Top 10 Claude AI Side Hustles That Can Pay A Full-Time Income (Ranked)

Watch on YouTube

Video summary

The video presents a ranked list of the top ten side hustles leveraging AI tools, specifically highlighting Claude, as viable paths to generating a full-time income. The speaker emphasizes that while AI skills command a significant salary premium, the real opportunity lies in using these tools to create independent businesses rather than just relying on employment. At the bottom of the list is "AI slop content," which involves mass-producing low-effort videos hoping for viral luck; this approach is heavily discouraged due to high risks of platform bans and lack of sustainable value, though rare exceptions exist where niche-specific AI content succeeds. Moving up the ranks, the speaker suggests building apps and selling digital products like books or templates as more reliable income streams, noting that while these have low barriers to entry, intense competition means success requires strong differentiation and marketing strategies rather than just automated production. Further up the list are opportunities such as corporate training, grant writing, and creating specialized courses on niche skills, which the speaker terms "teacher money," "boring money," and "knowledge money" respectively. These ventures capitalize on specific market needs where companies struggle to utilize new AI tools or where businesses need help with tedious paperwork like grant applications. The speaker argues that the most lucrative path involves integrating AI into existing businesses to drastically reduce labor costs, effectively acting as a digital forklift to increase output tenfold. This approach allows individuals to solve repetitive problems in their specific industry, turning them into high-value consultants who can charge premium rates for delivering results that were previously time-consuming or impossible to scale. The highest-ranked opportunities focus on becoming a specialist through hyper-specific service offerings and building a personal YouTube brand. The speaker advocates against chasing vague trends and instead encourages leveraging one's own past experiences and expertise to teach others, creating a hybrid model of coaching and productized services. This strategy avoids the "shiny object" trap of starting from scratch in unfamiliar fields. Ultimately, the number one side hustle identified is building a YouTube personal brand that positions the creator as the go-to AI expert for a specific profession or industry. This creates an asymmetric bet where even if direct monetization fluctuates, the creator establishes authority that leads to high-paying job offers, consulting gigs, and affiliate revenue, effectively owning the "road" upon which other businesses operate. The video concludes by stressing that all these ventures require traffic, which is best secured through a dedicated personal brand, making it the foundational asset for long-term financial success in the AI economy.

Today I'm going to be ranking the top 10 cloud AI side hustles that can pay a full-time income from worst to best. And if you're wondering whether this AI stuff can actually make you real money, well, PWC studied close to a billion job ads. And people with AI skills get paid 56% more than people without them. But you don't have to rely on just making money from a job. And the market isn't being subtle. It's literally paying you to learn AI. And Claude is by far the most sought-after tool. And I would know. I started as a pharmacist making six figures while sitting in six figures of student loan debt. And I was basically spending all of my money on my cost of living and paying off my student loan debt. And I was completely burnt out from my job. So, I started a side hustle and it hit $10,000 a month. And that side hustle became my full-time business. And that business has made over $10 million. And I was one of the AI early adopters. In fact, I was making videos on it all the way back in 2022. And Claude Aai is now a massive part of my business. And my community members ran the same play. And some of them were starting over from nothing and they're now making 5,000 a month, 10,000 a month, and some a whole lot more. And I'll put additional Claude resources in the description in the pin comment below. Should be the third link down there so you can copy it and run it today. Every number has a source on the screen with real receipts and real examples from real people. And my personal pick is sitting at number one, and it's not the one that you'd guess. 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 go ahead and jump in right now. All right, starting the countdown at number 10, I have to say it's got to be AI slop content, and I really, really hate to say this, but it does actually work in certain cases. Now, I call this one lottery ticket money. And the premise is very simple. You crank out 100 videos with some AI app and there are like 50 of these different apps out there now. And you post all of them and you pray that one of them blows up. Volume, luck, and a robot. That's the whole business model. Because with AI, you can make stuff insanely fast. Unfortunately, for the AI slot merchants out there, platforms like YouTube are banning this stuff left and right. And thank God they are. Just as an example, YouTube wiped out 35 million subscribers and 4.7 billion views on their AI slot purge. And I wouldn't be surprised if YouTube does another run. And by the way, there's actually a website that shows you all the different channels that YouTube has terminated. It's algrow.online. And you basically scroll through it and surprise surprise, a whole lot of these bands are AI