5 Easy Ways to Make Money with AI Now

Right now people are making real money with AI. Full-time income, side incomes, some are actually replacing their day jobs and most of them aren't coders. Most of them aren't even tech people. They're freelancers, they're business owners, they're creators, they're regular people who figured out that AI tools can turn their time into money faster than almost anything else available out there right now.

So in this video I'm walking you through the five easiest ways to make money with AI right now. These aren't theories, these aren't someday maybe ideas, these are working right now, people are doing them today and by the end of this you'll know exactly which one fits you and how to get started. So let's go. The first one is selling AI services and look this is probably the most direct path to income with AI.

You pick a service, use AI to do most of the work and you charge a client for the result. Simple. But here's where most people get stuck. They think they need to offer everything.

AI copyright, AI images, AI videos, AI automation. They try to be a one-stop shop and end up confusing everyone including themselves. The people actually making money with this, they get specific, like really specific. I'll give you an example.

An agency I know they offer one thing, AI written SEO blog posts for local businesses. That's it and he charges about 500 pounds a month per client. He's got 12 clients, you do the maths right. So what services are working right now?

Well AI SEO content is huge. Local businesses, e-commerce brands, service businesses, they all need content and they can't afford a full-time writer. So you come in with AI, you produce 8 to 10 blog posts a month and you charge 300 to 800 pounds depending on the niche. AI social media content is another one.

Businesses are literally drowning trying to keep up with the Facebook, their Instagram, their LinkedIn. So if you use AI to write the captions, plan the calendar, generate ideas, they pay you monthly to handle it. AI generate graphics and creative assets too. So for example you could use Canva with AI, you could use Midjourney, Adobe Firefly.

You can produce high quality branded content fast and e-commerce brands need product imagery, ad creatives, email headers. So you can turn those around in literally hours with AI and there's also email marketing with AI. So writing sequences, subject lines, campaign copywriting, you know AI does most of the heavy lifting. You position yourself as a person who makes yourself sure that the email list is actually working right.

And the key is this, pick one single service and get really good at it and find the clients who need it badly enough to pay. Don't try to do everything at once. Now here's where it gets interesting because lots of people ask me how do I get clients in the first place? That's a real question and that leads me to the second money method which is actually about content.

I'll come back to clients in a second, keep watching because the content strategy I'm going to share in a minute is the fastest way to get inbound clients without paying for ads. But first the second way to make money with AI is AI avatar videos. This one is blowing up right now and it's moving fast so pay attention. AI avatar tools for example like HeyGen, Synesthesia and a bunch of newer ones let you create realistic video content without ever turning on a camera.

You just script it, you pick an AI avatar, the AI voices it and moves it and out comes a professional looking video. Who's buying this? Tons of people, right? E-commerce brands want product explainer videos but can't justify hiring a video team.

Real estate agents want listing videos in multiple languages. Coaches and consultants want course content without sitting in front of a camera for 12 hours. Corporate training teams need regular onboarding and compliance videos. And the really interesting opportunity right now is multi-language content as well.

So for example an e-commerce brand can reach Spanish, French, German and Portuguese markets with the same video just swapped into different languages using AI voice cloning and avatar technology, right? That used to cost tens of thousands of dollars. Now it's just a few hundred dollars in a couple hours. The business model here is either productized so you charge a flat fee per video or per batch of videos or retainer based where a brand pays you monthly and you produce their whole video pipeline.

The setup cost is pretty low too so most of these tools are like 50 to 100 dollars per month. Your margins are high because the AI does the production. Your time goes into scripting and editing. One thing I'll say here, the quality of the avatar tool varies a lot.

Heygen is currently one of the strongest right now and the avatars look real. The lip sync is good. Synesthesia is strong for corporate as well. So there are also newer tools coming out fast worth keeping an eye on what's dropping right now.

Now before I get into method number three I want to pause for a second because if you're watching this and thinking this all sounds good but I don't know where to start. I don't know which tools to use. I don't know how to price my services or find my first client. That's exactly what we cover inside the AI Profit Board and we've got a 30 day roadmap built around starting and growing an AI services business.

Coaching calls every week where you can ask questions live about your specific setup. Whether that's AI content, avatar videos or whatever you're building. And 2,800 members in there right now. A lot of them already making money with AI services sharing what's working.

You can connect with people in your city using the member map. Ask questions 24 7 because there's always someone online. Link in the comments description or just go to the AIprofitboard.com. Now method number three, teaching AI.

This is massive and most people sleep on it because they think who's going to pay me to teach AI. I'm not an expert. I'm still learning myself. Here's the thing, you don't need to be a world-class expert.

You just need to be a few steps ahead of your audience. Right now the gap between people who understand how to use AI tools and people who don't is enormous. The platform people are using right now for this is usually school. It's a community platform where you can host courses, discussions, a calendar of events and you charge a monthly membership fee.

This model works like this. So you pick a specific audience. Not everyone who wants to learn AI, way more specific than that. So for example local business owners who want to use AI to get more customers.

It could be coaches who want to automate their content. It could be e-commerce sellers who want to use AI for product listings and ads. The more specific the better. You then build a small community around that.

Do weekly calls, share tutorials, answer questions and you charge 20 to 97 pounds a month for doing this. Even with 100 members you're looking at 2000 pounds to 9700 pounds a month in recurring revenue. The AI tools teach themselves almost. You're creating, you're explaining in plain English, you're showing people which tools to use and how to use them for their specific situation.

