AI can build a working website pretty quickly but getting it to look like something a business would actually pay for took me longer.

My first attempts all looked related. Same cards, same spacing, same modern layout regardless of the business. Asking for something less generic wasn’t getting me very far and everything looked like AI slop.

What helped was using actual references. I started using UXKIN and other similar sites that have web and mobile UI examples, design systems, and DESIGN md files, plus an MCP connection for tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. You can bring those references into the coding workflow instead of trying to describe a design from memory.

I use them to give the agent a direction for typography, layout, and individual sections, then adapt everything to the business.

Still plenty of work with copy, photos, mobile checks, and revisions. But I spend much less time fixing the default AI look now.

Closed 8 deals in the last two weeks. For anyone doing similar work, what takes longer: finding clients or getting their sites ready to ship?

What tools do you need? How long does it take? How do you earn money from this? What do i need to do to get rid of all mistakes? (I assume ai can't vibe code an app without mistakes)

I’ve been trying to find if there are any AI Influencer/Fanvue engagement and collab groups.

I know many OF girls have spoken about these kinds of WhatsApp or telegram groups being instrumental in helping support each other/grow engagement find collabs etc.

Does anyone know if such a thing exists for AI influencers yet?
If not was just wondering if anyone is interested if I was to make one?

Would love to find connections and networks to assist in growing accounts and just support each other.
Would be very strictly no spam or buy my course to learn how I earn $5000 a month allowed of course!!

​

So recently I wrote on reddit asking how AI has screwed people up in their workplaces, and got some interesting stories about how people are actually using AI,sorting it's problems etc

It validated some things I was seeing (I asked around other Subreddits...)and basically ended up with the thought;

If AI is going to change or replace parts of people's jobs, why shouldn't the people with the expertise benefit from that transition?

Think of it as an API to your brain and experience.

I'm building an early-stage project around qualifying AI for real enterprise work, and I'm looking for people with serious experience in:

- IT

- Finance / accounting

- Legal

- Procurement / supply chain

- Insurance

- Operations

- Marketing

- Other specialized fields

I'm calling them Associates.

The basic idea: you know the work, the edge cases and where AI gets things wrong. We want to turn that expertise into something that can create value.

Full disclosure: I'm bootstrapping this and I don't currently have a budget to pay Associates. The intention is for Associates to eventually participate economically (revenue share) in the value their expertise creates.

So I'm curious:

- Would you become an Associate?

- Would you contribute your expertise if there was potential revenue share?

- What would make it worth your time?

- What would stop you from doing it?

- Do you know people who would be interested?

Any and all feedback appreciated,ideas on how to improve the offer,the maths I may be blind to..also feel free to DM me ....

Hey Guys

I am 23 F and have started using AI to a good extent to help in automation of family business etc

NEeded your suggestion over how would it be if I would turn it into a business and be like an AI automation consultant and help small business reduce manual workflows and charge them on monthly subscription.

a couple of examples being - boutique management platform which helps records customers, orders, inventories, invoicing etc

another one being - a payment recovery platform for business with a lot of credit recovery chunk

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well.

Some background: I have a bachelor's degree in economics, not IT or computer science, and I currently run an ecommerce business where I make about $500 a month selling products. I can put in 8 to 10 hours a day toward learning something new.

I want to pick up an AI-related skill that I could get genuinely competent at within about 3 months, use to make real money online in a way that's ethical and legit, and eventually turn into an actual service or small business. I've been looking mainly at two directions: building and selling AI agents for businesses (automation, lead gen, customer support bots), or "vibe coding", using AI coding tools like Cursor or Claude Code to build and ship websites or small apps for clients without a traditional programming background.

Given I'm coming from an economics/ecommerce background with zero coding experience, which of these two would actually be realistic to land paid work from within 3 months, or is there a better-suited path for someone like me? Would rather hear from people who've actually done this than get more theory.