slop channels. Now, to be fair, if you add in a little more effort and try to make the content actually good or in very specific niches where fully automated AI content actually does add value, which is very rare. Usually, it's just complete AI slop that wastes everybody's time. Or you just get lucky and you don't get banned. You can make some money with this, but you need a ton of views for it to pay anything and you're gambling the entire channel to get them. So, it's kind of like buying a 100 lottery tickets from a machine that prints them for free except the casino started burning the tickets and sometimes the guy holding them. So, yeah, not ideal. With that being said, there are documented cases of AI channels that actually make it. So, I think a really good example of a channel that is AI generated, like pretty much completely AI generated, but does actually still give value is Sleepless Historian. Okay, so basically this is a channel that tells stories about history and they're designed to help you go to sleep. And according to Vid IQ, this channel is making about $9.1,000 a month. And I've watched the content and I think it's legitimately good for helping people fall asleep. And there's also the story of this completely madeup AI influencer who's apparently a very attractive girl with pink hair from Spain who has gotten over 400,000 followers and has made a ton of money as well. Although most of their money was likely made literally just teaching other people how to do AI. So, it's kind of like a borderline pyramid scheme. Basically, they wouldn't be making money if they weren't just teaching other people how to make money. But that's okay. So, yeah. Unfortunately, there are a few examples of AI slop channels or fully automated AI channels that do actually work and do actually make money, but the vast majority of them are just polluting the internet, give absolutely zero value, they're a complete waste of time for the person making the content, and a complete waste of time for anyone unfortunate enough to have clicked on the video. And if in the very rare case, the channel actually works out, you're probably going to get banned. And in the very rare case that you don't get banned and the channel actually works out, it's going to be incredibly easy for everyone else to copy you. For instance, with the Sleepless Historian, there are literally hundreds of channels that started doing the exact same content. And some of them are almost like carbon copies of the original channel. For instance, this one right here, Sleeping History. Some of these channels are literally using the same exact voice and the same exact style of art. And they can do that. And there's really nothing you can do about it because if you can automatically make content, people can automatically copy you. So yeah, not ideal. And if you're still absolutely convinced this is your path, just tell Claude, "Write me 100 scripts about a husband cheating on his wife." Or maybe tell it to find already written scripts on Reddit, which were probably also fake scripts generated from Claude and then feed them into some AI video generator and you're probably going to get a lot of views. And that's if you really want to waste your damn time and your money on AI slop. You know, on every single other one that I give you on this list, I'm going to tell you how to do it. But for this one, instead of giving you a how-to, I'm going to give you a please don't. But there's going to be way better options down this list if you do still want to make content. And we'll go over those here in a moment. And I'm going to show you how you can actually make good content with AI helping you make the content good. So, it's not AI slop, it's actually good content, but AI does most of the heavy lifting for you. We'll go into exactly how to do that here in a bit, but that brings us to number nine, which is making an app. And this is builder's money. So, a good example of this is a guy named Mark Lou. So, Mark got fired from his software engineering job and instead of finding another one, he started building tiny apps and selling them. And he literally posted a video called I made these 23 websites and earned $562,000. 23 little websites over a half a million. Not bad. In 2021, I was fired from a software engineer job and I decided to go solo and build my own websites. And honestly, it's pretty cool because he's doing all of this from Bali. No office, no boss. He builds stuff on a tropical island living his dream life and he gets paid to do it. And this is more possible than ever because Claude Code basically deleted the build barrier. So, let me give you a real example from my own team. My creative director talks to Claude all day. And back then there was no voice mode. So, he was paying $20 a month for a tool called Whisper Flow. Great tool, by the way. And that turns your voice into text. So, he told Claude to build him his own version. And it took about 20 minutes. And the thing worked. It was janky as hell. It was buggy, but it worked. but it just wasn't as good as the real product. And that right there is the entire lesson. Anyone can build an app now, but people only pay for a great one. Quick and dirty doesn't sell. Now, the cool thing about software is the ceiling is ridiculous. And I've personally seen people build $10 million oneperson businesses with AI. And in software, you can go as far as you want. Now, you might be thinking, Shane, I can't code. You don't need to. Claude Code writes the code. You just supply the problem worth solving, and then you go back and forth with it until it actually works. and all you got to do is literally talk to it. So, you might be asking, "Well, Shane, why