5 Claude AI Second Income Ideas If You Can't Quit Your Job Yet

Watch on YouTube

Video summary

The video presents five practical strategies for generating a second income using Claude AI, specifically tailored for individuals who cannot yet quit their current jobs. The speaker emphasizes that a second income is often essential for financial survival rather than just extra wealth, citing statistics that over 60% of Americans with side hustles would find their lives unaffordable without them. By leveraging AI to handle the heavy lifting, these methods can potentially generate four times the average monthly side income while requiring less than four hours of work per week. The speaker shares personal experience as a former pharmacist who built a six-figure online business during lunch breaks and weekends, alongside success stories from community members like his brother Zach, who went from zero to a full-time income in under a month despite being technologically challenged. The first two ideas focus on creating specific, high-value content services that save time through automation. The first is writing wedding speeches, illustrated by the story of Jen, who uses AI to reduce her workload from five hours per speech to just fifteen minutes while maintaining quality and charging significantly less than manual rates. The second idea involves resume rewriting on platforms like Fiverr, where professionals use Claude to tailor resumes for both human recruiters and Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) in seconds. This approach allows individuals to offer same-day turnaround services during their evenings or weekends, capitalizing on the fact that job seekers are most active outside of standard business hours. The video highlights how these niche services can be scaled into full-time businesses without needing prior expertise, as the AI handles the technical writing aspects. The remaining three ideas explore broader monetization models including affiliate marketing, creating pitch decks, and online career coaching. Affiliate marketing is presented not just as selling products but as a traffic-driven model where platforms like Course Careers help users earn commissions passively while working their day jobs. Creating pitch decks allows professionals to charge hundreds of dollars per project by using AI to generate modern, animated slides quickly, turning a simple request into a high-value service. Finally, online career coaching is described as the most consistent method because it leverages one's existing professional experience; individuals can teach others how to succeed in their specific field or transition into new roles, effectively selling their day job knowledge. Success stories range from engineering managers earning six figures while working part-time to YouTubers receiving job offers directly from major tech companies due to the traffic generated by their educational content. The overarching conclusion is that success in these side hustles depends heavily on acquiring an audience, with YouTube identified as the ideal platform because it combines social media reach with search engine functionality. The speaker repeatedly promotes a free live training session where viewers can learn step-by-step how to start these businesses and receive free access to a "niche validator" AI tool designed to help identify profitable areas. While acknowledging that the process requires effort and is not easy, the video argues that anyone with a career, hobby, or even just a unique perspective can build a substantial second income stream. The speaker offers mentorship for serious applicants but primarily encourages viewers to utilize free resources and community support to achieve financial stability without leaving their current employment.

In this video, I'm going to be giving you five Claude AAI second income ideas for people who can't quit their job yet. And this is the exact second income ideas that regular employed people in my community are using to build income streams that grow to 12,000, 70,000, or even 186,000 in a single month, all in less than 4 hours a week. And those are real people that I'm going to be showing you here in a minute. And here's why this matters more than ever. One in four Americans have a second income right now. And 61% of them say that their life would be literally unaffordable without that second income. So a second income is not extra money anymore because for most people it is survival money. But the average second income only pays about $1,242 a month. And everything in this video is designed to beat that by four times with Claude doing the heavy lifting of course for you. And this is coming from someone who lived it, right? I was a full-time pharmacist with a doctorate when I started and I was six figures in student loan debt and I built my second income in lunch breaks and on weekends. And that second income was paying me two to three times more than my pharmacy salary while I was still counting pills. And today, that second income has turned into a $10 million online business. And I've also watched hundreds of community members with full-time jobs run this exact play. And my brother Zach was in his 50s and technologically challenged when he started, and he still went from zero to a full-time income, making $214 in a single day in his very first month. Right? So, he went from zero to full-time income in less than one month doing this. So, when somebody tells you that the only path to