Ever wondered if there is a way of earning a few extra dollars without quitting what you have been doing? You’re not alone. With an increase of inflation and busy working hours, many people are in search of effective ways of increasing income. The good news is, however, that artificial intelligence (AI) is actually making that easier than ever and you don’t have to be a tech expert to profit from it.
In this article, we’ll discuss pragmatic, real world applications of AI for the earning of additional funds. No technobabble, no huge commitments of time – only simple thoughts that you can begin to use right away.
What Is AI and Why You Should Care?
Let’s start with the basics. AI (abbreviation of artificial intelligence) is technology that can do things that would normally require human thinking. This includes; writing, designing, organizing even chatting.
But, no need to panic; it does not involve robots taking over the world. Think of AI more like a super smart assistant, working at super speed. You’ve probably already used it without knowing — through auto-suggestions on smartphone or voice assistants like Siri or Alexa.
What’s interesting is that ordinary people (you and me) can now use the help of AI tools to produce a side income — without having to leave your job or spend thousands of dollars.
1. Freelance Smarter not Harder with AI
There are very few ways in which you can easily earn extra money and one of them is freelancing. If you have ever penned an article, created a flyer, edited a video or translated a document, you are already half way there.
Now imagine this: you use AI to accelerate things.
How to get started:
- Use tools such as ChatGPT or Jasper AI to help conduct writing or brainstorming.
- Try using Canva’s AI design tools to easily make excellent visuals.
- With tools consisting of Runway ML or Pictory that turn words into video, edit videos quickly.
Allow me to mention a short story to you: My cousin, Sarah began to offer resume writing on Fiverr. She gave chatgpt a chance to write outlines and added her own finish. In her first month, she was earning $300 – and she was doing it full time as a teacher.
The fact is, here AI is to be used as a supporting tool. You still come bringing your own ideas and your own style but the AI enables you to work faster and more efficient.
2. Earn More With AI – Writing, Graphics Designing, Speech To Text, Music Composition, and Book Writing
If you’ve got a creative side in you, this one’s for you.
Individuals are earning money by reselling ebooks, and templates, as well as social media graphics, and even digital planners which all have been produced with the aid of AI.
Here’s how:
- Post an ebook or helpful guide using ChatGPT on something you’re an expert in (e.g. parenting tips, travel hacks, or basic yoga).
- Design a beautiful layout using Canva AI.
- Sell your digital products on sites such as the Etsy, the Gumroad, Payhip.
Not even if you are not a writer or designer, with the application of AI tools, you can try to form your thoughts into something professional. My friend created a printable meal planner and sold more than 100 in a month (all created in Canva with some help from additional text prompts from AI).
It could take a weekend or two to get it all together but once it’s done you can cash in on it while you sleep.
3. Make Passive Income from AI Generated Content
“Passive income” sounds like a dream isn’t it? It’s earned money you earn without having to keep working for it every day.
One of the ways of getting passive income is content. Think YouTube videos, blogs, e-books. With AI, you can brain storm, write scripts, even make videos quicker.
Try this:
- Have ChatGPT generate blog posts on subjects that you like.
- Begin a YouTube channel and apply Lumen5 to blog posts to create videos.
- Make money using ads, affiliate marketing or selling digital products.
It doesn’t take great majority of the audience in order to start earning. Providing, of course, you keep consistent, providing value, then the income can grow…
Pro tip: Pick up a subject which people seek for often, such as “how to save money,” “easy recipes,” or “home workouts.” AI can help you find even trending topics.
4. Provide Small Busines with AI-Powered Services.
There are a lot of small businesses that wish to use AI, but have no idea on how to achieve it. That’s where you can pitch in.
You are only likely to provide simple services including:
- Producing blog posts or social media content with the help of AI tools
- Producing product descriptions for online stores
- Creating logos, flyers or ads using AI design platforms.
To most businesses owners what is important is not the how, it is the outcome. If you are capable of delivering work swiftly and of good quality (AI as your assistant), they will gladly pay you.
First, get out there and start offering your services on websites such as Upwork or Fiverr or local Facebook groups.
5. Teach or Coach Online using AI.
Do you thrive in something — in cooking, in speaking a foreign language or perhaps in organizing?
You can utilize AI for the creating of a simple online course or coaching program. Tools such as ChatGPT can help you prepare lessons, story-writing, to even generate worksheets or quizzes.
Teachable, Udemy or Skill share are easy places to host your course.
Here’s a bonus idea: Use AI – record your voice (or an AI voice), make video lessons, without having to be seen on the screen.
After your course goes up, you’ll continue to earn money part every time someone signs up.
Final Thoughts: It’s All About Getting Started
You don’t have to be a tech genius or give up your job to begin to make money using AI. It’s about employing the existing tools so as to work smarter not harder.
Start small. Select one idea from this article that interests you and try it. Things tend to work themselves out rather quickly once you are underway.
Keep in mind that, AI is here to assist –, that is your creativity, personality, and skills that create magic.