is this only number nine?" Because it can be a side hustle, but if you really want it to work, it's a full-time job. And actually, it's more like two full-time jobs, or more than that. Building the product is one, but marketing the product is the other. A great app with no marketing is a perfect vending machine in the middle of the desert. The machine works fine, there's just nobody around to put money in it. So, here's how to start. Open Cloud Code and pick one annoying problem that you personally have and then build the simplest version that somebody would pay for. Put a Stripe link on it and charge from day one. And the total cost here is a Claude subscription and a weekend. So, here's the Cloud prompt that you can put in. By the way, I'll put it on the screen. And again, I do recommend that you download the resources in the description, the pin comment below, as these prompts will work even better with those. All right, section three is selling digital products. And I like to call this cozy sleepy money. This is sleep money. You make the thing once and it pays you while you're unconscious. And the best example I know is my community member Shawn Doit. So Shawn's in the Amazon KDP world and that's Kindle Direct Publishing, which is basically self-publishing books. And at his peak, he made millions doing this. And here's the part that I love. At one point, Shawn knew absolutely nothing about KDP. And today, he's made millions in digital products. And he teaches other people how to do the same thing on his channel. And it's not just books. There's a 26-year-old named Danvven Sharam making $4,000 a month and doubling selling AI prompts. Yes, prompts on a $5 to$20 subscription. Then there's Thomas Frank who sold over $2.1 million worth of notion templates in just 2 years. And the interesting thing about Thomas, that money came from his second YouTube channel, not his main one. Right? There was so much demand for people buying these notion templates that he started a second channel that was all about notion. And the reason this all works is simple. A digital product has no inventory, no shipping, and it costs absolutely nothing to copy. So, it's kind of like planting an orchard. You dig it once, and every season after that, the tree just hands you the fruit. And Claude kills the production bottleneck. The research, the outline, the draft, the sales page, the writing part is basically free. Now, your job is taste and niche selection. That's it. Now, this one is not all butterflies and rainbows, right? It sounds really good in theory. You just build a digital product one time and you sell it forever after that and you never have to do anything. But there's a reason this is number eight on the list and not number one. Anything that is incredibly easy to do, where there's a low barrier to entry or it's very easy to do or you can do it all with AI or somebody in India or Nigeria could do it. That means there's going to be a massive amount of competition, right? So this kind of applies to number 10, the AI slop channels as well. You know, making like a faceless YouTube automation channel. Sure, there are people that do it and there are people make money doing it, but the truth is what's stopping somebody from India from competing with you as an American? Pretty much nothing. And that means you have billions of extra competitors. And so if you're going to sell something like this, you're going to need traffic. And you need a way to differentiate yourself. And that's something we'll talk about a little bit later on. But let's talk about how to start this one. Pick one product type like a KDP book, a template pack, a niche guide, and pick one platform, for instance, Amazon KDP or Gumroad, and then ship one product in 7 days with Claude doing the drafting, and then make the next one better. Now, here's a Claude prompt you can put up on the screen, and you can screenshot this and put it into Claude, and this will get you started in the right direction. With that being said, I would recommend checking out my interview that I did with Sean where he talks about how he was able to make so much money with digital products. And it'll probably pop up like right here or something. And with that being said, as well, I'm going to be doing a live training this week where I talk about exactly how I grew this YouTube channel and how Sean grew his YouTube channel and his side hustle completely from scratch for complete beginners. And you can click the link in the description and the pin comment below to check that out because all these side hustles work, but you need one thing, which is traffic in order to sell to people. And that's exactly what I'm going to help you do in this live training is generate traffic. Now, I'm also going to be giving away an AI that we've been working on. We spent thousands of hours on this AI and it's going to help you pick your niche or if you already have a niche, it's going to help you dial it in and make it 10 times better. And I'm giving away this AI completely free during this live training and I'm going to show you how to use it. Plus, before, during, and after the live training, I will answer any questions that you have. So, click that link in the description, the pin comment below, and I look forward to seeing you there. All right. Now, let's talk about number seven, which is corporate training. So, I like to call this one teachers money. So, there's a guy named Connor Grin, and he was at NYU's business school, and he started teaching teams how to actually use AI. And the demand got so big that he actually quit his NYU professorship to do this full-time. Now, that's the whole angle right there, right? The training demand was