In the fast-moving world of Artificial Intelligence, there seems to be a dozen new tools coming out every day.
The hard part is knowing which ones are worthwhile.
So we made you a list of some of our favorites along with a few side hustles you can pair them with.
Enjoy!
#1: Content Assistant
This is where you help content creators & businesses create a plan/strategy for their social media.
Researching topics
Coming up with ideas
Writing captions
Finding new trends/topics
Writing scripts for videos
Marketing/promotional material
Tool #1: VidIQ helps with research, title variations/ranking, tags and a few other things. We pay $49 a month for this.
Tool #2: ChatGPT can help make more title variations for youtube videos, write basic scripts, help come up with topic ideas... this tool is free (for now)
How would you actually make money with this?
Create a list of 100+ businesses & influencers that you believe you could help with their content, and reach out to every single one.
Offer to help them for free for 30 days. Do whatever you can to get the opportunity to show them
how much of a valuable asset you can be to their team. This will lead to a paid position IF you can bring results.
#2: Twitter Ghostwriting
Twitter ghostwriters make $2-3k a month, sometimes up to 10k. It just depends on their workload & the results they are getting.
The premise here is to fully automate the Twitter page for a brand or content creator.
To do this effectively, you will need to have studied how they speak, their communication style & their industry. That is the only way to sound like them & create the content they would want to have posted.
Usually, you make a massive amount of posts, and then they go through them all once a week and give you a yes/no on each one, or some feedback to change something.
What AI tools should you use to help?
How do you get paying clients?
Send them a cold DM and email with an example of a few tweets that would really knock their socks off, and offer to work for free.
Or do a guarantee (you don’t pay if you don’t grow by X). Put an impressive metric to it, and you still get to collect the cash upfront, which is a smart business move on your part…
We recommend a minimum retainer of $1,000. If you are posting multiple times per day, this is well worth it for the creator/brand that is paying you. Especially if you drive results.
Once you get some skills & have the results to back it up, you should be able to amass a list of clients paying you MORE than $1,000/m to handle this for them.
We pay more than that for our social media...
#3: Email Marketing
There are some impressive AI tools when it comes to long-format writing. From writing an essay in school to an email campaign for a company, the opportunity is endless.
Rytr.me is going to be a primary tool for emails, but ChatGPT can assist as well.
Businesses pay big money for high-quality emails.
You might not get AI to do 100% of the work for you, but it can get you most of the way there.
Again, reach out to businesses (ideally online businesses/marketers) and offer to do their emails for free to prove the performance. This will also give you a great opportunity to learn.
You know what they say, the riches are in the niches.
#4: Language Translation
Did you know that Mr. Beast gets MORE views on his YouTube channels in different languages than he does on his main one in English?
That’s right, he takes his videos and has them put into MULTIPLE different languages.
This opens him up to different markets.
He has a full team, including voice actors. So It goes a lot deeper than just using AI.
However, you can do this on a small scale, translating things by using AI.
Chatgpt can translate - It’s free, but there’s not as much support as these others.
MemoQ translator pro - It costs money, but offers more
Systran translate PRO - It costs money, but offers more
(Here’s a link to an article sharing the best AI translation tools):
You can charge $100’s of dollars to translate a simple video.
There are plenty of people looking for translation services, you just need to focus on speed. Get it back to them quickly, and then they will use you again
You could even offer this as a freelancing service on many of the large freelancing sites
(Upwork, Fiver, Freelancer...)
#5: Selling Products Online (Print-on-demand or Dropshipping)
There are a lot of tools you can use to help.
ChatGPT for store name & domain ideas
DALLE-E to make photos
Canva AI to make photos
Rytr to make emails and other copy.
It won’t run the whole business for you, and there are a lot of skills you need to build before you can actually make money with it. But it’s such a large opportunity.
AI can create a lot of the backbone for your marketing, then you just need to run the ads & make the content to get your product in front of potential customers.
This could be through Facebook Ads, TikTok Ads, Twitter threads or even organic video posting on Tiktok. The options are plentiful, and we recommend you start with just 1 or 2.
#6: AI-Generated People
Companies spend billions a year on marketing material.
Sometimes there are liability lawsuits, or possible exposure looming overhead.
Maybe they accidentally used a clip they shouldn’t have, or the actor lied saying they were 18, but they are 17 & now they broke privacy policies for a minor in a mainstream ad campaign....
Whatever it is, there’s always a need for content.
There’s a tool called Generated Photos
It makes unique photos of people, instantly. You can use this for a long list of things.
Companies spend a lot of money on models for ads. If you could replace that cost with this, it could be great savings for them, and an income stream for you.
There’s opportunity everywhere, you must choose to see it. Opportunity will not seek you out.
It’s the other way around.
More softwares that are worth a damn:

Sell custom writing in a specific style
#2 - Mixo.io
Create a custom website with a small description in seconds.
#3 - cookup.ai

#4 - repurpose.io
Content creators are spending lots of time hiring short-form content editors, or tons of time doing it themselves. It’s a massive trend, bringing great results
This AI tool helps automate the process, saving both time and money. A great option for creators on a limited budget
#5 - browse.ai
Extract/scrape data automatically with no code
Great for spying as a service -> Product researcher
Great for scraping leads for cold email
Great for monitoring real estate listing prices
#6 - copy.ai
Copy.AI is great for selling copy as a service (Product descriptions, emails, sales pages, homework, resumes, etc). This could make a great impact if you plan on doing freelance services of any kind.
#7 - jasper.ai
A well known tool focused on helping bloggers be even better!
#8 - Adobe Enhance
Clean up podcast audio for podcasters in a click of a button. Saves you tons of time (and money) to get a higher quality product.
Audio is the single most important thing to keep retention. With poor audio, your listeners will leave. Especially for a podcast with no visual component
#9 - rytr.me
RYTR is a writing tool, primarily used for emails. However, it can be used for website copy, descriptions, long form script writing….
Think of this as a better writing tool than ChatGPT, designed specifically for writing.
#10 - legalrobot.com
Legal Robot is an AI tool that aims to assist their customers with legal matters. This could mean you no longer need to retain an attorney, or consult with one, for simple legal matters.
Although it’s a great idea to trust but verify, this company can help with simple tasks like contract reviews and compliance tools.
#11 - fireflies.ai
Fireflies is a tool that automatically takes notes in your meetings. This could be very helpful for small businesses!
Save time, and get more detailed notes. We like this idea!