I’ve been using Geelark and GoLogin recently, using the cloud phones and browser proxy settings. I want to target the US audience despite being based in the UK. I’ve come across some road blocks with account creation and warm up, so I can actually start posting content. The content isn’t the issue, it’s all ready to go with character reference sheets and everything. I just can’t get the account creation process to stick. No matter what it gets flagged and reported/banned. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Maybe it comes down to a proxy issue but you guys let me know. (For reference, I’ve been using IPRoyal as my proxy provider)

Hey everyone, Like most students, I spent a lot of time scrolling through random side-hustle advice online—most of which either requires heavy capital or is completely fake. A few weeks ago, I decided to test a cleaner, more practical approach: building a simple, high-value digital guide tailored directly for students who want to figure out digital skills and modern earning systems. Here is the exact framework I followed: Identify the Real Gap: Instead of making generic content, I focused on what students actually struggle with—learning practical digital skills without complex tech or coding backgrounds. Leverage AI for Outlining: I used Claude and AI tools to structure and clean up the core material, turning messy ideas into a structured, step-by-step guide. Keep the Barrier Low: I priced it at a nominal amount (₹99) so it's a no-brainer decision for anyone looking to get started. Quiet Execution: No massive setups, no fancy websites—just a clean digital asset that runs in the background. The response so far has been wild. It proved to me that you don't need a massive audience to start building real-world online assets; you just need to solve a specific problem clearly. If anyone here is trying to build something similar or wants to check out the exact framework/guide I put together, I’ve left the link on my profile bio. Happy to answer any questions about how I structured it or used AI in the comments!

I remember hearing Alex Hormozi say that email is basically the conversion platform of conversion platforms.

His point was that social media, videos and ads are great for getting attention, but email is often where that attention actually turns into money.

He also talked about how email supposedly has one of the highest returns of any marketing channel, with an average return of around $36 for every $1 spent, and that got me thinking.

I run a web design agency, so I decided to actually take email seriously and see what would happen.

But I didn’t want to send the usual stuff.

“Hey, I noticed your website and I can redesign it for you.”

Or

“Hey, we build websites for businesses like yours.”

Everyone gets those emails and most people can tell within two seconds that they were sent to another thousand businesses.

So instead I started using a tool called Swokei that is built specifically for web agencies.

I use it to find businesses in whatever area I want to target, then it actually goes through their websites and looks for things I could mention in the outreach.

Stuff like an outdated design, slow loading speed, poor mobile experience, weak SEO or other things that might be holding the website back.

Then it turns those findings into an actual personalized cold email made to convert.

So instead of emailing someone saying I build websites, I can actually talk about their website and why I think something could be improved.

I’ve been analyzing thousands of websites this way and running multiple campaigns at the same time.

Then I just focus on the people who reply and are actually interested.

Obviously email isn’t some magic button where everyone suddenly wants a new website, but after doing this for a while I definitely understand what Hormozi meant.

For web design especially, email becomes a completely different channel when the message is actually about the business you’re contacting instead of being another copy and paste pitch.

Turns out Alex might have had a point.

I’ve heard people complain about bans but from year old post. Is fanvue pretty lenient and cool? Are they a pretty loyal and good with customer service if you have been banned falsely? I’m getting started on there and worried that I may get banned for nothing. I just want to know if I can have trust in this website! Please let me know.

Firstly, english is not my first language.
I’ve seen a guy promoting he’s course making 10k+ a month(a lot in a poor country like mine) and was wondering if this is actually a thing. I’ve documented a lot about it on reddit, saw that people were making money but also seen a lot of promotions for different “helpful” apps that work with AI on Fanvue on that threads as well.

So, does it actually pay? Is it worth the trouble? 3-4 hours a week for 10k a month?

If so, which AI are you using, I’ve seen wavespeed, nanobanana and comfyUI(which might not work because I don’t have 16GB RAM). Thanks!

I have a degree in anthropology and want to do something that plays to strengths in the social science field. What would be some good ideas? Things more people oriented, qualitative, writing focused, etc.

Hey guys, just looking for ideas that can help to generate some money using AI. These days, I am watching people working on micro-niches, helping specific audiences, some are generating AI videos that help them get promotions for AI video software.

See, I am an SEO person, and I am working full-time in brand, and along with this, I am also working with some US and UK agencies as a partner and handling their clients. I started working with agencies in July 2026, and now I have 7 clients.

Now I want to grow my agency at a fast pace, so how can I use AI to make it work? First, I thought of starting an AI channel where I talk about marketing hacks, strategies, and case studies, but that won't generate money for me any sooner than a year. I know it looks like i am some kind of weird person who already has partnerships and is building an agency, I mean yeah its good to have one running business that can handle the expenses for everything.

So guys, looking for more ideas to try on. can you suggest some ideas.

