This video outlines five AI-driven side income strategies for employed individuals to build significant revenue streams. By leveraging AI tools to automate content creation and service delivery, users can maximize earnings while minimizing time spent. The speaker emphasizes that combining a valuable product or service with a traffic source like YouTube is the key to financial success.
In this video, I'm going to be giving you five cloud AI 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 four 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 a 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 and 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 five to six 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 it 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 five hours of your time, and now you can do it in something
like 15 minutes.
So obviously I'm using the hyper-specific 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 three 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 nine to five.
Quick break.
I'm going to be doing a live training this week on how to start YouTube step-by-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 Chachapiti
as well as ClaudeSkills, 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 pinned 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.
With that being said, in the workshop, you'll get to meet me, and you'll get to ask me questions
directly.
So, I look forward to seeing you.
So, click the link in the description and the pinned 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 resume 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 nine 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, he has a YouTube channel called A Life After Layoff,
and he has a video about tips on how to write a better resume.
Which I look at a lot of resumes, and I do a lot of resume 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 vidIQ.
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 resume 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 resumes 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
For instance, Davis made it to over a hundred K 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 they were able to scale it to really big numbers.
And resumes 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 that 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, Judd 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 eight 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 and 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've 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 fifties.
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 tailor-made 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
Judd did.
Because obviously, there's so many different ways to make money out there.
There's so many great niches out there, but you've 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 and 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 waitlist 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 Chachaputi 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 JE 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 vidIQ 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 thousand 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 rates.
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 five 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 Pulliam, 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 nine to five.
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 six months, according to this article, he made about $30,000 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.
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 high paying IT
and cybersecurity 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 high paying cybersecurity jobs.
And it's not just tech jobs.
For instance, you've got the financial controller.
I mentioned him a little bit earlier, Bill Hanna, who's basically teaching accountants
how to get a job as a financial controller.
And these accounts were making anywhere between $50,000 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 and J Metal, and they basically made a video about
how to make pickled 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 and the pinned comment below.
And for those of you who join, I will be giving away a new AI that we worked on called the
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
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 pinned 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 pinned 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 because 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 pinned 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 they want to crush it even harder.
And we work with people who are big on other social media platforms, but they want to bring
those people over to YouTube because they know that their audience on YouTube is going
to convert way better than anywhere else.
So if that sounds like you, click that link in the description in the pinned comment below.
