Video Summary
AI Generated
This video explores how to leverage AI to build high-income side hustles, moving from low-value \"slop\" to high-ticket specialist services. The speaker emphasizes that the greatest earning potential comes from combining AI efficiency with specific, real-world expertise to solve \"boring\" institutional problems or provide hyper-specific transformations for clients.
Today I'm going to be ranking the top 10 Claude 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 AI 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 pinned 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, 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 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 slop 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 slop 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 algro.online, and you basically scroll through it, and surprise, surprise, a whole
lot of these bans 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 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 VidIQ, this channel's making about $9.1 thousand 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 made up 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 slob 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, Sleep and 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 a
hundred 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 Liu.
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 dollars, not bad.
In 2021, I was fired from my software engineering 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
Whisperflow.
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 one-person 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 Claude 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 Claude 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 in the pinned
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, Sean Dolit.
So Sean'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, Sean 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 Danvin 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
two 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 seven 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 pinned 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 pinned 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 teacher's money.
So there's a guy named Connor Grennan, 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 Su.
He teaches AI for office productivity, and according to a case study he did, he said
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 in 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 $3,000 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 clod 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 clod prompt that can get you started with this.
You can screenshot it, put it into clod 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 clod 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.
Clod 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 helped 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 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 clod prompt.
You can screenshot it and put it in clod, 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 Siemens 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 Evan Sean 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 Sean'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 Thinkific 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 in the pinned comment below because 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's money.
And I need to yell about this one for a second because everyone and 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.
OK.
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 all in 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 Cloud 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 call DM as a no-name.
And more on that here in a bit.
And here's the Cloud prompt.
Again, screenshot it, put it into Cloud if you're interested in this one.
All right, number three is taking a normal business and putting Cloud 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 goaded 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.
Cloud eats that work up.
It's like a warehouse guy who's carried boxes by hand his whole 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 a 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 full-service 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, et cetera, 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 world-class 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 Sean'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 to the side, but you're going to be starting from square one
and you're going to 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 pinned 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
and 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 one 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 cloud 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 full service 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, et cetera, et cetera.
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 pinned 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 and 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 a person.
So AI for recruiters or AI for lawyers or AI for accountants or AI for nurses or AI
for real estate agents, et cetera, et cetera.
Now, you might be thinking, Shane, YouTube saturated, saturated with what AI slop.
YouTube just deleted thirty five 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 twelve thousand dollars 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 cybersecurity and I.T., 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 a thousand dollars a month when he first
started working with me. But he still ended up getting offers from Fane companies and
Fortune 50 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 pinned comment below.
And I know that 99 percent 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 OK.
I always want to give 10 or even 100 times more value than what I receive.
With that being said, I know there's one percent of you out there, maybe zero point one percent
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 pinned comment below 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 percent 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 in the pinned 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 Sean
get to over $500,000 in a single month on YouTube.