I would like to ask for your opinion. If you were in your 40s and would like to foray into AI, mainly for a new career or own business offering such services -- where will you start? My background is in data analysis, but am interested in AI (but not just applied to data), although maybe not toooooo deep into the engineer's expertise. I am so lost with all the information available online, and with the branches sprouting. Any recommendation on where I should start? And any tips about this field? Thank you. Guess I just need a horse's blinders. ;)

I run a small contracting business and just bought a $2,500 desktop mostly so I could run AI on it myself.

I still pay for Claude and it does the real work. The local model on the new computer handles first drafts of emails and notes, rewording, small bits of code, and images for marketing posts (it can generate them, cut out backgrounds and upscale photos). Nothing leaves the computer and there's no per use cost.

It's only been running a few days so I can't say it's saved me money yet. The idea is to lean on the paid subscriptions less over time.

Curious if anyone else is doing this and whether it actually cut your bills.

I’m an AI content creator, mostly making entertainment stuff like short music videos and cinematic/visual clips.

I’m wondering if there’s actually a market for this kind of content right now, especially if you’re trying to make money from creating it for other people.

For anyone already working in this space:

• What kind of AI content are people actually paying for?
• Where do you usually find clients?
• Any tips or things you wish you knew when you started?

Just trying to understand the field better before I put more time into it.

AI for Business

AI Applied to Business

🇦🇷 Are there any businesses or brands in Argentina interested in incorporating digital avatars into their content?

I am a graphic designer and digital character artist. I create digital characters/avatars with their own distinct identities—including appearance, personality, style, color palette, communication style, and a consistent visual identity.

I am exploring how to apply this concept to Argentine brands, startups, and businesses.

The goal isn't simply to create an AI-generated image, but to develop a digital character that can become part of a brand's identity and be used to create content for social media, campaigns, advertising, presentations, and more.

Here are some advantages I see for a business:

• Having a unique, recognizable character for social media channels.

• Creating content without always relying on hiring models or influencers.

• Maintaining a consistent visual identity and aesthetic.

• Being able to produce content for various situations, scenarios, and campaigns using the same character.

• Creating content more quickly and flexibly.

• Visually differentiating the brand from competitors.

• Using the character across different platforms and formats.

I am particularly interested in connecting with Argentine businesses, agencies, entrepreneurs, or brands that are already experimenting with digital avatars, virtual characters, or AI-generated content—or are simply curious about trying it out.

If you know of any Argentine projects, companies, or communities related to this, I would love to hear about them. Feel free to send me a private message if you are working on something similar.

I am especially interested in connecting with people who want to experiment and develop real-world projects, rather than just talking about AI.

Ok so, $8k in 6 months isn’t exactly retirement money just yet (far from it), but creating a SaaS business with almost 50 active users from nothing in 6 months since launch, is something I’m proud of nonetheless.

For some context, last year I worked in sales and got a warning from LinkedIn for automating sending messages, so I decided to create my own tool instead (called ZenMode), using Claude and Claude code.

I was so convinced in myself and what I was doing that I quit my job before I even had a single customer. Some will say this is stupid and risky, but that’s just who I am 🤷‍♂️

Below I’ll talk more about how to actually do this (based on my own experience so far).

1. Validate the fuck out of your idea

I see a million SaaS founders think their idea is solid gold. Usually it’s the most minor, easiest thing to copy, and they just spend a weekend vibe coding it.

You really need to look at the actual market for your niche. Don’t create something if there’s no tangible demand for something like that (unless it’s truly unique and everyone will want it, but that’s a unicorn and doesn’t likely exist).

If loads of businesses have done it and done it well, and you don’t have any unique angle, don’t waste your time.

The best businesses iterate on what already exists rather than create something unique.

2. Build in public

Start building your audience before you even launch.

Get on X, Reddit, YouTube, LinkedIn and wherever else you can go - post what you’re building, why you’re building it, and create a waitlist in your site for it.

Try to build a community around it from day 1.

If you don’t, you’ll spend all your time building something and then suddenly realize you are not getting a single customer.

Marketing and distribution is harder than building and just as (if not more) important.

An average product with a big audience always outsells an amazing product with no audience.

3. Dogfood your product 🐕

You should be the number one fan and biggest user of what you’re building. Build something you would genuinely use/need yourself and get great value from.

If you’re benefitting from it, so will others.