success is to quit your job and go all in on a business, well, that's a hell of a lot easier to say when it's not your mortgage on the line. So, today I'm going to be pulling up the real articles and the real numbers behind every single one of these and showing receipts on the screen with actual examples of real people doing this so that you can literally see how each one works. Now, if you appreciate me making this type of content, you want to see me make more of it in the future, then let me know by gently cheersing that like button and let's jump into it right now. All right, first one is going to be writing wedding speeches. And the reason I put this here is because I've actually seen this girl, Jen, make headlines from multiple news sources. Now, she runs a business called Bridesmaids for Hire. And part of what she does is she writes speeches for the bride. And I just found another article mentioning that she now makes $6,300 a month in passive income. Now, what's interesting is she basically wanted to focus her time on her daughter instead of doing all the work herself. And these speeches were taking 5 to 6 hours of time per speech. So, she needed a way to cut down on that time. And that's where AI comes in because she now has a wedding speech generator. And you can even see her using it on her own YouTube channel, which I thought was very interesting. And she used to charge $397 to write one custom speech by hand. And now the AI version sells for as little as $35 and runs by itself. Now, I love how specific this is. And yes, the specific example here is giving a wedding speech, but think of all the other things you could use it for. Things that are very specific and very niche. You could either make your own AI and sell it, or you can make an AI that basically takes a service that used to take you 5 hours of your time and now you can do in something like 15 minutes. So, obviously, I'm using the hyperspecific example of wedding speeches here, but you can think of other things. But let's just say you want to do wedding speeches. So you can do something quite similar with Claude or you can just use her tool. But I prefer to use Claude because it's the best at writing and especially at writing like a human. So let me show you how this would actually work. You would literally tell Claude something like, "Write me a maid of honor wedding speech that is warm and a little funny and sounds like a real person wrote it and that runs about 3 minutes when spoken out loud." And then guys, right below that, you just paste whatever information you have about the bride, like how you met, a couple stories, and any inside jokes that you have. And then Claude can do the rest. and you just clean it up and charge for the output. Now, what would make this even better is if you actually interviewed the person and asked them questions first before writing the wedding speech. That would make the wedding speech even better. But you can do this even without interviewing them and asking them questions. And by the way, this is a perfect second income if you can't quit your job yet because wedding speeches are weekend work by nature. So, it never has to touch your 9 to5. Quick break. I'm going to be doing a live training this week on how to start YouTube stepby-step for beginners. This is going to be for people who want to start a channel, but they don't know what niche to pick, what videos to make, or how to actually get started the right way. And it's a completely free training. No strings attached. In fact, I'm giving away even more bonuses at this training. Just as an example, I'm going to be giving away my niche validator, which works for ChatBT as well as Claude Skills, which is a super valuable piece of software where you can finally figure out what the best niche for you is. So, do not miss out on this training. Make sure you sign up for it down in the description and the pin comment below because you only get it if you join the training. So, if you don't join now, you might miss out on it forever. But that being said, in the workshop, you'll get to meet me and you get to ask me questions directly. So, I look forward to seeing you. So, click the link in the description and the pin comment below this week. Make sure you put on your calendar. And if for whatever reason you missed out on it or you weren't able to attend, make sure you still click that link because we might be having workshops in the future as well and you'll be the first to know about it. So, yeah, hope to see you there. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming. Okay, so the next one on the list is going to be ré writing on Fiverr. And there's this guy here who is basically a 35-year-old teacher who brought in $2 million from his resume writing side hustle. Now, this guy's name is Richard Lambert and he basically started off teaching English abroad. And he just happened to notice that a bunch of his students needed help writing their resumes and cover letters. And that's where it all started. So, he listed his services on Fiverr, and two years later, it became his full-time focus. And that has made him $2 million in lifetime sales from literally writing resumes. And this was done before AI could write your first draft for you in 9 seconds. And I usually do my research on YouTube for these opportunities because this is where people disclose how much they make doing specific side hustles. So, as an example here, this guy, uh, he has a YouTube channel called