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.
It's happening this week. Click that
link in the description in the pin
comment below. And for those of you who
join, I will be giving away a new AI
that we worked on called the niche
validator. And it's actually on Claude
and I'll be giving it away completely
free. And this niche validator is
powered by Claude, right? And the reason
it exists is because you can be good at
something and just not be aware of it.
And that's exactly what this tool helps
you figure out. And the live training is
also where we walk through the full
90-day game plan. So, make sure to join
that. With that being said, I know that
99% of you watching this are just going
to enjoy our free content on YouTube,
our free resources that we give away,
like our free claude skills that we give
away and AIS that we make completely
free for you. And you're going to
definitely enjoy the live training. So,
do not miss out on that. Click the link
in the description, the pin comment
below. But we are not going to end up
working together and that is completely
fine. I have literally gotten hundreds
of comments, emails, DMs, etc. from
people that say how much all of our free
training helps them. And I want to give
away 10, even 100 times more value than
what I receive. But there's going to be
1% of you out there, maybe 0.1% of you
out there that want a one-on-one
mentorship experience, like a one-on-one
handholding experience with myself or my
team, or you want us to literally just
do the work for you. And if that sounds
like you, go ahead and book a call by
clicking the second link in the
description in the pin comment below.
But only book a call if you're very
serious about doing this and you
understand the value of one-on-one
mentorship. We can only accept about
five people right now cuz it takes a
massive amount of our time, effort, and
money to do this. And we only accept
about 18% of people who even try to book
a call. Right? So, click that link in
the description in the pin comment below
to see if you're a good fit and apply to
work with us. The types of people we
typically work with are professionals
who have at least 10 years of experience
or people who are overachievers, but
basically people who have value to give
to the world, right? They're starting
off near the finish line because they
have a lot of experience in their career
or they've done a lot of things in their
life. We also work with business owners
who want to use YouTube to get more
views, get more leads, make more sales,
generate more revenue, and build their
brand. We also work with YouTubers who
are getting a lot of views, but they're
struggling with monetization. We work
with YouTubers who are crushing it, but
