention without a system is just wasted effort.
And then I’d repeat this for 30 days.
Not 3 days. Not 1 week.
30 days of doing the same thing.
That’s where patterns start to appear.
That’s where things start to make sense.
AI works.
But only if you stop chasing hype and start building something simple.
Curious:
If you had to pick ONE path today
content, freelance, or automation what would you choose?
I’ve been seeing a lot of different methods here:
- AI influencers
- automation services
- freelancing
- content + affiliate
But I’m curious about something real:
What’s actually working for YOU right now?
Not theory. Not something you saw on YouTube.
Something you’ve personally tried even small results count.
Also:
What didn’t work?
That’s equally important.
Would be interesting to see what’s real vs what’s just hype in this space.
I’ve got about 4.5 million ElevenLabs credits and enough AI voice workflow knowledge to do some damage with it.
Feels wasteful to just sit on it, so I’m curious what creators here think the smartest angle is.
I'm sure there’s probably a win-win somewhere between people with ideas/audience and someone with large voice generation capacity.
What would you do?
I’ve been going through a lot of AI income content lately - YouTube, Reddit, case studies.
Most of it is either too complicated… or just hype.
So I tried to simplify things into 3 methods that people are actually using to make money:
1. AI Freelance (service-based)
Instead of chasing random gigs, people are using AI to offer simple services like:
– Image generation
– Content writing
– Short-form video editing
- You don’t need to be an expert, just need a clear offer.
2. AI Automation (system-based)
This is where things get interesting.
People are building simple systems like:
– Instant lead replies
– Auto follow-ups
– Basic chat automation
- This is less about tools, more about solving a business problem.
3. AI Content (long-term)
Some are focusing on:
– Niche pages
– YouTube automation
– Blogs + affiliate
- Slow start, but scalable.
Reality check:
Most people fail not because of tools…
But because they keep jumping between methods.
The ones making money:
– Pick one
– Stick to it
– Build a system around it
I’ve actually broken these down into simple step-by-step (beginner friendly).
If anyone wants, I can share it here
I need to know what are the best easiest and fastest to learn ai income skills and i have 0 budget bec im kinda broke atm any help?
Lately I’ve noticed something interesting:
A lot of AI business models sound incredibly easy when you first discover them online.
AI influencers.
Automation agencies.
AI SaaS.
Faceless content.
Newsletters.
Lead gen systems.
But once you actually try building one yourself, the reality feels completely different.
Not necessarily impossible.
Just… way less simple than people make it sound.
Usually the hard part isn’t the AI itself.
It’s:
- consistency
- distribution
- getting attention
- understanding customers
- staying focused long enough
- and turning random activity into an actual system
Curious what people here have personally experienced.
What AI “opportunity” looked easy from the outside but felt very different once you got into it?
Genuine question for this sub. Every other post in the AI income space is some version of "I made $17,000 this month with one prompt" or "$7,000 in 7 days using ChatGPT." I want to know if anyone reading this still buys it, or if the whole space has quietly stopped pretending these numbers are real.
Because here is the thing nobody seems to say out loud.
The hype numbers are not aimed at people who could verify them. They are aimed at beginners. Specifically, beginners who have never run any kind of business and have no frame of reference for what these numbers should actually look like. $17,000 a month sounds achievable in a vague way. The marketing is calibrated to that gap in experience.
What gets lost in the noise is the actual math of starting from zero.
A realistic first goal in this space is something like $500 a month. At a $19 product, that is roughly 27 sales. Roughly one sale a day. That is the entire game in month one or two. Not viral launches, not five-figure months, not "I quit my job in 90 days." One human being deciding your $19 thing is worth their money. Then doing it again tomorrow.
The reason this matters is that the hype numbers actively hurt beginners. They make the real first milestone feel too small to bother with. People quit at $50/month because they are comparing themselves to a $17,000/month claim that was probably never real to begin with. Meanwhile $50/month, sustained and grown, is the actual path.
The marketing playbook seems to be: keep the hype numbers visible enough to get clicks, vague enough to never get challenged, and clean enough (always ending in 7 for some reason) that they signal "this is impressive" without inviting questions about how they were calculated.
So I am curious what people in this sub think.
If you are early in your journey, are these big-number claims still motivating you, or have you started tuning them out?
If you have actually built something in this space, were your real numbers anywhere close to the ones the loudest creators post?
Not trying to call anyone out specifically. Trying to figure out where the line is between "this space is real and works" and "this space is mostly marketing aimed at people who cannot tell the difference yet."
Everyone talks about making $5k–$10k with AI.
But almost no one talks about the first $100.
And honestly, that’s where most people get stuck.
From what I’ve seen (and even experienced early on), the problem isn’t that AI doesn’t work.
The problem is how people approach it.
Here’s what usually happens:
Someone gets interested in AI.
They start watching YouTube videos.
One video says “start an AI influencer page”
Another says “do automation services”
Another says “sell digital products”
So they try everything.
A bit of content.
A bit of freelancing.
A bit of automation.
But nothing long enough to actually work.
After a few days or weeks, they feel like:
“maybe this doesn’t work”
And they move on.
The truth is:
Most people don’t fail because AI is hard.
They fail because they never stay consistent with one simple direction.
The first $100 usually doesn’t come from something big or “smart”.
It comes from something simple like:
- writing basic content for someone
- setting up a small automation
- creating a simple design
- helping someone solve one small problem
Nothing fancy.
Nothing viral.
Just useful.
But here’s the part people ignore:
Even these simple things take time.
You might:
- send 20 messages before getting 1 reply
- try 2–3 offers before one clicks
- spend days learning something basic
And most people quit before that.
Another mistake I see a lot:
People chase ideas instead of results.
They keep thinking:
“what’s the best method?”
“what’s trending right now?”
Instead of asking:
“what can I actually execute consistently for the next 30 days?”
Because consistency is what gets you the first result.
Not the “perfect idea”.
Once you make your first $50 or $100:
Everything changes.
You stop guessing.
You start understanding what works.
And scaling becomes much easier.
But most people never reach that stage.
So the real question is:
What’s stopping people?
Lack of skill?
Too many options?
Or just not sticking long enough?
Curious to hear your thoughts.
Something I’ve started noticing:
Most people trying to make money with AI spend almost all their time consuming content.
Watching videos.
Saving tool lists.
Testing random prompts.
But the people who actually start getting results usually shift into something else very quickly:
distribution.
They stop asking:
“What’s the best AI tool?”
And start asking:
“How do I get this in front of real people?”
That’s where things change.
Because even simple AI skills become valuable when attached to:
- traffic
- audience
- outreach
- content
- or solving a real problem
A basic automation with no users = useless.
A simple AI workflow solving a real business problem = valuable.
I honestly think this is where a lot of beginners get stuck.
They spend months learning tools but almost no time learning:
- marketing
- positioning
- audience building
- or sales
Even small distribution can change everything.
A Reddit post.
A small niche page.
Cold outreach.
A simple website.
A newsletter.
That’s usually where the first real opportunities start appearing.
Do you think AI skills alone are enough anymore, or is distribution becoming the real skill now?
I discovered why a pre-filter is so powerful.
A pre-filter eliminates hesitation & converts identity into action.
The purpose is to test it to see if I can get it to work for me.
The 1st step will be a pre-filter identity phase. This is meant to make offers feel like there is:
needed.
Most offers are missing this.
My hope is the pre-filtered identity 1st layer will act as a selection gate. So, instead of using persuasion, it reframes "This is what people like me already do."
So, my systems I am building is pre-filter = behavior identity selection.
Let me know what you think.