bigger than an NYU career. Then, you've got Jeff Sue. He teaches AI for office productivity. And according to a case study he did, he said he made over $800,000 in a single year, which is just really cool. And here's why this market exists. Companies bought the AI subscriptions and their teams have no clue what to do with them. So, it's the corporate version of buying a gym membership and then never going. We've all been there. So, the tool sits there and the confusion compounds and you can come in and get paid to be the personal trainer. So, you build one workshop for your industry and that is key. It needs to be industry specific and then you teach it, you leave and you get paid. And corporate workshops run at about $3 to $15,000 per session. And unlike agency work, a workshop ends when it ends. No scope creep, no forever client. The catch is bookings are lumpy and getting booked takes standing. People hire the trainer that they've already seen teach. So here's how to start. Build one three-hour clawed for your industry workshop and then pitch one company that you already know, your employer, your old employer, a vendor, and charge $1,500 for the first one to get a testimonial. then raise the price for every booking. And here's a Cloud prompt that can get you started with this. You can screenshot it, put it into Claude if you're interested in this side hustle. All right, number six is going to be what I like to call boring money. So, I'm going to use grant writing as a specific example here, but basically this is where you use AI to do things that are typically extremely boring, tedious, and take a long time. So, my community member Darcy helps people start their businesses and get funding with grants. And her channel got to $235 a day in AdSense alone. And when that happened, she quit her full-time job, put in her two-week notice, and also landed a $4,500 client. So, she's making a lot of money every month, way more than she was making from her job. And here's the thing about grants. Businesses and nonprofits are desperate for this money. The applications are long, structured, and deadline driven, and there's a lot of documents you have to submit, which happens to be the exact kind of writing that Claude is best at in the world. And almost nobody on staff knows how to write them. And freelance grant writers charge $1,500 to $5,000 per application. And the clients come back every single year. And the highest paid writing work isn't creative, it's institutional. So being a grant writer is like being the only locksmith in a town full of locked doors. Everyone knows the money is on the other side and they just can't get the door open and you hold the key. So one rule if you do this claude drafts, but you have to verify every single number before it goes out. The slop grant writers get blacklisted by funders. The careful ones inherit the whole market. Now, by the way, I used to work for a 501c3 nonprofit, and I help them write grants. So, I know exactly how this works, and there is a lot of opportunity here, and we've had several community members that do this professionally. So, here's how to start. Pick a cause that you actually care about. Offer the first grant at a discount to build the whole portfolio piece, and then move $2,000 plus dollars per application. Say the $2,000 as an estimate, and then one or two nonprofit clients on repeat can make some serious monthly income. So, here's a Cloud prompt. You can screenshot it and put it in claude if you're interested in starting with this one. Now, this is grant writing. There's obviously a lot of other opportunities that you can do. There are so many different processes that take a massive amount of paperwork. That's a massive headache. And you can help people do those things faster with AI. So, the next side hustle is going to be number five, selling a course on your niche skill. And this could also be called knowledge money. So, a great example of this one is our community member Steven. Steven is an engineer who spent a long time learning a very specific type of CAD software called Seammens NX. Now, you have probably never heard of this CAD software before, but to people that are in his engineering profession, it is very important to be exceptionally skilled with this software. And he started a course about how to use this software for other engineers. And he did over $12,000 in course sales in just a couple months with almost all the purchases coming from YouTube. And one of the orders, which was about $1,100, was from a meta engineer that Steven had never spoken to in his entire life. So, these are the absolute best of the best engineers in the world. And they paid for his software. So, you don't need to be famous. You just need to be findable and you need to solve a specific problem that certain people have. And in this particular case, the problem was this software is really hard to use. And he made a course that makes it easy, right? And you don't even need a big channel either. He had a tiny channel promoting this. And there's also a guy named Evban Shawn with a tiny YouTube channel. We're talking small, but he runs a paid community with his course inside and it has 249 members at roughly $26 a month. That's over $6,000 a month from a small channel. And here's the principle. The more boring and specific your skill is, the better the course is going to sell. And in Evan Sha's case, he's literally teaching people how to make money on the video game Grand Theft Auto. Now, you might be thinking, Shane, nobody's paying to learn my weird thing. Well, a meta engineer paid $1,100 to learn a CAD software from a total stranger. So, yes, they damn well are. So, here's how to start. Take the