7 Easy Programming Side Hustles You Can Start With AI— No BS!
Make some extra cash with the help of AI.
As the famous proverb goes, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” This rings true for my experience with starting a successful side hustle two years ago and wanting to help others achieve the same.
With ChatGPT being a popular tool used by many in their daily work, I’ve dedicated the past two months to exploring its potential for programmers seeking to enhance their skills and increase their earnings.
Through this journey, I’ve discovered several valuable use cases, created innovative apps, and uncovered various ways programmers can make the most of ChatGPT.
So, are you ready to learn how to fish for yourself? Let’s dive in and explore the possibilities of ChatGPT together.
1. Unleashing the Potential of AI in Technical Content
If you’re a programmer with a specific area of expertise, technical content writing can be a rewarding and fulfilling way to share your knowledge and help others.
Despite the wealth of information available on the internet, there is still a significant gap in content related to newer and emerging technologies such as gRPC and Hyperledger Fabric. This presents a significant opportunity for programmers to create high-quality content that addresses these gaps in knowledge.
For example, when I was learning Hyperledger Fabric, I encountered many obstacles and errors. Unfortunately, I found that there were limited resources available to help me navigate and troubleshoot these issues. This experience highlighted the need for well-researched and informative technical content that can help programmers like myself overcome these challenges and continue to learn and grow in their chosen fields.
And if you need additional assistance during the research process, ChatGPT is an invaluable tool that can provide support and generate ideas for your content.
Let me tell you the process of using ChatGPT.
Based on your knowledge, Ask a few questions to ChatGPT about what you can write.
For instance, I will ask a simple question related to web development.
With these, you will get enough ideas about what you can write.
Well, I know about Jamstack so I will proceed further with Jamstack.
And that’s where I will ask another question like suggest me some trending titles related to Jamstack for which I can write an informative post.
As you can see, I’ve got a ton of trending topics I could write about — there’s just so much to cover!
But listen up — I wouldn’t recommend relying on ChatGPT to write a whole post for you. Search engines like Google might catch on and flag your content if they detect it was generated by AI.
However, don’t let that discourage you! You can definitely use ChatGPT as a research or productivity tool to help make your content even better and earn more money. All you need is to have a solid grasp of what you want to write about, and then you can ask ChatGPT some targeted questions to get more insights and ideas.
2. Building Online Products Using ChatGPT
Do you want to know the secret to create successful online products that can generate income and expand your network? Look no further than ChatGPT, the AI-powered language model that’s revolutionizing the tech industry.
Take it from my colleagues who spend their weekends building amazing products with the help of ChatGPT. Their first offering was so fantastic that they gave it away for free, but with subsequent projects, they began charging a subscription fee.
How did they get the word out about their products? They started by listing them on ProductHunt and reaching out to friends, a seemingly spammy approach that surprisingly works and generates income.
But it doesn’t stop there. They also create content related to their products on LinkedIn and Twitter to connect with potential paying customers and expand their network.
And with ChatGPT, their productivity has increased while production time has decreased. They started with basic apps like the AI Image Generator and Motivational Quote Generator, before moving on to more complex projects in areas like Machine Learning, and Blockchain Development.
And believe me, building in public can increase your chance to succeed.
Creating public products not only offers the potential to increase income, but also boosts your chances of landing a job based on your project, attracts more customers to your products, and expands your network.
How do you get started?
For this, I have created two basic posts which can help you to get started.
So why not give it a shot? With ChatGPT as your secret weapon, the possibilities are endless.
3. Creating Websites in 30 Seconds
I’m a web developer by day and let me tell you, converting a design into code can take a lot of time. And it’s seriously driving me up the wall.
But check this out — AI tools are so dope nowadays that you can make a website in just seconds. Back in the day, hiring a web dev could cost you a pretty penny and take a whole week, but not anymore.
Enter Durable, the solution to all your website-building woes. There is also another website name Mixo that can do the same work.
Using Durable is a breeze. Just head over to their site and hit “Build your site”. Answer a few basic questions about your biz — like the name and industry — and bam! Durable will whip up a site for you in just 30 seconds.
How do you get started?
Let’s say you’re in the writing game and need a site, just tell Durable you’re in “writing” and your biz is called “Codky”, and voila! You’ll have a site in no time.
Now you can focus on making more money, instead of stressing about your website. Pretty sweet, huh?

5. Better Yourself in Programming
Let’s face it, time is a valuable commodity, especially when you’re working on a project. As a programmer, you know better than anyone how important it is to use your time effectively. That’s where ChatGPT comes in, like a trusted assistant that helps you breeze through your work.
This amazing AI-powered tool can generate code for you in no time with just a few commands, saving you countless hours of monotonous work. Think of it as your personal assistant that can help you in every language in no time.

How do you get started?
With ChatGPT, you can complete projects faster and take on more work, which means more earnings. But it’s not just about the money; time is a valuable resource, and ChatGPT helps you make the most of it.
6. Become Better at Marketing and Sales
Most programmers work 9 to 5 jobs and later when they have free time create some products so that they can earn more money and quit their job.
But believe it or not, building a better product will not help you to make money, you also have to advertise your product to make better sales. And that’s where ChatGPT can help you.
Well, I am a programmer and not a marketing genius. And that’s why I ask ChatGPT to help me.
I can ask different questions and get the answers.
For instance,
Indeed, the recommendations I receive are quite insightful, providing me with valuable guidance on various aspects of marketing.
It’s almost like having a virtual marketing guru readily available at my fingertips, offering me tips on brand building, audience targeting, and crafting compelling content that resonates with my readers and viewers.
The beauty of it all is that these recommendations are grounded in hard data and thorough research, so I can trust that they are not merely subjective opinions.
7. Create Branded Content and Book Covers
As an online creator, I understand the importance of creating high-quality branded content. With the vast amount of content available online, it’s crucial to have content that stands out and captures the attention of your target audience.
Creating high-quality branded content can be time-consuming, especially if you’re not a designer or writer. That’s why there are many tools available to help you create branded content quickly and easily. While Canva has been a popular choice for many years, there are now several alternatives that cater to specific needs.
As a programmer, it’s essential to focus on the tasks that matter the most, and utilizing AI tools can be a game-changer. AI tools can generate branded images and content, allowing you to focus on creating impactful content.
One such tool is Lexica. It is an AI-powered tool that generates quality images for your content.
Another tool that can help you create branded content is Flair. It is an AI tool that helps you create branded content quickly.
Finally, if you’re looking to create programming-related eBooks, StockImg can be a valuable tool. StockImg is an AI-powered tool that generates book covers quickly and easily.
With these tools, you can make your work better, and hence more money.