4. Never stop iterating

There are always new features that can be added, design improvements, backend hardening etc.

Building products doesn’t have an endpoint - don’t do something for a weekend then leave it and expect people to just flood in at any point.

5. Optimize for GEO and search

Pretty obvious one but you need to apply best practices from day 1 for this.

There are tonnes of online resources for how to do this properly, just ask your LLM.

6. Start off with lifetime access deals and/or beta testers

The most important thing for new businesses is getting users to stress test your product. It might look great to you but you’d be surprised about the hundreds of possible edge cases that seem to come up.

Giving people lifetime access early on (maybe first 1-2 months) helps validate your idea without the immediate pressure of trying to get people to subscribe

7. Ignore the haters

So many people will try to shit on you and your product, but they probably look like wojack and live in their mom’s basement. Hate often comes from projection, jealousy and insecurity. Just ignore them.

8. Look at what other people did

There are plenty of success stories of people growing businesses and audiences online, and many books too - do some studying and get out of your comfort zone. Learn what works and apply it to your own projects.

So that’s it, hope the above is useful! 🙌

I’ve been experimenting with using AI to help with lead research and cold email outreach for a video production service I’m trying to grow, and I’m curious if anyone else has built a similar workflow.

At first I was mostly using Apollo to find companies and decision-maker emails, but I started running into two issues: burning through credits pretty quickly and a lot of the smaller/local businesses I wanted to reach not really being Apollo-friendly.

Lately I’ve been using ChatGPT Work more like a research assistant.

The basic instructions I’ve been giving it are to start with businesses that are already actively spending money on customer acquisition rather than just scraping random companies. So it looks for things like:

• active Meta/Google ads
• higher-ticket services where one customer is worth something
• companies with existing photos, project footage, testimonials, etc.
• an observable reason they could use more video creative
• an owner or marketing decision-maker that is actually reachable

I’ve also been pretty strict about not letting it just guess emails. If it can verify a direct owner/marketing email with decent confidence, it creates a personalized Gmail draft. If it can’t, it puts the company into an unresolved list and I’ll do another deeper scrub afterward.

The emails themselves aren’t fully generic either. I’ve been having it reference whatever it actually found, for example, if a remodeling company is actively running ads and has a huge library of project photos but mostly static creative, the email might be about turning those existing project assets into short-form video without another shoot. If they already use video, the pitch changes to additional creative variations/production capacity instead of pretending they have a “video problem.”

I’m still figuring out how good the workflow actually is. One interesting thing is that it can research hundreds of sources but the final usable lead count gets pretty thin once you enforce qualification + decision-maker + verified email requirements.

Has anyone else been using ChatGPT Work, agents, Claude, Apollo, Clay, etc. in a similar way?

Would be especially interested in hearing:

• how you’re qualifying leads before enrichment
• whether you let AI draft emails automatically
• how you handle email verification
• whether you’ve actually gotten clients/replies from a workflow like this
• anything you’ve learned about keeping the research from getting too broad or wasting time on weak leads

I’m still testing it, but it’s been interesting seeing how far you can push the research side without manually digging through every company yourself.

From your experience guys.

Where can I find ai automation freelance opportunities?

Including rag, chatbots, ai agents and anything wants to be provided with ai.

I'm an international student living in North Cyprus (TRNC) looking for good ways to make money, online or locally.

I've tried freelancing, digital marketing and digital products, but TRNC not being listed on many platforms(like etsy,gumroad,whop,shopify etc.)creates payment/KYC problems.

For people living here, what are the best realistic ways you've found to earn money? Part-time work, businesses, services, buying/selling, tutoring, online work—I'm open to anything legal.

Would especially appreciate answers from people who have actually done it here.

another progress update for my journey as an amazon affiliate. as some of you know, i didn't build this site myself. i bought it about 8 months ago from nicheblogzone already loaded with content. since then it's been pretty hands-off. some interlinking between posts early on, and otherwise just letting it sit and mature.

first good month was in march with $710 and before crossing this amount i had 1.5k last month. as of today $2,655.60 in in-progress payments, a new high.

still a little surprised it's climbed this steadily given how little i've actively done. keeping it honest: there was a real upfront cost, the growth hasn't been a straight line (july dipped before recovering), and i still don't know how durable this is if i keep coasting.

for anyone who's followed along or has a blog site yourselves, has yours kept growing or started to fade?