skill people already ask you about at work. Then get five pre-sales before you build anything. If five people won't prepay you, pick a different angle. Then build it on something like Thinkic or Gumroad or School with Claude drafting the modules. And here's a prompt. If you're interested in getting started with this one, you can screenshot it, put it into Claude. And one other thing I'll say about this is if you're wondering what the heck you should make your course about, definitely attend my live training. Click the link in the description, the pin comment below, cuz that's exactly what I'm going to help you do. That's like the main thing we're going to go over at the live training. All right, next. Number four is helping businesses integrate AI. And I like to call this fixer money. And I need to yell about this one for a second because everyone in their mom is selling, I'll help you with AI, bro. And most of them are terrible at it, right? And business owners are burned. They're frustrated. And the market is flooded with slop sellers. And the days of cold DMing strangers as a total no-name and getting service jobs where you install AI in someone's company and you know exactly the DMs I mean and getting paid for that. Well, those days are dead. Okay, it's not that easy to get clients anymore because businesses have gotten burned so many times by people who have no idea what they're doing and they just waste their time. But, and this is the tension, the money is very real. Chad Vavra makes $10,000 a month just installing AI systems inside of other people's businesses. And here's how you know this market prints. Daniel Fazio, another one of my community members, makes over 500,000 a month and he actually pivoted to doing AI assisted agencies. And here's how you know this market prints. Daniel went allin on this offer. And a business owner does not pivot a working offer unless the new one is really, really good. And the pivot itself is the proof. Now, the going rate for AI consultants is $100 to $300 an hour. But think about post hurricane roofing for a second. Right after the storm, every guy with a hammer calls himself a roofer. Homeowners get burned and they only hire the one their neighbor vouches for. And that's this market flooded with hammers starving for trust. And let me be real with you, a full AI agency is not a side hustle. The outreach alone is a full-time job. And once you land the client, guess what? They expect actual work. They expect you to actually deliver. And that's why this caps at number four instead of being number one. I do think it's a really good opportunity. But the marketing side turns into a full-time job if you don't have a way to reliably get clients. So, here's how to start. Pick one vertical that you already understand and one deliverable. For instance, I set up Claude for law firms or maybe even more specific than that, but that's a good place to start. Not I do AI. Then document one build publicly so people can find and verify for you. Then let them come to you. Don't cold DM as a no-name. And more on that here in a bit. And here's the Claude prompt. Again, screenshot it, put it into Claude if you're interested in this one. All right. Number three is taking a normal business and putting Claude inside of it. Now, I like to call this forklift money. Now, my own AI guy, Matt, recently did the work of about 10 people in a recruiting operation. Not an exaggeration, 10. The sourcing, the screening, the outreach, the summaries, etc. And he's honestly pretty goated at it. Shout out to Matt. Or my client Carla. She integrated AI into her recruiting business. And her videos average about 200 views, and she landed a contract that's worth over $100,000 from a tiny YouTube channel and videos that get 200 views max. Right? So, if you do YouTube the right way, you don't need viral views. You just need the right 200 people watching. So, every normal business has a department that secretly is just reading and writing, right? Resumes in, summaries out, emails at volume, reports that nobody wants to type. Claude eats that work up. It's like a warehouse guy who's carried boxes by hand his old career, and someone finally handed him a forklift. Same warehouse, same boxes, but 10 times the output. So, this one is top three because the customers already exist. You're not starting from zero. You're deleting labor costs inside of machine that already prints money. The only catch is you need a business or a job inside of a business to start or you need to just start that business from scratch. But I do think this one is very underrated because there's so many traditional boring businesses out there that make a massive amount of money and they have absolutely no idea how to use AI. And if you figure out how to use AI, you have a competitive advantage because you can do the same amount of work 10 times faster. So here's how to start. List the three most repetitive writing tasks in your business or your job. Build one cloud project for each. Measure the hours saved in week one. That number is either your raise, your margin, or your pitch. And here's a cloud prompt. I'll put it on the screen. You can screenshot it if you're interested in this one. All right. Number two is going to be hyper specific service or coaching hybrid. And I like to call this specialist money. And this is the business model that I have seen the most people make a full-time income from. And I've also seen the most people make not just a living, but a killing from. And that's where you basically sell high ticket coaching or a high ticket product. Now, here's the law. I'll help you with AI, bro. Is the new I'll do your marketing bro, right? Vague offers get bad