This is a compounding model. Members bring in other members, your content library grows over time, your reputation builds and every week you do a call you're adding value that keeps people subscribed. What do you actually teach? I would focus on the specific workflows people need.

How to write better prompts, how to automate their social media, how to use AI to write their email sequences, how to build simple automations about coding, real practical stuff that saves some time and makes some money. The barrier to starting a school group is low. You can start with 10 members and grow from there. The tech is easy and the demand is only going up because AI is moving so fast that people are desperate for someone to help them keep up.

Now method number four. This is one I think is massively undervalued right now and it's going to get more valuable fast and that is selling OpenCore setups. OpenCore is an AI agent framework and right now businesses are waking up to what AI agents can actually do. Automate tasks, handle workflows, do research, write content, manage processes, run without a human in the loop.

But here's the thing, most business owners have no idea how to set up an OpenCore agent. They don't know the configuration, they don't know how to write good system prompts, they don't know how to connect it to their tools, they just know they want it to work right so they pay someone to set up for them. This is a real service category right now. People are charging anywhere from £500 to £5,000 for a custom OpenCore setup depending on complexity.

An agency owner who knows how to configure OpenCore for a specific use case for business, whether that's lead generation, content production, customer service, can charge a lot for that because the ROI for the business is obvious. Now what does a typical setup look like? Well you take the business you need. So say they want an agent that monitors their inbox, drafts responses to common inquiries and flags anything urgent.

You build the agent, configure the memory, connect the integrations, test it and hand it over. That's a few hours of work if you know what you're doing and the client gets an automated workflow that saves them hours every single week. The more complex setups, multi-agent workflows for example, custom integrations, automations across multiple platforms, that's where the bigger fees are. And this is only growing.

OpenCore 4.15 just dropped. More capabilities, more reliable outputs, better tool use. Every update makes the agents more useful which means more businesses want them, which means more demand for people who know how to build them too. Now if you want to position yourself in this space now, whilst most people still don't know what OpenCore is, the time is right.

Okay and again this loops back into selling AI services because once you set up an OpenCore agent for a client, you can offer a monthly retainer to manage, update and improve it. Recurring revenue on top of the service fee and the setup fees originally. Now one thing that ties all of this together, whether you're selling AI services, making avatar videos, running a school community or building OpenCore setups, you need clients right. You need people who exist and trust you enough to pay you.

Which brings me to method number five and this honestly might be the most important one of all, which is creating content on social media. For example on x and Facebook and actually monetizing it. And here's why this matters. Every single method I've talked about today so far gets dramatically easier if you have an audience right.

An audience means inbound clients. It means people come to you. It means you don't have to cold pitch. It means you can sell a community membership, a course, a setup service and people actually buy it.

And right now AI content is one of the fastest growing content categories on social media. X, Facebook, YouTube. There's huge demand for people explaining AI tools in plain English, showing what's working, helping normal people understand this stuff right. The monetization on x is now direct.

X pays creators through ad revenue sharing if you hit certain thresholds. So five million impressions I think it is in 90 days. A premium subscription. People with AI content accounts are hitting those numbers fast because the topic is so hot and the engagement is real.

Facebook is a different model but equally powerful right. Facebook groups around AI tools, AI for business, AI automation, they're growing fast. You can build a community there for free, drive them to your paid offer and use Facebook ads to pour fuel on it once you know what you're doing. The content strategy that works right now, what you're actually doing with AI, the actual tool, the actual workflow, the actual result right.

People are sick of vague AI hype posts. They want to see what you're actually doing, what you're actually working on and sharing your screen. So for example you could create a content piece that's like here's how I used AI to write a month of Instagram content in 20 minutes. And that will outperform any theory post every time right.

And once you're creating content anyway to get clients to build an audience to sell services, you can repurpose everything. So one video becomes a post, one post becomes thread, one thread becomes a tutorial in your community. AI tools make repurposing fast too. So you write it once and then you spread it everywhere.

The creator is doing this well right now, posting like three to five times a week minimum, staying focused on a specific audience and being genuinely useful. Not just like AI's crazy post but actual here's a tool, here's how it works, here's what it can do for you today. Now let me bring this all together because the five methods I've talked about and walked you through aren't separate paths. They're actually a system.

You create content to build an audience. Your audience sends you clients for your AI services. You productize your services and sell open core setups. And then you package your knowledge into a school community.

And you use AI avatar videos to scale your content and your offers. Each one feeds the others and the whole thing compounds over time. The people I see making serious money with AI right now aren't doing one thing perfectly. They're doing two or three things consistently and then letting them build on each other.

Now what's the actual starting point because one of the mistakes people make is trying to do all five at once and ending up doing none of them well. Pick one of them instead right. Look at where you already have some strength. If you've got a skill for example writing, marketing, design, sales, there's an AI services offering that wraps around that skill.

And if you're good on camera or comfortable writing, content is your fastest path to audience and clients. If you're more technical and you want to get into the agent space, open core setups are a real opportunity right now. And the one thing I'd say is this. Start making money before you start building community right.

Get at least one or two paying clients or some kind of revenue before you start teaching others. Not because you need to be an expert but because having real experience makes your teaching way more credible and way more useful.
