I currently run various online businesses using AI bots to help in many ways. These businesses allow me to travel the world while earning income, even when I’m on vacation. Based on my experience, here are four lazy AI side hustles you can start as a beginner to earn up to $100 per day.
1. Start an Instagram Theme Page
You can use AI bots to create short-form content for Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok. Find popular videos on YouTube, clip parts of them, and consistently upload the clips to build an audience in a niche. Then monetize through affiliate marketing.
For example, sign up for a free trial on Opusflow. Enter a YouTube video URL, and the tool will clip the best parts and add text/emojis to create engaging short-form content. You just download and upload the clips to your channel.
To build a new Instagram theme page:
- Find popular YouTubers in your niche.
- Get their most popular long-form videos.
- Use Opusflow to clip short segments from the videos.
- Upload the clips to Instagram, crediting the YouTubers.
- Promote affiliate offers related to the niche to monetize.
This AI tool saves hours of editing time to create content that builds your audience and generates income. With consistency, you can reach $100/day or more.
2. Do AI Email Marketing
Build an email list of people interested in a topic, like cryptocurrency. You can build your list using the short-form content from Side Hustle 1. Then use email marketing software like AWeber to automate emails to your list. You can even use the AI bot ChatGPT to write the email content for you.
For example, ask ChatGPT for a series of 100-word emails for your cryptocurrency list. It will generate the emails, which you copy/paste into AWeber. When people join your list, the welcome email series automatically sends. To monetize, promote affiliate offers or your own products/services in the emails.
With ChatGPT creating your email content, this side hustle requires little ongoing effort. As your list and email open rates grow over time, you can earn $100/day or more. The key is building a targeted list and optimizing your email content/promotions based on open/click rates.
3. Build an Affiliate Marketing Website
Create a website focused on a topic, like cryptocurrency. Publish useful content (blog posts, articles, etc.) and get it ranked in Google. Include affiliate links to products/services related to the topic. When visitors click a link and buy, you earn a commission.
This is a lazy side hustle because you can use AI in several ways:
Use an AI website builder like Hostinger to create your site. Just enter details about your niche and goals, and the builder will construct a draft site instantly. You can then easily modify the content.
Use ChatGPT to generate blog title ideas and even write complete blog posts for you.
Include affiliate links to programs like ClickBank, where vendors offer products in your niche.
It can take 3-6 months of work to start earning $100/day or more from an affiliate site. But by consistently publishing content, optimizing for search rankings, and testing different affiliate offers, you can build a sustainable income stream over time. The key is sticking with it through the early stages where you’re building traffic and credibility.
4. Create a Faceless Automated YouTube Channel
You don’t need to show your face on camera to earn money from YouTube. You can use AI tools to help create high-quality video content without appearing on screen. I’ve made videos explaining how to find a profitable niche, choose a channel name, produce your first video, and everything else you need to know.
Some ways to automate and outsource parts of your channel:
Use AI tools like ChatGPT to generate video topic and script ideas.
Hire freelancers on Upwork to help with tasks like:
› Recording professional voiceovers for your scripts
› Editing your raw video footage
› Animating your video content or channel art
› Interacting with and responding to viewers in the comments
- Use stock video and animation to illustrate your scripts rather than filming yourself.
With the right optimization and consistency, an automated YouTube channel can earn $100/day or more through the YouTube Partner Program and affiliate marketing. The keys are choosing a niche with high viewer interest and CPMs, producing useful/quality content, and building your audience over time through SEO, social sharing, and collaborations.
Although starting a business is challenging, AI tools have made it possible to launch lucrative side hustles without needing advanced technical skills or a large upfront investment. By following a proven plan and sticking with it, you can build one of these AI side hustles into a $10K/month income or more over 6-18 months. The opportunities are endless if you take that first step. Let me know if you have any other questions!