outcomes. Specific offers get premium prices. So, for instance, my client Davis helps people get into management consulting roles, and he has a fullervice offer to help them do that. Now, with some of it, it's coaching. For instance, he can't do the interviews for them, but he can coach them how to do the interviews better. For some of it, it's just a course, so it's basically just a digital product that they can go through themselves. And then for some of it, he literally does the work for them, right? So, it's kind of like a hybrid offer, but it is a productized service where it's scalable. But it's not just career coaching, right? It's full service like resumes, LinkedIn, portfolio, etc. for people trying to break into management consulting roles specifically. But the hybrid part is the magic. You do the documents for them and you coach the parts that you can't do for them. So, you can't sit in the interview for somebody, but you can drill them until they're dangerously good at answering interview questions. And notice he's just teaching what he already learned in his own past. To Davis, this stuff is simple, but to someone who's never had the job, that advice is gold. And consultants make a lot of money, and the people will gladly pay to get in the door. So, your obvious can be somebody else's expensive. So, a general practitioner bills a fraction of what a surgeon bills. Same medical degree, but different specificity. And I want to go back to the point about this being obvious, right? So many people will try to sell something that they just aren't familiar with because the grass always looks greener on the other side. And that's like starting a marathon from the starting line and thinking that you're going to win against like a thousand other people. Chances are, unless you're a worldclass athlete, you are not going to win a marathon against a thousand other people. But what if you started 90% of the way in and everyone else was starting at the starting line? In that case, you would probably win almost every single time. And that's exactly what teaching what you already know does for you. You've already spent thousands of hours doing the thing, right? In Steven's case, it was the CAD software. He already spent thousands of hours mastering it. In Davis's case, it was getting into management consulting. He already spent thousands of hours getting into management consulting. In Shawn's case, it was Amazon KDP. He already spent thousands of hours getting really good at Amazon KDP. And I can go on and on and on here. But if you try to do something that you aren't familiar with, I know it probably looks really shiny. It's a shiny object. It's super sexy. The grass is always greener on the other side, but you're going to be starting from square one, and you're gonna have to figure out everything that you don't already know. Or you could just teach the younger version of yourself how to solve the problem that you already solved. And that's probably the smarter way to do it in 99% of cases. And that's one thing we're going to be helping you do when we help you select your niche in the live training this week. So do not miss out on that. Click that link in the description in the pen comment below. Should be the first link down there. But here's how to start a specialist service. Take a transition that you personally made like a career, a skill, a certification, a side hustle that you made money from, a problem that you were able to overcome in your life, a rare accomplishment that you were able to make, etc. Anything. then do the documents for them, coach the performative parts, bundle it at $1,000, and then to get 10 clients and do a 1-hour coaching session with them once per week. And so you can get this done in 10 hours a week. And that is the whole model. Now, here's the cloud code prompt if you're interested in this one. You can screenshot it, put it into Claude if you're interested in this one. And one other thing I'll say about this is you can do coaching and you can also do the service or you can do like a hybrid of both of them. And honestly, it really depends on the niche that you're in which one you should start with. Davis, for instance, started off with a service. He was literally just helping people do their resumes at first. And then eventually he added on coaching and other things to basically fully take care of the problem instead of just taking care of part of it. And this is basically what I've done as well with my program. So I basically help people grow a YouTube channel and monetize it from scratch and basically treat YouTube like a business. And we have a course component, but we also have a group coaching component because a lot of people like to be in groups. We have a one-on-one coaching component, literally one-on-one calls, also one-on-one chat support with the same coach that you do the one-on-one calls with, as well as any of our other specialist coaches. And we have a community of people that are basically sharing their wins. Plus, we have lots of different AIs and tools that basically solve every possible problem that you can encounter when it comes to YouTube. And that's why we have such an insanely high success rate in our community is because it's a fullervice solution. Anything that we can do for them, but the stuff that we can't do for them, we have resources for that or one-on-one coaching, etc., etc. And that's something that we'll talk about in the live training that I'm doing this week. Click the link in the description in the pin comment below. But that brings us to number one, which is building a YouTube personal brand. So, this is what I like to call magnet money. And it's the entire reason that this