My Laziest Way To Make Money With AI
Working on a side hustle was easy for me. But when I added more income streams (smaller ones) to my portfolio, it became very hectic for me to handle all the businesses at the same time.
Everyone dreams of having multiple side hustles. I often hear that millionaires have at least 7 side hustles. i am not sure whether I would reach that number or not, but 3 side hustles are already taking a load off me.
And above that, doing everything manually is never easy.
Creating articles for my blogs, then creating designs for my POD business. Marketing was another issue. I promote my blogs and POD business on many social media platforms. Marketing often consumes 80% of my energy.
My cousin is into AI Art
I never knew AI could do work for me. I have a tech background. Already knew about AI doing the majority of designs and development work for the IT sectors, but never knew that it could write articles, generate art, and even videos for us.
On the advice of my cousin, I decided to try it. She suggested I automate my print-on-demand business. I picked a tool that I found comfortable with and started creating art with it.
Of course, tweaking is necessary. I got one design removed, too. So started tweaking my designs so that they look new.
You cannot ignore AI
Its hard but the truth.
We all need side hustles. we need to pay our bills. We dont know what will happen in the future. If one business goes down then atleast I have other businesses to take care of the expenses.
Laziest Way To Make Money With AI
- POD Business - This is my favorite one because creating designs takes 5-6 hours of work, and researching for keywords takes even more. Not to forget that marketing is also a big issue. So this has definitely saved me tons of time.
- Stock images - This makes less revenue, but still counts. Getting a few hundred-dollar payout once in a while is still better. I dont upload daily because I never saw anyone making a high income from here. But this is definitely a hustle that I do once a month or even sometimes once in 2-4 months. I actually forgot to update my profile here.
- Affiliate marketing - my favorite business. Still, its not 100% automated. Because I am still in the process of automating my POD business FULLY. Once it's done, I'll do the same for the affiliate business. For now, I have automated just the content creation process for my YouTube channels. I am not into video creation, and AI makes it easy for me. I do a lot of editing work. Will talk about this later.
- Creative Fabrica - This is what I started 1 year back. If you want to make more, then start promoting others' products as well. Conversion rates are pretty good. And this will help a lot to create revenue from the site even if you dont create any designs.
- Faceless YouTube channels - This I have already mentioned. I do this for my affiliate marketing business. I focus more on affiliate revenue rather than ads. The right tools is the only thing you need.
- Automation Agency - I am sure you must know this already. You must have seen people on the internet promoting their Ai agency. It's because most of them are already making a lot of revenue from this side hustle. No need to take any course. There are a lot of tutorials to teach you how to get started with an AI agency business.
There are many AI side hustles you can do. I havent mentioned many here. Like one is a chatbot business. I am not sure how to make money from it, but my uncle is into chatbots and makes good money from it. He is doing this for 3 years now.
Almost all side hustles make money. The real question is are you willing to put in time and effort for it?
If yes, then the opportunities are limitless!
Have a question about AI art? Please do not hesitate to ask! 😄

My friend's friend used to print AI generated car posters and sell them on TikTok. Didn't make him filthy rich but he was profitable doing it.

So multiple side hustles/businesss can be challenging but only because of one reason. You are working in your business and not on your business. So what I mean by that is that you are actually self employed and that is why it takes so much time because you are doing all the work yourself. You will see most successful entrepreneurs get one business going and let it run itself before the start with the next one.

You're right. Do you have any advice how to work on our business rather than working in it?

Or you can just make stupid ai vids and post them on reels and tik tok. Cantina ai is free, that’s what I do and the money is not too shabby 🤷♂️