A Life After Layoff and he has a video about tips on how to write a better resume. >> I look at a lot of résumés and I do a lot of résumé reviews and one thing is perfectly clear, some of y'all need some help. And >> he's basically a former corporate recruiter who spent 20 years hiring people into companies like Amazon and FedEx. And he's basically giving people tips on how to write their resumes and stuff like that. And right now he's making about $3,200 a month on YouTube just from AdSense alone according to Vid IQ. And that is just the tip of the iceberg because when you look at his website, you can see that he also has a bunch of services like resume and LinkedIn reviews at $149 each. He also has this job search tool as well at $29 a month. And it's basically a resume builder with a fit score, a cover letter generator, and a job application tracker with AI. Now, you don't really have to be good at ré writing at all to do this. And you don't need any prior experience either because the great news about this one is with Claude, you could basically just capture someone's experience and you would basically say something like rewrite this resume so that it captures the attention of both a human recruiter and the ATS and tailor it to this exact job posting. And by the way, the ATS is the applicant tracking system. It's basically the robot, the software that filters resumes before a human ever sees them. And then guys, you just paste two things below that, which are the person's current resume and the job posting that they're going after. And Claude does it in one pass. and you deliver a same day turnaround at full price. And real quick, I'm curious. Drop a comment and let me know which of these side hustles you would actually try because I read those and it helps me make this type of content better for you. Now, if you do have experience getting into a very specific type of job, that can be really valuable as well, both for resume writing as well as helping people with their portfolios or helping people with interviews or how to apply to jobs or just any general questions on career strategy. And this is one that we've seen people have success with over and over again. So, an example of this is one of our community members, Davis, who helped people become management consultants because he became a management consultant himself. And he started because he was basically part of management consulting subreddits on Reddit. And a lot of people were asking with help with their resumes. And so, he started that entire business just by helping people with their resumes. And then he expanded it by helping people with other problems that they had. But he started off just helping people with résumés and he made a full-time income from that. That was his side hustle that turned into a full-time business. Then you've got Bill who's a financial controller and he made an entire business out of helping accountants who are already doing pretty well but they want to become financial controllers which is basically a very high level accountant and he just helps them do that and of course part of it is helping them with their resumes right so there's just example after example after example of people in our community that we've seen have success with this for instance Davis made it to over 100k per month and Bill the financial controller made it to over 70,000 in a single month and of course they weren't making that much right away it started off as a side hustle but then were able to scale it to really big numbers. And résumés are a great second income while you're still employed because job seekers want the same day turnarounds on nights and weekends, which is exactly when you're off the clock anyways. So, the next one on the list is going to be affiliate marketing. And this is basically you recommending either a product or a service and whenever someone buys from your link, you get a commission out of it. Now, you might be thinking, "Well, I've heard of affiliate marketing before, but there are actually a lot of ways you could do affiliate marketing because there are a lot of products out there." So, you do not need to recommend Amazon products like most people think you have to. And this has been made easier with Claude, and I'll show you. So, just as an example, Jud here, who is a member of my community, basically makes more than $20,000 a month between his YouTube ad revenue and his affiliate commissions. And Business Insider actually verified his income with documentation, just in case you don't believe me. And realistically, he probably makes more than that. But he's a stay-at-home dad and he works only about 8 to 10 hours a week on this. And he uses Claude to do a lot of the heavy lifting for him. And one of the platforms that he recommends is Course Careers. And really quickly, Course Careers is an online platform that trains people for entry-level careers in things like tech sales, IT, and the skilled trades. And it does it without a college degree. And my brother Zach does the exact same thing where he recommends trade career courses from course careers. And that helps people get more knowledge and land jobs in the trades. And this is the part that I really want you to catch because every side hustle in this video works way better if you have traffic, right? You might have heard or even tried affiliate marketing before, but thought that it didn't work because it's a scam or something like that. And it's actually not. All of these