list is ranked the way that it's ranked. Every single hustle on this list works, and every single one of them needs the exact same thing, which is traffic. No traffic means you spent full-time hours hunting customers, which means you don't have a side hustle, you have a second damn job. So, solve the traffic problem once in under four hours a week and every single other side hustle on this list works and it gets easy. So, the play is becoming the go-to AI for whatever your world is person. So, AI for recruiters or AI for lawyers or AI for accountants or AI for nurses or AI for real estate agents, etc., etc. Now, you might be thinking, Shane, YouTube saturated. Saturated with what? AI slop. YouTube just deleted 35 million subscribers worth of channels. So, the lane for real humans with real experience has never been more open. And look at how many people are already running this exact play. Richard Walls was working 60 to 80 hours a week when he first started, and we still helped him get to over $12,000 in a single month from YouTube. So, even if you're very busy, you can do this. College Hacked helps people graduate from college faster by stacking online college credits. So, it's not even about jobs. It could be about the education for the job. And he got to multiple six figures a year from this. And they're not special. They're just using the same playbook. Now, here's the part that makes this an asymmetric bet. Meaning that when you win, you win. And if you lose, you still win. Even if the channel money stalls, even if the business that you launch from the channel doesn't work out, you still win. Think about Josh for instance. He started making very useful YouTube videos about cyber security and IT, you know, telling people which certifications to get or what degrees they need to get or maybe they don't need to get degrees or how to get into certain jobs. Just very useful content. And his YouTube channel was making less than $1,000 a month when we first started working with me. But he still ended up getting offers from fang companies and Fortune50 companies because of how useful his content was and because of the fact that he established himself as an authority. But then he started making 5,000 a month, then 10,000 a month, then 30,000 a month. And by that point, he hadn't even launched any other products. He was just recommending other people's products and services. And then eventually his channel got all the way up to $180,000 a month. Right? But even if his channel stalled at $1,000 a month, he was still recognized as an authority in his industry. And he was getting job offers and all kinds of other different opportunities that he never would have gotten if he didn't start the channel. And at scale, a channel like this, the floor is honestly around a million dollars a year from AdSense and sponsorships as well as affiliate marketing alone. Because everyone, and I mean everyone, is buying AI stuff right now. And everyone is still buying stuff that solves their problems. So every business on this list is a shop and a personal brand is owning the road the shop sits on. Whatever gets built next, the road is going to get paid. So, the way to get started with this is to attend my live training this week. Click that link in the description, the pin comment below. And I know that 99% of you are going to watch my videos, get a ton of value out of them. I see the comments. I see the DMs. I see the emails from people saying how much they appreciate all the free stuff that I put out. So, you're going to watch my content, you're going to download my free resources, you're going to come to my live trainings and get a massive amount of value out of that. But, we are never going to end up working together. And that's totally okay. I always want to give 10 or even a hundred times more value than what I receive. With that being said, I know there's 1% of you out there, maybe 0.1% of you out there that want a one-on-one mentorship, one-on-one handholding experience, or you want us to literally just do the work for you. But the thing is, we can only work with a very limited amount of people in that capacity, right? One-on-one coaching or one-on-one service work is very limited. We can only work with five people, for instance, right now. But if you're in that category, then go ahead and book a call by clicking the link in the description in the pin comment below. It should be the second link down there. And on this call, we'll figure out where you are right now, where you want to be. We'll make a plan to get there, and we'll see if we're a good fit to work together or not. We only accept about 18% of people who apply because we want to make sure that you're the type of person that we can get results for. With that being said, the types of people we typically work with are professionals with at least 10 years of experience or people who are overachievers in something that they have done and they want to help other people by teaching the thing that they've already done. We also work with businesses that want to get more views, get more subscribers, make more money, and grow 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 they want to crush it even harder. And we work with people who have big followings on other platforms or they have a big audience because of a book they wrote, but they want to bring that audience over to YouTube because they know that YouTube is the best. So, if that sounds like you, click the link in the description, the pin comment below to book a call, and we look forward to talking with you. With that being said, check out this video right here to see exactly how we helped Shawn get to over $500,000 in a single month on YouTube.
