4 More Easy Ways to Make Money With AI in 2023

According to ChatGPT-4 and a Six-Figure Creator

Credit: Canva Pro

I recently wrote about how I’m using AI to generate additional income for my one-person business.

These AI income strategies and tools helped me double my revenue from last year without having to outsource additional tasks.

I’m always brainstorming new ways to use AI to make money, from creating YouTube content to analyzing best-selling books on Amazon to give me a competitive edge.

But then I started to wonder —

Maybe I’m missing something?

I wanted to see if ChatGPT could come up with new money-making ideas that I may not have considered.

So I asked ChatGPT—

What’s the easiest way to start making money with AI?

Here’s what it said…

(Honestly, I have to agree.)

1. AI Consulting

This is probably the easiest way to make money with AI because you don’t have to “create” a product.

If you become an “AI expert” (which is pretty easy right now since this technology is new to most people), you could offer consulting services to businesses interested in using AI but unsure where to start.

This could involve helping businesses identify areas where AI could be beneficial to their operations, developing implementation plans, or providing training for their staff.

You just need to gain enough AI knowledge to solve some problems.

Remember, being an “expert” doesn’t mean that you know everything.

Instead, it involves learning how to use specific tools (like Jasper AI or ChatGPT) to help businesses improve their systems, cut costs, or make more revenue.

How to start

  • Build Your Expertise — Learn as much as you can about new and popular AI tools (like ChatGPT, Jasper, Midjourney, etc.) and how businesses can leverage them by using specific prompts that are tailored to their needs.
  • Identify a Market to Target — For example, e-commerce, social media influencers, health care, restaurants, local businesses, the legal industry, etc.

Each market has different needs.

Pick one to focus on and go as deep as you can.

Remember, this technology is still “new” to most ordinary people.

Stike while the iron is hot.

  • Create an Irresistible Offer — Decide how much you will charge for your consulting services and what benefit you can deliver to your clients.

The book $100M Offers by Alex Hormozi is a fantastic resource for this.

  • Set up a Website — Use AI to help you build a website for your consulting business. You can even use AI to create SEO-optimized content to help make your site more visible in search results.
  • Get Visible— Use AI to create ad campaigns, write content, publish an email newsletter, design sales funnels, and generate YouTube video scripts to promote your consulting services.

2. AI Content Creation

If you have access to AI tools like ChatGPT or the Jasper AI Writing Assistant (my personal favorite), you could use it to create content that people will pay you for.

For example, you could offer a service creating blog posts, social media content, email campaigns, or Amazon product descriptions (Jasper AI has templates for each of these.)

This approach requires less technical knowledge than some other AI businesses, but you’ll need to make sure your content meets your client’s needs.

In addition to getting paid to create content for businesses, you could also use AI to generate content for sites like NewsBreak (which pays you based on how many views your articles get.)

Screenshot via NewsBreak Creator Program

NewsBreak specifically allows creators to submit articles generated using AI — you just have to disclose it.

Screenshot via NewsBreak

Before you can start earning from NewsBreak’s writer monetization program, you will need to meet specific minimum criteria, such as writing 10 articles and getting 100 followers.

However, compared to other monetization programs that pay for content views, such as YouTube, the barrier to entry is low.

And, of course, you could also use AI to help create content for platforms like YouTube or your own website (monetized with Adsense or Ezoic.)

3. AI Courses

If you take a little time to learn about AI, you could create online courses or offer 1-on-1 training sessions to help other people or businesses get up to speed.

Many people are interested in learning more about AI, so there’s a strong demand for this kind of education right now.

As someone who has developed profitable online education courses in the past, I recommend creating a “beginner” course or ebook— something like “ChatGPT Basics” and promoting it for free.

Your free “course” or ebook can be in video or PDF format. Just be sure to add screenshots if you go the ebook route.

This will serve as your “lead magnet.”

Use a tool like ConvertKit to deliver the free course in exchange for the recipient’s email address.

Screenshot via ConvertKit

Then create an “advanced” course for a specific market that you charge for (i.e., AI for Law Firms: How to Leverage ChatGPT to Create Form Letters) or that helps people get a defined result (i.e., How to Use AI to Write the Next Bestseller.)

Once someone signs up for your free “course” or ebook, you can have ConvertKit automatically send them a series of emails designed to upsell them on your paid course.

You can use the Jasper AI writing assistant to help you write emails for the sales sequence in your own voice.

I wrote about how to do this here:

I highly recommend hosting your course content on a digital learning platform that you control.

My two favorite digital course platforms are Teachable and Thinkific.

You could easily make a ridiculous amount of money with this strategy as long as you can get your free lead magnet in front of people.

I recommend creating content for YouTube, TikTok, or LinkedIn and using it to promote your lead magnet.

Alternatively, you could create a landing page for your lead magnet using Convertkit and run paid ads to it (Google, Pinterest, Facebook, etc.)

Recap:

  • Create a free course or ebook.
  • Build a landing page with ConvertKit to deliver the lead magnet in exchange for their email.
  • Use Jasper AI to create an automated email sequence to promote the paid course.
  • Set up your paid courses inside Teachable or Thinkific.
  • Create content using Jasper AI to promote your lead magnet on any social channel.
  • Collect money.
  • Repeat.

4. Affiliate Marketing of AI Products

New AI tools are launched almost every day now.

The companies that make these tools need content creators to help promote their products and build their customer base.

That’s where you come in.

You can sign up for their “affiliate” or “partner” program and get a cut of each sale you refer.

Most of these programs also offer “recurring commissions,” which means you can quickly grow your monthly income using this strategy.

I wrote more about this income-generating strategy here:

How do you promote AI tools?

You have to create content that is relevant to the software product you are promoting.

Here are a few examples:

This content can be in written or video format.

You can post your content on any social media platform or on your own site.

Just be sure to include a call to action at some point in the content instructing readers or viewers to click your link to check out the product.

You also need to disclose that you are an affiliate for the product you’re promoting.