side hustles really do work, but they only work if people know that you exist, obviously, right? They have to know that you exist in order to buy something from you. So, Zach had traffic and he basically started on YouTube and even though he was technologically challenged, he was in his 50s, he was able to get his very first video to over 800,000 views. And in his very first 29 days on YouTube, he was able to make $214 in a single day. So, he went from zero to a full-time income in less than one month. Now, $214 a day is about $78,000 a year run rate. So, he was able to go from zero to a full-time income in less than one month. And just recently, he was able to hit $18,000 a month from affiliate marketing alone. And that's from someone over 50 who is technologically challenged, but he used Claude to do the heavy lifting. And affiliate marketing is tailorade for a second income because those links keep earning commissions while you're sitting at your day job. So if you want to learn exactly how we do that step by step, we have a live free training down in the description and the pin comment below where we help you with that. And in this live training, we will be giving away the niche validator powered by Claude to help you find the perfect YouTube niche that will make you money just like Zach and Jud did. Because obviously, there's so many different ways to make money out there. There's so many great niches out there, but you got to choose one that's tailored specifically to you. And that's exactly what we're going to help you do in this live training. So, click that link in the description and the pin comment below. I'll be there answering questions before, during, and after. super excited to do it and super excited to let you test drive our new AI tool that we're giving away at this live training to help you pick your niche and figure out what you can sell and how you can make money. So, click that link in the description, the pin comment below. Look forward to seeing you there. And if this is in the future, still click it because it'll automatically take you to a weight list for whenever we're doing the next live training. All right, the next one is going to be making pitch decks and powerpoints with AI. So, there's this guy named Larry Lundstrom and he is a pastor from rural Arkansas who does this on the side. And here's the article from Business Insider as proof. He's basically making up to $3,000 a week with his side hustle using AI. And he charges between $500 and $1,000 for a deck. And he makes two to three of them per week. So we have a pastor in Arkansas charging up to a grand per deck. And people still think you need to live in San Francisco to make money with AI. Now, he was doing this with Chachi. And that being said, Claude can definitely do a much better job of making pitch decks nowadays. And the prompt here is not complicated either. You would tell Claude something like this. Turn this into a 10 slide investor pitch deck with a clear story, one main idea per slide, and a clean modern design. And then you just paste whatever the founder gives you below that, like what the company does, the numbers, and who the customers are. Because there's this channel called J RoboNuggets, which is kind of a funny name for the channel, but he made a video about how to make really good-looking slides and decks with Claude. And you can see how good this looks. Creating HTML slides is now one of my favorite ways to use Claude. I can automatically generate slides like these that have beautiful animations. And you can also see that Vid IQ says he's making about $2,100 a month from the channel itself. Again, just from AdSense alone. So, those are just the ads that are popping up on his channel. And just to kind of guesstimate how much he's making overall, the AdSense that we make on our channel is less than 5% of the total amount of money we're making. So, I'm guessing if you multiply this by about 20, that's probably the total amount of money he's making from this channel. So, that would be over 40,000 a month. And what do you know? If you go to his about section and look at his links, it takes you to a school community that has 1.1,000 members at $97 a month. And so that would be over 100,000 a month. So he's actually making over 50 times more than just the AdSense that he's making on his channel. So the lesson here is that the views are just the front door and the actual money is what you sell behind them. And at $500 to $1,000 per deck, this is serious second income money because just two decks a month on the side is more than most people's annual raise. All right, this brings us to the next one, which is online career coaching. So, we kind of briefly touched on this before with the resume writing, but I have to say that this is one of the most consistent ways of making money that I have ever seen online. I have seen person after person after person after person do this and make money with it. And it really makes sense because if you're in a career, you've already spent thousands of hours getting good at that career, maybe even tens of thousands of hours, right? If you spent 5 years in your career, that means you spent over 10,000 hours in your career. So, you already truly are an expert. But even if you've only spent one year, you spent over 2,000 hours in your career. So, you truly are an expert, even if you've just spent a year in the job that you're in. And when it comes to making money online, at the end of the day, it is a bit of a competition. And let's say that you were racing somebody else in a marathon, right? If somebody else wanted to teach other people how to get into the career that you're in and they're starting from zero, they're starting from mile zero. But if you wanted to do the same thing, you're already 95% of the way there. And so you might have just a few more miles to go. And if they start from mile zero and you start 95% of the way there, even if they're way smarter than you and have every advantage in the world, you're still going to get to the finish line faster than them. It's just that simple. And this is the reason why I've seen so many people in my community have success just teaching stuff that's related to their career. And if you want a side hustle that can replace a $5,000 a month salary, one thing you could highly consider is doing online career coaching. Right now, there's a lot of different versions of this. We'll talk about all of them, but this could be built around basically any job. So, let's just say as an example, this guy Brian Pium, he started career coaching on the side while working as an engineering manager at a major fintech company. And here's the wild part because his compensation was more than $600,000 a year. And even at that level, he wanted to escape the nineto-ive. And he was also suspecting that layoffs would have happened. So he took matters into his own hands. So he was working this job and he was just teaching other people how to win at the same job through leadership coaching, executive coaching, and career transition coaching. And in his first 6 months, according to this article, he made about $30 to $40,000. And then the next year, he earned about $98,000. And all of this was happening while only working part-time. and now he's at $150,000 a year, two years running, working three to four hours a day, right? So, his problem became his product. So, this is a really good side hustle, especially if you're working a job right now because the thing you already know how to do is the thing that people will pay to learn. Now, he's literally just doing it as a side hustle and still making six figures from it. And this is also what a community member of mine, Josh, did. So, Josh was basically career coaching other people on how they get into highpaying IT and cyber security jobs with his YouTube channel. And at first he was making a little bit of money, about $1,000 a month. And then he got to 5,000 a month. And then something crazy happened because he actually got offers from two different fang companies. Now these fang companies are basically the giant tech companies. So think Facebook, Apple, Amazon, and Netflix. And these are the companies that are statistically harder to get into than Harvard. So instead of him applying, these companies were offering him jobs because of his YouTube channel. And eventually he did accept one of the offers. Now, later on, what's crazy was he actually left that job because he was making $186,000 in a single month from his YouTube channel and his business that he built off of YouTube, teaching other people how to get into highpaying cyber security jobs. And it's not just tech jobs. For instance, you've got the financial controller. I mentioned him a little bit earlier, Bill Hannah, who's basically teaching accountants how to get a job as a financial controller. And these accountants were making anywhere between $50 and $100,000 a year, but financial controllers can make six figures or even multiple six figures a year. and he was teaching people how to make that jump. And he made about $70,000 in a single month doing this. And it's not just corporate jobs either, because my brother Zach helps people find the right trade careers. And just last month, he made $18,000 doing this. But even one month after starting, he was already making a full-time income from YouTube. And it's not just jobs. It can also be about education. A community member of mine, Alex, helps busy professionals get college credits and graduate from college faster. And he made it to $15,000 a month doing this. And it doesn't even have to be education or career related because another community member of mine, Nathan, helps people get better at chess. And he does this in semi-retirement. And Nathan is making a full-time income doing this just a few months in. So if you have a hobby that you're good at, this works. And even if you think you don't have any special skills, no career to talk about, and no hobby, watch this because there is a channel called M&J Metal, and they basically made a video about how to make Pickle Pepsi at home. And you can see that the camera does not look good. It looks like it is recorded with an absolute potato. But that video got over 10 million views. And that one video got to over $50,000 in estimated revenue according to view stats. And that's why when you think about it, all these side hustles work, but they only work if you have traffic. And YouTube is the best place to get that traffic because it's the perfect blend of a social media platform and a search engine, which makes it more powerful than any other platform. And career coaching might be the best second income on this entire list because your day job is literally the product. So, you don't even have to quit it to sell it. Now, I do want to be honest with you because all this is simple, but it's not easy. If you want to learn how to do this step by step, go ahead and join our free live training.
